Gluten-Free at bd's Mongolian Grill

Why does this restaurant come up as a choice on the gluten free app while it states there is no gluten free menu?

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

Not confidence inspiring at all. The new girl working the allergy station did not take my requests serious at all. I have been to other locations that were great. I specifically asked that they get rice noodles from the back to avoid cross contamination and I watched her grab directly from the cross contaminated line. When I asked about it I was told it will be fine. I sat and watched my family eat and asked for my meal to be taken off the bill. Very disappointing and not worth the risk. Bathrooms are also disgusting, the floor and our table are sticky. Will never return to this location.

I have eaten here for years and I have gotten glutened for the first time after being under new management. There is a separate allergy counter, but allergies are not taken seriously. No longer recommend eating here.

Not safe. Busy buffet trough. It was difficult to find something not obviously cross contaminated from spill overs. They took my “safe” bowl to the back to cook, saying they would bring it to my table. After my dining companions finished eating their bowls, I went looking for my food. Someone found it in the back “just finished”. Cold. Not worth eating. Let alone worth $17 per person.

We used to eat here ALL THE TIME. Like once a week. We would make a bowl at the allergy counter and everything was fine. We went yesterday and they had made a lot of changes. There was still an allergy counter. Apparently they aren’t keeping the same safety practices at the allergy counter because my fiancé got pretty sick. Very disappointing as this was a go to spot.

I had them cook it in the allergen area in the back and let them know I was allergic to gluten, but my food still came back with items I didn't add to my bowl!

I will not eat here.

This spot is so tasty! Everything is clearly marked and there’s a separate kitchen. There are signs and the staff seems to care. I was worried about sauces splattering but I did ok. I got two bowls with steak shrimp scallops water chestnuts you name it. So yummy. Our waiter Lawrence was great too.

BD's never disappoints us. You make your own dish - so if it tastes bad it is on you.

BD's buffet area has always been clean and each item well marked showing if it is GF. For the most part you have to only be concerned on the sauces that you choose - but they are clearly marked.

When they are cooking your dish. You have 2 choices: First tell the person at the grill that you have a Gluten Allergy. He will ask you if you would like them to clean your section of the grill really good or have your food cooked in the kitchen on their allergy grill. I have always picked them to cook it in the kitchen.

You have a choice of white or brown rice at the table. If you don't feel comfortable sharing with the table they will bring you your own bowl.

The service is always great and so is the food .

I have eaten here many many times the past 14ish years and I have never gotten sick!!

Easy order online. I’m very sensitive to gluten but with mentioning I’m gluten free and having gluten free options, I didn’t get sick.

The staff was helpful and the manager came and double checked what was safe for me. They gave me a piece of paper and I wrote all the ingredients I wanted in my meal and they made if for me with fresh stuff from the back (including gluten free soy sauce). However, even though they were super careful, I still got sick. I think that I am becoming more sensitive to soy, but it felt like gluten sick, so I’m not sure!

Celiac friendly?

No

They were able to cook the food in the back so that we avoided cross contamination. The service was nice and knowledgeable. But all of my party got food poisoning. The meat was uncooked and disgusting. It is safe in terms of gluten but not in general. It is a very cool place and they cook your food in front of you but beware of the risk.

Great place to eat. Separate kitchen for cooking. Lots of information on their products.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I marked Celiac friendly because they handle ‘allergies’ well by cooking in the back with a clean pan. But picking ingredients is buffet style. The main problem is from sauces dripping into the gluten free sauces. But you don’t have to pick a sauce. There are dry spices that can be added for extra flavor.

That said we arrived before the dinner rush and I tried the two gluten free sauces as the area looked completely clean. But by my third bowl sauces had been dropped everywhere so I didn’t have a sauce but picked some spices. Still good but much better with sauce.

Food was really good and it’s all you can eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is horrible! You would think for being a place that offers so many gluten-free options that it would be really good but it isn't. They have a separate allergy section for people who have food allergies where they cook food in a small pan. They can only cook two at a time so it takes forever to get your food and the staff is extremely rude. Anytime you talk to anyone on the staff they treat you like you are dirt. The food and itself when you order carryout seems to be cross-contaminated and they don't even put in what you order. The last time we got carry out from this place they filled the box with 90% rice to cover up the fact that they didn't put anything else in the bowl. The bowl in itself tasted like chlorine and the staff was extremely rude. A short time earlier we took my mom there for her birthday and one of the waiters That was supposed to wait on us said he didn't want our table and pushed us off on somebody else because he wanted to sit at the bar and talk to his friends. On that same experience we had three people who had allergies and because they only cook 2 at a time in a small frying pan it probably about 40 minutes to get our food and those without food allergies had cold food by the time we were all seated at the table. Our waiter very seldom came to check on us and had an attitude. Everyone they have as a Hostess it seems is rude, arrogant and clearly doesn't want to be there. This used to be a really great place but with the staff being so rude and lazy it's just gone down really bad. I wouldn't recommend it.

I really like this place, but the last time I was there I got glutened somehow. I did the separate grill and gf ingredients, so I’m not sure what happened. I will give them another try but be cautious.

Front desk & wait staff very knowledgeable about gluten free needs. Clearly marked ingredients and sauces that are gluten free. Cooked my meal separately & provided separate rice & tamari.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They label gluten free and they cook food in a completely different area. You may have to ask for some non-contaminated food from the buffet (noodles are right next to some other food), but they have always been very helpful. Food is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

great service, clean but NOT celiac friendly. They cooked my food separately in the back and gave me sauces from the back but I got terribly ill anyway. :(

Celiac friendly?

No

I like the Canton location much better as they have a separate cooking station visible inthe main room. I didn't know this location had a separate station in the back. I was nervous I would be sick as I had them cook on the regular grill.

