This place is fantastic. I have celiac and a wheat/oat allergy and the staff was knowledgeable about all allergens for menu items. I had no bad reactions to the food afterward. The food is delicious too - I'm an omnivore who eats vegan/vegetarian a decent amount. It stands amongst some of my favorite restaurants ever (non vegan included). Did not think it being vegan detracted from flavor whatsoever. Highly recommend, especially if you have gluten sensitivity.

Upon entering for dinner my party of four were immediately greeted and sat. The lighting was dim, there was still some Christmas decor up. There were families and couples. The staff were neatly dressed to match and very kind and attentive. Our drinks came immediately. There were Thai Iced Teas everywhere but I opted for a hot green tea. I saw the Esarn Classic had a meat choice of “Crying Tiger” (marinated steak) which I always get at any Thai place that offers it. It’s my favorite. But I also love duck. Both dishes are more common at restaurants in SoCal than places in Washington state so I have to take advantage. Someone in my party got the Crying Tiger which I tried and recommend. I added a photo of that dish as well. I ordered the “Duck Three Ways” which I couldn’t find on the online menu to add to this review, unfortunately. But it was divine. It is a gluten free dish that comes with three sauces: a spicy lemon-grass, sweet chili, and tamarind. They were all so flavorful and amazing. The duck was on the bone but abundantly meaty. The skin was crispy and salty while the inside was slightly tough but juicy. The vegetables were bright and added great color and texture. Each sauce complimented the duck so well. The spicy lemongrass (see photo top left) was my favorite. I loaded the pulp on and could put that on pork, steak, chicken, or fish; anything. The sweet chili (top middle) was made in house similar to the bottled but the flavor was more intense the sauce was also less dense and gelatinous which I preferred. The tamarind reminded me of the plum sauce I would normally get with duck just more tang and less floral. It was slightly sweet and what I would compare more to a variation of hoisin. If it had more garlic I might have taken it home with me. But I actually enjoyed it more with the vegetables. Aside from parking, my experience was definitely satisfying and complete. I recommend this place.

Diamond in the rough An absolute, dialed in celiac safe experience. The chicken is gluten free and provides a superior crunch to its counterpart. Sauce spice levels are very tame , you can handle Satan's kiss just fine as a nice medium heat. All flavors are sweet and savory with a slight acidic tang, the profiles are a solid catch all experience. I hope those who visit also enjoy, and leave an honest review.

My experience here is probably an outlier but it was a disaster and celiacs and people with severe allergies should know about it. I identified as celiac, sat at the bar, and everything seemed great. Had multiple conversations with our two waiters and the two chefs in front of us about how everything was gluten free except the rib eye sandwich and how important that was to the chef. We ordered a bunch of stuff including Anago nigiri. I talked to the chef in front of me about how eel is usually marinated in a sauce with gluten and how excited I was to eat it again after so many years. I ate the nigiri and a few mins later a manager came by to say they had canceled my Anago order because it was not actually gluten free. As you can imagine this was a very bad scenario for me. We left the restaurant and I did get sick shortly thereafter. As we were leaving it was apparent the manager and waiter were absolutely mortified. They did everything you would expect: apologized, comped meal, even offered to pay for medical bills, practically begged for another chance. But obviously it was too late. I understand as a celiac I take a risk eating out even in high end places that cater to a food safety experience. Ultimately the responsibility lies with me but so many employees did not know such a basic thing on a menu where apparently only two items contain gluten that it is impossible not to be disappointed and question what the breakdown is. Plenty of other restaurants not putting on the “show” of caring actually get it right. I cannot eat here again and would not recommend anyone with a serious illness or allergy ever trust them. That’s just my experience but it was the worst kind of one.
