This is a home styleChinese restaurant. Service was outstanding and the staff were very attentive and kept asking us if everything was ok. There is a separate gluten-free menu and the choice is reasonable. The main menu is not extensive but covers the usual dishes.
I was slightly disappointed in the quality. The gluten free lemon chicken was lacking in sufficient lemon taste but the chicken breast was great. The non coeliac meat dish was very tasty yet overpowered by the use of too much starch in the sauce. Spring rolls were did not contain enough filling. The oil in which they were fried was perhaps not hot enough. The hot and sour soup contained chicken and shrimps and was tasty, although the thickening starch was a bit too much.
Overall, excellent service and great for coeliacs who very rarely get the chance to eat Chinese food. Highly recommended.

The service and food at Pho is outstanding. My partner and I are coeliac and can struggle to feel comfortable eating out. Our server was informative, friendly and enabled us to have a a thoroughly relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Wonderful South Indian food served by delightful, attentive, waiters.
I am not gluten intolerant but there is a distinct difference between this and other Indian restaurants. The meal does not weigh heavy afterwards. It’s very noticeable.
Try the salty lassi (lusi) and the paper dosa. It’s easy to over order but the waiters offer to bag the leftovers.
Just go. You’ll love it.
We went here earlier today 15/06/25 and it was really nice. Hubby is gluten free and most of the menu is coeliac friendly which is fab. Portions are good and a good selection on the menu - quite a lot of chilli so if you are not a fan choose wisely.
Staff lovely- we were served by Eileen who was very helpful and friendly and knowledgeable of any dietary requirements.
My only one issue is that it was really chilly - make sure you have a jumper/ jacket even if it is 18 degrees outside.
Thanks Pho- we will be back. Restuarants like this deserve return custom x
Best gluten free and vegan option. We are vegan and we know we will find great options. My spouse is coeliac and we always enjoy eating extremely tasty food. We had the green pho soup-delicious and the lunch special with the curry dish-delicious too. Shirley and Rory were our helpful and friendly servers today.

Owen was fantastic with us. After recently being diagnosed with Coeliac disease he assured me of all the safety protocols that are in place at Pho, and took the time to go through the menu with me.
The food was lovely! First time eating at Pho, and certainly won’t be the last!!
The food at Pho is always amazing! I am a Coeliac and this is the one place I feel 100% safe! The staff are very knowledgeable about the food and the atmosphere is always a vibe! Our servers, Rebecca and Ranjeet were also very nice!
Fantastic selection of gluten-free options, with only a few non-GF items on the menu. The staff is well-informed about gluten allergies and Coeliac disease. They also have gluten free beer (Daura).

Huge portion, had half left, and took it home. Definitely needs some of the spice provided on the side. Being able to customize the pho is really cool.
The summer rolls are good! Would definitely get those again.
Gluten free and halal options!
Signature mojito is pretty standard, Kind of strong.
Staff were so friendly, explained what everything is and how it's used etc.
Great food, mother in law is coeliac and we’re all just so amazed how she can eat everything but the spring rolls! Great service food came out so fast!!
Very good service. Attentive when I told them I was gluten free/Coeliac. Very funny when he basically cut my friend’s food up also.. he didn’t know what to do

Absolutely sublime experience eating at Pho tonight.
Ivy was our waiter and she looked after us beautifully. She was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable about the food and gluten free options.
Pho is Coeliac accredited and the choice of foods were immense.
Nothing was too much trouble and the food, service and atmosphere couldn’t be faulted.
Will definitely revisit.

