Top 50 Gluten-Free Asian Havens to Explore in New York City

Ava Weinstein

Absolutely incredible food here and very accommodating. They have a lengthy gluten free menu in addition to their regular menu. The food is delicious for those who have restrictions and those who don’t. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating.

I loved dining here. The food is fresh and delicious. The use of real wasabi is perfect in the rolls. They are the best hand rolls I’ve had so far. Entire menu is gluten free. They offer a gluten free beer! Service was wonderful. Love the ambiance inside, and they offer a little patio area first come first serve. Definitely try to make a reservation!

By no doubt highly recommend if you are in the area. Very safe for allergies, fully gluten free. All the food was fresh and every bite surprised me more than it was before. Usually I am not a big fan of raw fish and sushi but this place really opened my mind to explore more! Sitting at the bar and not the table really made the experience more special.

Wow the food was amazing I have coeliac disease and find it hard to have a Chinese cuisine in the UK everything we ordered was delicious. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovley and calm. Happy hour was on too with a good selection of Beer, wine and cocktails we had the lychee cocktail was delicious definitely worth visiting

This place was truly five stars from start to finish. They were having some issues with their online ordering portal. I called and spoke to a gentleman who is very nice. Took my order and even met me outside in my car. The food was spectacular. Everything was super fresh. It’s great that it’s gluten-free most things. Our stomachs did not feel any pain. The food was absolutely delicious and it seems like it’s great management and owners. Great find especially if you’re gluten-free Will definitely be back

Vivien Shao

delicious!! some of the best thai food in the city and gluten-free friendly!

Carina Fourmyle

Great options for vegan brunch. Although the vegan BLT was unexpectedly sweet, the quality of the food was excellent.i would return to try another vegan dish. Recommended for groups with various dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, nut free, etc). Service was great!

Greg R

Just really good food. Comforting and gluten free with good vegetarian options. Highly recommend the rice bowls. YUM!

Fantastic takeaway Thai food! Love the concept of picking your protein, base, sauce, and sides with Thai food. It’s amazing that everything is gluten free and there are also great vegetarian and vegan options. Great flavor and very fresh. Restaurant space has some stool seating, but it’s mostly to-go. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!!

Ran Brosh

Lots of gluten free options, good service and reasonable prices. But, the food is just not good enough. It's bland, some dishes are too oily and generally disappointing. I really wish I'd enjoy this vegan place better.

Esther Egwu

If I had to describe Bua Thai Ramen & Robata Grill in one word, it’d be amazing!! The food was a 10/10 and the workers were super accommodating. Halal, gluten free, and vegan options available. One of the best upper east sideWould highly recommend!!!

Julia Langeway

so fresh, so flavorful. our new fave spot. and omg: completely gluten free!!

Daniel

We’re visiting NYC and NoodleLove was a total win for our gluten-free kid! My 7-year-old with celiac loved the Korean Fried Chicken tenders — super crispy, flavorful, and completely safe. It’s rare to find gluten-free that feels this indulgent. Friendly staff, cool vibe, and a menu we’ll be dreaming about back home. Don’t miss it!

For a million dollar fried chicken investment, I am both surprised and not surprised by the quality of the dishes and the price point. Awesome decor and vibe. Service is… a bit scattered. To cut the chase, three most important things: 1️⃣ do the dinner bucket deal (no bucket for lunch) 2️⃣ the golden original is the best 3️⃣ try the green cilantro aioli (came with chicken) with the lettuce salad (part of banchan), you will thank me later We did all three flavors, and both of us agree the golden original is the best. For a gluten free fried chicken, this is insanely crispy and good: GBD, golden, brown, delicious. The chicken inside is crazy moist and juicy. The other two… I forgot their flavors but I wasn’t impressed. The sauces are: 1. Jun Verde – a creamy, citrusy green cilantroy mayo sauce. Our fav!! 2. Honey Mustard – a sweet and tangy sauce, tasted very wasabi forward. 3. Pepper Parm – savory with a peppery kick and Parmesan flavor. If you pair this with lettuce 🥗 , you get the Caesar salad. 4. Gochujang BBQ – a smoky, spicy Korean-style barbecue sauce. The most underwhelming one to my personal preferences. Chicken consommé with chives was great, both as appetizer and palate cleanser. Banchans include 1. Sweet sour radish (my Korean said it is sacrilegious not to include it with fried chicken) 2. Celery 3. Kimchi 4. Lettuce salad The perilla oil noodle it came with the set is worth noting. Even if jt costs, I would be happy paying for it. It is umami, flavorful, and cold and refreshing compared to the fried 🍗 + sauce. The finisher is a fro-yo topped with very tangy (positive way) yuzu sauce. Loved it. Came very very slow though. Definitely a steal if you can scoop a reservation and do the bucket deal. Ofc if you order other things (aka. golden bugbears etc), it won’t be much of a steal, but you get delicious food either ways.

