The Oriental Pan Asian Restaurant

My partner and I had an AMAZING time here! And best of all, we didn’t get sick. When we sat down, we were given glutinous chips to snack on, but since none of us could eat it we left it alone. After our waiter, who was very knowledgeable about the menu items and told us what could and could not be made gluten free, took our order, she came back and swapped out our chips for gluten free ones. That was incredibly kind surprise and we were very happy about that. The food was also absolutely amazing. We found our new spot for Singapore noodles. My drunken noodle dish was also one of the best noodle dishes I’ve ever had. I was not a fan of the vegetable spring roll though, but my partner loved them also. We will definitely be back! :)

EDIT: We came back! My partner ordered the Singapore noodles again. I ordered the Seafood King, which I really didn’t enjoy. It was nearly thirty bucks and was advertised to have lobster in it, but had a very sad and small chunk of lobster in it when I received it. It was impossible to chew and was freezer burnt. The rest of the meal was also not good. I would not recommend it. The Singapore noodles, however, were very good as always.

Don’t walk but Run here!!! They can make 95% of their menu gluten free and they understand Celiac. Frank, the chef, was so nice. I had called to inquire bc my 8 year old daughter has been so upset since her diagnosis of not having Chinese food. When we came he gave her samples of lots of GF foods and they were all delicious! Even my nonGF daughter who is super picky loved it. The smile on her face and the fact that she asked us to order more soup just to take home says enough. HIGHLY recommend this place.

Fantastic food and while there is no menu, most of the dishes can be prepared gluten-free. Even egg rolls! The only things they specifically warned us against were boneless spare ribs and wontons but the server and owner were both friendly and very knowledgeable.

Staff and owner are wonderful. We've been coming here since they opening.

The menu currently does NOT explicitly mark items gluten free. However, they WILL make items gluten free on request.

This place is AMAZING! They are so super careful! I was nearly teary eyed because it has been so long since I had Chinese food! Everything was so good and you wouldn’t even know it was gluten free!! They can make almost everything on the menu GF. I usually have immense anxiety eating out but I’m so thankful to have found this place. The manager (maybe it is the owner? Not sure) is such a sweetheart and he came to my table to verify everything. I told him about this app and he was so glad the restaurant was on it. He was very knowledgeable. This place is such a gem!!

I loved it! The food was delicious and I was able to eat an egg roll, spareribs and sesame chicken all gluten free! The spareribs were succulent. Moist and finger licking good. The egg roll was more like a spring roll, but good, though I may not order it again...I guess I really wanted a regular egg roll. Also had the Hawaiian fried rice which was excellent and enjoyed by both GF and non GF eaters. One non GF ordered the pad thai, it was not to her taste, but others said it was very good. I will definitely be going back here to try some other dishes and those amazing spareribs again. Staff were very friendly and pleasant and the decor was very nice. Superior quality food and dining experience.

No idea on prep area, but I am feeling fine and will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Wow! Everything was delicious, fresh, and tasty. Large portions. We had Thai basil chicken, shrimp pad Thai and fried rice. Can't wait to experience more of the menu. did not get sick..Can't wait for leftovers. Wish we found this placeorder.r. food was hot and packaged well for take out. Receipt was labeled Gluten free and when we arrived they said "Gluten free?" acknowledging our order. Way better experience than Temple in Red Bank at fraction of price with better flavor.

This wonderful new restaurant is my family's new favorite place! Finally delicious Asian Fusion for my Celiac Family! They can convert about 95% of the menu to be gluten free, therefore there is no separate GF menu. We are thrilled to enjoy egg rolls,

spare ribs and even Lo mein again!! They are extremely knowledgeable and very careful with cross contamination. Friendly staff, too! Highly recommend!!

Excellent excellent Chinese food! Got the GF lettuce wraps, egg roll, and chicken with broccoli, and they were so tasty! To make up for gluten, they may add a little too much salt, but they’re food is still very delicious. Instead of wontons, they bring over corn tortilla chips and duck sauce for you to enjoy. They are very knowledgeable and can make almost everything on the menu GF!

