Top 16 Gluten-Free Asian Dining Spots to Explore in Connecticut

Karen LaFleur

I love the GF version of General Tso Chicken.

Elizabeth Fuqua

Obsessed with PF Chang’s. Been coming since I was in elementary school with my family as they have some of the most amazing gluten free apps/entrees people with celiac could ever imagine. The egg drop soup is to die for and the Chang’s spicy chicken has a sweet sauce with just enough spice. My partner loves the pad thai as well saying it’s slightly sweet with a classic pad thai flavor. I will forever miss the gluten free chocolate dome dessert with the berry sauce, but they still have GREAT options and I will be coming back many more times in the future. Love this place. 15/10.

Tons of Gluten Free Options! Take allergy serious.

Zane Carey

They really know their gluten free and vegan food. I've been coming here for 7 years. My husband and I plan trips around it since we live over an hour away. Love the new space.

I recently returned to Connecticut and discovered a fantastic spot in Greenwich called Island Fin Poke. I was pleasantly surprised to find ample parking available for the weekend. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Jessica. As a newcomer who had heard about this place from a friend, she inquired about my origin, and we had a brief chat. Jessica’s exceptional communication skills and hospitality truly impressed me. She provided detailed explanations about the menu, including gluten-free options and the food preparation process. I also expressed my interest in their soda machine and ice cream. To top it off, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner. I wholeheartedly give this place a perfect 10-star rating for its parking convenience, hospitality, friendliness, knowledgeability, cleanliness, and, most importantly, the delicious food! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. I can’t wait to return! Stacey L. Gillespie Owner of Alpha Female Wear

Lillian Sherman-Godfrey

Extremely celiacs concious and attentive! There weren't any on menu soups that were gf vegetarian/pescatarian options, so the kitchen staff and manager David personalized a great soup I could eat. I think anyone with celiacs will feel very safe eating here, and especially reccomend for gluten free people that eat meat!

Anadee Orrell

Ordered the gluten free chicken dumplings and Thai basil fried rice. The dumplings were a bit doughy but I was blown away by how accommodating the gluten free options were :)! The fried rice was absolutely delicious and they were able to make it not spicy! Portion size for the rice was great too!

Dorothy Boone

Overall, it was a fantastic evening! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our gluten-free guest. The atmosphere was lively and added to the enjoyment. While the dipping sauces were not traditional, they were still delicious. The chef's performance was outstanding.

I would give 0 if I could. Manager couldn’t have been worse. He sat my friend and I, telling us he’d be our server. 20 minutes later our server came over and had no idea we were in his section, with no knowledge of the menu or how to help with gluten allergies. He had to go to the manager several times to ask questions and would give excuses why he didn’t know instead of asking and confirming the food was safe for our consumption when told it was for serious reasons. When it took 20 minutes for our drinks (in a near empty restaurant) I requested to speak to the manager after a server I flagged down gave us a series of excuses about how the bartender was out when she was clearly behind the bar on her phone. The manager gave me a slew of excuses why the service was so slow for an empty restaurant with 2 visible to- go orders, and why he was ignoring us this entire time despite being in full view of us not being attended to. Unfortunately, the service only got worse with our server and the manager never checked on us again. The dining experience ended with a heated exchange between the manager and server telling me how I was wrong for his mistakes (when I have many years of experience in all forms of food service and positions), after the manager tried completely ignoring me and leaving it to the server to deal with the issues that he caused due to lack of communication or direction. The manager started making a barrage of personal attacks at me claiming that I was here for a free meal, when I have ample means to support myself and would only go out with full intention to tip my server well. I was insulted over and over while I was waiting for the manager to adjust the price on the handheld toast he continued for over 5 minutes. Then the server had the audacity of claiming I was giving them trouble “because I was white” insinuating that this was a racially motivated attack. This is not only insulting to my character but to my heritage and personal character and beliefs. He also only said this because the manager allowed him to continuously chime in instead of caring about customers. At this point, the manager tried to correct his server's implication by immediately chiming in that he would completely comp our meal. Nobody deserves to be treated this way. I tried standing up for myself, and should've left within the first 20 minutes. I understand this now because service like this is never worth it. I hope the manager realizes soon that this action will not work out for him in the long run, as this is the 3rd negative lunch review for just this week…

I frequently get takeout from sweet mango and have never been disappointed. Amazing food and knowledgeable about gluten allergies! The owner is super friendly and very sweet!

