Really good food, dumplings, salt n chilli crab, squid, and sanbei duck, so much available gluten free. On the pricey side but worth it. Only slight thing was the deep fried ice cream it was like dessicated coconut batter rather and a little harder than a flour based one, but it was gluten free so my partner was happy as she hadn't had it since getting diagnosed. Will be back.

I am unfortunately disappointed with Opium. I had a fantastic night with fantastic service, however, I emphasised multiple times that I am gluten free with an allergy, to which I was assured would be catered for. I ordered the gluten free spring rolls, but I was told they were replaced by an item on the normal menu. I asked if they were gluten free, the servers checked with the chef and confirmed they were. I was a bit suspicious but when they arrived they looked fine so I didn’t have any reason to doubt. Unfortunately I had a very bad reaction to them, so I cannot recommend this place for coeliacs or gluten free folks. It’s a shame, because the food was amazing, and the servers were incredibly friendly, but it is quite dangerous to emphasise how something is “gluten free,” have it be checked multiple times, and it not be gluten free.

Great food and service, including a good selection of gluten-free. Highly recommend
