Review of Noodles Fresh

Overall Rating

Review


I have eaten here a lot, but have recently been glutened a few times. The first time, we realized that they heat all the noodles (wheat and rice) in the same water, so they told me to specify that the water was fresh each time. However, some of the staff don’t seem to know what you’re talking about, so… it’s a little risky.

The next few times, it turns out that some items that are labeled gluten free are in fact not! For instance, the beef tendon is actually cooked in soy sauce, even though they say it’s a gf option. The chili fish soup uses a chili sauce that also has wheat in it. All of these were confirmed with the owner after I asked her to check ingredients. I didn’t double check with her about the jingde stir fry, but also feel weird after eating it too.

I think there are some items that can be safely ordered here, but a lot of the ones that have any type of sauce that isn’t clear are things to be skeptical of.
