My sisters who are gluten free had their jaws to the floor with how many wonderful options they had here. Literally there jaws were to the floor. It was hard to have them eat after because they both had them stuck down there. It was a little embarrassing. The food was great! As someone who can eat gluten, you hardly missed it.

Being celiac, I blame myself for believing that a Mac and Cheese place that offers a gluten free alternative could be for real. Don’t be fooled by their ‘GF available’ option, either the sauce was made with flour, or they reused the water to boil the pasta, but I had the worst gluten experience of my life. It was way beyond cross contamination. I agree that the food was delicious, but I would not risk it being are celiac or gluten intolerant, I regretted it deeply. The restaurant agreed to reimburse my plate and ‘look at the kitchen footage’… one week later and I am still waiting for the refund and never heard about their conclusion. I would not brand this place GF unless they change to a dedicated kitchen. To end the night on an even lower note, although not the restaurant’s fault, our car got broken into, parked right outside the restaurant.

Most items can be made gluten free. Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. Do not eat bbq sauce, malted mayo that comes with fries, or biscuit as those are not gluten free. All mayo on sandwiches is regular mayo.

Our awesome experience started with a phone call from Imani. She was following up about a request I made on Open Table for a quiet spot because I’m highly sensitive. She was so understanding and kind. When we arrived, we had a great place on the patio. The food met all expectations and the N/A cocktails were sophisticated. There were lots of gluten free options with a GF vanilla cheesecake to die for. The service was impeccable. The restaurant is located in a great neighborhood and we walked off the wonderful dinner we had. Please support this all vegan establishment and their wonderful, attentive staff!

Celebrated my birthday here and had a great time!! The QR takes a little getting used to (particularly if your reception isn't great) but it's so efficient. Our food and drinks flowed, with no one waiting too long. The masked staff were welcoming and didn't rush us to leave.The general vibe was very friendly. I can recommend the French 75, Ethiopian Hummus, veggie sampler and gluten free injera. Thank you Enssaro!

It's a Punk Rock themed Japanese (mostly) gluten-free restaurant that specializes in fried chicken (get the fried chicken, trust me). If that description doesn't entice you, you're probably not cool enough for this place anyway. Basically only thing that isn't gluten-free are some of the beer options (there are gluten-free options too)-great for me as my wife has the allergy and I like gluten in my beer. Glad we stumbled across this place.

Amazing. I have a lot of allergies/intolerances (gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts), and I can eat everything ! here. Bowls, sides, desserts. Affordable for how fresh, healthy, and delicious it is. Gotta love somewhere where you can get a bowl with perfectly fried plantains. “This place is awesome! The fries and the stuff! (Even though I don’t like the smell of the ketchup, I like everything else.)” —the 7-year-old “(I do like the ketchup!)” —the 36-year-old We’ll be back next time we’re in town!

So glad I finally came by today for a late lunch (2PM) - cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors (adapted for non-Thais). Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!

I've never been dissapointed coming here! If you love a good crusty sourdough like me, then you must try Arizmendi! I'll confess it's not the best SD loaf I've had but pretty close to it and only because the Bay Area has too many choices which make the SD competition stiff here. They do, however, make the best heavenly sourdough pizza on earth and offer a delicious daily vegetarian soup that will leave you with a very difficult choice to make. As for the baked goodies, the almond flour brownie is the best brownie I've ever had and it's gluten free!?! But don't let that keep you from trying it...I couldn't't believe I actually found a GF item I like. Even my kids approve! Unfortunately, the Lakeshore location is the only one selling it but don't worry any pastry at Arizmendi is great. Croissants are flaky and buttery, cookies are chewy and fresh... You can't go wrong with Arizmendi on any given day.

This charming, quiet place is heaven. My husband, omnjomnivore, and I, forced to eat dairy and gluten free, were both incredibly happy with the high quality, fresh food we received on top of very nice and respectful service. There’s one meal, you choose the size of your portion. I cannot stress enough how amazing the food was. Vegetables, beans and rice cooked and seasoned to perfection. Collard greens like I’ve never had them before: juicy, tender but with a wonderful bite, deliciously seasoned and clearly very fresh. The soup was amazing, too. Fragrant, perfect texture and the right amount of it, too. We are so grateful for this meal. Thank you so much!!

I’ve eaten here more than 10 times. I’ve never had one bad meal here, not one. I have impressed a lot of people that I have brought here with me from the harden foodie to the person who needs gluten free. Their gluten free menu is spectacular. This restaurant works hard on all fronts. The service is always warm and on point. Periodically, there is a a massive breakout celebration going on for someone’s party. The mood is chill and unpretentious. Do yourself a favor and experience it yourself!

Swung by here for lunch and was very glad we did. We were worried that it was going to be a bunch of fake meat, but that was farthest from the case. Everything tasted super fresh and there's no manufactured weirdness here. It's a fixed menu, with self service tea and water. All gluten-free and vegan and super tasty. The black eyed pea veggie soup was ridiculously good - I would have ordered a vat of it if I could have. We got the chocolate cake - it was a mousse with coconut crust, and it was rich yet not overly sweet. Super tasty. I'm mainly sad I don't live in NorCal anymore because I'd eat here daily if possible, but when I am up here I'll be making it a point to come back again.

I LOVE this place! My roommates and I are obsessed with the nachos, their protein options never miss and it's all quality and generous quantity. I really love the fried Japanese sweet potato tacos & tostadas too, and the mushroom options are great for the soy-free/gluten-free crowd. I wish nothing but success for La Venganza and their yummy, plant-based delicious dishes, we will keep coming back!!

I'm so happy with Neecha Thai! I got the vegan skewer with peanut sauce, the pumpkin curry, and jasmine rice. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the vegan options and service at Neecha Thai. Food was ready FAST. The pumpkin curry was so amazingly flavorful and the portions were massive. Even the portion of rice was big, they gave two containers for the single order. My one meal alone was definitely enough to feed two people. The veggie skewers with peanut sauce were a solidly satisfying appetizer. There were a variety of tofu and wheat-gluten (seitan) protein options. I'm definitely going to be craving their food now whenever I want Thai!

My boyfriend is gluten/dairy free and we came here based on good ratings from the Find Me GF app. While he couldn’t have the donuts, we were mainly after brunch and the tofu scrambles were delicious! He had the Pepples scramble with avocado, and I had the Pesto scramble. Both come served with hash browns and sourdough toast, so we just left out the toast for him. I usually don’t love tofu but this dish was absolutely delicious! We are from out of town but will definitely stop back here if we’re in the area again 😄
