We know the owner personally and they are very knowledgeable about Celiac, quite careful to avoid cross contamination, and can make most of their menu gluten free. Our Celiac daughter had sesame chicken with no issues.

Love this place! The owner has a daughter that’s gluten free so she knows what’s gluten free and what’s not! She gave me a free egg drop soup and she was super kind and friendly almost anything can be made gluten-free if you ask me

Best gluten free option for Chinese in Des Moines. It does take longer to order gluten free but that's because they clean everything down and prepare separately. They even bag separately from other items. I've never had an issue and eaten there many times.

This establishment went out of their way to ensure me and my two celiac kids gluten free meals. Beyond gluten we have other food allergies. Our server, Shalayna, made several trips to the kitchen and back, and personally oversaw the production of our meals. Because of the extent of our food allergies and celiac we will limit our visits to slower weekdays but we will return.

The food was excellent and the service exemplary.

They do not offer a gluten free menu but they can make most of their menu items gluten free. The staff is beyond careful to avoid cross contamination.

Loved the pad Thai with chicken! Did great afterwards. I am always happy when I have enough for lunch the next day too. My non-gluten free husband enjoyed his meal. We’ll go back again!

Most everything on the menu can be made GF, except the appetizers or noodles dishes. I had the Hunan chicken and and daughter had chicken fried rice. My daughter is pretty picky and she loved her rice, so that was a win. The portion sizes are huge so plan to have leftovers the next day. My non GF husband and son enjoyed their meals as well.

Delicious Chinese food! No gluten free menu but everything can be modified except the appetizers and hot and sour soup. The owner's son is celiac so they take gluten free seriously. Please support them!

Best Asian food I have had. Everything except the appetizers can be made to order gluten free. Chef handles food carefully. You can see the kitchen from while your food is being prepared. Owners are very friendly. Highly recommended.
