MCCB Chicago

Everything on the menu is cross contaminated. It’s a small kitchen that deep fries or boils EVERY dish in a common pot before cooking in the wok. Do NOT go here if you’re celiac. Ignore any review saying there are gf options.

Great place to eat at! Wait is almost always long as their food is very good! So order online or be prepared to wait. Staff is very knowledgeable on which dishes have gluten in it and which ones can be made gluten free such as the Mongolian chicken. No dedicated GF menu but on their menu it states which options can be modified. My bf has severe celiac disease where he can get sick just from breadcrumbs but has never gotten sick here. This is one of our go to places in Chinatown!

Went here because there was good reviews. After waiting 30 minutes to be sat i was told by the waiter everything in the kitchen is cross contaminated and he didn’t feel comfortable with me eating there.

Knowledgeable about gluten free. Many menu options can be made gF. I got Mongolian beef and it was delicious! Cannot guarantee for cross contamination.

Lots of options, but they were clear that they were not celiac safe due to major cross contamination

Really yummy find. I have struggled to find restaurants in Chinatown that have gf options that I actually like. We ordered chicken fried rice and chefs special stir with chicken that were both gluten free. We also had some really yummy flower tea. In general I feel that it’s a very beautiful space, the servers were really really kind and one was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options which I appreciated. The price for the amount of food that you receive is also not bad at all. I will definitely be going again.

After reading good reviews on here, I was excited and hopeful about this restaurant. When my mom and I told the server we need our food to be gluten free, he said they were only “gluten friendly” and there is a lot of cross contact in the kitchen. We unfortunately had to leave as he didn’t give us any options of what would be safe for us to order off the menu. Very disappointing.

Recommend for celiacs. Staff was helpful and understanding of the need for gluten free food without cross contamination. They seemed knowledgeable about it, and the menu has marked GF options. They even mentioned that most menu items could be prepared gluten free substituting different ingredients. All food was delicious, felt safe the entire time, and had no negative reaction or sickness.

Food was amazing and great service. Great place to safe food servings are huge. Their digital menu shows allergy information and the servers are very knowledgeable on ingredients and cross contamination. If you have questions they know and will help. They had lots of options too! Highly recommend!

The food was great! I didn't get sick after eating here, and I am very sensitive to cross contamination. Our waitresses, Mei and Yo Yo, were really helpful and double checked with the kitchen that our dishes could be made gluten free. So far, this is the only restaurant in Chinatown that I have found where I feel safe eating. Will definitely return regularly!

Not celiac friendly. But that is fine for my allergy. I had the special stir fry with pork; it has onions, cilantro, and various spices. They have gluten free soy sauce they used in the sauce, and my waiter Kevin was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me find something yummy to eat. And oh my goodness did I! I will be dreaming of this stir fry and I’m sad that I don’t live close enough to be a regular here!!
