Orchid Thai Restaurant & Bar

Stopped by here today for lunch as it’s a short 15 minute walk from the Midtown Farmers Market. I had the Chicken Pad Thai which was delicious.

While no designated GF menu, staff was knowledgeable and made sure to note it as GF on the kitchen and note what needed to be done differently — soft tofu vs crispy tofu as an example.

10/10 would visit again.

I came here based on the reviews here on FMGF. I started by asking the server some questions about GF food and was reassured when she checked with the kitchen and marked the ticket with a gluten allergy. I was told that the fryer is not safe, and food doesn’t come marked or flagged. I ordered the drunken noodles with tofu. The food was tasty, the portion large, and 24 hours later I’m not sick. I would recommend.

They use a Seasoning cooking sauce that's gluten free for all the dishes, it's how they're able to make so many things gluten free. I asked to look at it last time I was there because I wanted to be sure.
