Top 50 Gluten-Free Asian Dining Spots Across Ontario

KM

My husband has celiac and so we never eat anywhere that is 100% GF. I had read great reviews online about Riz’s and when we were there on a trip I pushed for us to go and try it. I am so glad I did, every dish we tried was delicious. I loved how soft and tender the dumplings were, the Peking duck and wrappers were amazing. The Peking dumpling special were so flavorful and tender. We over ordered at the table knowing we would take it all back to the hotel for us to to reheat and eat the rest of the week. Peking Duck for breakfast is something everyone should try, it was amazing the next morning still. The owner was so gracious and friendly, we listened to every recommendation and was thrilled with everything we had. We even took one of each dessert home and they were all amazing. I highly recommend eating here for celiacs and non celiacs alike. It is so wonderful to find a place that understands the importance of a GF completely safe no cross contamination kitchen AND also makes the most delicious Asian food you can have. While we didn’t have every item on the menu we did try a lot of plates and every single plate was delicious. We will ALWAYS come back when in Toronto, this restaurant is such a win, I wish they delivered to Brooklyn 🥰

Soooooo good!! Highly recommend whether you need to eat gluten free or not! Super fresh, hot & fantastic tasting gluten free Chinese food. It's better than any "regular" Chinese food I'd had prior to being diagnosed celiac. Everything we tried was delicious - fried rice, chop suey, chicken balls, general tao chicken, etc. but my favourite was the honey garlic pork. Everything was so good we ordered more food for takeout to go along with our leftovers from dinner. Also a great selection of frozen items. It was well worth the hour & a half drive for us to get there & we'll definitely make the trip to get there a few times a year!

Absolutely worth going to. Yes my short review is biased, but if you read the longer version below. It’ll make sense. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Speed: 10/10 For the longer review - those who care to read: I won't pretend the restaurant is like a five-star hotel. In comparison to your top high-end luxury restaurants, it would be four stars. But you can't compare apples to oranges. The one most crucial thing to note is the belief, the idea, and the story behind the restaurant. They are specially tailored to people who have strict allergy requirements. My personal needs are to avoid gluten, nuts, egg, and more. Try that anywhere else…. Most places will just "nicely" shoo you away—and while I understand any restaurant ultimately is a business to cater to the masses, those of us who have strict, deathly dietary requirements can finally experience a place to dine without fear. To enjoy a time with family and friends eating the same things. To experience the fun and joy of picking at another person's plate. For those reasons, and to me, it's better than any Michelin-star restaurant. If you have allergies to gluten, if you have celiac disease, you can finally share the experience too. You may come out an emotional train wreck like me.

Sushi was delicious and great gluten free options. Staff was wonderful and tables were clean, as well as the rest of the establishment. Great experience would recommend.

Tasty gluten-free food, thank you!

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

My to-go dinning joint when I wish to eat at Toronto’s BEST vegan and plant based fine dining cuisine at Planta- Toronto Queen Street location. From wait staff to servers and of-course the food- the bestest of ALL. I have soy and gluten allergy and the kitchen took care of my dietary request-with utmost love and care. I enjoyed my meal very much like always and I have been a patron for almost 10 years now. Because Planta is Planta. Thankyou :)

Lynn Commanda

I learned that Lapointe's had a gluten-free fish and chips option, so decided to give it a try. It was so delicious, generous portions, and service was super quick. The server was pleasant and courteous, and took the time to explain the other GF options. It was definitely worth the trip from the east end to Bells Corners. Highly highly recommended.

Sarah pothier

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

Marsha Lebeau

This cozy cafe had an amazing selection of delicious and beautiful treats. Vegan, gluten-free, savoury and sweet....it met all our needs!!!! We will make this a regular stop between Ottawa and Kitchener !!!!

Manon Hachey

Upon arriving, the hostess was great. Our server, Taylar, is a gem! Very knowledgeable, polite, and very pleasant. I wasn’t sure what to order and she pointed out some great items from the gluten free menu. I was very pleased to see such a great variety. She was very attentive to our needs and made sure she checked in at appropriate times. We always love going to GT’s. The food, drinks, music, and above all, the staff are great.

Stephen Snudden

Gluten free menu, gluten free soy sauce, generous serving of fresh sushi. Yum!

Marvin Williams

This place was lovely and had excellent service! Many tasty gluten free options for my celiac girlfriend :) Our favourite was the duck breast!