Harvey Lopez

BEST GLUTEN FREE PAD THAI EVER

Stephanie Santoro

Delicious, safe pho and spring rolls! I’ve been eating here for years as a celiac and never gotten sick. I’ve eaten many dishes on the menu and the staff are knowledgeable about what is safe.

nicole gioffre

Upset I have a gluten allergy, I noted that but they still put gluten on my food had to eaten that I would’ve been super sick

Ethan Ruben

Very accommodating and friendly service. They are a very good choice for gluten free.

When we walked in the gentleman who works with the sushi was wearing gloves touching fixtures around the restaurant, never changed them and went back to his job behind the sushi counter. When we were given serving plates I put them to the side because there was hair and food adhered to them still. When we went to the restroom they were reset at the table instead of being changed out. I ordered a meal off the regular menu and was given the one advertised as a weight loss/keto option instead and informed it was gluten free though pretty sure all rice is technically gluten free. I asked for chili sauce because the order I requested was supposed to be spicy though the one I was served was bland and was given Sriracha even though they had other options. When we came out from the restroom it was being discussed how its odd we were using the restroom and we were being spoken about in a dialect/language other than English amongst our waitress and another. I've also been ill for 3 days since eating there. We went because it was a family favorite due to food options but the cleanliness factor etc may stop us returning.

Sarah

It's good. They also follow instructions and allow substitutions and gluten free options.

(Alli) The Gluten Free Gal’s Guide

Lots of gluten free options available and clearly indicated on the menu.

Zachary Kline

Remarkable family business with a home-like atmosphere and novel recipes and taste. The homemade smoked sauce and Belgian Mousse are must haves! Celiac and allergy safe, too. (Gluten free)

Matt Vilanova

Phenomenal drinks - Amazing food - Friendly staff This is a go-to spot for my wife and I, she’s got celiac, and to know there’s a place where she can eat almost anything in the menu is awesome - especially because everything is absolutely delicious

Scott Handelman

Incredible food, great atmosphere! Tons of Gluten Free options!

Shan B

I love that they can make your hibachi gluten free ! The staff was very knowledgeable about what contains gluten and very accommodating with subbing out the noodles for extra rice!

Adam Therrien

Food is amazing, absolutely the best Chinese food I've ever had. Great portion size, the food is so fresh and clean tasting. Great place for gluten free dinner

Madelynn Bonfiglio

we hired La Tavola pizza truck for our backyard wedding and it far exceeded any expectations we had for a pizza truck! Not only did they come right on time, they showed up in the coolest vehicle ever.. an old fire truck decked out with music, an awning, a movie playing on 3 screens, colored lights, and smiles on their faces! Pizzas were served non stop and being eaten faster than they can cook! Everyone loved the pizza, the dough was incredible with that classic wood fire char and flavor. They customized pizzas for people when they asked without hesitation! We had a gluten free guest and they brought gluten free dough just for her. and she told me, not only was that the best gluten free pizza she’s ever had but, the best pizza she’s ever had! They were so gracious they even gave her the leftover gluten free dough!! The espresso and gelato for dessert was an amazing added bonus. They made our backyard wedding the perfect day, I would recommend hiring them for any occasion; it will elevate your party to the max!

Maggie Stettenbenz

Food was wonderful and Sam C, our server, was absolutely lovely. Plenty of gluten free options. We'll be back for sure!

Peter Michael Marino

Amazing service and food PLUS, gluten free options. Great vibe. Do it!

giselle alicea

Food is always so flavorful and it comes out every quick. They have so many gluten free options which I love. I have been to this restaurant several times and never disappoints.

F. V

Best sushi in CT hands down. No exaggeration. My sister and I are regulars and we have loved it since day one, which is why we kept coming back for more. The prices are also reasonable and they have lunch special deals. Try the shrimp tempura and chicken tempura with yum yum sauce with a side of fried rice! My sister always gets gluten-free soy sauce and they always have it ready for her since they know us so well now :) Thank you Fancy Sushi!!

Clara Roby

Best food I’ve ever had! Can make hibachi dinners gluten free, and it tastes absolutely amazing! Great service, too!

Olivia Wilson

Fantastic place!!! I have a gluten allergy and they have the best GF menu I have seen for Asian food. So yummy and great service too!

Kate Valentine

The food is always fresh and delicious! I have food allergies and I’ve never had an issue here. They are very good about gluten free options and are kid friendly. We order take out from her and dine in about the same amount and have always been very pleased with the service. We love Land of Thai!

Kendall Richey

We had someone with celiacs in our party and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful to figure out what was safe from cross contamination. We had the pho and edamame which were both prepared gluten free. We will definitely add Mecha to our regular rotation.

