🫶🏻 We had a wonderful experience at Miss Kangsta! As a gluten-free (coeliac!) restaurant, it’s absolutely fantastic — delicious food, fresh ingredients, and so many creative options. The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable about dietary needs, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing gluten-free dining in Wellington!

Connie Boston

Absolutely love the vibe here. The staff are incredible, food is always spot-on, and they have lots of coeliac-safe options!

My husband and I went here because we were in the area and saw that it had good reviews. I am gluten free (coeliac). The menu was clearly labelled and almost the whole menu was gluten free, including unique options like fried chicken and onion bahji. They were very friendly and welcoming. They also seemed very mindful of dietary requirements, including cross-contamination. We had the cassava fries, 31 masala chicken curry, goat curry and paneer saagwala. Everything was delicious and flavourful. I would especially recommend the goat curry. Thank you for a lovely meal!!

MayaPlanas Family

Excellent and delicious Gluten Free menu (they can provide dairy free options as well). Very friendly staff. Environment is classic and relax. Would truly recommend.

Sarah Capon

Coeliac aware and great gf options! Loved the chicken sushi bowl! A bit hard to get a table in there because it’s so busy, but worth it. I didn’t really love the Vietnamese loaded fries, but I’d say that’s just my preference.

I absolutely love this place, I feel like I'm In Japan again with the serenity and lovely customer service. The food is so tasty and fresh and so well priced!!! I absolutely love the onigiris and the sweet food they have in their cabinet (mostly all vegan and gluten free which is a bonus!!). If you have dietary restrictions this is definitely the place to try, especially if you like japanese cuisine. All the drinks are organic and better yet there are so many non caffeine drinks, sesame latte is my favorite!! A little bit nutty and smooth!! I absolutely love the cinnamon banana bread, the best vegan gf one I've ever had! Janken is a must try, especially if you want to come to a peaceful atmosphere filled with joy!!

Clive McArthur

The food is great and better still it is safe for the two celiacs in our family.

Luke Thompson

My review is focusing on the set menu, but I was wanted to preface this by saying that this place is always nice, and always quite gluten-friendly. We came here for the set menu on New Years as a group of four and it was absolutely phenomenal. Unfortunately for us, though every item was delicious, the greatest hits were the items that aren't normally on the menu (I loooooved the beef tataki so much that we asked for more). No need to be scared or worried about there only being one option for the set menu, because every option was stunning. And I'm saying that as a relatively fussy eater. The staff were generally amazing, but something that stood out to me is how accommodating the staff were when it came to our celiac friend. In spite of it being a set menu, they managed to ensure that she had gluten-fres options, especially when it came to dessert and we finally got served our food separately. Would highly recommend for anyone that can't eat gluten, as we frequently come herd with that friend for the normal menu, as there are plenty of options to choose from. One thing to note about Mekong Baby is that it is more on the expensive side, but I wholeheartedly believe that it is worth it for the food and service.

Great gluten free options!

This is my absolute favorite spot for group dinners. Every time I come here, I order the karaage mushrooms and cabbage. My guests are usually skeptical as to why I'm ordering vegetables when dining out as opposed to meat. But without fail, they end up loving the mushrooms the most. The cabbage is also light, refreshing, and surprisingly delicious. This is a great place for sharing, with plenty of dishes to try, and splitting the cost makes it very cheap. The sushi tacos are another highlight—I’ve tried three fish-based ones so far, and they’ve all been fantastic. I usually struggle to enjoy raw fish in New Zealand after experiencing better quality in the islands, but Bar Yoku is one of the few places I trust for consistently good seafood. I’ve never left disappointed. If you visit, definitely request a sunken table. They’re super comfortable and turn it into an experience rather than just a meal. I've come here multiple times with people who have allergies, eg. gluten, nuts, and vegan diet requirements. This has never been an issue, and the food still remains delicious! A special mention to the staff, too—every server I’ve had here knows the menu inside and out, is aware of any changes, and is always professional and friendly. They create a welcoming atmosphere with zero awkwardness or judgment, which, unfortunately, isn’t always the case at some places.

Food was SO good and catered for celiac

S Biddick

Special note for dietary requirements: the menu was extremely detailed when it came to gluten free and vegetarian options, and the staff were also very attentive to this when we ordered. There was lots to choose from for our gluten free table. The menu also said that their mayonnaise and soy sauce were all gluten free too. We ordered chicken teriyaki, tofu, rice, sushi and vegetables to share - everything was incredible. The meal cost $106- for two people but we did have an alcoholic drink each as well. Great service and atmosphere. Thank you to the staff for a great evening.

Delicious wine and food matched 6 course set menu. They even had a gluten free option. So good, we loved it.

Tracy Gale

Fantastic food, and excellent service very knowledgeable about gluten free options for Coeliac customer.

Elisa Hall

Once again we had a great family birthday dinner. We shared 5 dishes amongst four of us. Two hungry teenagers. Asked for everything gluten free and it was brought out quickly. Prior our cocktails and mock tails were served. The food was great and great service. We will be back again soon

As a gluten free diner this place is amazing. Gluten free dumplings were fantastic - so tasty. Can’t wait to come back again!

Jamie Freese

They were very accommodating/knowledgeable to gluten friendly choices and were able to clearly communicate which dishes they could make for me. I had the vegetable rice noodles and they were delicious. It is a shared kitchen.

