The food overall is acceptable, but steer clear of a gluten-free pizza! You will get confused as to whether you’re eating the cardboard box or the pizza itself!
I have been a loyal customer of Nancy Chang’s for years, but today’s experience on Christmas Day was beyond disappointing. They were offering a buffet, but there were no sugar-free or gluten-free options, which meant my diabetic grandfather and gluten-free father couldn’t safely eat from the buffet. While we were fine with them ordering from the regular menu, the manager refused to let the rest of us (a group of seven) get the buffet if even one person ordered separately. This lack of flexibility and accommodation was shocking.
The manager’s attitude made everything worse. She was incredibly rude, dismissive, and even made inappropriate comments about my grandfather after we explained he has Alzheimer’s. She showed no empathy and instead complained about being stuck at work. Her behavior was unprofessional and ruined what should have been a special holiday experience for our family.
We felt we had no choice but to leave the restaurant without eating. We left feeling frustrated and disrespected. As long-time customers, we expected much better. This experience has made it clear we won’t be returning. I strongly discourage anyone with dietary restrictions or special needs from dining here—you won’t find any understanding or accommodation.
Cozy atmosphere, delicious food with a variety of vegan & gluten free options outside of the norm. Baked goods were on point and the staff was friendly and kind. To top it all off they have vegan candy bars 👍
The Tasty Bistro is a wonderful experience right in the heart of Worcester! If you want fresh homemade dishes prepared with love and care, this is the place to come. Gluten free? No worries. You will have lots of choices. We plan to come back for the brunch sometime soon. So spread the word, we love the Tasty Bistro and you will too!❤️
Just visited for the first time and met the owners. Nicest people you’ll ever meet. Everything is gluten free except for the choice of some toppings, which are in a separate container. One owner is gluten free herself and they are both very knowledgeable on allergies. My daughter has a dairy/egg allergy and was able to eat here no problem. I highly recommend!
Our large group thoroughly enjoyed. Food was delicious, service impeccable, and we especially appreciate the careful attention to gluten sensitivities.
The seafood saute is mind blowing. In fact it’s better with the gluten free pasta I think. Dynamite service and menu options. A must visit when you’re in town. Awesome experience
Super fun and friendly spot offering high quality ingredients prepared with exceptional care, resulting in delicious meals for all three of us. Huge bonus that they’re able to accommodate celiac diners with gluten free options that are free from cross contamination. The gluten free calamari is the best we’ve ever had. We’re so glad we have this gem in our city and look forward to coming back soon. Much appreciated!!!
Love this restaurant. My son eats a vegan and gluten free diet. This place is wonderful. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. There are so many choices, and it’s fun to be adventurous in your choices!
HEALTHY and FLAVORFUL This is a great place for a variety of delicious and healthy options as someone who looks for gluten free and vegan options. My boyfriend got the steak sandwich which he called “the best sandwich” he’s ever had and the portion was extremely generous and the steak was super tender and flavorful. The music was pretty loud honestly a little difficult to chat but I assume that’s part of the vibe lol. Has a family owned vibe and staff was very friendly with customers. Definitely recommend
We all asked for pink (you have only two options for cooked level btw) and they all came out completely burnt.
No gluten free options other than the buns, no appetizers or housemade gf sides.
You would think if the place only offers burgers they would at least offer a good one.
Left very unhappy, they compted it but it was a bad experience all together
The staff were friendly and understood my requests related to Gluten Free options. My husband loved the Shepherd's Pie. I was very happy with the Irish Pizza appetizer.
We loved this place! I am a vegetarian and my partner is celiac. They had great vegetarian options and they were very careful and considerate with the gluten-free order for my partner. We will definitely be coming back here regularly!
Really delicious food - try the raisin and rye breads, they are not to be missed - with attentive service and a great atmosphere. Appreciated the locally sourced ingredients and enjoyed everything I ate!
Also very accommodating to gluten-free
For fast serve takeout restaurant I would recommend it. The lines are very long but they do their best to move people through the lines as fast as they can and still keeping a positive attitude the food was hot and if you need a quick bite to eat I would recommend it. for gluten-free I've never had an issue I kept the grilled chicken and they can give you sauce on the side and their wedge potato french fries never had an issue with those either on the shakes are very good too.
I find it absolutely disgusting that a restaurant charges those with allergies extra to eat.
If you want your dish gluten free, dairy free, egg free, or shellfish free, they charge you an extra dollar. How is this ADA compliant? What a way to extortion individuals with disabilities.
I rarely take the time to write a review but Eli was the absolute best and truly this was the best poke bowl I’ve ever had in my life. Incredibly fresh ingredients, a great variety of options, and they even had gluten-free crispy onions!
