Tay Ho Restaurant

Was excited to try a place with a ton of GF options: turns our most of their “GF” food isn’t actually gluten free.

They use oyster sauce with gluten, which wasn’t made known until I stressed I was celiac.

Got the beef Pho and spring rolls. Pho was average, 3/5. Spring rolls were better 4/5.

Better places to go that serve the same food.

The service staff isn't super knowledgeable but I'm pretty sensitive and have never gotten sick there. Also, they have beer Lao which is gluten free. The food is really good.

How disappointing. Their menu states at the bottom of each page that 90% of the menu is gluten free, and that you should alert your server if you have a food allergy. Once I found a server who understood English and the word gluten, she told me there were a few items I could order - just pho and vermicelli. She said the combo vermicelli without egg rolls would be gluten free. I got sick anyway. I had such high hopes for a new place I could eat in Oakland.