Customer service was great. Ordered for pickup. Had the gluten free sesame chicken and general tso - both were delicious. Would go again.

Elizabeth Espada

Mindy was so helpful when suggesting delicious gluten free options. My niece felt so special when they sang to her for her birthday.

natleigh phillips

i love this place. i have celiacs disease and really enjoyed eating here on my first trip to NYC i have the ricebarry, coriander steak with the Kati special curry sauce.. the sweet potato and the cucumber salad would definitely recommend this place. 10/10

Koto Murai

the best soba i’ve ever had in my life. beautiful atmosphere and interior design. felt like a cozy, loving home. everyone was attentive. the space is fun and filled with detail, welcoming. truffle soba gluten free and delicious. i will be back many times, love. koto

Grace Park

Fun experience sitting on modified ground chairs like you can find in Asia! Food is vegan and modern, which surprised me. The food was okay! The presentation and service are great but I was not particularly impressed with the food. There is a gluten free section on the menu. Even though the other food options don’t look like they’d have any gluten, they have traces (e.g. sauce for one ingredient in mixed rice uses wheat)

Sunshine Diller

Kelly was great and food was delicious. Lots of gluten free options.

Stella Lemel

Wow! The food was amazing. Many options for vegan and gluten free.

As a gluten free girlie, this is one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in the city. I get the pad thai and it's consistently delicious. Also, the staff is always attentive but today Kade helped me and she was absolutely lovely. Kind smile, super sweet, and on point with everything! Loved it.

This place has been around the upper east side for a very long time and it never disappoints! It's definitely pricier than other Chinese places in the area but they serve higher quality food that is less greasy, less sweet, and less salty. They also serve dim sum all day. With all that being said, some of their dishes are still catered to the western palate but it is still better than other places in the area. Here are some of my favorite items from them Fried egg rolls. Their egg rolls are legit. It's giant, filling and crispy. Hot and sour soup. Very good and filling. Perfect for colder days. Walnut prawns. Very big prawns that are flavored in this nice sweet and savory white sauce with fried walnuts. Sautéed pea shoot. Very good while getting your fibers in. Shrimp with black bean sauce and mined pork. Very good and flavorful. Turnip cakes. Delicious and crispy. Chives and shrimp patty. Lots of flavor. They also have lots of gluten free options here. Service is always top notch. Overall a solid spot on the UES

Kristina Lietavova

Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly and kind people, delicious food. I have Celiac disease and couple of intolerances but they were knowledgeable about cross contamination and I felt safe eating here. I did not have any issues. I will definitely go back and I’m looking forward to it

Tessa McQueen

This is the best place to go for a warm bowl of Pho!! Delicious and gluten free!!! Love going in or ordering take out. 12/10 recommend!! Close to Broadway for a pre-show meal :)

Nathan Nelson

Best sushi I’ve ever had. The plant-based sushi was even more flavorful than non-vegan sushi. I also appreciated the gluten-free options they had because my partner has Celiac.

Ann Matthews

Emily Schlussel Markovic

Waited 45 minutes for a table despite having a reservation. Other than that, it was good. Food was flavorful and menu was well marked for dietary restrictions (eg vegetarian, gluten free etc). Service was friendly. Would return despite the table issue. They were apologetic. Favorite dishes: masaman curry (!!) and eggplant/basil. The cashew nut saute was ok.

Alexa El-Hawary

amazing gluten free options- seperate menu, BEST COCKTAILS EVER!!!

Drew Pattison

Ke the lead server was excellent. Thorough knowledge of what is gluten free (seemed like most of the menu), and even brought out the miso soup base to check some ingredients with me. Great attention to detail. Lunch prices very reasonable. Food was excellent. Overall great. Perfect service. High integrity place.

M Longhouse

Ended up doing takeout here. Candidly the Pad Thai and Red Curry were both good but not something I would go out of the way to get. Maybe we should have ordered something more interesting or dined in. Plus side, they do have gluten free options but had to lookup their online menu.

Abi Hall

Excellent food, lots of gluten free choices.

Elya Tagar

Great for celiac - savory and sweet crepes, really good and lots of fresh fruits and veggies in them.

Reeah Davis

Great gluten free options!

Jillian Cristina

I love this place! I've ordered from here countless times and the food is always incredible and the people there are so nice. I am gluten free and there are SO many options here that I can eat.

