Review of Nomad Asian Bistro

GOOD!! Don’t write this place off til you read this

I’m a super sensitive celiac and I’ve ordered this food more times than anyone in here ; we drive all the way from Anaheim hills area to Long Beach just to get it.

There’s a reason it’s busy - this is the only authentic halal Chinese food place in america - and more of the items here are gluten free than are listed online, including the Garlic Jalapeño chicken

When you place your order, you need to put into the notes or stress to them gluten-free ; even the ones without much English here understand what that means.

Get the Chicken chow fun, kung pao chicken, garlic jalapeno chicken (GF) and the spicy yellow curry chicken rice.

I highly recommend you take this home, if you do. You are almost always have a good experience. I have eaten here at least 20 times and been sick only once; and only mildly, meaning who knows if it was actually the food. I wouldn’t risk eating IN the restaurant because of contamination risks with the table, utensils etc but

THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST GF NOODLES AND CHINESE FOOD YOU CAN GET Anywhere near OC or Long Beach or LA.

It deserves a much higher rating because this is exactly the kind of thing people like us are always looking for and it’s a SHAME that it’s been voted down.

Any non-dedicated GF facility requires common sense ; order yourself to stress GF, pick up yourself, eat at home (or somewhere safe) with utensils and things you know aren’t dusted with flour or touched by servers handling gluten. Don’t order during peak hours when kitchens are crazy. Follow these simple rules to have a much higher success rate at not glutening yourself unnecessarily.

Nomad is awesome. I came back here to rewrite my original view and add an extra star and extra heart because just because you got sick once is no reason to one star or one heart a place 🤦‍♂

FindmeGF NEEDS a way to filter out NON celiac reviews and give less credence to ratings based on one visit or one bad experience having their food delivered by god knows who who touched god knows what. 😖
