Review of Mr Chen's Auth Cooking

I was hesitant to try this place since it gives “hole in the wall” vibes, but it really surprised me! We called ahead and talked to someone about my Celiac’s and asked what options they had. She was very knowledgeable and answered every single question we had about cross-contamination, separate cooking spaces, changing gloves and utensils, etc. They take GF seriously and have many options on their menu. We ordered veggie spring rolls that were so incredible I couldn’t believe they were GF. The chow fun with beef was amazing, noodles were yummy and the sauce and meat were good! We also got an order of the Mongolian Beef GF, which we didn’t like as much due to the sauce being too sweet, but it was still a great option. Overall, I would absolutely come back and I really appreciated how accommodating they were with GF soy sauce and allergy precautions! Really awesome and safe Chinese option in Tuscaloosa.
