This place is NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY. I went there several times based on the good reviews from this app and ended up getting sick.

Yes, in theory, Pho is gluten free, but here THEY COOK THEIR RICE NOODLES IN THE SAME WATER AS WHEAT NOODLES. That’s what was making me sick.

I got this info from one of the owners the last time I was there. Actual celiac friendly items on the menu are sparse.

I didn't actually order from here, but the person I called was confident that the noodle options at least were not safe from cross contact. They seem to use the same equipment for wheat and gluten free noodles. There's some chance the rice dishes are safe, but I wasn't willing to risk it.

The owner came to my table, let me know what was gluten free and told what was in their pho. I had the beef pho and it was amazing. Definitely going back

No dedicated gf menu, but the servers and staff are great about noting what is gf and making sure it happens (no reactions in over 6 visits). Their pho is awesome, but make sure you try the spring rolls (ask for the gf chili sauce)!

Yes, this restaurant has a good sense of humor about their name. Located on the non-touristy side of Auburn - and well worth a visit.While they do not have a GF menu, our servers were quite knowledgable about gluten. Most of the Pho's are GF (rice vermicelli), as are the Spring Rolls (in rice paper). Many of the stir-fried dishes are made with soy sauce, hoisin or oyster sauce, so they are not GF - but others are done with fish sauce (GF) only. They are happy to answer any questions in detail about ingredients - and I did get the impression that they would work with you on other dishes, if Pho isn't your thing.Some of the best beef Pho I've ever had, GF or no.