Good value and decent food compared to restaurants nearby. Seating is allocated quickly even though there is a line, as food is pumped out super quick.
10-15 min waiting in peak 7:30 time on a Saturday.
Has a gluten free menu which is useful
can’t believe how flavourful they made just chicken and rice! high praise for vegetable gyoza from my friend too and it was great to see lots of gluten free options available! definitely would come again, the courtyard seating is lovely in the sun and the staff were friendly.
Capo Lounge is a must visit in Mansfield. They are part of a chain of “Lounges” which always provides a great menu. We have visited the Capo Lounge many times for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, and every time the food is perfect. The menu is varied and caters very well for allergens. We have visited with people eating from the vegan and gluten free menus who said the food was tasty and didn’t feel limiting like other places
The drinks are equally as good with a great selection of coffees, teas, soft drinks, beers and cocktails.
The restaurant is well decorated, with a quirky style, and different options for tables or armchairs.
Pho Cheltenham offers a brilliant setting in a lovely location, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.
The food is consistently praised as brilliant, fresh, and packed with flavor, with great portion sizes and speedy service.
A standout feature is that about 98% of the menu is gluten free, making it an excellent choice for coeliac diners. The restaurant is accredited by Coeliac UK and staff are knowledgeable and proactive about allergies, ensuring a safe and worry-free experience for those with gluten intolerance, including children.
The menu includes a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes like pho, curries, the amazing rice bowls, and fresh rolls, with many vegan and dairy-free options as well.
I would highly recommend Pho Cheltenham for its delicious, healthy food, excellent service, and outstanding gluten-free options.
The best Chinese I’ve had in a long time, and all gluten free! The staff were so helpful and friendly. Portion sizes were huge and we even got free crackers and free portions of fresh fruit. 10/10. Will definitely be returning
I eat takeaway here most weeks and the food is so beautiful. I went in for a meal with friends and just wow. I was able to try a wide range of amazing gluten free starters, mains and deserts with wonderful decaf coffee. The only thing better than the food is the staff. You are made to feel so welcome and cared for. Now planning our next visit.

Mr chans is perfect in every way, the staff are lovely and helpful and they have so many gluten free/vegan options all of which is unbelievable! My favourite restaurant in St Helens
Really grateful for gluten free options, which can be so tough to find in airports! There was a dedicated gluten free menu and staff took my concerns about cross contamination seriously. A good option for those with coeliac. Food takes longer to prepare if you have a dietary requirement so just budget extra time.
Fabulous menu, especially as whole menu is gluten & dairy free (which i am). Food was incredible. Service was a little slow, we also had to move tables. Would definitely go back again.
I've been meaning to come here for a while and it was so worth it!
The atmosphere is really chill and cozy and the staff are so nice - the lady greeting us was so kind and had such a bright smile on her face, she made us feel so welcome!
I have coeliac disease so eating Korean food can be difficult. It means a lot to me that there's a Korean place that has a whole separate gluten free menu and really tries hard to make the gluten free versions taste amazing - especially ones that are more difficult and that a lot of restaurants don't bother with, like deep fried dishes! It made me feel like I was safe and like I could eat there confidently.
All the food was amazing! For my main dish I had Yuk Gae Jang, which I wanted to taste for a long long time, and it was so good! I love red food! The flavour was so beefy and rich, it even reminded me of home cooked beef dishes from my own country :)
My friend had chicken katsu and squid rings which I tried as well, and can definitely say the gluten free batter is delicious and amazingly crispy!
I will definitely be back and will bring everyone I know here - thank you so much for letting me have delicious Korean food despite my condition 🙏
Always a friendly welcome. Great food and a selection of tasty beers and ciders. The ramen is amazing, and there is a great selection of tasty added items. Meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans are all well catered for as well as good gluten-free choices. The staff are lovely and also knowledgeable. You can also choose to eat off the Burger Shop menu. Dog friendly on the covered outside tables.
Mine and my husband first time trying Vietmanese food and me being a coeliac with most of their menu being GF was great! Every single member of staff was so so friendly - our server was Gowtham and he was great. Highly recommend xx
Amazing first visit to Rainbow 88. I rang them before we visited as my husband is gluten intolerant, dairy intolerant, egg intolerant and soya intolerant and wanted to make sure they could accommodate us. They were brilliant they went through everything with us before he chose his meal and for the first time in years we felt comfortable and confident having a meal there. I can’t thank them enough .
Celiac friendly
