This has become my go to place to order Pho. The menu online has clear gluten free markers and I have eaten from here many times with no problem. I’ve called to ask about different things and they’re always very knowledgeable. Plus the Pho is very good!!

First time and it was delicious!! Several items on the menu are marked gluten free along with many vegetarian options. The food was fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly. I went with colleagues who hadn’t been here before either and everyone raved about the restaurant. We’ll be going back!

I asked for gluten free, they confirmed gluten free, it was all prepared gluten free, and they put small containers of gluten-filled sauce in the enclosed takeout containers. One leaked all over and the other one didn't leak but was sticky on the outside and it was not a sticky dish.

I called to ask about the sauce that was neither mentioned online in the dishes' descriptions nor mentioned over the phone. At first, they said it was a gluten free order so everything was gluten free but when I pressed, they said the sauce wasn't gluten free. Good thing I checked! I'll not be ordering from here again.

(For non-celiacs using this app, my boyfriend who is not a celiac took them to work for lunch and said they tasted great).

Had great Pho here. Not a ton of GF options. A couple people in our party didn’t like their dinners/were given something they didn’t order. Stick with the beef Pho.

The Pad Thai is advertised as Gluten Free, however it’s extremely bland because the sauce that adds all the flavor is NOT Gluten Free. Doesn’t seem like the dish should even be considered!
