I will be dreaming about my pineapple curry with steamed mahi mahi and veggies until the end of time. Best Thai I’ve ever had and was such a friendly, safe spot to eat for lunch.

Staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and most of their menu can be made gluten free when asked. The yellow curry was delicious and my daughter enjoyed it.

This was delicious! I had the spicy chicken fried rice with medium heat and it was delicious and I had no reaction! They took precautions and have a separate gluten free menu.

They have a GF menu. The waite staff is very knowledgeable about their menu and what can be done to make more of their dishes GF. All of their Curries are GF, as is most of their other items. We had the fresh roll, not listed as GF, but our waitress knew the issue was the sauce, so she suggested two other GF sauces, yummy. Going back again soon.

This place is amazing. Not only is it safe for celiacs, but the food tastes fresh and great, and the employees are all friendly and super helpful. Upon arrival, I informed our server that I had celiac, and he immediately understood the cross contamination protocols and provided me with a GF menu, which had great options. I ordered the fresh rolls, the spicy noodles (no egg for me!) and shared the garlic beef with broccoli with my spouse, and it was devine. (the fried garlic on the beef is life, and I'm craving it right now...*drool*). If I lived in the area, I'd eat here weekly...

Amazing service and great food! Their gluten free menu has lots of great options. The staff is very knowledgeable about what is or is not gluten free, as well as super kind. This was my first time going out to eat since being diagnosed. I have been scared to go out to eat since I have been feeling so much better and was worried about getting sick, but I can report that I did not have any reactions to the food I ate tonight! Absolutely would recommend to anyone! Will be back. 10/10

I have celiac but also a severe gluten allergy (Ana) and I NEVER feel safe anywhere that isn’t dedicated. I decided to take a leap of faith and I’m so glad I did because it was delicious, that atmosphere was great and the staff was all alerted and got new everything to make my meal. I can’t sing enough praises for this place and will definitely go back.

Separate gluten free menu (ask for it), staff is accommodating and knowledgeable regarding cross contamination (cc), kitchen has clear cc protocols. Ordered the edamame, cucumber salad, pineapple curry, pad thai and mango sticky rice. All dishes were very fresh, tasty, aromatic and most importantly - delicious. Would absolutely recommend and looking forward to coming again next time I'm in the area.

I rarely give 5 stars. Food was good, not great. We had take out so no wait service experience. I didn't feel sick after and my husband was confident they understand gluten free. He shared it was a nice interior and nice patio. We would go back.
