Thai Treasure Restaurant and Bar

If I did not have Celiac’s I would give this place 4-5 stars, however I think that the staff needs to be educated on what gluten free actually means. I ordered the drunken noodles from the lunch special, as the menu explicitly said they were gluten free. Usually this is not the case because they’re made with soy sauce, so I assumed they used tamari or another alternative. The lunch special also came with a small appetizer, but none of the options were gluten free and I was not offered any alternatives. When we had finished our meal the staff brought out a slice of the cheesecake with a candle for my birthday, which was very sweet. However we asked them several times if it was gluten free, and after going to “check,” they came back, confirmed, and said all their desserts were gluten free. Needless to say, this is not true. I experienced horrible stomach pain and vomiting within an hour, and after checking the menu again online, their cheesecake is NOT listed as gluten free. This is a dangerous error on their part for people who truly can’t have gluten, and makes me question the validity of the rest of their “GF” items. I usually am not sensitive to gluten contamination or even accidentally consuming a small amount, so to have a reaction this strong makes me feel like things beyond the cake may have contained gluten. The staff was kind, the food was piping hot, and the ambiance was great. However because of my personal experience I can not rate them highly. If you are unsure about ingredients, it is better to simply state that you don’t know rather than risk people getting sick.

One of my favorite go to spots, most of their dishes are tasty, you can’t go wrong. They have gluten free options, just make sure you tell them. The service is friendly and fast. I typically get the chicken or shrimp pad Thai which are solid choices. The shrimps are large and fresh. I’ve also eaten the green and Penang curry as well as their drunken noodle and pineapple fried rice. I order take out more but the handful of times I’ve gone in the restaurant it has been clean and fast service.
