I'm vegetarian, and I was told the only gluten free, vegetarian option was veggie sushi. The sushi was fine and service was nice, but a disappointing experience overall.

we booked here because of all the positive reviews but if you’re sensitive to cross contamination it’s not ok. The waiter would only let me order sushi. Was pretty sad tbh could have booked lots of other places

Excellent Cantonese style Chinese food, and a good number of GF options. I ordered the Tangerine Chicken and was not disappointed. Our waiter (Fancy) was wonderful and provided some great suggestions.

Servers were very nice and knowledgeable. There was a large selection. The hot pot format means you likely want the whole table gluten-free to avoid cross contamination.

they were great! very aware of possible cross contamination with the hot pot and made it obvious that they were knowledge about it. they were able to make some beef chow foon with gf soy sauce and rice noodles (even though it wasn’t labeled gf on the menu) and had to change their normal beef for the hot pot beef since they normally marinate the chow foon beef in eggs (im also allergic to eggs)! only complaint is that the broths are all labeled gf but they said i should avoid it since some of the pastes used have gluten and didn’t want there to be any risk of cross contamination for me

They recently updated a lot of the menu to make it have a lot more gluten free options. There were already so many before but now the chili oil, BBQ sauce dip, and every broth is gluten free. Would still ask to confirm, but it's one of my favorite places to eat!

I spent one night in Boston and miss Chinese food so much! I wasn’t sure how I felt about online ordering with my allergies so I called in my takeout order and the staff was so knowledgeable and made sure everything was gluten free. I miss chow mein and they were able to make it for me with rice noodles and gluten free sauces. I seriously couldn’t believe it was gluten free, it was so good. I really wish I had an option like The Q where I live.

This place is incredible! Most of the menu can be made GF. I had the Kung Pao chicken and it was delicious. No issues at all and I am extremely reactive to any cross contamination with soy sauce. My non-GF hubby said the Dan Dan noodles were the best he’s ever had, so something for everyone!

This is the safest and most comfortable I've ever felt at a restaurant (besides a dedicated place). Waiter was able to mark up the menu on what to as gf. Tons of stuff I as naturally gluten free anyways. He brought my whole table gluten free soy sauce dipping bowls!! He was clearly knowledgeable. He was very nice and I didn't feel awkward and weird like usual.

We were able to be accommodated at this restaurant. We were traveling with a child with celiac and a child with nut allergies. The wait staff was very helpful. He double checked with the kitchen before we looked over the menu and chose. We had our first Hot Pot experience and we were all able to enjoy a fabulous and safe dining experience after his suggestions. I would recommend!

I went here for the first time and it was very good! The server knew about celiac and marked the menu which broths can be made gf. They also have gf rice noodles. The veggies and meats are naturally gf. I recommend the tomato broth it was so flavorful. We chose a veggie platter option and it came with fried tofu, I asked the server is this gf and he said no it’s not I’m sorry about that and took it away (a little concerning good catch on my part). He brought my friend and I GF soy sauce without us asking. Was super fun doing hot pot and didn’t get sick! Will be back

I came here for a work lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the wait staff. I mentioned I had celiac and asked if they could help me identify GF items. They had so many GF sushi rolls and they said almost any other item on the menu can be made GF too. The kitchen took precautions for cross contamination and they confirmed in a reassuring way I would be safe to eat. I ended up getting beef and broccoli and it was lovely to say the least.

Even the broths not marked gf can be made gf if you ask (like the vegetarian ones.) Rice noodles and lots of gf options. If you’re doing a split pot with someone I recommend you both get gf because they come in the same bowl (split in half).

My server was really helpful with my celiac questions and they also had a celiac server working. The food was delicious but it is quite difficult to control cross contamination unless you’re eating with somebody else happy to enjoy gluten free options with you. We had the Mongolian hotpot. Totally overwhelming at first to figure it out, but once we managed to order the experience was great. The food was delicious! I did have minor stomach cramp after, possibly because my partner had a non gluten-free version of the broth right next to mine and there was some splashing of the broth! Hence my comment about eating with somebody that will also honor your gluten free choices. A good choice however. I’d eat there again, I’d just make sure that nobody ordered broth with gluten next to me!

Our waiter was knowledgeable and even mentioned that someone on the staff had celiac. We ordered hot pot and they brought out something without emitting the gluten item. The waiter immediately flagged it and assured me they’d make a brand new order to ensure no cross contamination.

Great lunch. I was worried when this place was suggested, but after reading the reviews on here, I gave it a shot. The menu, scan on your phone, was clearly marked for GF. To make it even better, our server’s girlfriend had celiac so he was able to confirm everything was safe. He even gave everyone else Tamari to dip, so no contamination in the broth from chopsticks. We chose a split pot with mala (spicy) on one side and chicken broth on the other. Variety of meat, fish and veg to cook as well as some rice noodles. Everyone had a great time. If you have a larger group, consider two pots. The burners for the bigger tables are on the ends, so we had to push down and reach over each other. For 4 of less, burners are centered.

Had a little bit of difficulty ordering in the beginning - kitchen staff assumed there was gluten in cornflour. However, they did solve it fast as there was a server with celiac disease who could help. Overall they did mark some items (especially the sushi) as gluten-free and they were very helpful. Also they have gluten-free soy sauce if you ask!

Had an absolutely fantastic experience! Our server was extremely knowledgeable and was able to advise me on what is and isn't celiac-safe (he has a family member with celiac, so I was very confident I'd be well taken care of!). The hot pot was stellar and absolutely delicious - will happily return in the future! Highly, highly recommend.

My husband and I went here at 10:20pm on a Tuesday night while we were in town and they we kind to sit us and let us know kitchen closed at 10:30 so we would need to decide quickly on what to order which made me nervous because a new restaurant for a Celiac is not a quick experience however the waitress was super patient and kind. There is a gluten free menu, and it seems that it had a lot of options. I stuck with the sushi, and got the salmon roll with avocado, the veggie roll and the shrimp roll. The waitress said the sushi rice was for sure gluten free after I inquired. I was brought gluten free soy sauce but was nervous because it came in the exact same dish as the gluten filled soy sauce my husband got and it was on the same tray...as much as I like to give people the benefit of the doubt that they would not mix it up I have learned that human error is always a possibility. I asked for the bottle of gluten free soy sauce and it was brought to me quickly and I was allowed to keep it until my meal was done! This gave me real peace of mind. I did find a red sauce and roe on a few pieces of my veggie roll... and at the sushi restaurant back in orlando they told me the roe is not GF so I was a bit weary about that and gave those to my husband. I didn’t get sick, everyone was super nice and I was happy with the experience. My husband looooooved the hot pot. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to try it...