Ebony Jones

Great atmosphere and food! Lots of gluten free options available and staff were very accomodating. We had the yellow curry with chicken and the ginger stir fry with beef and extra vegetables - great flavours

About thirty of us ranging in age from two to 97 years recently met at Bambu to celebrate a friend’s 80th birthday. A twelve course tasting menu was designed for us some weeks in advance by the owner Jeremy, taking into consideration vegetarians, individuals with gluten sensitivity, meat and seafood lovers. On the day of the party, we discovered that a friend was now vegan, another wanted no onions in her meals and a young guest was allergic to peanuts. Staff at Bambu handled this promptly and without any fuss or complaint. A special mention to our main server Jennifer. The menu consisted of 3 appetizers, 3 sushi rolls and 6 mains including fried rice, Pad Thai, chicken and seafood curries. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. Dessert and coffee ended a very satisfying meal. Thank you Jeremy and Jennifer for a superb evening at Bambu.

Had this for the first time today and really enjoyed the food. But felt taken advantage of at the counter. It was “Two Can Dine for $19.99 Day”. We ordered two meals on one bill and I paid $40+. He even encouraged me to upgrade to two combos upping the bill by $8. They made one Gluten Free by mistake and pretended it wasn’t with no explanation for the use of different noodles. Just plain shady. Took us for being stupid. 👎🏼👎🏼 You got me once but you will never get me again.

Cynthia's is always a treat. Their staff are super friendly and wear the most fun outfits ever. The atmosphere is inviting and homey. Their food is great and they also have lots of options for those with celiac disease, without skimping on taste.

Chelsea Beckerton

This is a very cozy spot that my friend and I have visited on a few occasions now. Every time we are greeted with AMAZING service, everyone is so pleasant and knowledgeable about all the options available, especially for my friend who has a gluten intolerance - one of the few places that has a good amount of options for that dietary restriction. I impulsively decided on a dessert which also ended up being fantastic.

Maryloïse Gingras

Very affordable! Bright, clean, and with plenty of space. The food was delicious. Lots of options on the menu and meals for everyone (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) The employees were respectful and friendly. I will definitely be back!

Simon Hirst

We'd spent 4 days in Niagara, staying centrally, searching for good value, tasty food without success (& getting ripped off for mediocre mulch). . until we found Moksha! Jasmine was really friendly and professional, with good knowledge of gluten free options. . And the food was excellent. Best meal we had in Niagara by a long chalk, and up to the standards of the CN tower restaurant. Would highly recommend. Also great value, 3 of us with drinks (including beer): mains, poppadoms, rice and nans and (discretionary) 20%tip, $80. Wish we'd found you sooner! Many thanks 🙏 N.B. It's difficult to understand some of the negative reviews based on our experience and perhaps makes one question their integrity / motive.

Absolutely love eating here, the vibe is amazing and the staff are top tier! The food and atmosphere are so unique and as a Gluten Free Vegan who doesn't drink, trust me when I say this is a haven. I have been a few times so I have tried most of the food. Alot of the menu is already edible for me as is, but the majority of the menu can be accommodated to a vegan and/or gluten free diet which is amazing. The mocktails are equally fantastic. Watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen is the best, and the Management team and Madison in Events are always the most generous and accommodating. If you are so lucky to have service from Joseph, you will leave a very happy and full man! Can't wait to be back in the summer for Jungle Brunch!

Jenn Z

Easily able to accommodate gluten free and other allergies, very tasty and filling.

Nazia Mohsin

We love coming here for great vegan food with gluten free options. It’s fresh and flavourful with great portions for the price.

Kelly Bovair

My favorite Thai place!! Amazing atmosphere and an owner who deeply cares about her guests experience. The owner is diligent about food allergies or intolerances and does her best to accommodate them. My friend who is celiacs eats there often and always has great customer service and her food is prepared safely to avoid any criss cross contamination.

Excellent saki selection, great food. Many gluten free choices. Very friendly atmosphere.

Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

Natasha Carew

Hubert and his wonderful team at Udupi palace catered my 40th birthday party with a delicious live-cooked dosa bar, with idlis, samosas and pakoras as well. My guests loved the food and a few of them commented to me on how warm and friendly the Udupi palace team was. When my sister asked if they had gluten free dosas, they went all the way back to the restaurant to get special batter for her. I also used Udupi palace to cater my dad's 60th birthday and we had the same experience. These folks will not only bring great food, they will enhance your party atmosphere with their presence. I eat at Udupi places Gerrard Street restaurant at least once a month and I look forward to being a customer for many more years. Thank you!

