Now a location of Friedman’s so offers both Friedman’s menu and gluten free Asian food options. We were on vacation and went to Friedman’s for GF options - happy to stumble on the Asian food options. Can attest that the food was authentic, yummy and safe. GF items clearly marked when brought to the table. No issues afterwards. Would come back if we are ever in NYC.
This is now Friedman’s but don’t be worried!! There’s a whole fabulous menu with sushi, noodle dishes and a wide variety of options.
Many, many gluten free options! Sooo yummy

This place is closed. We made reservations online after being told to come here. We got confirmations for our reservation and when we arrived they were completely shut down. By the way, there were cockroaches in the window and all around the front of this place. Disgusting. Not even open.
Permanently closed, we just showed up after making online reservations and they are closed…

So many options! This is not an actual restaurant, but the Asian food offerings on the endless Friedman’s menu. It was fun to try dishes I don’t normally have the chance to have, but it wasn’t the best Chinese food or sushi I’ve ever had.
Wow. Wish we would have found this sooner! Incredible GF pot stickers! Ordered the General Tso tofu it was delicious 😋 would have never guessed either of these were GF. So many options here! They serve all meals, American, Chinese & sushi.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in New York! It’s very safe and comes out with little gluten free flags. I always have to get the mei fun noodles and either the sesame chicken or tangerine chicken. They also have potstickers and dumplings that are amazing.
Fantastic gluten free Asian cuisine in Battery Park!! Wei West is now owned by Friedman’s so you can also order Friedman’s menu. I enjoyed Korean wings and fried rice.

The sesame chicken is so so good! They are technically owned by Friedmans now, so they also have the Friedmans menu.
Omg I wish I lived near this restaurant. I couldn't believe what was on the menu for gf. All soy is tamari based. I had a wonderful noodle dish. I was so excited and it was so hard to choose. We wandered over from New Jersey side and it was well worth it. It will be my go-to in NYC from now on.
Had a delicious Father’s Day dinner here with family. Huge GF menu and food comes out with tags, which is reassuring. We were able to share everything and it was delicious! They have gf noodles, dumplings, sushi and desserts. The chocolate lava cake was a fave, even of the muggles.
So many gluten free options - loved the shrimp fried rice best + general tso’s orange chicken
Absolutely the best gluten free Chinese food that I have ever had! They have a great gluten free menu and the staff are knowledgeable about celiac and take extra care. Every time I am in the area I eat here. Absolutely love this place!
Delicious Sushi and Sashimi, bowls etc. Perfect service.

Ordered pickup online. Chinese food. Very limited options. Chose a later time slot, but was given a time slot 20 minutes later AFTER checkout. Did not make the food faster even after I showed up 15 minutes early to get it. Requested GF versions because I have Celiac’s. It was not at all GF. Very expensive. Never going back.
Wei West has moved to 245 Murray St. and merged with Friedman’s. The new menu is listed at the link below. There’s a full Asian menu (the chef is the same as the former Wei West) in addition to Friedman’s classics. I had the GF dumplings with spicy sauce and the crispy tuna appetizer. Both were excellent. I’m looking forward to trying other dishes!

