Had the sweet and sour chicken and it was delicious! I’m a super sensitive celiac and I did not get sick. I’ll be going back. Great service!

Great Staff. Several items are GF on Menu or can be made GF with changes when you ask. Separate fryer dedicated for GF. Sweet and Sour Chicken batter made with rice flour!! Amazing!! GF Chicken Lo Mein is our favorite. Staff are very knowledgeable in reference to Celiac.

I used to love Antai before I was diagnosed. Unfortunately, I’ve gotten sick every time I’m eaten here since removing gluten and being aware of the allergy. I’ve ordered the gluten-free options but doesn’t seem to matter.

Want to like this place as there’s seemingly not many good Asian cuisine options around. Unfortunately, my family has been glutened every time we have eaten here. Very careful to order items marked GF and of course communicate our allergy concerns with the waitress(es). Doesn’t seem to matter as we all get sick here

Online ordering is very clear and Items are clearly marked on to-go containers. Have eaten here more than a dozen times with no issues. When we order gluten containing items (for my husband) they make sure to verbally remind us what is not gluten free bc they notice the GF requests on the order. Highly highly recommend.

We were just in town visiting, I hardly ever eat out because of my celiacs disease, but saw the wonderful reviews and thought we'd give this a try. It's been years since I've had Chinese food, and their general tso's chicken, they make gluten-free, and it was absolutely delicious! My husband ate also and said he didn't know it was gluten free. I waited a day before I made this review making sure, but I had no reaction at all. Yay! I wish we lived here so we could eat here all the time!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There are so many great options at Antai for those who need GF options like myself! I was very pleased with the amount of choices! My dinner was very good!

Staff is very knowledgeable and careful! This place is heaven sent! Most delicious Chinese food and sushi! We eat here weekly. Mongolian beef, general tso, fried rice and gluten free lo mein are our go-to dishes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good food and felt safe eating here. Server provided tamari sauce for my use with my shrimp, veggies, and rice. Lots of food! Very friendly staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I made a reservation for a party of 8 and asked about dairy free and gluten options prior to the night we were going to the restaurant via Facebook messenger. They responded quickly and gave suggestions and advised that the server would be able to help. Chris was our server and he answered all my questions and made sure I had gluten free soy sauce and checked on something I had a question on. When my food was brought out there was a question about the sauce that was used. They took it back to the kitchen just to be on the safe side and fixed an entire new dish quickly. They offered the old dish to anyone at my table free of charge so they wouldn't have to throw food away. The food was delicious and no stomach issues!!! I will definitely be going back!!

They know their stuff and the food is AMAZING!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was fantastic! They don’t have a separate GF menu because nearly everything can be prepared GF. The server was very knowledgeable about what items could not be modified because they either contained non GF noodles or meats that were marinated in regular soy sauce. We were just passing through town, wish this place was in our hometown!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My daughter and I both have Celiac disease. Staff was educated regarding gluten free needs and the food was outstanding!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent experience. Server was knowledgeable. Food great. Gluten free fried rice!!

I have Celiac and eat here all the time and have never had an issue. The food is wonderful and the staff is great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was delicious. I was so excited to see that they offered gluten free soy sauce.

My daughter has Celiac disease and we have eaten here several times without an issue. My wife and I both grilled the staff before ordering and found them to be very knowledgeable and attentive. We have been to other restaurants where they say they understand then the entree comes out with a roll on top, not the case here. They even thought to make our to go orders and place her gluten free order in a seperate bag.

This restaurant was very knowledgeable about gluten free needs and as a result, my family had sesame chicken for the first time in years! Delicious!!! We tried different dishes and they were great! Looking forward to going back and trying other dishes too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food and great service to match!

So happy to find this restaurant! My husband has Celiac and has not had a problem here. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. No matter where we eat, we always stress gluten free is a must, not a choice. lots of menu choices and they will tell you if it can't be made gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very accommodating and great selection! I agree with the previous reviewer that they can do almost anything gluten-free. I had delicious sesame chicken, and they even made the side veggie fried rice gluten-free since they weren't busy. I tend to be very sensitive to gluten, and I had absolutely no pain afterward! I will definitely go again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable about gluten. Advised on items that could be made gluten free that were not already pre-made. New favorite place!!!!! When you are Celiac, it's hard to find new places and this one is fantastic!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Every server I have had has been very accommodating and educated on gluten. They carry a gluten free soy sauce and can make most things gluten free, except for some things that are pre-made, the seaweed salad for example. By far my go- to place.

Totally got glutened tonight. Carefully asked server about grilled salmon salad-was told it had gluten in the sauce but could be made without it. Asked what was on the salad and was told veggies and lettuce. Salad came to the table and I started eating fish and found noodles under it. I asked waitress if they were gf- she asked in the kitchen and said they weren't. I told her I needed the salad remade, not the noodles just removed. She came back with another salad but it looked like same piece of fish. My stomach is so swollen now and could be mistaken to be 9 months pregnant with diarrhea. I am so disappointed I could cry. I have a race tomorrow and feel and look horrible!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Very accommodating and excellent food!

Antai is by far the most accommodating GF restaurant in Lexington. The owners and wait staff are always happy to prepare dishes to my specifications and in clean pans. Of course your running a bit of a risk with the kitchen not being completely GF but I have not had an issue yet.

They are knowledeable and helpfull of people with allergies, and have the best asian cuisine ever!
