This, like many Thai takeout places, is a safe, but *proceed with caution* restaurant. It is not a dedicated gluten free facility and the kitchen is small. As someone with celiac disease, this means you should strategically order the items that will be cooked in their own pot or area by virtue of cooking tradition. Here are my go-to items that I have never gotten sick from:

1. PAD THAI (the safest of safest options) 2. Curries (any of the Thai curries are safe. But call ahead to double check) 3. Soups (like curries, call ahead but usually the soups are safe!! And again cooked in their soup only pot).

I would not venture much past these options. I would not get sushi or sushi bowl here. But the place is a hidden gem and the taste is amazing - 10/10.

Go the tuna and salmon rolls, both really good and they provided packets of gluten free soy sauce. Ordered a side of what was supposed to be eel sashimi, but it came out with an eel sauce that I was initially told was gluten free, but when I asked another employee to check with the chef I was told it was not. Luckily I didn’t eat it and they brought out another option, but fair warning that some of the employees may not know what they are talking about.

The gluten free items aren’t explicitly listed but if you call them they will tell you that they can do most of the menu gluten free!

Their menu mentions gluten free options. I’ve ordered the Pad Thai multiple times and do not seem to have had any reactions. Also had the mango and sticky rice dessert which is very good.
