The staff is very knowledgeable regarding gluten! Just tell them its an allergy. I have gone twice now and not gotten sick and I am very sensitive. I tried the dumplings: shrimp and a few of the veggie ones. We had the fried rice, garlic spinach and the green beans. Soooooo tasty. The whole family loved it. They ordered non gluten free dishes and the staff was very good about warning me what I could and couldn't eat.

Review


it was super duper good, but just wayyy too expensive. most of the items marked gluten free on the menu were not gluten free, luckily our server was able to let us know. I went because I had head of gf dumplings, but they only had vegetarian gf dumplings that were okay, but not worth $9 for 3 dumplings. I was hoping for pork dumplings or something. Overall, too overpriced and not enough gf options, even though the few they had were super tasty. I would come back if it wasn’t so expensive ($94 for two people! no drinks!)

Excellent food and the staff appears knowledgeable about the importance of gluten free for celiacs. Gluten free soy sauce is available per a note on the menu. I had the Vegetarian Five Crops Rice with Egg. It was very good and no adverse effects. One thing to note here is that there are symbols on the menu for allergens. On most other menus, the symbol means safe from those allergens, but here it means the menu item contains the allergens, so read the menu carefully.

My GF dumplings and my sons regular pot stickers. Every dish that came out they were very communicative on whether it was safe for me to eat.

Need to make sure that you mention needing to be GF so they will adjust the ingredients to be GF.

Gluten free dumplings! Great experience eating here had a huge feast with no issues. They have gluten free soy sauce and waiter knew how to help. A couple of items that said gluten free on the menu were not really gluten free but the waiter pointed those out. Looking forward to eating here more.
