Nom Wah Tea Parlor

I’ve consistently been able to enjoy gluten free dim sum since discovering this place. It’s among my all time NYC favorites. Definitely recommend.

Almost nothing on the menu is actually gluten free. You can eat the shrimp and beef flat noodles with no dipping sauce. That's it. There are other things on the menu marked as gluten free but if you talk to the wait staff they explain that the other menu items have enough gluten to make it not safe for celiac.

THIS PLACE IS NOT SAFE FOR CELIACS. i literally don.t think i miss anything as much as i miss dim sum..when visiting new york i had this place at the top of my list for a special afternoon. upon arriving i asked the waiter about gluten free options to which she asked if it was celiac or just gluten free. when i said celiac i already knew i had made a horrible mistake in trekking down here. she was very nice&knowledgeable. however, the only safe items for a celiac is a plain folded rice paper. yes..you read that correctly. all of their proteins are marinated in soy sauce not tamari. the fryer is not gluten free either. save yourself the disappointment&do NOT make this trip if you are celiac. you literally cannot have anything.

Some gluten free options, like rice rolls. The broccoli was awesome. Fryer is not gluten free.

They do have a gluten free menu, but I was very rudely informed that if I had celiac I couldn’t eat here. Don’t go here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very tasty steamed rice rolls...wish they had a dedicated fryer so I could try the fried rice rolls, but delish and more options than I’ve seen anywhere.

I was told by the manager to "Go to another restaurant if you are sensitive to gluten". I miss Dim Sum so much😢

Celiac friendly?

No

They mark GF but not a ton of options. But good to have some dim sum. They ensured they used GF soy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF options marked, but also be sure to mention you need GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just ordered the rice roll ! Is safe to eat but no sauce from there" And not all of the gluten free options is with out wheat sauce!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Limited options and unappetizing taste.

Celiac friendly?

No

I am a Celiac from Houston and I say yes this place is GF friendly AS LONG AS YOU TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE CELIAC. Very satisfied with my Chinese greens! Also, get the jasmine tea.☕

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The experience is.... Interesting. There are gluten free options, they're just interesting! The prices are fair and they even have gluten free soy sauce. It's worth a visit, but don't expect exceptional food.

If you make it clear that you are Celiac, they will steer you towards the menu items that are safe: only rice rolls and some beef items (beef balls) are truly safe. They have GF soy sauce and are aware of cross contamination, but regardless, stay away from anything fried, and make sure they bring you your own soy sauce on the side. If you do this, you'll be fine.

Claimed the food on the menu was gluten free and then served it with non-gluten free sauce.I asked them about their frying process and I was asked if I was "gluten free" or Celiacs. The frying process is cross contaminated as well. I believe they are trying to do a good thing by providing gluten free options but I don't believe it is okay on how lightly they are taking the allergy. They need to specify on their menu and not claim something is gluten free that isn't- anything fried there.

A little hidden but so worth the hunt! The food was very good and the staff was friendly and asked if I had celiacs. The menu was clearly marked with what items were gluten free. They even provided a bottle of gluten free soy sauce.

Waitress took excellent care of me. New favorite!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Authentic dim sum but there are really only a few items that I feel confident are gluten free- only the rice rolls are truly safe (and you have to be very clear that they cannot put soy sauce on them). All other items marked gluten free are fried in the same fryer as non-GF food. Their rice rolls are delicious and filling though and they have GF soy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

No

The menu looked fun but after seeing the reviews I figured it was celiac safe. Once we asked the server they said nothing was safe to order and they didn't recommend eating anywhere in the area if you have a gluten sensitivity.

Celiac friendly?

No

Definitely knowledgable about celiac vs gluten allergy. Just because it says no gluten doesn't mean it is gf off the menu, it means they can modify it so it is gf (ie leave off the sauce and give you a bottle of gf soy sauce).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It was very exciting to see a gluten free menu here, however it is unique and different but my taste buds weren't satisfied. And the almond cookie says gluten free on the menu so I ordered one and then the waiter came to our table after eating half the cookie and said oh sorry that's not gluten free, even though the menu says gf. I appreciate his honesty however I had already eaten half the cookie.

Gluten free soy sauce and menu labeling which items are gluten free. They use rice noodles for most of the dishes, so it seemed like there was a lot to order. The waitress understood what gluten was, so I wasn't scared to eat anything. Definitely a great option in Chinatown when gfree eating can be tricky.

Really good dishes dedicated soya sauce, you need to take care in understanding what dish will arrive on the table if you eat with nonGf people. But really good !

While a number of items on their menu are marked gluten free, only 5 items are truly gluten free. Those 5 things are all based on the same concept...plain wide rice noodles with a bit of shrimp or vegetables. Even when desperate for Chinese, the food was bland and gross. Be careful at this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great Dim Sum with lots of GF options. The rice rolls are particularly delicious.
