Lots of delicious gluten free options and knowledgeable staff
I had a good experience here!! Cross contamination from celiac unfortunately limited my options more than just “gluten free” but the waiter was knowledgeable and the food was delish
Somewhat annoyed that the menu isn't clearer. Anything marked GF that is prepared in a wok has cross contact with gluten-items, so it's not actually GF. Our table ordered a bunch of items, and server checked a separate list to let me know what I could have. What I had was delicious (crudo and a salmon dish) the rest of the table enjoyed their food their food as well.

Delicious food! Menu is clearly marked and tons of Gf options. No reaction!
So good I’m literally speechless! Variety of gluten free options can’t be beat. I really can’t wait for my next visit
The wok-prepared dishes are delicious and I’ve never gotten sick (drunken noodles, basil fried rice). A lot of their menu that is marked GF is made in a shared fryer (cross contaminated). Our waiter flagged that for us immediately, so the staff and kitchen understand cross contamination, but always annoying.
The staff informed me that all items listed as "GF" (which they call gluten friendly) are cross contaminated (same fryer, same oil). I left without eating. Recommend folks stay away.
The drunken noodles were AMAZING! I haven’t had wide noodles in a long time, and the vegetables tasted so fresh.
The staff was knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination but all of the “gluten friendly” fried items were in a shared fryer. The rice noodle were prepared in a wok and so far (next morning) I haven’t had any symptoms of cross contamination. The food was amazing but definitely a bit disappointed by the shared fryer with a gluten friendly label. If you have celiac definitely be careful and double check with staff.
Love this place!! The fresh (naturally gf) rice noodle dishes are fantastic. So are the cocktails. Only reason I’m giving it 4 safety stars instead of 5 is because I don’t know what their specific cross-contamination policies are.
Great Thai spot with cool vibes + in a great area. Menu was marked, and the waitress was able to tell me about what would be affected by cross contamination. Some of the best drunken noodles I’ve ever had!
Stopped by impulsively and had the drunken noodles after getting the server to double check that the soy sauce used was GF. It was delicious and no ill effects! I can’t speak to the fried menu items but the noodles did me right 😊
I don't know what happened the night I was there, but it was a mess. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel pretty comfortable when ordering. My first dish came out with the largest sticks of bread in them I'd ever seen. Then to apologize the chef sent out some sort of bun, also not gluten free. Maybe it was a fluke, but won't ever be going back.
The staff was super knowledgeable and able to answer all questions I had. They only use gluten free soy sauce so there were a lot of safe options!
I’ve ordered takeout and delivery from Doi Moi and their food is awesome! Favorite Thai place that accommodates gluten free in DC.
I highly recommend the Drunken Noodles (thick rice doodles with verges) and Crispy Brussels Sprouts. The pho is good too. Definitely will be ordering these three items again.
We also tried the bo lu lac (Shaken Beef) that was good but wouldn’t order it again.
Definitely worth checking it out if you’re looking for some solid Thai food.
Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free, including cross contamination, and the menu was well marked and easy to understand. Food was delicious too.
Delicious! They label what on the menu is gluten free, vegan and vegetarian. Probably a safe bet for many dietary restrictions. Get the short rib curry if you like spice.
Delicious food! The staff were really helpful, and they knew which things were gluten free well (this was also marked on the menu). They have no gluten in their fryer, so we got to have a fried Pork and lemongrass thingy, which was really good. They also had great sticky rice and spicy peanuts.
Staff were knowledgeable and there were lots of good selections for someone with celiac. I enjoyed my dinner both during and after.
Our server Sascha was wonderful at making me feel comfortable. He assured me they have separate fryers and was very understanding about my concerns since I have celiac. Good food too!
