Very few options, not celiac safe as there is a lot of cross contamination. My friend found and I both found gluten noodles in with our gluten free meals.

Ordered zucchini pasta hoping it would be gluten free and as far as I can tell it was. Half way through eating it I found a noodle from someone elses order. I specifically asked for no cross contamination and there was contamination to the highest degree. I cannot recommend strongly enough steering clear of this location if you are in any way gluten intolerant.

I’ve loved their Pad Thai for years before I eliminated gluten from my diet. The Pad Thai is GF without modification, which is perfect! You can also replace the pasta with zoodles (zucchini noodles).

I went with my aunt who has Celiac and even after an EXTENSIVE Conversation on the food safety (about 10 Minutes) with 2 Employees, they STILL Messed up and brought her meal with Wheat Pasta. She had just recently started eating GF and had taken a bite before I realized it Didn't LOOK Like GF pasta. The Redeeming factor was that the Manager was Very Nice and apologetic and replaced her meal, BUT she was Already Sick. So, that's kind of a mute point. There's No Going Back after giving someone the wrong thing and making them sick. We Won't go back

Great gluten free food. They can use rice noodles with a lot of their dishes and will even use an allergy pan!

I was very excited to eat the gluten free Mac & cheese. We called to make sure ahead of time that everything would be cooked separately, and told them i had celiac. When I went to order in person I told them the same thing, and still ended up extremely sick sadly

Pad Thai is a good choice for gluten avoiders. They make gluten free noodles but I’m not sure about cross contamination. Many of the sauces have gluten, including the Mac and cheese sauce. Employee was knowledgeable and helpful. This is a good choice for a quick stir fry.

They have separate cookware they use for allergies and take cross contact very seriously. I have always been happy with the attention they take with my order when I mention gluten allergy.

The staff is really friendly and open to answer questions about their menu. The guy at the register even went to confirm the Alfredo sauce didn't have gluten for me.
