I’ve eaten here 4 times in the past year and have had good experiences each time with knowledgeable servers. I am a sensitive celiac so I worry about cross contamination, especially at chain restaurants, but after ordering from their separate gf menu, which is somewhat limited since I can’t eat spicy foods, I’ve never been sick. The food is served on separately styled plates so it’s easy to see which ones are gf when eating “family style” and sharing dishes. I’m not sure how safe their hot tea is but I didn’t order it after being told that they weren’t sure if the tea was gf ( many teas at restaurants serving Asian food apparently have added barley.) All in all I’ve had very good experiences here, have ordered several dishes, found knowledgeable staff and would highly recommend this restaurant.

I was looking for that crunchy sesame chicken basic Chinese chicken gluten free everywhere. Even tried to make it :( didn't work. They have it at PF Changs though! And I didn't have to worry about fishy service. Many gf Options and they will ask you if it is an allergy. Also yum that chocolate gf cake :))

The server told me they have a dedicated gluten free line in the kitchen. The gluten free food is served on plates that are a different color from non-gluten-free food for easy identification. When I order take out, the gluten-free items are labeled with stickers. And the food is amazing!

Always a good option for a safe gf meal. They have a gluten free area of the kitchen where gf food is cooked separately and comes on special plates so you know it was prepared correctly. Not tons of options but the Changs Spicy chicken and fried rice are solid. The egg drop soup is great too!

I ordered the dinner for 2 and phoned in advance to verify they could switch out the soup for the gluten free option ( egg drop soup). They did no problem, no extra charge and also verified the food was prepped with seperate pans, work area and used gluten free soy sauce. The take out order dishes were also labeled with bright orange gluten free stickers. The day after eating my celiac husband felt fine. No cross contamination! Good quality chinese good with fresh ingredients.

Used to go here a lot pre pandemic but had not been in some time due to other options I can’t get at home. Wanted something fast so got an order to go. Was ready in 12 mins! Safe and marked gf. Be sure to ask for packets of gf soy sauce.
