Well marked menu and friendly place. I had shrimp spring rolls and lemongrass chicken with rice. They even have GF soy sauce. Bonus: GF dessert case.

Delicious fast-casual Vietnamese. Menu is well-marked; maybe half is GF with plenty of good options. The vermicelli is made with rice so it's safe. They even have GF soy sauce at the condiment bar.

Gluten free options clearly marked. Many GF options. Food is fresh, delicious. Pho soup, fried rice, chicken/shrimp with vegetables. Staff are well educated and aware of GF issues. One of our absolute favorites. We order often.

Clearly labeled menu, staff were able to confirm that my order was GF. They had gluten free soy sauce at the condiment station and gluten free baked goods for sale from a local GF bakery. I ordered the Chicken Soup Pho Ga and my partner ordered the Lemongrass Tofu. Both were very good. It's a casual place with a patio (not much shade). A little higher priced than some other spots but worth it for good GF food. So far I haven't gotten sick, but it hasn't been long since dinner so I will update if needed!

Learned the hard way to ask all the questions and not to trust the menu (I know my fault). Yes, the menu is marked but certain items marked GF need to have adjustments made. I ordered the spring rolls and something told me after I started eating to confirm. The peanuts sauce that comes with the spring rolls is NOT GF. I asked these questions when I ordered but they guy didn’t understand. We talked with a a manger and got it all sorted out. It’s also on the more pricey side.

This is my favorite go-to pho in Houston (and there are a ton of options!). Not celiac but very sensitive and never had a problem here. The beef noodle soup is perfect for a rainy day and the broth is delicious. Definitely on the pricy side for pho, but it’s worth it when you’re in the mood for a great portion in a cute, clean space.

Have had some of the non-pho dishes and they’re decent, but the beef pho is the reason to come if you’re gf! No separate menu, but gf items are indicated.

Friend & I both got gluten free dishes! I got rolls to begin, to which she assured me the dipping sauce would be switched for GF. Excellent and knowledgeable all around!

I eat here almost every week and have never gotten sick! They will mark gluten allergy on the ticket. They also change their gloves and clean the wok in between each dish. Very fresh ingredients - I always feel better after eating here and I’m very sensitive celiac.

Enjoyed a lunch and shared theses dishes with partner:

- Spring rolls w/ flash fried tofu. Substituted the dipping sauce for GF fish sauce. - Shaken beef with spring salad and jasmine rice (has lime juice on the side for dressing) - Beef pho, prepared GF without hoisin

Within their POS for ordering, they have a gluten free menu for easy communication with kitchen. For guests, GF items are clearly marked on the menu, and the staff was knowledgeable about sauces and necessary measures to prevent cross contamination.

As a nice touch, they have GF hot sauces, both soy sauce and tamari available, and list their local purveyors on the menu! Great experience and service while communicating our dietary needs.
