Wild Ginger

Wow, so I both feel like I should have looked it up on here before eating but also glad I didn’t because I had a fantastic experience. I went with a group of 6 coworkers, and I knew from the menu having GF markings I could have some items but I let the Waiter know I was celiac anyway, and he was very knowledgeable and said he could bring me gf soy sauce or tamari they had both and can make most dishes gf. I didn’t want to spoil the rest of the group’s choices so I opted to get my own entree and let them share family style. When we ordered, he came over to me and quietly let me know that of the 7 entrees and 4 appetizers we ordered he could make all gf except for the beef skewers, and was very respectful and discreet and I let the table know and asked if that’s okay, and he said the taste won’t change much as it’s mainly gf soy sauce that will be used in place of regular and everyone was fine with it. He put the skewers at the oppose end of the table and quietly reminded me that it’s the one I shouldn’t have. And went over each item as he put them out, and even mentioned to the table guests to not mix the serving utensils. I was fall on my ass impressed and thankful. We all ate family style and I loved all of it! And the best part is I didn’t get glutenned!! Thank you!

My partner and I made 2 orders within 2 months from Wild Ginger Makenzie. As long time customers of the downtown location, we trusted them that the items marked gluten free were made without gluten based on our experience with the downtown location.

The first order was tasty, complete and prompted no ill reaction. However the second time we ordered the same items and I became violently ill. I do not react strongly to minor cross contamination.

They have gluten free items called out in menu but lots of opportunity for cross contamination. The items labeled gf (e.g. satay bar) are cooked on the same grill that non gf items are cooked on. My “chicken 65” dish was labeled gf but tested positive for gluten. They use the same woks to cook both gf and non gf food. They state they clean them in between uses but that might have been the source of contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

I got Phad Thai as some else suggested which was great as far as celiac but chicken was so dull (my 8 year old loved it:), noodles were very good!. I left all these notes on the order saying I was celiac and they called me to clarify some things, so nice! I also got fresh rolls and really enjoyed their peanut sauce. Unfortunately, the black sticky rice got me though, I asked specifically if it was celiac safe and the said yes but I'm celiac symptoms. I had the black sticky rice one day later so feel sure it was just this that made me this happen. So sad!!

We got takeout and we ordered a few gf curries (marked on menu) explained about celiac and cross contamination and they said it was ok. However when we came to pick up 20 minutes later none of the food was made because while the curries are gf the sauces are pre-made so can’t be free of cross contamination. I ordered chicken pad Thai instead which was pretty meh. The non-celiac people in my group felt lukewarm on their order too. But I didn’t get sick so there’s that. Just definitely confirm what’s safe for celiacs vs what’s marked gf on the menu.

I was there for a work dinner. The food was pre-selected, so I don't know if there is a separate GF menu or if GF items are marked on the menu. Our servers were very helpful and let me know which dishes for our group were GF. Several were and they all were very tasty. I did not get sick.
