— Average

I ordered the lettuce wraps which I was told could be made with GF soy sauce and Singapore Noodles which were marked as gluten free on the menu. My meal was very tasty but I immediately reacted and almost didn’t make it the .5 miles back to the Airbnb I was staying in. I would not recommend this as safe for celiacs.

This is one of my favorite places on Bardstown Road to eat. I get takeout from here quite a bit, and options are limited -- but the menu is marked and as long as I've been going here I've never had a reaction. The staff always makes a note to the chef, too, that I have celiac disease.

Food is great- but a recent ingredient change greatly limited the gf offerings. Bummer! The couple of items you can still get are pretty good though. I like the rice noodle bowls. Informative and helpful staff!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service and amazing food. We got our food quickly and all of us, including the gluten eater and the GF family are in love. Seriously. Asisn food we can eat? Maybe we should move to Louisville.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No luck with Joy Luck. I sent them a FB message to learn more about their GG menu options and they said they could make 80% of their menu GF. We got to the restaurant and they couldn’t make anything because they were out of GF soy sauce. I’m sure it’s safe, when they can provide the menu items that they promise. Today, we were out of luck

There are several items on the menu that are labeled gluten free but when our kids wanted something more like what they are used to, the owner came to our table and shared some additional items that could be made gluten free with simple substitutions including gluten free soy sauce. Celiacs and those without allergies left full and satisfied. Great atmosphere and friendly staff as well. A win all the way around.

Several options marked GF on the menu. Staff is knowledgable and the food is always delicious.
