Review


Wow wow wow. This is probably the best sandwich I’ve had since being diagnosed with celiac nearly 10 years ago. In fact it is a top 3 all time even before celiac, up there with Houston’s burger and Sam La Grassa.

Nearly the entire menu is GF and they even have great GF buns for the sandwiches. They seem to take the allergies very seriously and mark all the containers. The entire fryer is GF! I tried the GF spicy chicken sandwich, the GF soy garlic chicken plate and a hash brown. It was all amazing. Super flavorful sandwich with crunchy dark meat chicken, cold slaw offsetting spicy sauce in a soft GF bun.

I don’t understand the bubble tea craze but they have some really good Hawaiian juices that pair well with spicy food. I went with strawberry guava.

Only complaint is that I filled up too quickly and didn’t get to try all the stuff I ordered yet! Can’t wait to go back and support this place. Tell everyone you know about this restaurant, especially if they have gluten allergy!!!
