One of the best dedicated 100% GF places in TO. A life saver for people in midtown !

Andrew Wiebe

Excellent service, great food - especially ginger beer - and best of all, gluten free!

Jessica H

Amazing!

Julian Catalano

Amazing food! I am celiac and have never ever found gluten free Chinese food , that was incredible. I am still thinking about it , the flavour and the freshness of all the food was amazing. I got many freezor items to try that I am pumped for. I highly recommend this place!

Mark Blair

I ate at this restaurant when it was called Riz, and i just went under their new name. The menu is expanded and is all gluten free. It is a treat to be able to order anything and not have to ask about ingredients. As a huge bonus, they had a dessert pastry selection of items I’ve never seen available in gluten free versions. I had a chocolate eclair which was amazing.

Maddi W

Only Chinese restaurant I’ve ever come across that had GF options!!

Jason Booker

Friendly service. Not many seats. Good food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for gluten free tempura.

Lance L. Unser

I’m a Celiac and they had so many options for me it was AMAZING. I haven’t had Sushi and Tempura Shrimp and Calamari in YEARS The staff are amazing so helpful and it was so much fun. Words cannot describe how wonderful this experience was

Sarah Guenzburger

Really delicious food! Reasonably priced. Very on top of allergens - tons of Gluten Free options! Good service. Family owned restaurant. Highly recommend!!!

Claire

Had an incredible meal here. Server was welcoming and offered excellent recommendations from the all gluten-free menu. I had two small plates plus dessert and was absolutely stuffed. Chicken satay and pandan crème brûlée were highlights. This spot is best for smaller parties of 4 or less, and reservations recommended as it fills up quickly.

This is one of the first places I’ve had gluten-free Chinese food, and it reminds me of my childhood when my parents would treat me to (regular) Chinese food before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Both my mom and I have celiac disease and have eaten here with confidence, as they have separate fryers to keep you safe. The ginger beef, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, and dumplings are my favourites (I couldn’t pick just one 🙊), and I’ve come here time and time again. AND- If you’re in for a crazy time, I recommend dining in after a late night out on the town (I won’t spoil the surprise but let me tell you, it’s unlike any dining experience I’ve ever had before and was unforgettable…).

Scott

Friendly helpful staff and amazing gluten free options with a dedicated fryer. This place is one of my favorite gluten free choices in Winnipeg. Totally seperate menu with different item numbers make it extremely easy to order and they label every item so you know you are getting what you asked for. Highly recommend this place. Pickup and delivery using an app as they don't always have a driver available.

Emily R

Completely separate prep area, fryer, etc. Celiac safe :) So many choices for GF dishes, and great!

Cristiano Therrien

All is dairy free, gluten free and delicious!

Lianne Moseley

I dine in and order take out from here religiously. The food is consistently really good and they are so extremely careful with allergies. I have celiac disease and I never worry about eating here. The staff are always kind and helpful. My take out orders always arrive hot and well packaged. I really appreciate this business and all their efforts to be truly gluten free. I’ve turned many friends on to this place.. it’s everyone’s favourite spot. Love Van Son 🙌

Serena Goutbeck

Went to celebrate our mom’s legacy at her favourite restaurant! Ordered dinner for 6 plus 2 more ppl and added 2 dishes. Gluten free for a few of us! Fresh, hot, delivered to the large round table with smiles! Our famous hostess came and sang a “b day” song with us ! Owner gentleman took our pic outside! Wonderful green tea and wine selection…see them next year! Came from Okotoks to have dinner in Edmonton!

Don Allan

Been coming here for years. Best Chinese food in Calgary. Amazing gluten free substitutes if needed.

Cassandra Orr

Gluten free Chinese food!

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

Nathalie Houde

A great discovery. The dishes were delicious. There are several gluten-free options.

esse emme

We always have a fresh and delicious gluten free meal at Hitoe. The service and sushi is exceptional. So happy to have Hitoe in the neighborhood!

Melissa Smith

I'm so disappointed in their food now. There was no flavour and the chicken and beef were dry. There wasn't any sauce on the ginger beef and the sweet and sour chicken was dry with no flavour. The beef on the flat rice noodles has no taste. I will NOT be ordering from here again. It was our usual go to because my gluten allergy but now it's overpriced and bland.

