We were blown away by this place, it is such a beautiful romantic place to eat. They do have gluten free dishes and it's a family owned business the staff is incredibly friendly we even bought shirts. Highly recommend this place.
I'm gluten free for medical reasons. To be able to come to a restaurant and not have to ask what's safe for me to consume is refreshing. To be able to eat Asian fusion food and not have to worry about soy sauce is amazing. To top it off, everything is super tasty and filling. The staff are super helpful and the ambiance is great.
I’ve been to this location twice recently and both times the staff were all extremely friendly and communicative!! Had a great experience both times!! I appreciate that everything on the menu is so well labeled so I don’t have to worry about finding gluten free options! Highly recommend
Accommodates all of my allergies [gluten\wheat and shellfish].
But Impossible to reach when your online order is wrong. And it has been wrong multiple times, so I'm leaving a comment.
I order the same thing every time. Sometimes it's the wrong item[s] and sometimes stuff is just plain missing. I check my order each time to make sure I did nothing wrong
I love Thai food and normally go to the critically acclaimed Thai Taste on Crookshank. However, I wanted to take my husband somewhere nice and different so we came here. The appearance of the restaurant could use a little cleaning up; there are paper notifications kept under the glass of each table, which was odd. Also, the door hit me in the back on the way in because it swings shut quickly, so this needs to be fixed!
Thai Namtip has a few vegan and gluten-free options, as is to be expected, but they are not marked. Still, it was refreshing to see some options that were different. The waitress was extremely friendly and always had a smile on her face, which I loved! The food was delicious and hot and came out extremely quickly. The biggest issue I have with Thai Namtip was the proportions of its dishes. The meals were comparatively priced to Thai Taste, yet there was about 40-50% of the food. It came out in these bowls that were comparative to a salad bowl and that was all you got (excluding rice, but those proportions were halved as well). So while the food was delicious, it was also expensive given how little of it there was. For this reason alone, we probably won't come back.
I hope Thai Namtip will improve on these things. If they do, they would definitely be in the running for the best Thai restaurants in Cincinnati.
Great service and just as amazing food! Rae our server was the best! We had the Choonchun Chicken, crab rangoons and Thai Tanic Roll recommended by the hostess and they did not disappoint. They made great accomodations for our gluten allergy as well. We highly recommend and will be back again!
Staff were friendly and made great bowls! We went for lunch on a Monday. I used online order and it was ready a couple minutes before the estimated time.
We got a build your own salad bowl, build your own rice bowl, mango sticky rice, and lavender lemonade. Everything was healthy and did not seem to have too much sugar or sodium. The raw fish and veggies were very fresh. We’ll be back!
Gluten-free items were labeled in the app and included sauces and crunchy toppings!
Our reservation was at 6 and I’d say they didn’t start cooking our food until 7:15. It was absolutely freezing in the restaurant. I mean, be very prepared to dress warm. The service wasn’t great either. Our server didn’t get our order right and everything took a long time. The one thing I give mad props on is their gluten free safety. They made sure to cook my food first and made sure everything wasn’t cross contaminated. The food was also good. I’m more upset with the atmosphere, time and service.
Every single bite of our first Cafe Mochiko experience was pure perfection. Every single pastry we tried (and we tried every pastry they had in stock) has the perfect blend of aesthetics, textures and flavors. The balance of sweet and savory could not have been better. Every pastry was a work of art and had us hesitate for the briefest moment before we dove in and devoured it.
The sweet corn bibinka (gluten-free) mixed a delicate corn sweetness with a finely shredded cheddar on top to make the most mouthwatering combination.
Egg and kimchi croissant blew my mind and had me desperately wishing I had ordered two.
Ube halaya croissant- these type typically land too sweet for me but this one was pretty yam perfect.
If you like everything bagels the Everything Cream Cheese Bao will knock your socks off.
Make sure you get to the shop early as they do sell out (we learned this the hard way a few weeks ago). It is a 45 minute drive down for us but I can say without hesitation that it was well worth the drive. You won’t be disappointed- and if you are….there may be something wrong with you. 😜🤤
Awesome experience overall! Our server was fantastic and so was our cook! A great experience as well! They were also able to accommodate someone with a gluten allergy, which was very appreciated!
Gluten free ramen! I came here for my son expecting not to be able to eat anything but these guys totally delivered. Service was very friendly and fast. I'll be back:)
Amazing place have ate there. Several times been in there once every time was amazing plenty of vegan options I get gluten-free and vegan. Atmosphere is very nice and customer service was very nice.
YUM. I’ve tried a lot of the sushi in Cincinnati but Neko Sushi has been the best. Every roll we had was so fresh. They designated gluten free options, and offer gluten free soy sauce.
We were looking for a place gluten friendly. Great service with marvelous drinks Smoked Old Fashion- a killer salad with a smoked tomato vinergeret dressing- entries were well portioned and priced right!
Worth a try we will be back

I don’t often go out of my way to leave reviews but my experience today was wonderful! I was looking to doordash food today, between being sick and the holidays I just needed something easy. I have Celiac and finding new places is so difficult. I called to ask about gluten free choices and substitutions! I unfortunately didn’t catch the name of the young woman on the phone but she was so happy to help and when she wasn’t confident in the answer she stopped to go confirm! This make me feel so confident and I got gluten free pho with chicken and a philly roll! It was still perfect temperature when it arrived and everything was packed securely and they even left notes on my food to confirm it was gluten free! The way a business handles food allergies with sensitivity and intention speaks volumes to the integrity of an establishment and its employees! Please give the young woman on the phone a holiday bonus- food allergies or not this is definitely a place to spend your money !

Possibly my favorite local restaurant. Everything is fresh, tasty, amazing! Accommodating for gluten free, dairy free, vegan and other dietary needs. I haven’t had a dish I didn’t love, and I love that they continue to add new amazing dishes. Some of our favorites are the jerky, summer rolls, coconut soup, beef salad, ginger wings, Lao fried rice! The dining in space is on the smaller side so maybe call ahead if dining in! Love this place!!!
