Pork dumplings were really delicious and basically everything we got was very flavorful and delicious. When cooking with ingredients with soy sauce, most the time the flavor changed because gluten free soy sauce isn't as strong, but not here. It doesn't feel like you're missing that extra kick. Very nice place and sweet servers.

Delicious, but then I got sick. Cannot pinpoint what dish or if it was just cross-contamination.

Food is always amazing. Go here Everytime we are in NYC. My wife loves their sweet and sour chicken. Can't say enough about this place other than it's a must try in NYC. They were gluten friendly well before everyone else. First time here was in 2011.

We were handed the gluten free menu when we walked in, this is standard for all patrons. The waiting staff had a good understanding of gluten free and assured me that the chef would take extra care with the preparation of my food. I feel quite safe eating here and he food was good too.

We tried this restaurant today and so glad we did! There were so many options I had difficulty deciding. I had the shrimp tempura and general tso’s chicken, both of which were delicious. The portions were large and the food was good. Ii am a sensitive celiac and did not get sick.

Love the wide ranging gluten free menu!!! We had delicious house fried rice, Kung Paola chicken with peanuts (Best weever had—-w/freshchopped green beans and carrots in it)... but would NOT recommend the pan seared pork dumplings: they were so doughy w/almost no pork stuffing... they were good and crispy on one side ONLY...-and soft and uncookedtasting in other side. On the whole a greatgluten free restaurant for Asian food offferings. Tiny restaurant- so wise to make reservations...

They have a huge gluten free menu and the staff is very knowledgeable about allergies. I got the house fried rice and steamed pork dumplings. The dumplings are amazing!! They have gluten free sushi options as well. They have separate plates for gluten free food and everything (square plates for gf and round plates for regular). Very impressed and a nice break from all the Italian gf places in the area

They have a dedicated GF menu with a celiac friendly procedure in place for preparation. They can also make some of their sushi and sashimi gluten free if asked. They clean the table and don’t bring soy sauce. Delicious and very knowledgeable, it’s been a long time since I’ve had pad Thai!

I was excited to try Chinese food, as I have not had any since my diagnosis more than two years ago. However, I was very disappointed. The food was mediocre at best. Service was initially very good, but after a change in servers, the service was very inconsistent. My dining partner had a great meal, but he is not gluten free. I appreciate having the option to eat here, but it is not a restaurant I would expect a the service was very inconsistent. My dining partner had a great meal, but he is not gluten free. I appreciate having the option to eat here, but it is not a restaurant I would expect to frequent. I will add however that there was no apparent cross-contamination, and I felt great after the meal. That's a huge plus.

Amazing! This was some of the best Chinese food I had ever had even though it was gluten free. You’d never know the difference. My son with a gluten allergy had never had Chinese food before and ate everything up. Wish I lived closer as I would order from here all the time.

I got the chicken fried rice as well as chicken & broccoli, sharing it with a gluten eater. We both loved it, didn't taste any different than normal Chinese food. It is on the pricey side for regular Chinese food, ($20-25 an entree) but it's New York so what do you expect. Overall 10/10 though, it tasted great
