Olay's Thai Lao Cuisine

There isn’t a gluten free menu and items are not marked. This is NOT a safe place to eat- our server was not knowledgeable whatsoever and did not take me seriously when I asked questions. Needless to say, I got glutened and was very very sick. Do not recommend

Such a cute spot!! It' has a super cute backyard twinkly light set up. They had plenty of gluten free options (they were able to tell me what could be gluten free). Food tasted good as well!

Visited this little gem for lunch and was really surprised. Walked out to the main seating area which was beautifully decorated pop up tents in a little courtyard. Great vibe. The server was knowledgeable and even checked to see if one of the apps could be made GF because “Gramma is here” and it was a dish that only she prepared from scratch. No dice on that but had Thom Kah which was unbelievable, but family style so there was a lot. Also had Chicken Pad Thai which was great. The group I was with loved their food as well. Finished up the meal with Mango Sticky Rice that was amazing. Great find!

I will wait to update my review when I can confirm I didn’t get sick, but wanted to say that the stuffed fried chicken on the Thai menu is NOT GF - it’s made with panko, and it goes in the same fryer as everything else so the fryer isn’t safe.

Server was lovely and checked with the kitchen for me, he knew what celiac was and said the cooktop isn’t separate but the kitchen will clean it and use new utensils for allergies/Celiac.

Went here after reading the other reviews and it did not disappoint! The server was so knowledgable about what had gluten and went to alert the entire kitchen after I ordered. I had the summer rolls and the pad siew and they were both amazing! Highly recommend this place!

Went in based on the reviews here and high safety rating. It has a lovely outdoor space that extends out back. Large menu including Thai and Lao foods. Told the server I have a gluten allergy including contact with other foods (I find this communicates the severity better than saying celiac or intolerance). She said that was fine. I asked for clarification on what I couldn’t eat since she didn’t offer information - only the Lao menu was not gf. EVERYTHING on the Thai menu was gf! (Everything available vegan as well.) I couldn’t believe how many options I had! She acknowledged the cross contact as well. I don’t usually press further on kitchen set up. I didn’t clarify in all Lao and Thai foods are prepared safely. (I reserve 5 stars for dedicated gf spots) Also super lgbtq friendly!

Waiter very knowledgable and accommodating. I went for the curry to be extra sure and it was so delicious. Also got the avocado satay fried in cornstarch with peanut sauce and it was delicious. If you get Thai iced tea ask for it with coconut milk and it’s way better! I’m only gluten intolerant so can’t say for sure about safety for celiacs.

Wow! They only use gluten-free soy sauce and can tell you what is and isn't gluten free on their menu. I only had the sausage but it was amazing. They also supply the food for Skull and Crown next door so if you go over there for drinks, you can get gluten-free food there as well.
