The Laotian food here tasted incredible. Only 3 of the mains are celiac safe - the Phad Lao, the Khao Poon Noodle Soup and the Yellow Gaeng. Most of staff are knowledgeable about CC, but I would ask a few questions since I’ve encountered one knowledgeable and one not so knowledgeable staff member here. Avoid anything cooked in the fryer as there is CC in the fryer, and a large number of dishes here utilize the fryer.

Super crowded, long wait, but so worth it! Everything was delicious, & the server was able to help us navigate multiple food allergies. The tea was really exceptional, too.

Delighted to see that most things on the menu were marked gluten free. Service was great, food arrived quickly. Both entrees and the mango sticky rice dessert were delicious. Cocktail game seems strong too—I liked my date’s drink more than mine, but I still enjoyed it. One of my new favorite places, can’t wait to go back.

Eaten here a couple times and it’s tasty and almost entirely gf. Different wait staff have different levels of knowledge about gluten stuff but with clear communication it’s always been ok for me.

I can’t believe I haven’t been here before! So yummy!

The only thing on the menu with gluten is the burger bun. They know what celiac means and offered to change gloves and alert the kitchen. The Brussels sprout rice fritter thing was unbelievable. Try it all.

Amazing delicious Laotian food! The place is super casual (order at the counter style) but the server was able to answer all of my questions about what was gluten free. He let the kitchen know I had celiac so they cleaned all the cooking surfaces. Food was amazing - and incredible spicy chili oil!!
