Top 50 Gluten-Free Asian Culinary Havens Across California

Geoff Brown

Best Chow Fun we have found and a good gluten free menu which is not easy to find for a Chinese restaurant.

Incredible bowl of noodles! I have a gluten-free diet so it can be hard to find good pho/ramen. And the photo speaks for itself on how much I liked my bowl of rice noodles! Perfectly cooked and seasoned meat, rich broth, and just the right amount. I loved having the extras on the side so that I could personalize the flavoring. As for the atmosphere, I loved the Disco music softly playing but the chairs were a little uncomfortable.

Food was ok, came out quickly and service was great but it was busy and relatively loud while we were dining. The ramen was the most disappointing to me- noodles seemed borderline overcooked and the broth was just salty but with little actual flavour. I found it to be some of the more blah vegan dishes I’ve had in a while. It was either super spicy or just tasted like rice. The vegan cream cheese seemed a little off to be honest but that’s on me for not saying anything. I will say they’re great at accommodating allergies as I’ve heard they’ve accommodated gluten free + avocado allergy.

One of my favorite restaurants in SF! So many naturally gluten free options. The catfish, bun cha, and the chow fun are amazing. Highly recommend

Easter Bohanon

I’ve been here quite a lot, it’s not the best gluten free Ramen I’ve ever had but it is very good. Their best dish for me is their rock shrimp. Completely gluten free and the sushi is very delicious. It is on the more expensive side and it is very small. There are some places to park in the area. Definitely recommend if you want to appease a ramen craving.

Fantastic food and very lively energy! I have celiac disease and I was so excited to find gluten free options here and our server was knowledgeable about allergies. Every dish is made to order so they're able to make customizations based on dietary needs. Cocktails were awesome too. Super excited to have found this spot, looking forward to coming back soon.

Ash was such a helpful server. He helped me navigate the gluten free menu. And he was so attentive and really went above and beyond! Thank you Ash!

Clarissa Maloney

Gluten free: menu was pretty lacking. Our rolls were a bit bland and they won't adjust their specials, such as the $70 for Two dinner, to incorporate gluten free options even when it's a simple swap. That enough soured me to not want to come back. I found it a bit overpriced for the food we got, considering it was plainer than the regular rolls but cost the same. Go elsewhere, like Kru or Fish Face. Servers were great, it's just an administrative issue on how they run their menu for those of us with special dietary needs.

Lulu

Great gluten free options 😁 the food was pretty good. I would come here again . The staff were very knowledgeable about if things were dairy-free as well which is another allergy I have a long with gluten.

Taryn Solis

The food here was amazing! From the fruit water they spend hours making to the in house gluten free bread (you'd never know) and the in house made fermented mock meats this was such a good meal. We had the fish balls and two classic banh mi sandwiches.

Deena Dickey

Madison Vanderklay

Such good food and kind staff. Their melon shiso cocktail is incredible and refreshing! Many good gluten free options and staff is very well informed on cross contamination and trace gluten.

Not only is everything fresh, they also accommodate gluten and shellfish allergies. Our favorite is the 2 for $70 deal. Definitely enough food to share and you get dessert. We've tried almost everything and enjoy the differences each roll has.

Kaylah Aleman

Close to the pier so super convenient!! Love love LOVE that it’s all gluten free! huge perk, staff was helpful and quick. Awesome experience!

Steve Sprinkle

Supannee has long been our favotire That restaurant in San Diego, but yesterday we used their catering services for the first time, and were very, very pleased with our experience. The staff was skilled in helping us devise a menu for our guests and their different dietary preferences (gluten free, vegan), and the food and service was amazing. We will continue to frequent the restaurant and we will continue to take advantage of their fabulous catering service!

Colleen King

Norrito salad and shrimp are last meal level good. Lots of gluten free options. Ambiance and service are just ok.

Mary Maas

THE BEST Ramen I've had! Can't wait to go back and try a different one. I had the signature pork, and the pork belly just melts in your mouth....not the broth!. Delicious! Also HUGE selling point, which brought us there was the Gluten Free Ramen!. My kiddo, who is GF said the noodles were just ok, but the rest of the soup was yummy!. Can't find many GF Ramen places so we will definitely be back! The desserts are fun and tasty as well!

Amazing all gluten free ramen and sushi! Felt like being in Japan again. Food and service were both great. Thanks Jason!

