Review of Olay's Thai Lao Cuisine

Went in based on the reviews here and high safety rating. It has a lovely outdoor space that extends out back. Large menu including Thai and Lao foods. Told the server I have a gluten allergy including contact with other foods (I find this communicates the severity better than saying celiac or intolerance). She said that was fine. I asked for clarification on what I couldn’t eat since she didn’t offer information - only the Lao menu was not gf. EVERYTHING on the Thai menu was gf! (Everything available vegan as well.) I couldn’t believe how many options I had! She acknowledged the cross contact as well. I don’t usually press further on kitchen set up. I didn’t clarify in all Lao and Thai foods are prepared safely. (I reserve 5 stars for dedicated gf spots) Also super lgbtq friendly!
