This place did not disappoint. The waiter was knowledgeable and brought out GF soy sauce. I got a sushi role and the masaman curry. The sushi was good, nothing exceptional. The curry was amazing and worth the trip. I had no reaction luckily and would definitely recommend this place.

Really disappointed after having heard such great things. The server seemed annoyed by any requests. I asked for GF soy sauce and she brought a handful of packets from Pei Wei, a chain restaurant. I ordered nigiri salmon and yellowtail plus a vegetable roll. The salmon was ok, not great, and the yellowtail was super fishy… I ended up sending it back. I don’t think I’ll be going here again.

They had a separate menu for vegetarian or GF items. A longer list than I anticipated based on other reviews. The regular menu also noted "GF" on items that could be GF. We ordered chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer and they brought a GF sauce on the side without our request (and the regular one on the side for the gluten eater). I had the pad Thai for main course. Thai iced tea to drink. All were very typical of what I've eaten at other restaurants (outside Thailand of course!) and I didn't experience a reaction. Host and waitress were both knowledgeable of offerings. Appreciated that waitress reiterated GF when serving meal.

I told them I was gluten free and also allergic to fish. My vegetarian sushi rolls had fish eggs all over them. This has happened to me twice and now I’m sad to have to give up eating here. It’s just not safe to eat here. The server told me they didn’t change gloves to make my sushi rolls and that’s why there were fish eggs. If I told them I had allergies and needed gluten free why would they admit to not changing gloves? Not impressed. Not worth the risk eating here

Lots of choices, staff was knowledgeable about gluten free options. We had sushi and a couple different curries. So good, we have now made this one of our stops in St. George.

I had a Philadelphia roll...the only thing on the current menu listed as gf. It was very good! I’m guessing they have other gf items not during pandemic.

I’m for better or worse asymptomatic Celiac. I’ve eaten here many times. Given I don’t have symptoms (just destroyed small intestine), I’ve been trying to Nima sensor more often. I was so sad to test positive for gluten on the GF green curry and the GF drunken noodles. We called and informed the restaurant. This is during the pandemic, now only curb side pick-up. Perhaps cross contamination protocols aren’t so followed in the current climate?

Ate here the other day based on decent reviews... I ordered very specifically gluten free items, and asked if a rainbow roll could be made gluten free with shrimp instead of imitation crab. I was told this would be ok. After I was done eating, the waitress asked me if everything was ok "because the kitchen was confused" when she gave them my order. I wish I had known before I ate the food! Sure enough, I was sick the next day.

I love their GF Pad Thai but make sure there is no tofu in it. Once before the waitress told me that and today I picked up a Togo order and there was tofu. So be careful, I’m glad I checked before I left. Other then that love it here, would recommend!

We have eaten here safely several times now. Delicious curries!! Not too many menu options aside from curry and gf sushi (which is not listed on menu as gf- but can be prepared so by special request)- but curries are wonderful and flavorful and hit the spot for us!

The menu had many items marked as Gluten Free. I noticed that none of the sushi and sashimi was, so I asked about it. Many of those items are safe, or can have substitutions (no krab), if you ask. The waitress was familiar with what was ok, and what wasn't. And the red curry had wonderful flavor, though it didn't seem that spicy to me (it would have to most people, probably).