John Truong

Hidden gem for not only the best Chinese food in Edmonton but because most of the dishes can be made gluten free!!! Staff are very knowledgeable about allergies.

Jonathan Saunders

Good gluten free and vegan options, all clearly marked on the menu. Excellent service and very knowledgable staff

Kevin Horek

Love the gluten free wraps

Leonor Barradas

The food was delicious! We ordered a stir and a chicken lemongrade to share and both were really tasty. Our fav was the beaf stir. We will come back for sure. The service was also excellent. Most of the menu was gluten free.

Cristiano Therrien

Tasty gluten-free food, thank you!

Nikita Crane

I eat here often! The team are super knowledgeable about celiac disease and have a separate area of the kitchen for GF including a fryer for gyozas. There’s a separate GF menu that’s clearly marked - food comes in a separate bag and clearly labelled, GF soy sauce is available too!

Fayaaz Kala

This was my second time eating here and although the food was delicious giving my celiac wife Tom Yum soup that wasn’t prepared gluten free is unacceptable. We came here back in September because of there large selection of items that can be made gluten free and celiac safe. The server who helped us the first time was very knowledgeable and said they would take extra caution. This time we told the server at least three different times that my wife was celiac and we will order everything gluten free. She still asked about allergies and then assured us everything would be gluten free. A different server or food runner brought the soup and then walked away. Our server brought the mains and said both dishes are gluten free. When we got the bill the two main dishes said **allergy next to it but the soup didn’t. I was hopeful that it was a typo and the soup was gluten free…not 10 minutes later as we got back to the hotel my wife’s celiac flair was in full force and she was out for the night in pain. It’s disappointing that a restaurant with a Michelin star would be this careless

Vanessa Oakley

I went to P.F. Chang's for the first time last month. I was alone because I was on a work trip. Even though this is a family style restaurant, I had the best time dining alone. The food was so good!! Liam, my server was so nice and helpful as it was my first time. I have celiac disease, this was no problem at all, I had quite a few options and all things I ate were delicious! I highly recommend checking it out. I can't wait to go back with some friends.

Diana Cipriani Dicorato

The food was fresh and delicious. They accommodate allergies (gluten-free) and many options. I will definitely make regular trips to this restaurant

Lindsay Kromm

Wanted to leave a review specifically for celiacs: Planta Queen has the best celiac-friendly accommodations I've experienced anywhere in Toronto. Our hostess confirmed upon check-in that someone in the party had celiac disease. Our server confirmed it when introducing herself to the table. The manager came by to inform me everything would be prepared in a separate area, with gloves being changed before making our dishes. And every time a dish was dropped off, they confirmed it to be celiac-safe. I felt so incredibly secure that a dish didn't inadvertently get "missed" by the kitchen, and that there wouldn't be any cross-contamination. Bonus: they have a separate fryer so celiacs can even eat the fried items, AND they were able to modify dishes that weren't marked gluten-free to be gluten free for me. Everything was delicious. Definitely, definitely worth a visit!

India Cyr

Visiting from Calgary and stopped by Remedy Café for their gluten-free options. The staff assured me food prep is safe for celiacs, with a separate prep area, toaster, and utensils. Tried the coconut chicken wrap on a GF wrap, Punjabi style — absolutely flavorful and filling. Saved half for later! Great experience and will definitely be back. Shoutout to the server for being knowledgeable of gluten free practices and a stellar recommendation for my wrap!

Crystal C

Always LOVE Sansho Sushi, and visit often. They are always busy with dine-in and take out orders, which tells you it’s a great spot. Never had to wait for a table though, and the staff are always friendly & attentive no matter the time or day. Excellent selection of boxes and special items. The highlight is the gluten free menu!! Super thankful for a sushi spot that offers so many gluten free options- including teriyaki!! I love their chicken teriyaki roll, V4 roll (vegetable) and spicy salmon roll. The miso soup is also Gf and delicious.

Roy Nelson

Been going and getting take-out from Lemongrass for over a decade. One of my family's favorites especially since my son is celiac (gluten free)

alex dupont

The cuisine with gluten-free option is always delicious!! The service is always careful and professional.

