I’ve eaten GF at N&C 100+ times. I’m celiac. I understand the risk. Today I ordered pasta bowl w GF pipette shells and a side mac & cheese w GF pipette shells. Both of them had GF pipette shells but both of them had a different single noodle as well...perhaps an egg noodle? I discovered this late while eating. I probably won’t get sick but that tells me maybe they used a dirty colander or a dirty spoon that had an old noodle on it.

Was going there about 1x a week and then the crew member “Brian” served my GF ASD child gluten. My child noticed the pasta looked different. I brought it back to the counter and he insisted the macaroni we were served was GF (but only the fusilli and rice noodles apparently are) so my son ate it all 😢what makes this worse is another crew person knew he was telling me misinformation when I came with the macaroni to the counter and he allowed us to be misguided. At a future visit this other person told us that he knew Brian was wrong. Double and triple check your order there as they ring it up, on the receipt (they will charge you $1.50 for gf noodles) and when it’s served. Was compensated only when I spoke to a shift Manager at the more recent visit- with 1 meal- not sure that was enough... could take 6 months to leave my son’s system. He’s been having problems answering questions a lot since (foggy brain?) 😢

Fantastic for gluten-free eats. Lots of options and with allergen friendly staff (I even ordered a certain salad and when my husband picked it up they wanted to let him know they had noticed it was a GF order but a salad dressing I'd requested was not actually GF and would he like to change it...). Lots of international fare. My favorite dishes are the Pad Thai and Bangkok Curry. Yum yum yummy! You can also order online for quick and easy pickup.

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.
