Some very solid gluten free options, and the drinks were on point. A member of our party is vegetarian and we tried to order gluten free tofu larb as a shared starter. We were assured the food was safe for Celiac, but the tofu definitely looked fried. Before eating any of it I confirmed that the tofu is fried in a shared fryer.

I had the spring rolls and roasted pork belly with sticky rice. All in all the meal was fantastic! But be extra careful with anything fried - there is no dedicated GF fryer.

They had a few gluten free items on the menu but not as many as expected. You can get pad thai, Tom ka, and curry - we got all three and they were good, best was the soup.

Make a reservation. A lot of GF menu options - appetizers, small plates, and entrees. Service was slow, especially from the bar, but food and beverages were very tasty.

The pad Thai had pork in it that I did not order, in addition to the tofu that I did order. It was weird and offputting as I wasn't expecting random meat in my food!

Got the Penang curry which strangely had no veggies in it, just shrimp in curry sauce. It was tasty enough though, and I felt ok after. They seemed used to accommodating gluten free

Loved this place before my diagnosis and am grateful I can still go. Although their best dish (khao soi) is a no go, there’s plenty else to choose from and it’s all tasty.

Bonne expérience, bon accueil. Les plats disponibles sans gluten sont identifiés et nombreux. Les plats sont délicieux. A noter pour les amateurs que la plupart des plats sont tout de même un peu (voire beaucoup) épicés 😅

Alright Team! Had some spring rolls and tofu pad tai. I have celiac and I am extremely sensitive. Any amounts of gluten kills me over. I am feeling great and loved my meal. This place is safe and a keeper!!!!! Highly recommend it.

The service here was fantastic! The pad see ew wasnt marked as gluten free on the menu, but i asked for it to be made with gluten free soy sauce and he brought out a picture of the ingredients for me to verify. The food was delicious, I also got the Tom Ka Gai which was very good. The staff was fast, kind, and accommodating. I would fully recommend coming here! The table was also sanitized, the staff was wearing masks, and certain tables were blocked off for social distancing.

Had the flank steak...it was delicious! Perfectly cooked and the rice came out in a separate covered bowl to keep warm. The Thai salad was excellent and I had the spicy sauce which was very flavorful. First time in DC...excellent stop for some good Thai food. GF options clearly marked on menu and verified with waitress prior to order. Will be back when in DC again!
