Really kind owner and staff who sincerely try their best to accomodate. Tasty and affordable food. Might not recommend for gluten allergies, but I'm insanely gluten intolerant and have never had an issue here.

UPDATE PT.2: After complaining, the owner sent me an email and we talked about what might have happened. There seems to be a disconnect from if you order on their website vs. if you call in the order or eat in. The ticket they got in the kitchen did not reflect what I selected on the website. They were extremely apologetic and I could be willing to try again if I could eat in or call in a takeout order. UPDATE: Visited on 04/12 they got my order wrong for take out and my celiac sister and I both ate it before we realised the mistake. Don't feel safe ordering take out here. The actual place is not that luxurious, but clean and good service. The food was amazing! Gf marked right on the menu and no reactions later. I had the Mongolian chicken and my dad had their chicken teriyaki. Both were excellent.

The food was excellent and almost everything can be made GF. We had the spicy chicken, orange chicken & lo mein. I was worried based on previous reviews but we had no issues.

Got glutened and was up all night violently sick. It didn’t even taste good. Meals were marked GF even on our Togo boxes but obviously either wasn’t or highly cross-contaminated. Don’t risk it 😭.

Literally worst reaction I've ever had to gluten at a supposedly gluten free aware restaurant. I got violently ill after eating this. Such a disappointment since it seemed like it was so good for gluten free people

Updating a previous review. We have ordered from here a few times with no reaction. But this last time I knew within 30 mins after eating something was not right, pretty sure one of the gf items had gluten or was misread as the gluten version. Very sad to cross this place off our safe to eat restaurant list.

They have GF items marked and I haven't had any reaciton. But the food is abysmal. I have had a few things and other than fried rice everything tasted bad.

Got glutened. I asked for the gluten free option of the entree. My lunchmate is also gluten intolerant but not as committed to avoiding it and they ordered a GF entree and a app which was not GF. The server was confused and asked them to confirm they understood it was not GF. My lunchmate explained that she tries to avoid it but not entirely and sometimes chooses to have gluten. I quickly jumped in to explain that I on the other hand am strictly gluten free and need the GF option. The server was visibly annoyed and while I get it, my lunchmates logic is frustrating (we've had lots of conversations) it doesn't mean that the server should ignore the GF requests... which either she did or communicated it to the kitchen because sure enough, I got the tell-tale killer headache that signals the start my gluten reactions not long after and the next couple days sucked.

I won't go back, but even so the food was good, but not great, and the place could use some love and I updating.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

Really delightful, yummy, safe cuisine. Many choices clearly marked gf on menu. We enjoyed Garlic Chicken (with fresh veggies), Orange Chicken (gf option at a small additional charge) and gf Fresh Spring Rolls. Chinnie, the owner and chef, quickly made up fresh peanut sauce, as theirs had run out. Their house tea was a nice loose-leaf Jasmine. Excellent service, very knowledgeable server. Unexpected treasure in a strip mall.

I ordered GF orange chicken. Very good and crispy. Does not come with rice. Sauce was very thick and sweet with some heat. The rice was needed. I would definitely order again. My husband order the crispy beef (he eats gluten) and liked mine better! Service was good and Chinnie took the time to help explain the dishes.

I absolutely loved this place! The chef came out and told me everything they could make for me gf and not! It was a difficult process but they were so supportive and understanding. The food was a 10/10 and the flavor was amazing. I haven’t had Chinese food in 3 years being gf and this place deserves every bit of service! We loved it! Did not get sick after eating either 🥰

I've been coming to this place to or a few years now with no negative reaction. The staff are super nice and knowledgeable about gluten free items. I've emailed about specifics like GF soy sauce and they replied that same day about how they use GF soy sauce when you tell them you need GF. Many items on their menu are labeled as 'GF option available'. They even made me GF fried rice without egg( egg intolerance) , and it was yummy with no negative reactions. I always let them know I need GF because of my Celiacs and they mark it as such. Now they know me by name! Try the Mongolian beef, so yummy.Now
