Top 50 Gluten-Free Asian Dining Spots Across Washington

Marissa Young

Food was delicious and the staff was so kind! I love that it is 100% gluten free (but you can’t even tell!)

Great food, gluten free, vegan options, good environment, will visit again!

Blair Egan

Great food, all gluten free (I have celiac disease, and this takes away all stress over cross contamination), and casual. It is an easy place to stop at and get a good meal that doesn’t weigh you down but satisfies you at the same time.

Went here with a group. I had a small dog and it was raining. Couldn’t eat indoors so we ate outside and it was freezing. The heat lamp took a while to work and it was still freezing. The food was good. Vegan and gluten free options. The vegan Laing was good. Staff was nice. Just wish we could’ve eaten inside. Otherwise the food was good. Will come back another time. The staff was helpful with question. Our server made suggestions and ate the food on the menu which was helpful. I want to suggest the bigger heat lamps and not the hanging ones. Price was comparable to food in New York. Decent portions that you can share. Will be willing to try other things next time.

Ordered take out and the restaurant manager was so helpful with dietary restrictions (celiac: gluten free). Everything we had was so delicious- very fresh flavors and great combinations of flavors. Will definitely be a repeat customer

I’ve been to multiple locations based on various places I’ve lived in the DMV area, and each one has been great. I came here when I needed a last minute dinner, and just like all the other locations, the employees are chill, the food is fresh and delicious, and there are plenty of options from the build your own bowl, ordering ones they already have on their menu, or even their version of a burrito made with seaweed instead of a tortilla. A big plus for me is that everything is gluten free. As some with celiac disease, and has very violent and severe reactions from the smallest amount of cross contamination, places like SEOULSPICE is a gem. I’ve only been able to find locations in the DMV area, so I certainly don’t take it for granted. It is far more safe for me to eat here, and if you like the build your own bowl experience and are willing to try something new, I’d say it is significantly better than Chipotle. If you are vegetarian, I would ask questions about how they prepare their tofu (whether or not it is prepared separately from the meat protein options). They have 7 veggie options (you can choose as many as you want) but I would check their online menu to make sure you like the options they have. They also have toppings that are all vegetarian, and they have add-ons, one of which is avocado if you like it or want an add-on. There are more options with drinks and even individually packaged gluten free cookies (at least at all the locations I’ve been to) It’s safe to say this is my go-to.

To preface, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease close to 20 years ago when I was 5 years old. I'm used to my options being limited or nonexistent when I go out to eat with friends, especially when it comes to Korean food. (Curse you soy sauce!!!) Also to preface, my friends and I were in town for the StrayKids concert yesterday. The entire day of the concert, all I'd had to eat was a packet of microwave 90 second rice, and a couple protein bars that I had packed ahead of time in my suitcase just in case. Needless to say, I was starving and in desperate need of some good food when we got going this morning. A search entry for "gf food near me" in Google maps popped up with a few options near the hotel we were staying at including SeoulSpice. When I saw it was Korean food I was expecting maybe a couple things that could be modified to make them somewhat safe. Boy was I wrong. 😆 When I tell you I audibly gasped and startled my friends when I saw the words, "100% Gluten Free" on the website, I'm not lying. And the food? Did NOT disappoint. 🙌 I got a little bit of basically everything in my bowl and Debbie piled it so high the lid barely fit on the take out container. And its not just the portion sizes about SeoulSpice that are incredibly large, their hearts are too. When I told Debbie how long I'd been gluten free, and that I was unaccustomed to having options out and about so was very overwhelmed, she walked me through every ingredient and option behind the counter and offered suggestions about some of her favorite combos, too. Also! Because we were the only ones there (we got there right when they opened) Debbie let me try each of the sauces so I could make a more informed decision for my bowl topping and pointed out when I was checking out that there were also Gluten-free cookies like chocolate chip and red velvet (which was so good by the way). The only thing I would say needs improvement is the door is incredibly heavy. 🤣 Careful not to throw your back out trying to get in the door to reach the food that tastes like the mana of the gods and kind, understanding faces like Debbie that reside within. The breakdown! The prices: 10/10 -Reasonable and affordable The food: 100/10 -Huge portions and Delicious! The people: 1000/10 -Incredibly kind and helpful Thank you, for the delicious food and for helping me feel accepted for who I was and what I live and struggle with everyday. Basically... Thank you for helping me feel normal, Debbie and the SeoulSpice crew. When I'm back in town this way be assured I will come back as frequently as I can during my stay . I hope y'all have a nice day! And I hope everyone who reads this gives them a try. They're worth it.😊

Everything here is fresh and delicious. So efficient and comfortable, and everyone who works here is so nice. Great place to work during the day or grab a meal with friends. So many options if you have a crowd with different preferences/restrictions and accommodates allergies (like gluten). Love!

Alyssa Woods

The menu is well marked for allergies. I order takeout and come here fairly often and never get sick as a symptomatic celiac.

Stephanie Willcox

Service was excellent - I have Celiac and the waiter knew the difference between being gluten free and celiac immediately noted that the fried items are cross contaminated. Very knowledgeable about the wine list. Excellent Indian food! Some of the moistest boneless chicken tandoori I’ve had! Will come back!

