Has a gluten free menu with a good amount of options! However, definitely be careful and be your own advocate! I got served the salmon containing gluten, on accident. As i know accidents happen, this was very unsettling. The food was very good but definitely put me on edge. I was told by a waiter it was the gluten free salmon. I was later made aware by the manager that it was a mistake, after i had eaten it all. Not trying to bash this place at all! Just want to make sure everyone stays on guard for themselves. I have a gluten sensitivity/intolerance, so i am okay. My cousin who has Celiacs may not have been as okay. That’s all

Great food and experience!! GF menu and clear markings of cross contamination

I had the wagyu satay, chicken satay, broccoli and shrimp pad Thai — with no reaction

They also have a great cocktails (and zero proof options)!

So happy we found this place. Open very late on weekends! Food was crazy delicious. Not a lot of variety but GF items were REALLY delicious. I had veg fried rice, shrimp pad Thai and wagyu beef satay. It was just and I was a little apprehensive about CC but whole wait team assured us the kitchen takes safe measures. Definitely recommend.

Cool little spot with outdoor seating. They had a GF menu and the waitress assured us what could and wouldn’t have cross contamination. The pad Thai was great and we had some beef with an apricot sauce that was great, too.

Great food and knowledgable staff. They do not have a dedicated fryer, so items that could be cross contacted are marked on the GF menu.

Ask for the gluten free menu! The items are marked if there’s frier cross contamination, but that’s only 3 of the items. It was my birthday and they brought out a dessert; I wasn’t sure if I could eat it because I’ve had bad experiences but the waitress made sure it was gluten free!

They have a gluten free menu! They also mark on the menu what could have possible cross contamination. The waiter was so friendly and knowledgeable about it. Even the people who brought of the food made sure to let us know which dish was gluten free and not as there were people dining that didn’t need gluten free.

Limited but dedicated gluten free menu with plenty of choices. Also marked items that would be at risk for cross contamination from the fryer so if you are celiac/ very sensitive you know to avoid it

There is a gf menu. They modified the sauce on the wagyu satay and it was pretty bland - just an apricot sauce - very sweet. Broccoli was good though. And yummy vanilla mint soft serve ice cream for dessert!

Awesome! Very good with talking about allergies as I also have a seafood allergy. The spicy cucumber, beef satay and chicken stir fry were all awesome. Great happy hour as well with a cute bar behind it called Graffiti

Great place. Has a gluten free menu but there are limited options. The options they had were great though. The Wagyu beef was amazing as was the Broccoli. Highly recommend!

Nice GF options and no reactions to anything, however GF meant no sauce. Kimchee Fried Rice was good.

Not everything on their gluten free menu is gluten free. I asked my waitress (who was very helpful) if any of the dishes on the gluten free menu were cross contaminated. She proceeded by crossing off nearly half the options on the gluten free menu. While the dishes I ended up ordering were very good, I would not want to risk my health here again.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Came during sips. They had no idea what gluten was. Kept telling me I couldn't eat things because of rice or soy. Staff had no knowledge of what was in anything, and then I called the chef later after I got home and it turns out I ate soy sauce which is what made me so sick.

Been here several times. I Love everything I have tried. My husband is gluten free and he loves everything as well. He's never had a reaction here. Only thing disappointing is that they recently stopped their carry out option.

The food is amazing but the menu gets repetitive as the selection is limited (4 entrees, 6 appetizers, 4 sides). The chef leaves things off dishes rather than making gf substitutes-- Pekin (sic) Duck sans buns or leaving the panko off the lamb. The food is good, but I wish the chef would try harder wrt to substitutions.

Eaten here once with my boyfriend and will definitely go back. They were very accommodating with my celiac disease/strict gluten free diet. The waiter knew what I was talking about and knew what I needed to avoid on the menu. Very awesome for someone like moi! I did not get sick and the food was the BOMB. ❤ Go here if you have celiac!!! But make sure you let them know of your dietary restrictions!
