New Moon

I wanted to give this place a stellar review but I can’t. I had a great experience the first time. The second time I ordered, I told them I was celiac and completely understood the protocol. Unfortunately, there were wheat noodles in my dish. I went a second time and it happened again. I followed the protocol of letting them know and they assured me they would keep everything separate. Their allergy containers are white and everything was packaged accordingly. Proceed with caution.

My husband and I can’t say enough good things about New Moon. The staff is gracious and well-informed about the menu, including all items that can be made gluten-free. The food is very fresh, delicious, portions are generous and cooked to order. I am gluten-intolerant and my husband is not. The owner has family members with food allergies, so there is a deep understanding and consideration for these concerns. Our go-to place for yummy Chinese fare.

They can make almost anything on the menu gf. Everything is made to order. The food is so good. We had the shrimp appetizer, Mongolian beef, orange chicken, and chow fun. I would definitely recommend.

We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and finally went last night. I’ve been missing Chinese food as I have a gluten allergy, but was told by our waiter that most entrees can be made gluten free. Food was very fresh and delicious, portions were good and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Will be back whenever I’m craving good Chinese food.

GF appetizers only Walley’s grilled shrimp (they use cornstarch to add a crunch to the shrimp). GF Noodles only chow fun (all meats are gf except pork because it pre marinated). It was all super yummy! And they have gluten free soy sauce upon request :)

We go here for lunch or dinner on the way from the Descanso Gardens and Pasadena. Fantastic in all respects. We have had the Beef with Snow Peas, chicken, and the Walnut Shrimp. They use gluten free soy sauce when requested and the dishes taste fantastic. Very knowledgeable staff who bring gluten free soy sauce to our table as well. We stop here whenever we are traveling from the San Fernando Valley to Pasadena. They also have takeout and we get lunch/dinner and go to the park just to the south for a picnic. Open for inside dining as well as outside. There is also a bar attached to the restaurant.

Server was knowledgeable and made sure to let the kitchen know. Food tastes great and had no reaction! Make sure to emphasize to server if you have celiac.

They made my entire order gluten free. Each dish was marked with an allergy sticker.

Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free except appetizers, soups, and some noodles.

I had orange chicken, chow fun with pork, fried rice with chicken, and string beans. I’ve been really missing Chinese food since getting diagnosed. This hit the spot!

The only drawback is that it is a little expensive. But worth the treat!

Looks like I'm unlucky as everyone else has g9od reviews

Tl;dr: Dish supposed to be free of Allergen, said allergen was found in the food and gave me issues. (Pictures on Yelp Review) Celiac beware, gluten intolerant you'll probably be fine.

Saw this place on this app with beef and broccoli and being a celiac I had to go. Got it and had a little piece of heaven, but was feeling a little weird the next day. It's hard to pinpoint what gives me issues as I ate other stuff so whatever, chocked it up.

Went back a few days ago for my fix and I eat about half, BOMB as usual, but next couple days I have no energy, diarrhea, stomach cramps, the whole 9. Finally work up a lil appetite and go to finish my food, and I see the culprit. Couple of stray noodles, in what was designated allergy/special instructions.

I really appreciate the accomodation, as it's hard to find gluten free dishes (especially one this good), but when dealing with allergies, there has to be a keen eye on caution. I am not without some fault as I chose to take a chance. Will think over that decision next time.

Celiac friendly?

No

This restaurant is extremely celiac friendly. Every staff who helped up was well-informed about GF options and they were cautious. I thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service. I didn’t have a reaction. It’s definitely my go-to spot for Chinese food. It was fresh and so tasty. Not oily, not super sweet. Nice sized, sharing portions.

Yes

This place is sooo celiac friendly :)

Fantastic! Have not eaten Chinese at a restaurant in several years. Food is very fresh and tasty. Most of all menu can be made gluten free except appetizers and soups. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and aware. Will go again! Yay!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

After avoiding Chinese food for years due to my son’s Celiac Disease, we happened upon the reviews for New Moon and decided to venture in. The food is absolutely delicious! We had fried rice, Kung Pao Chicken, and New Moon’s Dragon Beef. What a treat! Our new favorite, for sure!

Hands down THE BEST Chinese food we’ve ever had, and it was nearly all gluten free. You have to go.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gluten free Chinese ever! Never gotten sick. Flavors are amazing!

Went back again and had a great time again. The waiters are happy to review the entire menu and go over what is gluten free. Very large selection as they can make most of the dishes with gluten free soy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everyone was very knowledgeable and almost everything on the menu could be made GF. Yummy food! Such a treat!!!

I love this place. I'm a very sensitive Celiac and they have never gotten me sick! I usually get the chow fun or Kung Pao chicken. Tropical iced tea. All safe choices. Great service

I was lucky and had a GF waitress but even if I hadn't they seem very GF savvy. I had the best egg drop soup I'm my life! They made me GF egg fu yung with BBQ pork that was GF. The only mistake the chef made was the sauce. It was inedible it was so salty. The waitress promptly had them make me another. Delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Americanized Chinese food, a little pricey. But they were very knowledgable re: what could be made GF & what could not. We went right at opening for dinner, had a shrimp appetizer that was very good & Kung Pao shrimp, also good. Super sensitive Celiac hubby did not get sick so we will probably go back. There aren't many places for GF Chinese food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food that they will make gluten free for you.
