This place is part of my weekly lunch rotation. I order online and make sure to substitute the noodles with the gluten free. I also leave a bold note that I have a gluten allergy. Mac and cheese, buttered noodles, and pad thai are all safe. I have at other locations had a stray gluten noodle, but no issue at this location. If you order in person and you say you have an allergy a manager now has to swipe a card to indicate it’s an allergy order.

I always order a dish with rice noodles, but every time there are a few pieces of regular pasta in it that is not gluten free.
Review
Be careful. I have tried on several occasions to enjoy the gluten free selections and have been incredibly sick every time. I always tell them I have Celiac Disease and ask for them to please make sure they're using fresh water and seperate utensils and pans. I so wish I could safely eat here.

Offers gluten-free fusilli and rice noodles. The restaurant was nice about offering a taste sample before we ordered.

I was very excited to eat the gluten free Mac & cheese. We called to make sure ahead of time that everything would be cooked separately, and told them i had celiac. When I went to order in person I told them the same thing, and still ended up extremely sick sadly

Pad Thai is a good choice for gluten avoiders. They make gluten free noodles but I’m not sure about cross contamination. Many of the sauces have gluten, including the Mac and cheese sauce. Employee was knowledgeable and helpful. This is a good choice for a quick stir fry.

They have separate cookware they use for allergies and take cross contact very seriously. I have always been happy with the attention they take with my order when I mention gluten allergy.

The staff is really friendly and open to answer questions about their menu. The guy at the register even went to confirm the Alfredo sauce didn't have gluten for me.
