Great food! We called to verify that the fried items on their menu that were marked gf were actually gf and they are not because of a shared frier. But the meals we had were amazing!
cute thai place on a really nice little strip of alexandria. the staff knew their menu well and they took extra note when we mentioned we're celiac.
unfortunately for vegetarian options the soups are chicken broth based, and the tofu isn't safe, but their vegetables were great.
We got take out from here and really enjoyed it! We ordered vegetarian options and were told the tofu was made in a shared fryer so we got just veggies instead. The pad see ew was maybe some of the best we’ve ever had gluten free. We also got the veggie panang curry which was also really delicious. Per recommendation from prior reviews here, we still let the restaurant know we had celiac and needed our ordered flagged for gluten free - we really appreciated the extra caution they took. It’s still a shared cooking space so there’s always risk, but we felt ok after!

All I can say is WOW! This is the best meal I have had in years . I had the fresh summer roll, the drunken volcano and mango sticky rice. Food was out of this world. Cocktails were just delicious. Most of the menus is gluten free and celiac safe.
We ordered takeout over the phone, food was safe and came marked, the drunken volcano with chicken was really good! No issues!
We made a reservation the week before our trip for a party of 11 people, including five children. They were so accommodating and the food was delicious. Both myself and my daughter has celiac and we had no issues at all.
Great little date night spot when you want some delicious food in Old Town! I had the crab fried rice and we split the summer rolls. So much food. We also each had a cocktail. The service was exceptional. We did not have anything fried based off the reviews here that while marked GF they are in a shared fryer. I did not inquire about the fryer as there are plenty of non fried options that all looked amazing.
Went here twice because the food was so good. Talked to two different people and they were both knowledgeable about gluten free, emphasizing that they try to make most of the menu gluten free to accommodate. They also mentioned they use new/clean pots/pans to cook the gluten free items when you mention a gluten allergy. When I mentioned a gluten allergy, they even asked to clarify celiac, which was a very pleasant surprise. Food was DELICIOUS. Some of the best Thai food I have had in a very long time. They even had BBQ pork, which I rarely find! No reaction after getting their signature fried rice, fresh summer roll, edamame, pad thai, khao moo dang, and khao moo grob.
Good pad see ew, was very fast and lots of gluten free options
All of the reviews were right on. Food was delicious and so were the drinks. They are very aware of celiac and most of the menu is GF. We had edamame, peanut satay chicken, spring rolls and I had Pad Thai for my entree. Highly recommend
It was so so good!! My daughter and I shared two amazing dishes. And even had appetizers.
Some amazing Asian. Visited the city for a wedding and wanted to get something safe. Nearly the whole menu is available gf, and it’s all great.
This place was so good, my fiance and I can’t stop talking about it. The panang curry was too die for. Menu is marked for gluten free. Highly recommend!
The staff was excellent and very experienced. I would definitely recommend going here, but be careful - the food is so good you will not want to stop eating it.
Absolutely delicious food! The menu clearly marks gluten and other dietary restrictions, as well as notes that if you have strict needs, they will let the chef know and provide various accommodations. I highly recommend the chive dumplings and the green curry.
The cocktails were unique, the food great, and the waitstaff sweet and attentive. I avoided anything fried as per advice here and had no reaction. Would absolutely go back!
Genuinely such amazing food! The staff was very helpful and explained that everything that was gf was marked on the menu. Everything tasted great and I felt really confident eating their with celiac
As a local, I frequent this place probably once a week. I’ve tried four of five different dishes and have always been safe. Their soy sauce is GF and DELICIOUS, their menu is clearly marked, and the prices are reasonable - especially for the King St area. I always say I’m celiac and they know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’re in town, please do yourself a favor and stop by!
So yummy and satisfying! Most of the menu is thoughtfully GF. Avoid anything fried because of cross contamination, including tofu as a protein choice with the entrees. The noodles dishes and curries were very delicious.
Delicious! I had the Salmon Panang and my husband got the Pad Thai. We were assured that both were GF and I did not have any reaction. We will definitely be coming here again!
Absolutely delicious! The menu has GF markings, and they have these weird, delicious fried chive “dumplings” that are deeply crave-able.
My husband has celiac and has never gotten sick in the half dozen times we’ve ordered takeout here.
Wow, I loved this place. Went twice in one week, no reactions. They seemed pretty knowledge. The fried options are not gf. A few options marked on the menu as gf are not gf due to being fried.