Victoria Uustal

GREAT service here! It's a very small restaurant but there's always a lot of takeout orders, so they're busy but the service when you dine in is superb. We hadn't been in for months and when we went for dinner last night the waitress remembered my husband's drink order and that I needed gluten free soy sauce without us saying anything. The food is good, nothing spectacular but it's a great place to grab a nice inexpensive meal.

Veronica Parsloe

Plenty of gluten-free options. I got the drunken noodles and bok choy (which I rarely find). A refreshing variety!

Rebekah Francisco

Thai Bowl is one of my favorite places! Their Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and soups are delicious (and can be made gluten free). Their P3 soup is similar to Pho Thai for those who enjoy pho. I definitely recommend Thai Bowl!

Sam Bath

The service was great, the food was awesome. They have a very good selection of gluten free food. We have two people in our family that have Siliacs, and the owner personally made recommendations to ensure our entire family could enjoy their experience.

Danna Valentina Sanchez Hernandez

Food was amazing!! The waitress however seemed to want to rush clientele out, even though we were one of two tables dinning in and the rest of the restaurant was empty. Great gluten-free options

Paula Kirsch

Gluten free Pad Thai

Ian Clark

Great place for lunch! We'll try dinner next time. Good choice for gluten free options.

Nicholas Balboni

Being a guy with a Gluten issue, I am always a bit worried about Asian cuisines, but being a Asian cuisine lover, this place is amazing. Gf foods are clearly marked. The food was amazing, well made, good char on the Spicy Teriyaki Chicken as it should be, the Fried rice was great, and the vegetables were delicious. I was highly impressed. The staff was Friendly and happy. I'm only sad that I haven't stopped in sooner.

Evan Warren

Not only is this one of the best choices in the area for delicious and amazing sushi, but they are also super in tune to special requests. We have been ordering from them for years and avoiding anything with “crunch” due to a gluten allergy. But after ordering one night and on a whim asking for a roll to be “without crunch” and it came just so, we then tried the next time for a few others and indicated that there was a gluten allergy. To our surprise and overjoyed exuberance, the food arrived with a container of soy sauce marked Gluten Free. We had not asked for that nor expected it but it was so above and beyond that this restaurant has proven without a doubt that we will be loyal to them for years to come. Fantastic folks, genuine food, and an amazing customer service attitude mean if you are not eating at Soga Sushi you are surely missing out.

Dominic Zmarlicki

Generous portions, large and interesting menu, at very reasonable prices: what more can you ask for! My wife has gotten me into sushi, it’s places like this that continue to surprise me. Little unexpected hole in the wall. Clearly this is a lunch place for many people but the food makes it great for a dinner too. This is one of my new favorite places and I highly recommend. Do remember sushi is a great option for lots of protein, little carbs, and acceptable for many gluten intolerant folks.

J B

We had a great dinner at Liki! We all had rolls. Everyone that works there is so nice and accommodating. I have a gluten sensitivity and the chef came over to tell me what I could order. I highly recommend the Sarah Roll made GF. We also love the house salad which they have GF dressing for.

Mr. E.

Overall, this is not a bad place. It is a little hard ordering as all the menus seem to be out of date, and it is incredibly difficult to fine anything correct online. The quality of the food is good, and some of the dishes can be made gluten free. Located in the heart of Bloomfield's business district, this quaint restaurant has been serving the local community for more years than a than a May Fly's day's are short.

Christy Matthews

Great place to grab lunch and they even have gluten free options for those of us with celiac. Fun decor, a great addition to west Hartford

M

The food is always good, the gluten free stuff is labeled, everyone who works there have always been very nice, and the live plants always look happy. The only poke place in the area I order from.

Chuck Ring

Good food and service..have GLUTEN ALLERGY AND THEY RESPONDED very well

Alyce Coleman

They kindly offered gluten-free soy sauce when we mentioned an allergy.

Laura M

I’ve been gluten-free since 2009 and I usually get “poisoned” at sushi/Japanese places. The waitress and owner here are very knowledgeable about gluten. My husband said the ramen is delicious and the dumplings were amazing. Will definitely be coming back.

Savannah Dumond

First time going to lunch here with my husband and it was fantastic! I have gluten and dairy sensitivities, so it was great to see they had GF ramen and DF boba tea. Ramen was very flavorful and delicious. We had crab bao as an appetizer too, which was amazing! Will be coming back here often for our monthly ramen fix

S M K

Really good food and very nice waitstaff. We treated our friends to dinner here after they helped us move. Everyone complimented the food and it was served quickly and without a hitch (impressive considering the size of our group). One member of our party also had a gluten sensitivity and the staff found a way to make the tangerine beef gluten free! Definitely going back in the future.