It was such an awesome experience From the moment we walked in they accommodated our semi tight schedule due to having a show to go to from ordering our dinner to receiving it to leaving. The food was DELICIOUS! They have amazing gluten free options. The servers were terrific. Have I said the food was amazing yet?!?! It's off the beaten path and so worth trying. If we lived closer, this would absolutely be a weekly dine in date.
The customer service at palace pizza is incredible. They take allergies very seriously. Having an anaphylactic reaction to gluten, I tend to not order out for fear of having to use my epi pen. My mind was immediately put to ease the first time I ordered from palace pizza. I was reassured they change gloves, prep in a different location, use different knives to cut your pizza, and all staff is notified the severity of your allergy. I appreciate the time they put into making sure your order is made correctly. Not only is the service amazing, so is their food! It’s hard finding places that even have gluten free options. I would recommend palace pizza to all of our friends and family!
Authentic and tiny. The owner was so sweet and the place is so cute. Am not personally gluten fee or vegan, but really appreciated the dedicated vegan menu and the GF labeling. Will definitely be returning. No pictures because the food was gone so fast.
Go-to Thai place in Worcester! Our order always come out perfect and they have great vegetarian and gluten free options. Excited for them to reopen next month after HVAC repairs!
The restaurant was so loud inside that the hostess had to ask us to repeat the number of our party a few times. We opted to sit outside on a cold night because of the level of noise.
The waitress seemed to understand that I was a Celiac and gave a few suggestions of safe foods, including checking with the kitchen if a soup contained flour. She gave me a side of fries with my entree, after telling me they aren't gluten free. She offered to put the fries on another plate and bring the entree back (not an option because of cross-contamination) and then told me the fish I ordered has been cooked in with the fires. I had to order another entree and there was no mention of adjusting the bill to compensate for her error. The waitress didn't check back on us, offer to fill / replace drinks, or bring us the check until about 20 minutes after all of us had finished our meals.
Food was ok at best. Will not be back.
A friend and I tried out this place the other night, as I'd read that their actual restaurant in Worcester would be closing after Black Friday this year - they are transitioning to a food truck / pop up model, as they already do that. I had to try it, as tons of friends had recommended it - and it was SOOO good. I am not vegan, and it was amazing - but I am sensitive to eggs/dairy/gluten, and they had plenty of choices to accomodate me. I had a build-your-own omelette with vegan sausage, vegan cheese, veggies, and it was incredibly filling. Highly recommended :]
Went here for my sons birthday. Great time and service. Son had the Waygu Japanese steak which he thoroughly loved. Picture is the Chilean Waygu ribeye which was also good. Will definitely come back when the Waygu special comes around. Great service from all the staff. Lots of gluten free options.
I come here often and the food is delicious. The owners have knowledge of dietary conditions, vegan, gluten free, etc. I recommend this place to everyone. 10/10
Since COVID the menu no more gluten free.friends went there and waited an hour and they were regulars. We all went before going to Hanover Theater but not as confident we can get out of there quickly. Food is still good.
Authentic means spicy HOT! Host very accommodating . Menu could benefit with spicy hot indicators. The menu is labeled the opposite of what is customary meaning a “G” means has gluten vs gluten free. Can be confusing.. I would cone again!
My absolute favorite restaurant! I’m allergic to soy and gluten, and the pad Thai has neither of those and it’s so incredibly delicious, I recommend this restaurant to everyone !!

The most amazing coffee and dessert ever. Delightful atmosphere and service and just incredibly tasty afternoon dessert and coffee. Very seasonal and some gluten-free options as well
Came to Mint for brunch with a few friends to try out their new Sunday brunch. We each got a different item and everyone was pleased with their food and drinks. The owner graciously accommodated one of my friends who has gluten and egg allergies- she had chicken pho, from the regular menu. I had the kaya French toast which is made with their own house milk bread. It was topped with their housemade shaved salted egg yolks which was a nice balance of sweet and salty. Other dishes our party had were the bo ne, pandan waffles and cauliflower bao buns.
The Build Your Own Mimosa was fun. Loved how you can adjust the level of spiciness (1-4) of the Spice It Right cocktail, which was refreshing with just a hint of sweetness. The servers were friendly and efficient. I've never seen brunch served at Vietnamese restaurants around here and I highly recommend it.
Ordered gluten-free pizza and it was as delicious as any other good Papa Gino's!! The general manager checked to see how our meal was and checked back again later, to chat and let me know they use all precautions for gluten cross contamination. My granddaughter and I will be back next time we have a day in Worcester. A+