Love this place. Have gone a dozen times and never had an issue. They have a dedicated cooking space with separate pans for allergy cooking, where they ask what your allergies are and ask if olive oil is ok to cook your food with. The sauces are labeled if they are gluten free/vegetarian. They will ask if you want tortillas, white rice, brown rice, and/or lettuce wraps brought to the table. I get the rice and the lettuce wraps. I believe their soy sauce on the table is gluten free, I can't remember as I don't eat soy. Included in your meal price is the soup/salad bar, and last time i visited both soups were labeled gluten free, and delicious. The meal can seem pricey but it includes a lot of food if you fill up your stir fry bowl, and eat the salad and soup. I always come home with leftovers for at least a whole meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

always great food and service. definitely need to be careful about what foods you choose because there's a risk of cross contamination but as long as you avoid noodles, imitation crab, and any of the surrounding foods to those options (because stuff drops out) then you're golden. they'll cook it in a separate fryer in the back too.

Got sick shortly after eating here

Everything is label that is gluten free. They do have gluten free noodles. Makes sure you tell them at the grill you have a gluten allergy and they will clean the grill and put dividers up for your food. I have ate here many times and never had an issue.

Not dedicated gluten free and there is always to possibility of cross contamination of ingredients at the ingredient bar, but they have fresh meats and vegetables and several GF sauce options. You can tell your server or the grill cook you cannot have gluten and they will cook your food in a clean wok in the kitchen. I have eaten here and at the Toledo and Ann Arbor locations and have not been glutened.

Celiac friendly?

No

This is cross contamination city. You WILL get glutened here because of the way the food is stored. Teriyaki with gluten right next to it gluten free sauce. BEWARE!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

can eat here safely have them grill it in the back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are not careful what so ever for gluten intolerant or Celiac disease. I have Celiac and i did not want to chance it. Cross contamination is going to happen or has happen for others. A depressing place for gluten intolerant and celiac disease population.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very helpful staff, and celiac friendly. They prepare allergy bowls on a completely separate cooking surface in the back, not on the main grill. Good selection of meats and vegetables to choose from.

Two things that keep me from giving them a 5-star. First, very limited selection of GF sauces, and the GF sauces they did have were somewhat unusual. None of them were made with GF soy sauce as far as I could tell. Second, they couldn't tell me which of the seasonings (spices/salts/peppers/etc.) were GF, so I didn't use any of them. Because of these two issues, my bowls came out tasting pretty bland. But BD's might be right up your alley if you're GF and don't like spicy food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly but not a ton of options when it comes to sauces.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super nice staff! They will cook your food separately! If you are just sensitive like I am they will give you the option to cook it in back or they will clean the grill very well and put in dividers. I went for the grill and watched them the whole time. They were very careful even using separate utensils!

This place is a disaster waiting to happen. Actually eating there was a disaster. Cross contamination galore. The gluten free sauces are next to and/or in front of non-gf sauces. So who knows what was dropped in each sauce!!?? The salad bar was the same. Croutons by the lettuce and other fresh veggies. The soup, which is included with the meal along with the salad, was not gluten free. The place was disorganized and chaotic, but it was a Saturday night. I'm doubled over in pain now. If you go BEWARE.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was a bit skeptical of the whole thing when I first arrived. But after talking to the chef in the allergy area, I felt pretty comfortable with the separate cooking area. The buffet prep area gets pretty hectic and sloppy, so that could be an issue.

Nasty, dirty, dedicated allergy area absolutely not even if the sign above the area says so, the considerations for cross contamination are no where to be found at the buffet area or cooking area. My husband and I ending up with the worse headaches 1 hour after we left and my digestion system hasn't recovered yet and it's been weeks. I will never ever eat there again and I warn everyone even those with no allergies to stay away just because of the filth. Need proof take a stroll through there. Can't believe this place isn't on a health inspectors list.

Celiac friendly?

No

Dedicated allergy cooking center. Soups that day were not GF. They have four sauces that are GF. No appetizers but the salad was largely ok. They do sell GF cider. Overall a good safe choice and I will be coming back.

Yummilicious!! A complete allergy cooking station? Wow.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One grill is used for all food but there is a gluten free sauce list along with allergy free cooking and vegetarian options

This is an excellent restaurant that is very allergy friendly. It's a "fix it yourself" kind of buffet where you can pick different things to throw into a stir-fry. All you have to do is tell your server that you have an allergy and they will give you an allergy ticket. They have some gluten free sauces up there and all you have to do is read the stickers. When you get all of your food, you go up to the grill and hand them your food, sauce, and especially the allergy ticket. Then they will take it in the back and cook it for you so that you don't have to worry about cross contamination with the foods on the front grill. I don't know for sure if it's Celiac friendly or not, but they take food allergies or special diets very seriously there, so I would ask.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had delicious chicken, rice noodles, and veggies in a lemon sauce! They got all my ingredients from the back to avoid cross-contamination and made it in the Allergy Zone, a separate kitchen space for cooking allergy dishes. Will def come back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very helpful and friendly. They have an allergy zone for allergies and food is cooked separately. We let the manager Matt know of the allergy when we came in. They let us pick out the meats, sauces and spices we wanted first and then got everything fresh from the back to avoid cross contamination. Rice noodles were cooked well. Create your own gf Mongolian dish! Gf beers and drinks too.

So much cross contamination we left!! Staff wasn't knowledgable about gf options and didn't Have anyone to ask!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sauces marked as gluten-free. Will cook food separate to not cross contaminate. Very accommodating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Says GF, but it's not. Lots of cross contamination. Messy meat and veggie bars, menus and table tents had sauce left on them from previous diners. over from

Celiac friendly?

No