Shel Marie W

Ordered probably half the menu by now. My favourite thing surprisingly is the tofu and I order it every time. I’m celiac and love how comprehensive the menu is. Most gf menus eliminate more than half the options. Actually forgot to order one dish (via skip) gluten free and they called to double check. I spent a lot but so good I always order a lot! 10 out of 10!

Sean Wilson

Very lackluster as no real flavor in the sub I had (korean bbq). The gluten free bun my other half had was nice she said. Bun also didn't taste fresh on mine and not a lot of ingredients on it. Pop $2.25 not $1.50 as it says on the menu sign at the front. Its not that big a price deal but when I pointed it out it was dismissed. That after they mistakenly tried to charge $4.00 for each pop. Bottom line is for the price it was not worth it for me so would not return. Place was clean though.

Joel Jaffe

Awesome experience, as always. We have a celiac child and two people with shellfish allergies in the family. The staff always take exceptional care when cooking our meals. Highly recommended!!!

A. C.

Very good sushi restaurant with a wide vegan and gluten-free choice. The wines and cocktails are also worth a detour. Good value for money, I recommend.

Coral Spence

The best gluten free deep fried fish! Yum!

Melissa Milberry

We went there today as a table of 5 and we were very excited as we heard very good things about their gluten free menu. No sooner did we order and a mouse ran across the floor below our table! The food came and I’m not sure what kind of meat is used in the egg rolls but they were the worst I’ve ever had. No one at the table ate as the food was not good. Photo attached of what was left due to the poor quality. I do not recommend it for the food! The atmosphere with the fish tanks was great for the kids! They loved watching the fish in the tanks and pond.

John Dreyer

We have been going to Asian’s with our family for years and it is the closest we have found to a UK curry in Vancouver - which is a huge compliment as the best curry restaurants in the world are in the UK! Chef Rick has been in this business for over 45 years and he makes everyone feel welcome. All dishes are freshly prepared. He is there early every day prepping all the ingredients. For diabetics it is particularly good - he does not use sugar but instead does magic with onions to introduce a sweetness. This makes the butter chicken the best ever. I can eat here without the food spiking my blood sugars at all - as long as I don’t stuff in too much Nan! The Tandoori mix grill is the best I have had. Mushroom matter is a favorite as is Lamb Sag. Did I mention the butter chicken! He often gives our grandkids a box of home made sweets to go. Gluten free options available and ample free parking on the street outside. I have noticed that Prices have not gone up since before COVID - go along as you won’t be disappointed.

Sarah pothier

My favourite go to sushi place! It's always delicious and they have great options for Celiac people :)

Karleen Kalynchuk

I have dined in and had takeout many times and I have never been disappointed!! The service is always incredible and the food is always fresh and delicious. They even added gluten free Gyozas to the menu and they were so so so good!! 10/10 recommend.

Julie Harrison

The service is friendly and they cater to gluten /Celiac clients. They are aware of cross contamination of gluten.

Marina Austin

Excellent experience. Excellent food. Really great time. Very knowledgeable about gluten free options.

J Kingston

Visited for the first time, initially planned to do carry out but decided to eat in as it was quiet. Service was fast and extremely pleasant. There was a slight mix up with one item ordered, but it was swiftly taken care of without issue. Food was delicious, and for me personally, finding good gluten free (celiac safe) options can be a challenge - I will definitely be returning here as the honey glazed garlic chicken (GF) was devine! Customer service was first class. Definitely recommend!!

Megan Sale

The service was great and the food was amazing! I ordered dinner for my sister, who has a gluten allergy, and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of gluten free options! All of the food and drinks we got were amazing and definitely the best Vietnamese/thai I’ve had in a while. I would definitely recommend the vermicelli and iced coffee!

Jessica Speed

Pros: - Most of the menu can be made gluten free - JFK is a really tasty - We had a great server - Cool wall graffiti, lots to look at Cons: - Ramen made me feel sick had the regular Tonkotsu - Two employees or ex employees were super drunk yelling at the bar. The restaurant was empty so it was a little obnoxious - The restaurant smells like spray paint - The employees had all their stuff thrown onto a table, looked messy
