Staff were well-informed about celiac when I visited for lunch. The menu has some GF items noted but more can be made gluten-free - just ask your server. I enjoyed the oshi sushi and spicy salmon roll.

The food was delicious, and they have gluten-free options. Staff was helpful. The restaurant was quiet. Highly recommend for some yummy Vietnamese food. Will go back again.

Still one of our favourite places to order sushi. Quality, friendliness, portion size, and price are all 5 stars. They are also very aware of Celiac and gluten-sensitive conditions and have always made us aware of any items on the menu and will let us know if they can’t change it.

Shout Out to Gateway To India! Wow!!!! We just had the BEST experience! By far the absolute best Indian food I have ever had. The sweetest woman (also the owner), Sandy was absolutely wonderful and so welcoming. We had so many courses of every different dish and I can’t even explain how amazing everything was! NOTE: I am gluten free and I was able to have basically everything except the naan but she brought me a special gluten free naan. This family who owns Gateway to Indian are local to Nanaimo and amazing people! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Buffet was really good. Restaurant is clean with a pleasant atmosphere with a robot cat that was entertaining. Like most places it was understaffed but the server was great in managing his time. Gluten free menu options also available upon request. Best ginger beef in town.
