You can order your food gf and they will ask if it’s a preference or an allergy…but I definitely got glutened last time I was there. Other times I’ve been fine, so it’s kind of hit or miss.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! I ordered a dish to go, but asked them to use the gluten free noodles, put on the order "PLZ gluten free!", and also asked when picking it up to make sure it is gluten free. The girl replied "well yeah, it's the pipette noodles", even though she wasn't the one that made it. We are traveling, to I ate two huge GLUTEN ravioli in the pasta dish in the dark in the car before realizing they had put BOTH kinds of noodles in my bowl. Without a miracle, I will be DEATHLY SICK for days!!

DO NOT GO HERE. Seriously a complete and utter lack of understanding of gluten sensitivity. After watching them prepare my wife’s food in all the exact same areas as the regular noodles. They brought it out and I explained that is not gluten free, the manager at the time apologized and brought it back. I again went out to watch them make it. The manager explained to the person cooking we were returning our food. They both laughed and shook their heads. Seriously?!? The person preparing the food then started to cook it the same way, in the exact same areas as before. In the past when eating at Noodles when we brought up a “gluten allergy” a manager had to come and verify the order with their code. I have no idea why this is not in place at this store. This whole store needs a complete retraining. I will be contacting the store manager Monday morning for the utter lack of respect and understanding of gluten free allergies.

Not at all friendly to Gf. Staff had no idea what Gf was even though it was listed in the menu. Only gave one star because I had too. Would not recommend.

They are so careful here! Love them, best gluten free kitchen in town. They switch out pans, and the rice noodles are super yummy! I get sick with cross contamination easily - have never here! Would trust them for sure!

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!