Vivek Vinayak

Food is excellent. Loved the Malagapudi Masala Dosa. Please ask for Gluten free Dosa If you want avoid flour as it used in all commercial dosas. Requested the management to indicate the same on the menu clearly. Else, the place is a South Indian delight. Been eating here everyday.

Joseph Zettler

Been ordering from here for a while. They're great for people that need to eat gluten free and have celiac. They even wrote some labels onto the containers on our last order ❤️

Zachariah Boerner

Had a great meal. Amazing flavours and textures. They were able to accommodate a gluten restriction with ease.

El El

It's delicious, but a bit slow. The food is very unique. They were able to accommodate my daughter's celiac allergy with a few tweaks and zero attitude. In fact, both Toronto and Montreal were refreshingly helpful when it came to this issue. Everything we ate was flavorful and enjoyable. The Pad Thai with lobster was well worth it.

Caitlyn Hill

After running some out of town errands, my cousin (who has celiac disease) and I were looking for a bite to eat before heading home. We made a quick google search and found Spicy Thai, and I’m so thankful for that! As someone who considers myself a foodie, believe me when I say that the food here is amazing! Not only was the food really good, my cousin who has a hard time finding good, fresh food that’s safe for her to eat was able to go wild on the menu here

Michelle L

The social curry is absolutely amazing! So flavourful! Staff are also very accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten free options.

Martha Brown

Justin Wong

Delicious food. Lots of gluten free and/or vegan options. Extremely good customer service. Food arrived so fast. Can't recommend them more. Try the coconut ice cream!

Steph “Stephers” Lynn

Lots of gluten free options

Dean Phillips

Amy P

One of our favorite restaurants in Hamilton! When we dine in, the staff are always so friendly. We like to get the katsu curry and karaage donburi - both delicious, and gluten-free! Looking forward to trying their sushi soon. 😊

Danny Galea

Avoid if you have an allergy! We had been long term customers of Thai Plate. The food is decent and well priced. The last time we got takeout, we specifically reminded the call taker that we needed gluten free. When we got home, we realized that at least half the meal was full of gluten and therefore three out of four people in our home could not eat it. When we called back to inquire, we were told they would make the dishes gluten-free, but when we attended to pick up, they attempted to charge us full price for the new dish. The person we spoke to was downright arrogant, this wasn't their error, except it was. Every time we have eaten in at the restaurant, there has been flies all around. They have shoved tables wherever they can fit them without doing any modification to have a cohesive space. We won't be returning here. One person can ruin a restaurant.

Katie Frank

Omg delicious is an understament! I have celiac and this place is 100% safe for me. They are very knowledgeable with gluten free needs. Very authentic food, every dish is great, the peanut sauce for the satay is SO good that we bought a jar. We've been here many times and it's always beyond amazing. Also DEFINITELY Get the Tom yum soup, I didn't know it could be that good!

Danielle F

Very good sushi and they have many gluten-free options and soya sauce. Will definitely return!

Felix Dramnitzke

Service was great and the ramen was the best ramen I’ve ever eaten!! Staff were super knowledgeable about allergies and intolerances, the gluten free noodles were delicious!

Nicki Hynes

Made a lunch reservation for my family at Red Ginger and we had an amazing time! The food was delicious, lots of gluten free and vegan options. The service was amazing, our server Noot took good care of everyone and made our dining experience excellent! :)

Kassidy Duncan

Had a really amazing lunch here! Staff were super friendly, accommodating for our baby and my husband's celiac disease. There are a lot of gluten free options, and all the food was so delicious. We will be back soon!

Antony Kellerman

Great experience! The restaurant has a gluten-free menu and they made sure to clean the wok before preparing our food. They were also very attentive to allergen alerts and even noted them on our receipt. The server was knowledgeable about allergens and provided excellent service. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

JS Yoon

My girlfriend and I were warmly welcomed and served by Taylor. Taylor kindly explained which items were vegan and gluten friendly for her, as well as helped make some substitutions for certain dishes. Fried Chicken Fried Rice and the Korean Wagyu Smash-burger were my favourites.

Stephen Snudden

Excellent service and food. Coconut soup was great. Huge portion of gluten free cashew stir fry - hadn’t had one in years cause usually contain soy sauce and not GF. Didn’t add a NFDF. Recommend.
