Very few options, not celiac safe as there is a lot of cross contamination. My friend found and I both found gluten noodles in with our gluten free meals.

Ordered zucchini pasta hoping it would be gluten free and as far as I can tell it was. Half way through eating it I found a noodle from someone elses order. I specifically asked for no cross contamination and there was contamination to the highest degree. I cannot recommend strongly enough steering clear of this location if you are in any way gluten intolerant.

I’ve loved their Pad Thai for years before I eliminated gluten from my diet. The Pad Thai is GF without modification, which is perfect! You can also replace the pasta with zoodles (zucchini noodles).

I went with my aunt who has Celiac and even after an EXTENSIVE Conversation on the food safety (about 10 Minutes) with 2 Employees, they STILL Messed up and brought her meal with Wheat Pasta. She had just recently started eating GF and had taken a bite before I realized it Didn't LOOK Like GF pasta. The Redeeming factor was that the Manager was Very Nice and apologetic and replaced her meal, BUT she was Already Sick. So, that's kind of a mute point. There's No Going Back after giving someone the wrong thing and making them sick. We Won't go back

Great gluten free food. They can use rice noodles with a lot of their dishes and will even use an allergy pan!

They have gf noodles that are really good, but if you have an allergy, DO NOT RISK IT!! There were many other noodles that ended up in my meal that are not gf. Cross-contamination will for sure occur at this chain!! If you are not as sensitive like me, it was fine and really good, but I do not have an allergy.

When our family ordered food from here, a staff member was knowledgeable about what type of food was safe for someone who has celiac. They made sure to tell the prep cooks as well in preparation. The pad thai was delicious.

Any of the noodles can be substituted with either gluten free shells or rice noodles! And at the counter she asked me if it was a preference or an allergy, so less effort explaining on my part!
