Pho Van Pittsburgh

I ate for the first time at Pho Van last weekend. I reviewed the gluten free options on the menu with the server. I asked three different times, are you sure this is completely gluten free and was assured it was. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Teriyaki with steam rice. After eating the meal, I immediately started experiencing symptoms from gluten intake. By the end of the evening, I had five hours of intense G.I. issues. I am on day 3, and still in a lot of G.I. pain. I have had Celiac Disease for 9 years and eat completely gluten free. I have never experienced a reaction like this. The most I have ever had from a possible cross contamination is a slight flatulence. I am guessing, the meal was not prepared gluten free. I highly suggest not eating at this restaurant if you have Celiac Disease.

I absolutely love this place. Lots of gluten free options. I had the beef pho and is was excellent. Other non gf people with me got a pork Bahn mi and teriyaki chicken with fried rice.
