The food was amazing and when I explained that I needed to order gluten free items he pointed out one error on the menu - the dumplings have gluten in them and it doesn’t say that on the menu. Therefore please ensure you tell them you need gluten free when ordering. I would absolutely go back here

Our meals were delicious! I didn’t get sick and neither did the person with celiac in my group. My only complaint would be that the appetizer took forever to come out to the table and we received our appetizer only about 5 minutes prior to our main dish. Other than that, wonderful experience.

Good understanding of coeliac requirements, good variety of GF dishes. They noted that they have a separate fryer for GF and were also able to adjust one or two dishes to be gluten free.

Made a big effort to make sure as much care as possible was taken. We have eaten there a number of time with our son who is celiac and never had any contamination issues.

Agree with another customer - lovely food, but definitely not coeliac safe. Threw up two hours after eating and sick for ages afterwards. This, despite being assured that what I was served was safe for coeliacs. They have a disclaimer on their menu.

Food was delicious and gluten free items clearly labelled on the menu HOWEVER anything deep fried is cooked in the same vat and this isn’t labelled on the menu. If you are coeliac you would need to speak to the waiter to understand what items marked GF wouldn’t be cross contaminated. He was knowledgeable about which items were a risk. I don’t get immediate symptoms with gluten so difficult to know safety for sure.