Arshveen Hora

I visited from East Auckland today, and it was worth the drive. Olivia's kitchen staff are so welcoming. They reassured me and helped me several times to pick the right options for gluten-free options. The person behind the counter was extremely helpful. The food itself is amazing. Our items were of great quality and I have not had good GF Asian food in so long. Thank you so much, we hope to visit again. :)

Rose Brown

Really quick service, a good-sized glass of wine. Food is very good value, large servings. Have a lot of gluten-free options

Susanna De Villiers

My favourite dish at Satori for a birthday lunch was superb. Love the Gluten free day on Tuesdays! Fantastic dining without fear of issues later on. Love this place and it is becoming a repeat experience!

Alice Parker

Fantastic chicken pad Thai! Absolutely delicious. Wok express is our ‘go to’ due to my dietary requirements (coeliac/ dairy free).

Josh Gray

Great tasting Thai, can do a lot of the dishes gluten free just ask

Danielle Peck

Fantastic Vietnamese eatery. Everything tasted fresh and was super flavourful. I especially recommend the lemongrass tofu, which was especially rich in flavour. Almost everything on the menu is gluten and dairy friendly, and also plenty of vegetarian dishes on offer.

Barry Williams

I have been a regular at woknnoodle mt Eden for many years now and the food is always outstanding and well priced for the size of portions. The staff always have a warm welcome and will go out of their way to accommodate requests. They also offer gluten free, oil free & low carb options

Jourdene Rosella Aguon

Special thanks to Naked Chopstic/The Sushi Store! My coeliac fams needed something safe to eat, and these folks came in clutch! We loved the tamago rolls, California rolls, salmon avocado rolls! They woke today STILL FREE FROM GLUTEN.

Kenneth Burnell

Massive shout out to Rovi! Thank you for always going the extra mile to cater for our dietaries. As a coeliac and my partner being pregnant, we appreciate you making special meals for us both! Always great service, excellent quality and will always be back :) see you soon!

Sally Britten

So good! Plenty of options for gluten free.

Peter Coxhead

Great food and service. If you like Malaysian food (who doesn't?) This is a great option. My nephew has allergy with gluten and they took extra care with his food. Amazing

Meghan Bridgwater

Incredible lunch, could not fault it. The food and service were the highlights for sure but the atmosphere and decor were great too. Every single dish we ordered was delicious, the Pacifica Ceviche was the highlight. The menu sounded really interesting and delicious and it lived up to those expectations. The menu was very clear on what was vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free. The service from the whole team was great, attentive and informative, especially from our main server Olivia. She was really friendly and professional but still felt like being served by a friend which is exactly what I enjoy about nz hospo. The level of service from each team member was fantastic and I wish them all the best over this crazy season

Kelly Gray

Staff were awesome, can cater for coeliac needs

Kara Phelps

James Boult

Ramen Takara makes some of the best Ramen in Auckland, and do by far the most delicious gluten free Ramen.

Pravina Bhuva

Great vegetarian and Gluten free option,

Winnie 2609

A very good menu with fresh, healthy and gluten free choices.

Isabel Richardson

Great sushi. Awesome knowledge of gluten free and celiac. Had the teriyaki chicken sushi and it was delicious.

Len McGrane

This welcoming, family-run restaurant must have the most customer-friendly menu book in the entire city! The dishes are presented by category ... but each group is kept to just one page. Easy-read headings. Large text size. Simple, satisfactory dish descriptions. The food was all (?) gluten free. Our shared dish was delicious. It's a no-nonsense establishment with a relaxed comfortable vibe. When we were there it seemed like at least two tables were taken by regulars, which is an excellent recommendation. You'll enjoy it as much as we did.

Emma Ward

My favourite Thai place in Wellington! Delicious food, great flavours and spices, reasonable price point. Great options for a range of dietaries. Have been with a big group including gluten free, vegan and dairy free and everyone’s found something delicious to eat. Highly recommend the red curry and alcoholics noodles.

Ginger Williams

Amazing place!! Cosy, very kind friendly staff, a whole gluten free menu!! Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!

Jill McKie

Delicious food, great coffee and good service. The Thai green curry with coconut tofu was amazing! Good vegan and gluten free options.

Dave Pearson

"Wow, I think this is my new favourite eatery", I told my family, while still browsing the menu. This is the kind of food I love and it was excellent. I absolutely loved the dinner here and left so full I was uncomfortably content. It's a great atmosphere and the waiting staff were friendly and professional. Seems to have plenty of gluten free options available for Coeliacs which pleased my wife and food came reasonably quickly too. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu.

Carolyn Hooper

Rosie Foster

Amazing meal at Sushi Train! Loads of gluten free and vegan options which was so nice, great service and tasty food.

Reda_Katz

Despite how busy the resturant was the service was friendly and fast. The food is excellent and plenty of option for vegetarians, vegans, dairy free and/or gluten free individuals. Strongly recommend enjoying a meal here.

Graeme Biggs

Great service, tasty food, good service, friendly staff. Lots of gluten free options. Complimentary satay chicken nibbled provided.

Angela Schroder

Great Sushi and very friendly staff, they even make gluten free Sushi!

Steph Newcombe

Never been in store but buy on uber. They never disappointed and have a great selection of gluten free options which actually taste good. They are respectful about other allergies and always have been able to take out any onion for me.

Izzy Byrne-Ladbrook

Delicious, I love this place. Soooo many gluten free things. They have amazing vege spring rolls (unfortunately not GF, but my flatmate bought and devoured 10).

Tom Wilson

Me and my partner went here and had lunch on the balcony, absolutely delicious food, albeit smaller portions - but filling. My partner is celiac, so we went for the Gluten Free options as the dishes are made to be shared. We ordered the Thai Black Beef Salad & the Chicken Skewers... no problems, chicken was cooked to perfection and the sauce was unparalleled. Beef had a little bit of gristle but overall was very tender & flavourful. Will definitely recommend & visit again.
