Marco Polo Global Restaurant

I was so happy to be able to eat Chinese food! They have a separate GF cooking area and it all felt quite safe. I had the szechuan beef, it was great!

They’re a safe place to eat for people with celiac. It used to be one of our safe places. But we ate there recently, and it was not good. My daughter’s fried rice was bland, and my dish had rubbery, overcooked chicken and shrimp. It did not taste good. We won’t be eating there again.

Had a GF/vegan Asian entree and was really impressed! It was delicious and didn't cause any sort of a reaction. I've also had a few of their cake slices and can't say I'd recommend them. Very dense and dry. Definitely recommend for a meal though.

Wow- what a treat! We are So CA transplants and stopped over in Salem on our way to our new home. This place is amazing! My daughter has celiac so we have to be careful, but Marco Polo came through big time! We ordered Alfredo dishes and Kung Pao Chicken. All were great!!! So nice to have Asian food again. Highly recommend!

We had wide noodles and pad Thai. Delicious food with very generous portions. There was a separate gluten free menu and gluten free chocolate chip cookies at the end of our meal!

We visited here on our way back to Portland from Eugene. When we were greeted they asked if we needed a gluten free menu. My daughter ordered fried rice. I let the waitress know she has celiac disease and she assured me they treat any gluten free orders as if the person has celiac disease. The fried rice was delicious and safe! They even gave her an individually packaged lemon cookie when they brought the rest of us fortune cookies. The rest of our food was delicious! We will definitely visit this restaurant again when we are in the area.

So good!! I’ve never been able to eat Chinese food at a restaurant before and it was an amazing experience!! The gf yakisoba was really good and I would recommend the sweet and sour soup, I have celiac and had no issues. They’re also great with vegetarian and can do tofu with every dish. The pasta dishes are very rich but still good. The artichoke dip was incredible!

Great restaurant and the staff is fantastic! They aren’t dedicated GF, but they have dedicated GF space. My child and I didn’t get sick. 🙌🏻

Most of the Chinese food items that my family and I have tried have been really good. The noodles and fried rice are delicious. The entrees that come with sauces (Orange Chicken, Salmon with Garlic Sauce, Sweet & Sour Chicken and Kung Pao) were a bit oversauced for our taste. In the future I would order the sauce on the side.

Not a fan of the cakes. Wouldn’t order them again.

The most allergy friendly restaurant I've ever been too. My husband has nevery been tagged with gluten here. We once brought a family member here who has insane allergies. She gave the waiter a list of the things she's allergic to and they were able to make her something delicious. It was the first time she had eaten out in years.

Talk about having options. This is the largest GF menu I’ve ever seen and it’s all delicious. The entire staff knows what gluten is and makes sure to let you know your dishes have been prepped separately. By far our favorite restaurant in town.

Wonderful food and even better service. They have an entire GF menu, cocktails, too! They are very careful not to cross contaminate. We have never had a problem or reaction here. They are amazing and patient with the kids. This is our favorite family restaurant!

Had dinner here last night and no reactions at all. They have a multi-page GF menu with tons of options, many of which are dairy free or vegetarian. And several GF cakes! I had a Chinese noodle dish and cake for dessert and it was tasty. Not my favorite setting, very loungy with tables in the middle and booths around the perimeter, but good food and feels very safe. Would definitely go back. I’m confident in their precautions.

I eat at Marco Polo quite often. I have never had a problem with their food. It’s delicious and safe. Separate GF prep kitchen area and they are knowledgeable and careful. I usually have one of the Chinese food options but I just had their GF special chicken Parmesan with Alfredo pasta. So good!

Cons: I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the menu, but the quality of the food was basic American takes on Asian food in reality. We didn't notice any authentic flavors to the food.

Pros: appreciated that they brought gluten free cookies out at the end of the meal and had separate gluten free menus/kitchen space.

While the quality of food was poor I did feel safe eating what they had.

Separate entire GF kitchen space for GF food preparation and cooking. Marco Polo has been the go-to for safe GF eating for 15 years. Yummy food for me and my non-gluten-free husband. Definitely recommend!!

My daughter is both Celiac and has multiple other restrictions. She was able to find a delicious dish that filled her up. They were super friendly about it and didn’t make her feel that she was a burden like some places do. * update * the owners used some downtime during the early days of the pandemic to create GF Chow Mein, GF Yakisoba noodles and several new desserts! Such amazing food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best and safest gluten free food in Salem. Separate kitchen for gluten free food, you'll notice gluten free food is serves on different shapes plates so the servers can tell what is gluten free. Variety of food options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have asked about cooking separately and they do use separate pans for gluten free meals

Delicious food! Have ordered many times from the gluten free menu and they have always repeated back and made sure was correct. Food is super tasty and a nice treat to have in town.

Drinks from the bar are good

Had a very good time here, the last took good care of us, gf is Celiac and she was happy about having so many choices

Amazing food and lots of leftovers!! Great service as well. And I didn't have any reactions. I will definitely be going back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

While the gluten free menu makes this place seem careful and aware, my boyfriend and I both have celiacs and got sick after eating here. We did not stress that it was an allergy, but ordered from the gluten free menu.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff greeted me and immediately asked if I needed a GF menu. 4+ pages of delicious food options and very fast, friendly wait staff. Ambiance is definitely lacking but if you’re hungry, you can’t go wrong.

Excellent food! Lots of gluten free options. The people are friendly, and the food was out fairly quickly.

I have eaten here on quite a number of occasions since getting diagnosed with Celiac, and have enjoyed it immensely each time, with no issues whatsoever. It's so amazing to have a full gluten-free menu with tons of options, ranging from Chinese to Italian dishes. Gluten free meals are even served on different shaped plates to avoid any issues, and the staff are super in-tune with how important it is for people with Celiac to avoid cross contamination. The smoked salmon GF pasta in cream sauce is incredibly rich, but divine. The pad thai is excellent Egg flower soup is always tasty, and their GF mint chocolate cake is to die for. Great pricing for the quality of food, and we always have extras to take home.

Celiac friendly?

I haven’t had Chinese food for years! It was so delicious and I am a very sensitive celiac person, no reaction at all!!

Celiac friendly?

Really good food, the staff is super nice! And they understand how celiacs need to have their food done! They even put gluten free on separate shaped plates that way they know who’s is gluten free and who’s isn’t!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have been here many times and while I feel the food is safe and I actually like the cake, the other food is not that great

I suppose it's gluten free, because they do make a big fuss about their separate menu, but that's where the positive ends.

Very outdated interior with a menu that's far too big to cook so many things well. The portions were unnecessarily huge, and the waitress comes prepared with to-go boxes, as if this is a normal process. Sadly, we didn't care to keep the mounds of bland food we had left.

Wow. This place is fantastic! We were just passing through Salem and checked Find Me Gluten Free and this restaurant was suggested. Sooooo happy we stopped! The menu is HUGE! And the food was delicious! Definitely recommend trying it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Probably the largest GF menu I have ever seen. It's not too often I can order an appetizer, entree and desert all in one spot. Food was incredible and reasonably priced.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Perfection in almost every dish. love it here. my non gf friends and family love coming here too. No matter what you eat get dessert too. just do it - amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many amazing gf options! Our table had gf Kung pao beef, gf orange chicken, gf garlic shrimp, and gf teriyaki. All incredibly amazing - better than any gourmet Asian cuisine I've had in Seattle. Also tried gf pineapple orange cake - so light and amazing?

Celiac friendly?