Anastazia Souchitski

My partner and I tried Shojin today and it was incredible. From the amazing customer service, to the delicious sushi rolls, I cant recommend this place enough. The staff were so polite and helpful. I have a gluten allergy, and the staff immediately explained that they are a gluten-free restaurant and even pointed out the other allergy-free options (such as soy-free). We are definitely coming back here soon!

Jen Senlio

Staff was knowledgeable about Gluten Free items, food was delicious!

Sean Walton

The amount of bad reviews on this establishment is a travesty. The food here was really good. The brunch box sauce had a good flavor. The peanut sauce was great. The breakfast bahn mi was awesome. And best of all this place is 100% dedicated gluten free which is a life saver for my toddler who has celiac. The bread on the bahn mi was the best GF bread I’ve ever had. So thank you to the owner and staff for this establishment. Whenever i layover in San Fran i will be stopping here every time. I don’t care how long the walk is.

Amanda Smith

Awesome fried chicken and sauces Chicken also happens to be gluten free!

Jack Watters

Called this location because the Mill Valley location’s phone was jot working. The worker was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with helping us ensure that we wouldn’t run into any celiac- related food issues. Have not gotten food from this location but the MV location is good. Blown away by the service - wish I had gotten the workers name.

N H

Quick and fresh. Gluten free options here.

Christelle Salomon

Delicious meal at such a fair price! It's hard to eat out and not feel like I'm spending and arm and a leg, or not getting my money's worth. But Udupi was a great value and everything was so tasty!! The vegetable korma was so crunchy! The paratha so flaky and great with the Chana masala and the dipping sauces that came with the dosa! The dosa was so large and yummy! Many gluten free options, and wait staff was very patient with all of our questions.

Elisha Verhaar

Delicious ramen! The gluten free noodles were the best, and the broth can be made gluten free as well. Celiac friendly, didn't have a reaction! Try with the cheese, it's a surprising addition, and it comes on the side so you can adjust to your taste. A bit pricey, especially for the additional ingredients and GF noodles. I didn't like the impersonal ordering via a screen instead of with a waiter, but I guess I get it from the restaurant's perspective...

Margie Mitchell

One of the best Thai food restaurants with extensive gluten free and vegetarian offering. Our party of five loved the Tamarind chicken which was mildly sweet and spicy. We loved it so much that we ordered a second order. The curried short ribs and pineapple fried rice were also delectable. Strongly recommend this restaurant.

Lauren Gerstmann

Delicious. One dish was better than the next. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff is very nice. They gave us a complementary appetizer, Papadum, chutney, plus dessert. They also have plentiful gluten-free options available, and are very knowledgeable about safety. When we ordered a dish spicy, it actually came with the perfect amount of spice. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Kate Gaffney

From food, to service (Andrew), to management (Ricardo), they run this place like it is some fancy restaurant like Spago and that is beyond impressive. My mom and I went here on a lark and it made our day! To have an experience where you want for nothing, your drinks are always refilled promptly, and the food tastes amazing, you can't be disappointed. Then, when your server (Andrew) hears you off-handedly mention that you can't eat gluten and he realizes you ordered something with gluten in it, he stops what he is doing and has it remade so you can eat, you're going to feel like a VIP. TLDR - When you come here, ask for Andrew. He was BEYOND conscientious, kind, went above and beyond, and could willingly accommodate some dietary restrictions. If I had a restaurant I would actually woo him away from here. Good service is rare these days, and they have it in spades here!

Nicholas Zepponi

It's a Punk Rock themed Japanese (mostly) gluten-free restaurant that specializes in fried chicken (get the fried chicken, trust me). If that description doesn't entice you, you're probably not cool enough for this place anyway. Basically only thing that isn't gluten-free are some of the beer options (there are gluten-free options too)-great for me as my wife has the allergy and I like gluten in my beer. Glad we stumbled across this place.

Mary Carbajal

We had a fabulous dinner. You can’t find a better beach view. The ambiance is warm, comfortable and beautiful. The food was excellent. I’m so tired of having mediocre food and being disappointed. The service was outstanding. Our server was attentive and made good suggestions. I can’t wait to go back. There were so many things I wanted to try. They have a gluten free menu which made ordering food easy. This will be a favorite place !

