We found this restaurant from this App and was an all time great find.

The owner of The Oriental was so informed and attentive about gluten that it put me at ease instantly. She spent time with us explaining that she could make about 90% of the menu gluten free, so she doesn't keep a separate menu. The owner took the time to explain what ingredients are used as an alternative in the GF dishes and what she can do to tweak a regular dish to be GF.

They usually start out the table with the crispy noodles with duck sauce, but they gave us tortilla chips instead, which was a nice touch. It was like mexican/asian fusion.

I am not a big egg roll guy but I tried a bite of my wifes and it was good. We had the GF spare ribs and while they taste a little different than what I would think of as the "traditional" Chinese spare rib, it was a good thing in this case. They almost tasted to be marinated in a duck sauce. I highly recommend them.

We had chicken with bok choy and mongolian beef. Both were excellent and tasty. They weren't just good for GF, they were good for real deal asian fusion cuisine.

Our only regret is that we live about 40 minutes from The Oriental, but we will certainly be back.

I highly recommend this place!
