Zao Asian Cafe

Ordered 4 meals for curbside pick-up and two of the 4 were very messed up. Being celiac and opening up my meal to see crispy onions was heartbreaking. My husbands soup had no meat in it. We were celebrating a birthday and couldn’t even eat as a family.

Not celiac friendly I’ve gotten sick every time I go, definitely not giving them another chance.

I have gone to this particular location dozens of times. They are always willing to change their gloves. When I mention I have CD, they ask the next employee in line to change their gloves as well. Luckily, there isn’t a lot of gluten, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to go since I am very sensitive. Their bowls with chicken and teriyaki are my go to!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love the food here. They have rice noodles that are done correctly and naturally sweetened drinks.

Lots of GF options. Nice healthy choices including vegan, as well as gf chicken.

Tasted great and my meal was entirely gluten free!

The only thing not GF is the fried onions. If you let the staff know you need GF at this location they take extra precautions.
