I haven't eaten in a Chinese restaurant since I was diagnosed as Celiac. I was so excited to see that Peking Garden had a complete gluten-free menu. It's importantt to still tell the server that you are Celiac and they take it seriously. I came at lunch hour and they were able to modify the lunch hour special to be completely gluten free. I was in heaven: vegetable soup to start and then ginger chicken, stir fry veg and chicken fried rice. The best Chinese food and I was able to eat it. Two days later and I know I haven't been glutened. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Ordered taking from Peking Garden twice. They have an extensive online GF menu that makes ordering very easy. Enjoyed the pineapple chicken balls, Singapore noodles, beef black bean and spicy shredded pork with veggies. Highly recommend.

I have eaten from their gluten-free menu before without any issues. Unfortunately I got severely gluten Ted from our recent order on New Year’s Eve despite ordering from the gluten-free menu. They were extremely busy that night and I suspect that it was cross-contaminated. If we go back, it will not be on a busy night and I will ask many questions.

I love this place. Back when Calgary had the monthly celiac dinner club they would eat here. They have a dedicated gf fryer. Separate gf menu. Lots of tasty options. I totally trust them. Haven’t been sick from this place. Gf soya sauce too.

Daughter has a wheat intolerance an really missed Chinese. We were able to get some her favourites (ginger beef, s&p squid). While the rest if us can eat wheat we all ordered from the GF menu for a larger dinner selection. Everything tasted great, large portions so we took home lots for another meal. My daughter is not celiac so I can not vouch for that but she did not get her headache, stomach ache or skin reaction that she gets from exposure.

While they have a separate GF menu, we usually just order off their main menu and request GF and dairy-free. Prep time for take-out is usually around 20-30 minutes...or less. Favourites include prawns and asparagus in coconut milk, Singapore fried rice noodles, snap peas and broccoli in garlic sauce and salt & pepper squid or pork tenderloin.

I have been sick here numerous times. The last time we dined in they brought all the food to the table and then 10 minutes later came back to take the plate away as they brought us the wrong food that wasn’t gluten free! And they didn’t seem to think it was and issue. Stay clear if you are Celiac

I was really excited when I heard about the gluten-friendly Chinese food menu however I think it contains gluten. I felt sick after my first meal, and tried leftovers the next day hoping that I was wrong but felt terrible. The recommendation came from a friend who is also celiac and the staff on the phone sounds confident so I was really disappointed.

Our go to Chinese these days, they have a full gluten free menu and are super careful - my daughter has never been ‘glutened’ here and we eat here regularly.

Their sweet and sour and ginger beef are our go to dishes and really no different from good ones with gluten added

This place is phenomenal! The gluten free menu is extensive and the food is absolutely amazing. Visiting Calgary for a convention and I ate here twice. Zero reaction to their delicious food. This is hands down the best gluten free Chinese food I have had anywhere.

This has both gluten and GF Chinese food and the GF is better than any I remember before my diagnosis. Great pineapple, sweet and sour pork, fried rice, lemon chicken and even ginger beef. Dine in, take out and delivery. Never had a problem with cross contamination. Menu is the same but they label items that can be made GF.
