Top 9 Gluten-Free Asian Spots to Explore in Palo Alto

Ed McGettigan

Unique fully gluten free Asian street food restaurant. We always know that it is safe to go to an Asian box. Very small seating area inside, but plenty of seating.

Very good authentic Japanese restaurant. The udon is very nice as well as the sushi. Even the ice cream for dessert was amazing. Service is very professional. They were very helpful with gluten intolerance.

🥂 Tamarine Restaurant & Gallery 📍 546 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301 Originally, I just wanted to eat Vietnamese food to cool down because the temperature was rising. But when I entered the restaurant, I found out that it was #Michelin recommended! The appetizer is a four-course platter Tamarine Taste (serves two) Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls, Tea Leaf Beef, Taro Root Rolls, and Papaya Salad. Serves two. Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls Fresh rice paper rolls filled with shrimp, sous vide pork, bean sprouts lettuce mix, and mint with a hoisin sauce. It contains mint and fish sauce. Taro Root Rolls Vegetarian. Crisp rolls filled with taro root, carrots, mushrooms and glass noodles, served with plum chili sauce. (Cannot be made gluten-free) Vietnamese fried spring rolls Tea Leaf Beef Gluten-free. Ground beef, onion, garlic and tamari wrapped in a wild tea leaf, grilled and served with chili fish sauce. Less commonly seen tea rolls Papaya Salad is paired with something similar to beef jerky, which is a bit salty and hard to understand😣 Tiger Prawns & Garlic Noodles $39 Grilled tiger prawns wok-tossed with egg noodles, Parmesan cheese, oyster sauce, Fresno chile-garlic, & Vietnamese cilantro. The popular garlic noodles, the prawns have been peeled for us to make it easier to eat. Clay Pot Cod $31 Gluten-free. Alaskan black cod caramelized in onion, garlic, black pepper and molasses. Ah Jun loves cod cooking, but it is rare to see this kind of cooking in the United States. Most of them are Japanese miso fish. Service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 When I made the reservation, I accidentally chose to celebrate my birthday, so I got a sorbet as a gift. The berry and coconut ones are very rich🥥 A high-quality restaurant that I would like to visit again. I haven’t found it before working in #paloalto for almost half a year🤨 #winnie_inbayarea #winnie_eat #infatuation #infatuationsf #bayarea #bayareafood #vietnamfood #vietnamesecuisine #bayareaeats #bayareafoodie #salad #shrimp #noodles #prawn #cod #michelin #birthday #sorbet #San Francisco Food #United States #food #foodie #Vietnamese Food #Bay Area

Really, really good food. Best chicken satay I've ever had. Everything on the menu looked good and I'll be back to try other stuff. Full bar including some cool house cocktails. I didn't try one, but my companions drinks were good. They also were very accommodating for gluten free and vegetarian options. I'll be back. Great outdoor patio and staff was super friendly and helpful.

I moved out of state but this is at the top of my list every time I visit home. Delicious, flavorful, just-right levels of spicy comfort food. It’s hard for me to find Chinese food with my food allergies and gluten intolerance but Susan the hostess is extremely allergen-aware. She will straight up tell me when I should skip an ingredient because she can’t be sure the source is free of contamination. I always get a safe and delicious meal (the dry wok hot pot tofu is a must)! Thank you Susan and Nong!!

Best Thai food ever! *Please support small biz! Please call to order directly so they don’t have to pay ridiculous fees w door dash or whoever… The display was beautiful, but I didn’t catch a photo till it was too late, so please excuse the pics here for not effectively resenting all the TLC they put into making the presentation and delicious taste and quality of the food! The order: chicken pad Thai (peanuts on the side!), fresh rolls (vegetarian with an amazing sauce!), pumpkin curry, brown rice, samosa. It was really nice to have so many gluten free and vegetarian options so everyone was satisfied! We had about 15-20 people. Everyone had seconds and had enough leftovers to take home, too. Well worth the price and everyone is grateful for quality leftovers! Thank you Lotus Thai Bistro in Palo Alto! Our expectations were well exceeded!

Excellent, small sushi place with outdoor and indoor seating. Call to make a reservation as it tends to be booked up quickly. Had option for gluten free soy sauce and can accommodate allergens, although some dishes can't be fully celiac friendly. Omakase sushi options, rolls, handrolls, Nigri and sashimi available and delicious. Good selection of sake too. Super sushi restaurant.
