Updating my review. The last couple of times I have ordered, there have been no problems with cross contamination. Refreshing change! So excited to have this back in the mix.

This was such a wonderful find. Loved the crab Rangoon and lemon chicken. Our waitress was knowledgeable and careful to not mix up anything my husband got with mine.

Huge portions for the price and they had many options. We will be going again.

DECEMBER 2024 UPDATE! After reading so many good reviews on the Kansas City gluten-free Facebook group page I decided to give Fortune Wok another try. It was excellent. They have recently added spring rolls and crab Rangoon! We tried the spring rolls which were very meat heavy with tiny bits of vegetables. I wish the content more vegetable heavy, but these were still really good. Next time we’ll try the crab Rangoon. We shared sesame shrimp and Mongolian beef. Would re-order either of these again. Highly recommend!

SUMMER 2023: Stopped for lunch at Fortune Wok and ordered Lemon Chicken, General Chicken and Sesame Shrimp from their GF menu. The shrimp was very good but the chicken was so chewy I suspect it was fried days before then topped with sauce to order. I had to stop eating because my teeth hurt! I'd order the shrimp again but not anything with fried chicken.

Literally one of my favorite restaurants of all time! I visit regularly, the food is always amazing and prepared safely. I’ve brought tons of non-gf friends and they’ve all loved it and returned by themselves later.

My favorite waitress is Min. She knows the ins-and-outs of everything in the kitchen and can make almost every dish into something safe for me to enjoy without sacrificing taste or flavor.

This place has been absolutely wonderful! It’s truly amazing how many items they offer on the menu—there’s something for everyone. I was especially excited to see they now have gluten-free crab Rangoon! It feels so refreshing to be able to go to a restaurant and have so many delicious options for my child to choose from. Thank you for making dining out such an enjoyable experience for families like ours. We’ll definitely be back!

Delicious! I haven't had crab rangoons since I was diagnosed. The plates are enough food for two so the prices are reasonable

Amazing experience. Finding a restaurant that is knowledgeable, safe, and tastes amazing is like finding a unicorn in your back yard. This restaurant is that unicorn. Delicious.

Never thought I’d have Chinese food again after going GF. But a friend took me here while I was visiting KC. The experience was great! Our server told me every time she put something on the table if I could eat it or if I should “stay away.” GF crab rangoon was great. Their GF menu says they wouldn’t recommend it to a sensitive celiac (which is why I would say 4 star safety rating), but I did not get sick & tried a lot! Sweet & sour chicken, steamed rice, edamame, fried chicken.

Gluten free crab Rangoon. Gluten free spring rolls, gf fried chicken wings… they can make many items not on the menu gluten free. It’s absolutely fantastic. I eat here all the time and haven’t ever had a reaction.

SO GOOD, and I didn’t get sick! They have a separate GF section listed on the menu, and it does say not for sensitive celiacs, however as a sensitive celiac I did not have any issues!

The server was knowledgeable and said they’d take precautions in the kitchen. We got the Mongolian beef and the sweet & sour chicken, both were delicious and huge portions.

There is a section of the menu specifically gluten free. There are additional items marked gluten free on the regular menu. It does say that cross contamination is possible. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't gluten free crab Rangoon or spring rolls.

This place is worth the 30min it takes to get there for some comfort gf breaded chicken type Chinese food. I do get a little cross contam sick maybe every 3rd time I go, but it’s tolerable and I miss Chinese food so 🤷🏻 I like to get the General Chicken

The first time I’ve been able to safely have gf Chinese food! Would have liked a few vegetarian options, but food was good and I didn’t get sick.

As I always say, I am an extremely sensitive Celiac. I have been here like 6 times, always tell them that I am Celiac and my food always comes out last and very thing separated. I have never had an issue here and 100% love it!

95% of the time my order is gluten free and I do not get sick. Most of the time if I do get sick it is from take out or delivery. Their sesame chicken gluten free is so good. The egg drop soup is naturally gluten free. And when ask for fried rice gluten free on delivery or take out they write a GF on the box so I know it was prepared properly. If you have a severe allergy like me, start out by eating inside the restaurant and then if you dare you can do take out or delivery.

My husband and I tried this based on reviews I was seeing on a FB forum for gluten free/Celiac. I had the Mongolian Beef and it was so good. Took half of it home and saving it for lunch. $15.99 for my dish. I would go back and try another dish. I have Celiac and am super sensitive. I didn't get sick. Been 2 days and feeling fine. If I would have read the reviews here I probably would not have even tried it. Sorry for those who have gotten sick. We went to the 135 & Nieman location.

Best GF restraunt food I have tried and I've tried a lot. The service is awesome, lots of choices. The husband even orders off the GF menu because it's better then original. finding this restraunt was a major win for me, I've missed Chinese food more then anything else since diagnosed Celiac (1yr 3months ). Never been contaminated! finally a restraunt who gets it!!!

I can't get enough of this place. I have never had a gluten related problem here. The General Tsos chicken is better than non GF. Egg drop soup I delicious and also, to my delight, contains chicken.