I love Sweetfin! I have celiac so it is such a pleasure to eat at a restaurant where I do not have to worry. Our meal on Sunday was perfect! That being said, this particular location is hit-or-miss on getting the order correct. The Culver City location is my favorite - the manager and the whole team go out of their way to make your meal perfect. The SM is just closer to us.

Jennifer Calton

I love the options here and the service. Everyone is so sweet and I can get gluten free options. I love the gluten free honey walnut shrimp. This is honestly my favorite place.

Betsy

Food was a hit! Everyone devoured each bite from Tea leaf salad to black pudding dessert. Gluten free options were available. Chicken biryani was bursting with flavor!

Michelle Nguyen

We've been here quite a few times and every experience has been amazing! Great food and great staff! Every server we have had has been so kind and takes our gluten/shellfish allergy very seriously. Never had an issue :). Highly recommend this place!

Robert Wilson

Every time I have gotten a meal here, I have had a fantastic meal, outstanding customer service and a good experience. All of their produce is organic, and there are plenty of options for everyone, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and meat options. Some of their options include teriyaki chicken, garlic tofu, and teriyaki salmon, which come with jasmine rice (or noodles) pickled vegetables and spring onions, or they have sandwiches, soups, salads and noodle bowls as well. The meals are well priced, and you can choose takeout or to sit down in their covered patio area. The staff are friendly, and there is parking (but, on a busy night, it could fill up). Overall, this is a great, affordable and yummy option in Santa Cruz and I would highly recommend it!

Sam was out waitress and she was awesome ! Super nice & great energy. I appreciate her making sure the kitchen got my order correct & asked them to remake my plate because I needed it to be gluten free.

Russell Hill

Very good fast Asian dishes. Gluten free items as well!

Krista Lambert

Jennifer Rose-Nussbaumer

We had the worst service experience here. We waited forever for our food which arrived cold. Hygiene was also a concern. We saw the cashier using the same gloves to ring people up and prepare food. My son found 3 hairs in his chicken wings. Even though we have celiac and appreciate the gluten free aspect very much, we won’t be returning.

Avery

Gluten free ramen 🍜 🌶️

Nick Steinberg

Impeccable vibes and service here. Absolutely delicious, high quality ingredients…and one of the only places I know that makes gluten-free naan bread, that is so good! Whenever I come here I feel like I’m traveling to India, even though I’ve never been. They are as authentic as it gets.

Erik Kruse

Super tasty gluten free ramen! So glad we found this place and the service and food were both excellent. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for delicious noodles - both gluten free and with gluten! The chicken and pork were both fantastic!

Au Lac is one of my favorite places for great vegan food and a relaxing atmosphere. This place offers both cooked and live raw vegan items on the menu. Even meat eaters like myself can enjoy vegan dishes with an open mind. Many dishes are also gluten-free. Food I've tried and enjoyed. • The Chicken Lemongrass has been my go-to, and I recommend it to anyone who still eats meat and wants to try something different but with a familiar taste and texture. • Yellow Noodles were a delicious bowl of light yet savory mushroom broth, fresh ingredients, a mix of vegan proteins, and thin noodles. • BBQ "Pork” Roll is a light starter with a tasty peanut sauce. • Salt & Peppered "Shrimp" - I enjoyed this, and the texture is close to an actual shrimp • The Paella is a pleasant and tasty surprise, with big slices of avocados and a blend of fresh ingredients. • Bun No.35 is a refreshing dish that fills you up without feeling heavy. Pour the soy fish sauce over the ingredients and mix well! • Curried Rice has a cool presentation, and the live food and fresh ingredients are delicious and filling. A few of my friends also enjoyed this dish. Elixirs, juices, teas, and smoothies can satisfy your taste buds and your body. Vegan desserts are also worth a try. Recently, they added vegan cakes! The staff and service are always friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our meal in the chill atmosphere with booth and table seating. Looking forward to returning and trying more!

I have an autoimmune issue so I need to eat a gluten-free diet which can make eating out difficult. I love that they have organic ingredients and offer gluten-free noodles. I had the truffle waygu pho with garlic and it was delicious. Definitely coming back.

Shikha Patel

Food is incredible. Will definitely visit again. Definitely a great spot with multiple vegetarian vegan, and gluten free options. Limited seating so accommodating big groups would be difficult. Parking was easily available. Really homey vibe and the employees made us feel welcomed as well.
