I order curry from here regularly without issue. I prefer their veggie/tofu options to the meats but the massaman with beef is also good. The staff are super kind and willing to modify to accommodate and use tamari or omit other gluten containing sauces. Not my favorite pad Thai but the pad see ew is good!
Server was very knowledgeable about GF, said that they can make basically everything GF per request. Even had fried spring rolls! Everything we ordered was delicious, we got the seafood pad see ew, fish tom kha, and the spring rolls. Would eat here again!

Ordered the Pad Thai based on the recommendation here. I wasn't able to eat it due to the flavor. Sent it back with the request to omit the fish and oyster sauce and cannot say there was a difference in flavor when it came out a second time. I was not the only one who experienced this in my party, as a friend of mine (not GF) order the Pad Thai as well. She tried to choke it down. Not sure what was going on with the base but I cannot recommend the Pad Thai. The service was excellent and my husband's red curry was tasty.

Phuket Thai will leave out the soy sauce or oyster sauce or fish sauce on request. They use rice noodles so you can have pad thai or wide noodles. My wife and I love the ginger soup. It's coconut milk based. It's delicious, not the best, but very good. My wife is not a fan of the pad thai. I think it's the lack of soy sauce. I added gluten free soy sauce to the left overs. That certainly helped. We may opt for take out in the future so we can add soy sauce at home.Prices are about $12 a dish. This is a few dollars more than many Thai places. There were just two of us. We ordered a bowl of soup and two dishes last time. There was enough left overs for both of us to have lunch the next day.

This was a nice place for lunch. They do not have an actual GF menu. I had the yellow curry chicken, which was the only thing our waitress was positive was GF without changing anything in it. I usually don't like curry, but my food was actually yummy :) and the prices aren't bad for lunch. They use rice noodles in many dishes and can make any of those options GF, if you leave the soy sauce and/or oyster sauce out of it. Contrary to another review, their FRIED FOOD IS NOT GLUTEN FREE... Our waitress asked the cook. They use a combination of CORN STARCH AND FLOUR. Always ask if items are GF anywhere you eat, even if it's something you've had before, and regardless if someone else says it is. If you have any doubts about an item, pick something else or don't eat at whatever restaurant it may be. I know how hard it is to eat out and find safe GF food.
this place is fabulous! everything that's fried is battered with cornstarch instead of flour. the only dishes with gluten in them have soy sauce and if you ask they can make anything without it. the food was delicious. we ordered the dinner for 2, which was more like a dinner for 4! the staff were helpful, attentive, and kind. overall, this place was a fantastic find and we'll be coming here again.