Just ordered several dishes from here. We ordered spare ribs, sesame chicken, chicken with mixed vegetables and pork fried rice. It was very good and our Celiac child had 0 reaction!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yum! No GF menu, but most of the menu can be made GF. Staff is very knowledgeable. I had a GF egg roll and Egg Foo Young! What a treat!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

These people certainly love eggs cause they are in every friggin' dish. I have an egg allergy and couldn't even order a normal meal here because every meat for some reason is marinated in egg. I have no idea why they could not get some plain protein and cook it for me in a stir fry. I ordered the seafood soup and it was loaded with eggs which is rather disgusting. Also they are not careful with gluten. I saw a server handling the fried wontons they put on the table with her bare hands and then grabbed a bowl of white rice and delivered it to a table with a young girl who had a gluten allergy (the same hand that was touching the wonts touched the top of the rice). The people I was with said the food wasn't even that good and that the place has gone downhill. I won't be going here again

Celiac friendly?

No

I hadn't been able to enjoy Chinese food for years until I found this place! My girlfriend and I decided to try it one day after a long day at the beach so we did take-out. The guy at the front desk was very knowledgeable about gluten and what dishes could be made gluten-free and what couldn't! My fellow Celiacs will know that that's super reassuring! I'm happy to report that the food was both delicious and absolutely gluten-free!

Just a tip: the guy at the takeout counter informed me that gluten free versions of their dishes could only be made large, although I don't know if that applies to eat-in as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic food, helpful knowledgeable staff. It was great to know I could eat Chinese food again. Very careful with food prep!

I love this place. I eat here almost once a week and I have never gotten sick. Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free you just have to ask. Even my family members will order gluten free now because it's just as delicious and we can share everything. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We've been here twice and the food is absolutely delicious! The fried calamari is sooo good. Servers are knowledgeable about GF and very accommodating. No one got sick so we're happy!

Very good Chinese food. I find it annoying that they don’t have a separate gf menu but they know what they can and can’t make gluten free and will tell you when you ask.

The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful and my Mongolian beef was made gluten free and cooked perfectly. Miso soup and bubble tea were excellent and restaurant was comfortable and clean. I'll be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very accommodating and staff is friendly and well educated on what can/cannot be made gluten free. Not only are there a wide variety of gluten free options, it is also made in separate cookware to further minimize the gluten crossover. So hard to find good Asian food that has option. Very rare for them to take this extra step!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I always feel safe when I eat here. The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten and they can make most of there entrees gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Oriental can make most of the entire menu gluten free if you ask! They’re knowledgeable, understand what gluten free is. When I eat there and order Gf they always bring me gf chips & duck sauce which is a very nice bonus! My fav Chinese in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place they have a great variety and you can get egg rolls too!! it was nice that they were knowledgeable as to what can be prepared and that they have a wide variety of choices!

Great food worth driving an hour for!

This restaurant is listed here at least twice withthe name varied. I left a review with updates on the other one and just can't help doing it again on this one. My husband and I LOVE this place! The food is among the best we have ever experienced ( and we have had a LOT of Asian food ). Most everything is or can be made Gluten Free including dishes that other places that accomodate for GF don't do ( i.e. Grand Marnier Shrimp ). The spare ribs are out of this world! So many dishes have met or greatly exceeded our expectations. Add to the great food that the atmosphere is nice and the owners go out of their way whenever time permits to make us feel like we are at home. It's like Cheers... Where They Are Always Glad You Came. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very safe. I've eaten here countless times and have never gotten sick. I just wish they would label their menu so I wouldn't have to choose items through trial and error.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice Place, Great Service, Fresh and Deliscious Food. Most anything can be made gluten free. I was over the moon for the Grand Marnier Shrimp! I want to add to my review here that hubby and I have been so impressed with this place that we have returned a handful of times. An hr drive ...well worth it. The absolute best Asian restaurant that accomodates for Gluten Free needs.

not a huge Chinese food fan, but this was great, very fresh, and the lady (Assuming she was the owner) came over and told me that she has the ability to make 90% of the menu gluten free, and she doesn't have a gluten free menu because she wants us celiacs to feel included. love that. when in the area I'll be in for more of the general tso and pork fried rice

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The best GF Chinese food we've had. Almost everything can be made gluten free, and everything we tried was delicious

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food & Service was very nice. Gluten Free food if you need to eat GF.

Will be going back, We enjoyed ourselves very much. Food was very tasty & fresh.

So Gluten Free friendly. And so are the people who work there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! Frank was very helpful in handling both mine and my sisters food allergies! They are very willing to work with you!!!! Food is consistently awesome
