No GF menu. They say order anything that can be made Gf and they will. Big menu and good selection but below average Chinese food overall.

Lots of gluten free options, including the ability to specify gluten free in the online ordering app. I have celiac disease and have been going for years without an issue.

Egg drop soup and beef chow mein are delicious! I ordered through the website and you can check a box for gluten free when you order. If the box isn’t available on an item then that means there isn’t a gluten free option. Definitely plenty of options available to make a decent gf meal.

The menu says that they have gluten free options, and the server said most dishes could be made gluten-free. Unfortunately, the hot and sour soup was one of those exceptions, but one could hope! I had a dish of chicken in garlic sauce that was very good and didn't cause any gluten issues.

They are so kind and at one point I was eating there several times a month and never got glutened once

Sesame chicken is even crispier than the real stuff. They use corn starch. Mai Fun is a good sub for lo mein and almost everything (except pork) can be made gf

Such kind owners!

The food is made in a separate wok. They use GF soy sauce and other GF sauces (fish sauce, vinegars, etc. they use separate utensils. They have a clean space in the kitchen. They also mark all to-go boxes.

Almost all items can be made gluten free. Quality of food is excellent.

We go to Golden Duck often. They can accommodate a large group and still maintain the safety of gluten free. The food is fresh, very tasty and very large portions. They even have traditional dishes available gluten free.

They can make many of their dishes gf. My family’s favorites include orange chicken, sautéed green beans, Singapore noodles, eggplant with black bean sauce and egg drop soup. If you are eating in, be sure to ask for Lilly as your server. She is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.

GF Sesame Chicken is delicious. The food tends to be better on the weekends and the wait while dining in can be long.
