Just had their Pad Thai with shrimp with no problems! Gluten free items are marked on the menu. Just make sure to request soft tofu (steamed).

I can’t say anything about the food. Apparently, they are closed on Saturdays. Although, I saw people inside. Maybe only pick-up. Anyway, if you’re looking for atmosphere, this is not your place. It looks like a dump.

Pearl herself is very knowledgeable about celiac and her kitchen staff is pretty good about it. One of the servers doesn’t know as much, but she will verify. I ordered a meal that was marked GF/GFO on the menu and noted that I’m celiac. It came out with a crispy spring roll. The person I was with was really excited that I could have a ‘gluten free crispy spring roll’, but I knew better. I verified my noodles were at least gluten free (yes) but the spring roll was not. Thankfully it was at the edge of my plate and easy to scrape off. So, go in knowing there are GF options but that you also need to watch for yourself because sometimes the kitchen staff is on a routine and forgets while playing.

Our to-go order was messed up twice. The food did not get us sick but it lacks flavor. Maybe they just remove the gluten and do not replace the flavor…

This place is very good at gluten free but their food lacks flavor. I guess it’s either this or get glutened, right?

My wife and I eat here all the time. I have celiac and have never had an issue with their food. They are knowledgeable about gluten (however I still remind them no fried tofu, only a steamed). The menu labels which dishes are gluten free or can be made gluten free. Our favorites dishes are the mango curry, pineapple fried rice, pad Thai, massuman curry, mango sticky rice and Thai iced tea.

Very happy I finally visited this place. All the curries are GF and they prepare them all with clean utensils anyway. The food was outstanding! The waitress was very familiar with celiac disease and said they have lots of celiac customers. I hadn’t had Thai food in years!! Such a treat!

Every dish is made in a new pan, so virtually no risk there of cross contamination. Let them know about my allergy and they were aware and I’ve never gotten sick. Most of it is gluten free anyways which minimizes risk. And it’s delicious!

Some menu items are marked gluten free, others are marked gluten free upon request. So many good choices, and the food was delicious.

I've had the red curry and the chicken pad Thai. Did NOT get sick either time. They are fast and super nice about the gluten free and even dairy free request. My gluten / dairy loving coworkers also loved this place!! I've already been back twice and I'll be back next time I'm in town for work. thank you!!

We have eaten here a few times now with my 7 year old who has celiac disease. She loves the food and has not gotten sick. The staff is very kind and conscientious to our dietary needs. As a bonus the food is great!

This is a warm, family-run restaurant with excellent food. Very fresh, quality ingredients. The staff is aware of gluten free needs and the kitchen can modify certain dishes by using gluten free soy sauce. Recommended.