One mishap was when another gf friend of mine got a pork curry. They put fried shallots (not gf) on top. So, make sure to ask for no fried shallots.
I’m a sensitive celiac and I order the pad Thai on the regular and have never gotten sick. (Never eaten anything fried though!)
Delicious and did not get sick. Staff knowledgeable. Did carry out via phone order and worked great.
Unfortunately we found out after four years of coming here that they use a shared fryer.
Delicious food, great staff, and the menu is clearly marked! We have been going here for almost a year and they are incredibly consistent.
Amazing Thai food! Their menus are labeled with what dishes can be made gluten free and we also checked with the waitress. The chef even came from the kitchen to double check the gluten free note on our order before cooking. My friend and I split 3 dishes (with lots of leftovers) - chicken Pad Thai, pork Signature Fried Rice, and beef Drunken Volcano/Noodles. This is what I’d always order prior to going gluten free at a Thai restaurant, so it was very special having the opportunity to have all of my favorites for the first since since going gluten free. It was all so delicious and we were honestly wondering how they made it taste so good gluten free. The atmosphere is also adorable!
Food was really good; our kids loved it too. Tried the Tom kha soup, summer roll, volcano noodles and Panang curry. Items that are GF are clearly marked. Felt fine afterwards.
Best Thai food! They have so many GF options listed on the menu. Full of flavor and taste almost too good to be gf!
Great local place with tons of gf options all clearly marked on the menu. Helpful friendly staff, and a delicious meal. Marking four for safety as I didn’t quiz them on their kitchen precautions, just trusted earlier reviewers from here! But I didn’t get sick.
They had a number of items that were clearly marked on the menu. Not our favorite Thai place but did the job. Two of us have celiac and felt fine after!
Had stuff clearly labeled and made it easy for a large group to order.
Many gluten free options, clearly marked on their menu!
Excellent food and service. Gluten free options are clearly marked.
Thorough server, asked great questions and made GF recommendations.
Amazing food and celiac safe! The noodles are to die for.
Excellent service! When I clarified I was celiac they double checked all cross contact. Be careful of cashews and peanuts fried in the single fryer with breaded items. But GF options were still delicious!
Waiter knew which things to avoid for cross contamination! Delicious food and didn’t get sick
I can’t wait to eat here again. The gluten free food had so much flavor! The pad Thai and green curry were delicious. When I placed my order to go, they put it in computer only as gluten free which made me a little uncomfortable, however I felt great after eating their food with no pain or discomfort at all.
Wonderful food, with a good selection of gluten free. The green curry is excellent. The servers are also quite knowledgeable, which is great as there are a few gluten free items on the menu that aren’t safe for celiac. Anything fried is in a shared fryer, which they brought up as soon as I tried to order something. I’ve eaten here a few times without issue.
So good! Very safe! Celiac and never had a reaction
Delicious food and so many options clearly marked on their menu. Can’t wait to visit again!
Excellent food. I've gotten delivery from them several times now. The food has been great and I haven't gotten sick. I've gotten the Panang curry and the Pineapple fried rice, which they kindly prepared without egg at my request. Highly recommend.
Staff very familiar with gluten free options. The lump crab fried rice and teriyaki salmon were delicious. Friendly ambiance.
Very friendly staff, lots of gluten free choices, delicious food!
With the use of gf soy sauce the majority of this menu is gf. They were clear with me that it is a shared fryer so I stayed clear of any fried items (otherwise not made with gluten containing ingredients) as I’m celiac. Word of warning, some of the fried items are marked as gf because they don’t contain any gluten ingredients but cross contamination remains a concern with those dishes. We tried the pad see ew, green curry, and drunken noodles. All three were absolutely delicious. We also had the edamame to start and I want to try the fresh spring roll next time as that is also gf. Despite the issue with a couple fried items being marked gf the staff were all very knowledgeable and took my dietary needs seriously. It also didn’t hurt that the restaurant itself is very cute with a cool layout. This will definitely be a frequent stop for me! I’m writing this a day later and I did not get sick (the true test).
Went to dinner on Valentine’s and the food was beyond delicious. My husband is DF and I am GF and DF, neither of us had a reaction to any of the food we had. Beef drunken noodles were amazing!
Absolutely fantastic Drunkin Noodles. The staff knew all about Celiac and guided me to the gluten free options. Recommended not to have things from the frier. I didn't get sick.
