Yummy Vietnamese food with plenty of GF options. The menu on the website indicates allergens but the one in the restaurant does not. The waiter told me the things I could eat, which was basically all of the soup based dishes, egg rolls and spring rolls (but to avoid the spring rolls with marinated meat). The egg rolls are not fried with anything containing gluten. Would definitely return!
Amazing pho. Our actual server wasn’t sure about gluten and double checked with the kitchen but then another staff member came to our table and we chatted for awhile about what is and isn’t gf on the menu in *great* detail. The irl menu doesn’t list items that are GF but the website does (along with all other allergens). Apparently the chef has two major allergies and has made it clear online to navigate for people with dietary restrictions. All that aside it’s just phenomenal pho.
Got the pho (#1) and the shrimp spring rolls. I didn’t get sick, but it also didn’t seem particularly safe. Nothing was labeled on the menu and only some of the staff seemed knowledgable about allergies. But the waitress did double check with the kitchen and let me know that the spring rolls were ok but the sauce wasn’t, so that was nice of her! I’ll probably go here again, but I don’t know that it’s any safer than the many surrounding pho restaurants.
Our server was quite knowledgeable about the ingredients of the various dishes. And, when, she wasn't sure, she asked the chefs. I usually stick to the pho at Vietnamese restaurants, and I double-checked that they didn't use soy sauce in the pho. They didn't, of course. My wife also ordered chicken spring rolls on rice paper. We all thought that should be fine for me since rice paper is typically gluten free. However, after the server left to put in our order, she proactively checked with the chef who told her that the chicken was prepared with some soy sauce. So, she cancelled that part of our order. All in all, we had a great meal of pho, and I didn't get sick.
Best pho in SGV!! The line is always out the door. But as we know Vietnamese Food can be tricky.
I have eaten vermicelli noodles without the meat and the pho here. I have spoken with the staff, they seem moderately knowledgable about gluten. They said there is no soy sauce added in the pho, pho noodles are gf, and to not get the grilled meat which has soy sauce.
I have NSGS, It is difficult to know when I have eaten contaminated food unless it is a large exposure. I thought I would put this place on the site and see what other people think. I feel pretty safe eating here and the food is Bomb!!