Don’t even think about it. Unless you are seeking revenge on someone, in which case you should recommend they order delivery from this place. Found this place as “(Expletive) Gluten” on DoorDash. I figured out that the business behind that name was moonbowls, and chose to order directly from them so they’d hopefully get more money. The first two times I ordered from them were kinda rough: Food tasted OK, portions were quite small, and orders were 30 minutes late. I was foolish enough to order a third time. When the order was 15 minutes late I checked their app and saw that the food hadn’t been picked up. I texted their “concierge” service, which assured me that the food was just waiting to be picked up. 30 minutes later I texted again. Silence. Tried to call, but their phone number is just a complicated menu where all options lead you back to texting them. At the 2-hour mark I texted then again, only to learn that the order still hadn’t been picked up. They tried to shift blame, saying that they made the food on time but that their “delivery partner” (read: Uber Eats) was at fault. Whatever. I cut my losses and took the refund. Will never get that 2 hours back. You’ve been warned.

The main meal was great, and it was terrific that all the sauces are GF. Kiddo was very disappointed however that they use gluten marshmallows for dessert. I thought those went the way of the dinosaur!

Sophia Formella

happened upon this spot using the FindMeGlutenFree app and WOW it was so delicious. will definitely be back!!! appetizer, entree, and dessert were A+

Paula Palladino

Hubby and I love this place. They have Gluten-free food and they are very carful. The food is amazing

Andrew Engedal

Great food! All gluten-free foods were labeled, and the staff was great about allergies

Ana QR

We ordered takeout. It was delivered very quickly. It was delicious and filling, and there were gluten-free options too. The price was good.

I had a delicious meal here (and ended with a bad dessert) I ordered the pad Thai and ginger salmon. The pad Thai was creamy and deeply flavorful. The veggies had the perfect bite while being soft and blending well with the pasta and the peanut sauce was very balanced. I’d give this dish an 8.3. The salmon was great as well but did have a slightly fishy flavor and I felt like the sauce was just put on top after rather than cooked in - 6.8. For dessert I ordered the chocolate mousse and I just did not enjoy it. There was no depth in flavor and the texture was weird. 5.1. I still desired a sweet treat so I got the blueberry chocolate chip muffin (I thought it sounded like an interesting combination) and it was the worst muffin I have ever had. Truly. It was gluten free like all their desserts and it fell apart immediately, was just so crumbly in the worst way - 3.2. The service was amazing (they even took the mousse off my bill) and it was a very nice atmosphere with great vibes! Even though I had a mixed experience, I will definitely be back!

Daniel Brindis

Great gluten free GF options- my wife loves dim sum but is gluten free so this was a great option-

Allison Mintz

Went out for dinner on a Friday night, and after a very rude manager sort of tanked the vibes of the meal, Yun was nice enough to give us a $50 credit over the phone for our next meal. Overall, I enjoyed the crazy peanuts, the mains are fair, and both our servers were lovely. Gluten free options as well. Thank you Yun for your fabulous customer service and hopefully that manager was just having an off day :)

I had my birthday brunch here this past weekend. Miro helped plan a prefixe menu for my group of 15 guests that accommodated for omnivore, gluten free, and vegetarian diets, as well as a shrimp allergy. I was in touch with him several times in the month leading up to my event as my guests confirmed or cancelled their reservations and as new dietary needs came up even up until the several days before our reservation. I was so grateful for Miro’s clear and timely communication throughout, as well as for all the accommodations he was able to make for us. The food was awesome on the day of the event — in particular we loved the five spice fried chicken and waffle dish, the spicy noodle stir fry, the imperial rolls, and the slow cooked lamb buns. We also got the papaya salad, and coconut french toast, which were also delicious. For my gluten free guests, they made gluten free vietnamese crepe. 💕 My group was extremely well fed, the backyard ambience was relaxed and leisurely, and service was great. Price was $50 per person, not including drinks — for the quality of the food and the fantastic service, this was absolutely worth it. I had a fabulous birthday here, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! Thank you again to Miro and the service staff day of for making my birthday brunch so wonderful 💖

Excellent service, delicious food, and beautiful ambiance! Such a wonderful dining experience. Almost all the sushi rolls were gluten free except for tempura and spicy tuna.

Jessica Marrast

Good simple food. I have celiac disease and other allergies so my options are limited, but they will customize dishes for me. I love their chicken soup, fried chicken, pad Thai,

Caitlin Terry

Be wary if you have issues with gluten here. Their menu states that they take "extreme cautions to minimize the risk of cross contamination", but the waitress told me that they boil their noodles in the same water as their dumplings, meaning ANYTHING with noodles is cross contaminated (including the pho and spring rolls). Honestly, this is super disappointing and does not indicate much care for minimizing cross contamination. That being said - their cocktails were tasty. My husband got their pho and enjoyed it. I got the Vietnamese chicken curry, which was tasty but VERY spicy. Service was kinda slow; it took quite a while to get our drinks ordered and then to get our food order in. They brought out our entrees but forgot my husband's summer rolls. I also requested no cilantro on my dish but it came out with a huge sprig on top. Overall I found this to be a disappointing experience, considering the blatant cross-contamination and hit-and-miss service.
