**A Hidden Gem for Thai Food Lovers—Especially If You're Gluten Free!** I can't believe I haven't reviewed my family's favorite Thai restaurant yet! We absolutely love Thai cuisine, and over the years, we've had it all across the U.S.—which taught us that not all Thai is created equal, especially when you're gluten free. This place stands out for its incredible menu full of rich, authentic flavors *without* the gluten. Most dishes are naturally gluten free or can easily be made that way. But here’s the thing—even if you don’t need to eat gluten free, you’ll still be blown away. That’s because the food here is made with real, fresh ingredients by people who clearly know what they’re doing. Nothing from a can or freezer—just thoughtfully prepared, delicious dishes. Every meal here feels like a warm hug. The presentation is beautiful, the flavors are on point, and the portions are satisfying. On top of all that, the staff are kind, attentive, and clearly care about giving you a great experience. Whether you're a Thai food connoisseur or just looking for a consistently amazing meal, this spot is a must-visit!

Ben was our server he provided amazing service and ensured my gluten allergy was handled so I could safely enjoy my sushi. Everything was delicious and fresh.

Big BOY

The sushi was really good and the variety of sauces and fish were phenomenal especially cause you can watch them make it but my favorite was the hibachi chicken or beef with fried rice which was so buttery and flaky it was the best fried rice I have ever had I probably not even hyping it up enough if you go here which you definitely should you have to try the fried rice. They also have a great Gluten Free menu.

Merry Stanford

The food is really tasty, and they are good at knowing what is gluten free (nearly everything.)

Brooke Elward

Five Guys in general: great gluten free options with a burger in a lettuce wrap or bowl. Fries are GF and delicious, even better Cajun style This location: no milkshakes here. Can have slow service when college students aren’t in town. Love it still (and all the extra bag fries)

Miranda Zoumbaris

We always have a great experience especially as a family with 2 Celiacs. It’s one of my daughter’s favorite spots.

Warren James

Good gluten free and vegetarian options. Good alternative drink options to standard soda. Proactive and helpful staff.

Ryan Cragg

They have a gluten free pizza and it's actually pretty good.

Jacob Patterson

Very good gluten free food. The cooking staff is very knowledgeable and kind. There is always a desert, and there is often chicken tenders. For $7.50 it’s hard to beat the price with for gluten free food (especially when it’s all-you-can-eat).

Great service: A large group of us went after a women’s gymnastic meet on a Friday night & the manager knew how to handle a group of over 70 people who just showed up at 7:45 pm. Manager opened up a back room & diverted a few servers to our group. Great food: pizza was very good. Several with dairy & gluten allergies found good alternative options - chicken caesar salad, another type of salad with chicken, & burgers. All good. only a few left over slices to take home!

Mackenzie Ticoras

Great flavors here, also easy to eat vegetarian or gluten free. Always friendly staff, only complaints are ocassionally slow service and smaller portions of rice. Overall, one of our favorite places to eat in the Lansing area.

Spencer Novick

Pretty good food at decent prices. Staff are nice and quick. Also very accommodating for my friend with a gluten allergy.

Edis

The service was phenomenal! She helped us explain the deals and what’s best for my partner which is gluten free with mushrooms. They had a couple of young gentleman play live jazz music for anyone sitting outside or walking by, they were super talented and skilled in their craft. Mesmerizing live music! The atmosphere jumped to a 5 star with that! We got lucky since the timing of us there and them coming was impeccable. Thank you for the delicious pizza which today it was half off price slice! Wonderful price point, atmosphere and food

Emma Daley

Very loud music, good beers if you like sours and IPAs but not much beyond that. Food was okay, not great. They do have gluten free pizza options.

Sally

Picked up 2 gluten free pies. They were delicious!

Sadie Earegood

The gluten free menu IS NOT GLUTEN FREE. I had a SEVERE allergic reaction tonight even though I ordered from the list of "gluten free" options. 1/16/25.

Rebecca Butcher-Rivera

This is my #1 Middle Eastern restaurant. I visit every time I'm in Lansing! Been eating where since I was a little kid. So good I get food to eat and food to go - I especially love the lentil and rice soup, which I swear gets better as it sits in the fridge. Other highlights: baba ganouj, the vegan rice pudding, hashwi. Always a plus that all vegan and gluten free options are clearly labeled. And they were very helpful with my husband's dairy and nut allergies. I just wish the falafel was GF, I miss it so much.

Jeff Nowak

Great menu. Even for picky eaters. Celiac Friendly too. My only complaint was portion size. Could have added a little more to the bowl.

ChewThenReview

They have gluten-free options available at a pub which was a pleasant surprise, we went to visit on vacation from the desert and didn't have our warm clothes and the staff offered me and my girlfriend both sweaters and gloves for free. They went above and beyond. 😊

Ambrose

They had gluten-free sushi and seemed very knowledgeable about what I could have as someone with celiac, the prices were great and the sushi was very good. Also Nolan was a great host.

Sophia Potter

Finally visited the other day and was not disappointed! The food (and prices) were awesome. I was surprised and excited to find they have gluten free wraps as well as salads, so there are many Celiac options. Service was very fast as well-perfect for a quick lunch break stop. Can't wait to try more of the menu!
