Review of Sawasdee Thai Cuisine

PSA: I ordered Thai takeout tonight from a local Thai restaurant that we've had good experience with. I was going to order something with glass noodles (gf), until the person told me that they could make any order gf. Excitedly, I ordered the Chow Mein. Upon opening up my order, this is what I found. Looks good, right? Except that I've been eating gf for long enough to know that those noodles are NOT gf. I called the restaurant and explained my problem, but they assured me the noodles were gf. I asked them to please check the ingredients of the noodles and tell me what it says. They said they'd call me back. 10 min later the lady calls, apologizing that they were sure they were gf, but they aren't. I talked with her at length to make sure she understood that the kitchen staff needed to be educated on what their ingredients are. I post this not to make the restaurant look bad, but to educate anyone who eats a special diet that you constantly have to be vigilant when you eat out! I have been eating gf/df since 2011 - 10 yrs next month - but if I were new to gf, I'd have had no idea that these noodles weren't gf. The giveaway is that they are not white/clear/see-thu, they're cylinder instead of flat, they aren't easily broken, and they are wheat-colored. Stay safe everyone!
