Celiac

I have not eaten here, but I did call to see if it was indeed a dedicated gluten free facility. It is not, they did say they can handle all dietary needs. I have celiac disease and am very choosy about eating out. I may try this place upon further research.

I live in the area and have eaten here many times with no problems. The Pad Thai is delicious and my ‘go to’ entree, but they are very accommodating and know how to safely make dishes GF.

We have had positive experiences ordering each time here. I am celiac, my children have pretty intense gluten intolerances and my husband eats gf most often...so when we order, it's a big order, all gf. Whoever has taken our order (phone or in person) has understood gf needs and taken it seriously. They have known what can be gf and if not, they take the time to ask. We have not had a negative experience with gf here. I only give 4 stars bc it's not a truly gf kitchen, although they seem to take every precaution. And the food is amazing!

Despite multiple assurances that many of their entrees food could be made gluten free, I found a wheat-based egg noodle at the bottom of my curry. While they did apologize, they only took that entree, not my entire meal, off the bill. So I guess you still pay for other food you can vomit up later?

Very accommodating to make dishes GF, some have flavor removed with this modification though. They now have GF soy sauce for the sushi.

Usually my go to until last week when they sent me home with sweet and sour chicken that was NOT gluten free, thankfully I know what it looks like and called... to which the girl who answered said “our sweet and sour is always gluten free” to which I asked to speak to a manager. He made it right but still would be cautious!

The only reliable GF in Wooster! They are great at accommodating multiple allergies, not just gluten and the staff goes the extra mile to ensure your order is right. While they don't have a dedicated GF kitchen ( who does outside Colorado?), you can actually see the steps they take through the open kitchen, we've never had any ataxia issues after eating there, which we do often while in town.

They don't have a gf menu, but they can make "almost anything on the menu gluten free." I had gan pan chicken (chicken not fried and I think they made my fried rice different than normal. They said the sauce was already gf. It was amazing.

This staff is incredible! They have gluten free everything, no joke. Even their tempura is modified with tapioca flour. Never experienced an Asian cuisine staff this knowledgable. They even have gluten free soy sauce. Everything has substitutes, definitely a must for Celiac individuals! Almost no effort needed to eat safely!