After 3 days of hiking all over the District of Columbia we found ourselves in the dim, cool confines of Absolute Noodle and sushi. Wonderfully friendly staff seated and took care of us throughout the visit. Plenty of gluten-free options, I opted for the choo chee salmon, which was delicious. My wife got the crispy chicken basil and said it was the best version of the dish she's ever had. Our daughter practically inhaled the sushi.

Words cannot describe how blown away I was at the flavor of this food! Each dish felt like it was made personally just for me, which matched the way that the staff made me feel with their care and service. As a gluten free person, I also felt totally safe here!

Peter Shir

This is a really neat place. Came with a group of people of very diverse dietary needs and tastes during lunch and everyone got something they loved, those who eat vegan, those who do gluten-free and those who are dairy-free, and it was all tasty. Great noodles and sauces. Plus the people who run the place had a good attitude and simply aimed to serve us. Great choice if you want fresh and custom!

I had a delicious meal here this weekend. They have a gluten free menu and it is much more limited than their regular menu but there were still very tasty options. I had the winter salad, the kimchi jjigae and the 30 day kimchi side. It was delicious! I also enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Fun place!

Galina Ioffe

Me and my daughter had dinner at this restaurant yesterday. I am very sensitive to spices and usually do not go to Indian places but my daughter convinced me to go. What a lovely experience we had. The waiter was very attentive and gave me very good recommendations, the food was delicious, flavorful, the service was impeccable. It's a little overpriced but the atmosphere and attention to details do justify it. I highly recommend this gem restaurant even to cautious and gluten free people ( like me)!

Was just told they so severely can't accommodate food allergies or celiac we were asked to leave.

Teona Goderdzishvili

They serve a tiny piece of salmon, raw broccoli, and cold sweet potato and rice in a bento box—for $17, before tax and tip. Not worth it. The matcha is only available sweetened, which defeats the point. Also, don’t expect gluten free options. Save your money and go somewhere that doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.

julie penner

Good pad Thai. They noted my need for gluten free (I’m celiac). Garden rolls were good too. Nice outdoor seating in good weather.

Leah C

This was my third time at O-Ku and they did not disappoint. Our waitress was so nice and helpful with our gluten free diet. She made sure to check with the kitchen several times on items. My friend and I ordered cocktails and special sushi rolls that had Happy Hour prices (5-7pm!), along with the chicken karaage which is my FAVORITE. Seriously, I would order that item ten times over. Their ubi brownie for dessert was great, too, though I wish it was bigger tbh. They have gluten free items and separate menu which is perfect.

Kate Mitchell

We celebrated a friend's birthday here and everything was so delicious. We were especially grateful for how thoughtful and helpful the staff was for my friend's gluten allergy (she is celiac). Great spot for anyone, but definitely gluten-free friendly :)

Loved this dining experience! Nigiri was perfect and room temp, which made it melt in your mouth. We got the panna cotta dessert at the end, too, which was the perfect amount. All gluten-free! Chefs were lovely ☺️

Jenne Acevedo

Good GF chicken pad Thai with some gluten free options on the menu. A few GF appetizers and entrees. While I liked my meal, it had a fishy taste to it, which I found odd, but not at all bad. The regular pad Thai on the menu is with shrimp, so I wondered if that might be why. This little place is next to CityCenter. Great location.

I had an incredible dining experience at Dear Sushi inside Love, Makoto. The sushi and sashimi were absolutely top-tier—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The wagyu hot stone steak was another highlight: incredibly tender, cooked to perfection, and served in a way that added a fun interactive element to the meal. I also appreciated that they offered gluten-free friendly options, which made the experience even more enjoyable and inclusive. The ambiance is sleek and modern, matching the high-end dining experience. Expect to spend over $100 per person, but the quality of the food and overall experience make it well worth the splurge. Highly recommend for a special night out or for any sushi lover in DC.

Chris Kellett

Gluten free options available here! Authentic Thai and worth the walk from the metro! The Panang Curry with chicken was delicious and lots of chicken.

Katie Gantley

Great gluten free labeling on the menu and options! We get dinner here every other Sunday. Highly recommend!

Joshua Trinidad

Delicious! The gluten free fried cauliflower and fried chicken are amazing. Everything was seasoned really well and fresh.

Mike Woodward

Great affordable sushi! They also have gluten free soy sauce, and the waiters are very knowledgeable about which rolls are gf, etc.

Nene Lisa

This place is lovely. Quaint, quiet and intimate. My friends and I had brunch here. We each ordered a different dish so that we could share and try something different. Everything was delicious! The gluten-free injera was so authentic and flavorful with the Ethiopian veggie platter. Our sushi was fresh and the Gyudan and Japanese curry accompanied with salad and miso soup was all soo yummy. Oh, and you have to try the mango smoothie...yum yum. The service was wholesome- like being at your grandma's house for dinner. I definitely recommend this place.

We have in the past had several great experiences at restaurant. My wife, who has a gluten allergy, and I had made a reservation many weeks in advance for a dinner event last weekend. I noted her gluten allergy on the reservation. A member of the restaurant staff called me two hours before our Saturday night reservation to advise that they could not accommodate us with the allergy -- without any concern or regard for the lack of notice and the impact this would have on our dinner plans. I spoke to a manager who also offered no help at all. I wrote to the restaurant's management via the web site and they never responded. It was all very poorly handled. We will not be going there again.

Julianna Greenberg

Fantastic food, went with a Vegan and Gluten-free friend and she had several options to choose from. We both loved everything we ate!