My daughter and I were amazed at the sweet and sour chicken it was delicious! We also had sushi which was great! They had gluten free soy sauce packets. It’s going through a renovation right now but the food is worth eating outside no matter the temperature.
Had a great experience here. Wait staff were very accommodating and knew how to handle allergens
Had the chicken fried rice and the sweet and sour chicken. It was so good!! They serve their gluten free dishes on square plates, felt very safe and it’s been an hour since eating and I don’t feel sick at all. Highly recommend :)
They have a separate menu for gluten-free and they serve gf dishes on square plates, non-gf are served on round. The sweet and sour chicken was delicious! It’s so rare to find gf battered and fried food, and this was really good!
I love Chinese food and had not eaten it in years. I tried the general Tso’s chicken, buddhas delight and the Thai basil. All were very good. General Tsos was the highlight! I am very sensitive and had no reaction.
Best GF Chinese food I’ve had. Sesame chicken and chicken and broccoli were amazing
So yummy! A whole gluten free menu with so much to choose from, nice to feel safe while eating sushi and mains
Terrific expansive gluten free menu (yellow color to distinguish it from the regular menu). Had the sesame chicken, very tasty. Highly recommend!
So good. I still dream about the sweet and sour chicken. Infact I consider making the trek all the way downtown just for it frequently. Safe and large menu!
the best gluten free sweet and sour chicken!!!! really pricey but so worth it!! and so many gf options its unreal!
We came on a Saturday for lunch so it was not busy. It had a great gluten free menu, with some Asian food selections that are hard to find where we are from. We had gluten free sesame chicken, chicken noodle soup, miso soup, and fried rice.
Kids have celiac but are not highly symptomatic, so I don’t rate for safety.
The best sesame chicken i’ve ever had. Truly wonderful. Recommend.
I had an awesome dinner at Wei West! They have a separate GF menu and they specify on the menu that GF dishes are served on square plates, so I felt confident that they knew what they were doing. I had crispy sesame chicken with plain white rice and it was a huge portion and was very delicious! I had to take half of it back to the hotel with me. Service was very fast. I was dining by myself and was probably there for only about 45 minutes, start to finish.
It’s so hard to find GF Chinese food, so I just had to eat here on a recent trip to NYC. I got the cucumber sushi and my husband and I split the sesame chicken, both from the gluten free menu. They were both excellent! I’m very sensitive to gluten, and I felt great afterwards; no issues at all.
I have been here before - and my stomach hurt immediately after eating. I thought it was just msg or eating fried foods I’m not used to. But tonight I tested with my Nima sensor and it sadly said gluten found :( sad
So yummy! Wonderful to have a vast gluten free Asian menu to choose from. We tried 8 dishes between 6 people and it was all delicious.
So good! I had the crispy calamari salad and the Thai basil shrimp specialty dish- delightful!! Highly recommend.
You MUST eat here! The BEST food! And square plates ensures you get gluten free! We had chicken satay for an appetizer and sweet & sour chicken and crispy sesame chicken for our entrees! Great staff, beautiful restaurant and fabulous food! Thank you!
Great food and lots of gluten-free options. I’ve never gotten sick from their food. They have a gluten-free menu.
Great Chinese food, gf dishes are served of square plates so you can be sure you've got the right dishes
Delicious! Felt very safe and did not get sick! Will be back.
Yum! What an experience to have Chinese like we used to! Sesame chicken and orange chicken were sooo good!!
This is the only place I’ve seen that includes their sushi items on the gf menu which is such a time saver! The food came clearly marked as gf. The only bummer was more my fault than the staffs- I forgot to ask for gf soy and with traveling don’t have any handy. So be sure to ask! The food was good, I liked the sushi better than I did the general tso gf meal but I’m hoping we can go back before we leave to have more sushi and try the gf sesame chicken. Really loving good Chinese takeout meals I don’t have to cook at home!
SO AMAZING! So much available GF, and they were so attentive to my needs. I loved the sesame chicken and fresh spring rolls!
We had beef fried rice and Kung pao chicken. Food was excellent. Large GF menu with lots of choices. Service waa attentive. It is a smaller space and google maps did not have the best directions, its down an alley of sorts with shake shack on the corner.
SO YUMMY! Separate and expansive gf menu available, basically everything you’d want out of a Chinese takeout spot is made gluten free. I tried the crispy sesame chicken, dry sautéed string beans, and the Singapore noodles. All were fantastic!
First time. Takeout. Got the general tso's and pad thai. Gen Tso's tasty but no veggies in it. Next time I would order more veggies on side. Pad thai was not very flavorful at all. Really did not taste like pad thai at all.
Unfortunately something did make me bloat up pretty bad, so I feel like I got a little cc. Bummer.
This was some of the best Asian I have had in NYC! The sesame chicken was amazing! I also had the General Tso’s Chicken! I was with my partner who is not gluten free and they said it was amazing!
