The best and freshest gluten-free hand rolls I’ve ever had, FYI- I have celiac.

Ariel West

delicious! Amazing to not have to think about gluten at all.

Rylie Houston

So many gluten free options! Sooooo happy. It’s inside Friedman’s btw. I was confused. Get the tangerine chicken & the chicken dumplings with spicy vinaigrette. Yum.

Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu

Food was tasty, a little pricey. Solid gluten-free options.

Jake Cameron

This place is fantastic! We went for a quick cocktail, but ended up staying for dinner as the happy hour food menu had some great options. Fantastic service, cocktails, and food across the board (also several gluten free options). Looking forward to returning!

I've been going to because I have celiac disease and they are 100% gluten-free but Unfortunately, I recently tested their food with my Nima sensor, and it found gluten, which made me really sick and almost sent me to the hospital. It's super important for places that serve gluten-free food to make sure it's actually safe for people with celiac disease. Do better the owner insured me no gluten very disappointed. Please contact me if you want to confirm I’m being honest so people with cealic don’t get sick. The food is great if you don’t have cealic

A super cool experience with amazing food. I only have a picture of the Tofu Steak, which was great. I loved the pancake platter appetizer and the baby dumplings. I will say I'm not a huge fan of vegan sushi I've had in the past but this one was great, just as good as " normal " sushi. Also- unless you're getting a ton of stuff, it's not insanely expensive. The "$50-$100" isn't wrong, but you can get a good meal for $30/40 if you just want an entree or to split an app or 2. I definitely recommend! Oop- and there's a gluten free menu too.

Stella Lemel

Wow! The food was amazing. Many options for vegan and gluten free.

Brandy

As a gluten free girlie, this is one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in the city. I get the pad thai and it's consistently delicious. Also, the staff is always attentive but today Kade helped me and she was absolutely lovely. Kind smile, super sweet, and on point with everything! Loved it.

Absolutely top quality food and service, good value for money, as well as a good selection of gluten-free options. Highly recommended.

This place has been around the upper east side for a very long time and it never disappoints! It's definitely pricier than other Chinese places in the area but they serve higher quality food that is less greasy, less sweet, and less salty. They also serve dim sum all day. With all that being said, some of their dishes are still catered to the western palate but it is still better than other places in the area. Here are some of my favorite items from them Fried egg rolls. Their egg rolls are legit. It's giant, filling and crispy. Hot and sour soup. Very good and filling. Perfect for colder days. Walnut prawns. Very big prawns that are flavored in this nice sweet and savory white sauce with fried walnuts. Sautéed pea shoot. Very good while getting your fibers in. Shrimp with black bean sauce and mined pork. Very good and flavorful. Turnip cakes. Delicious and crispy. Chives and shrimp patty. Lots of flavor. They also have lots of gluten free options here. Service is always top notch. Overall a solid spot on the UES

GLUTEN FREE GOODNESS!!! Just let your server know you are GF/Celiac and they will make sure you get everything GF! Most al the sauces are already GF yet they ensure especially if you order the larger family courses that you are also able to enjoy them!

Griffin Addison

Cute, cozy, small. Food was quite good! Thai with hints of fusion, done well. We had the red curry and the salted egg pasta. The curry was more traditional (and good) whereas the pasta was a very well done Asian-flavored pasta dish. Gluten free and vegetarian options available (and labeled), as well!

Jessica Lebovits, RD, CDN

Amazing pad Thai. Menu is marked, always have a good experience

Ann Craig

Cha Pa was perfect. Lota of vegan and gluten free options with no sacrifice of flavor. Everything was delicious! Service was great and the coata were very reasonable.

India Chance

Hands down BEST vegan sushi! I have traveled around the world for work & have tried vegan food in many places, this is one of the top for me. What I most appreciated was how gluten free friendly they were…I was greeted by a wonderful server who immediately accommodated me with all the options & was very attentive to ensure I didn’t order anything with gluten. Bravo!! I stole a tiny bite of the mushroom dumplings from my husband & they have amazing flavor. My Mighty Mushroom roll was outstanding & the chik’n skewers were scrumptious. We also tried the spicy jackfruit crab roll which is a must! Last but not least, it’s mind boggling how good the Ube Cashew Cheesecake tastes. Again, I stole a small bite of the filling!! This place is definitely on my list ANYTIME I visit the city! PLEASE come to MD/DC….we are really in need of some more elevated vegan food. The market here is waiting for you!!

Alexa El-Hawary

Emma Amselem Bensadon

Pawi walked us through the menu really well and was very understanding to our different dietary needs! I have a gluten allergy and was able to eat many things off the menu. Delicious food!

Edgard Santos

NOT CELIAC SAFE!!!!!

Jillian Cristina

I love this place! I've ordered from here countless times and the food is always incredible and the people there are so nice. I am gluten free and there are SO many options here that I can eat.

Don’t even think about it. Unless you are seeking revenge on someone, in which case you should recommend they order delivery from this place. Found this place as “(Expletive) Gluten” on DoorDash. I figured out that the business behind that name was moonbowls, and chose to order directly from them so they’d hopefully get more money. The first two times I ordered from them were kinda rough: Food tasted OK, portions were quite small, and orders were 30 minutes late. I was foolish enough to order a third time. When the order was 15 minutes late I checked their app and saw that the food hadn’t been picked up. I texted their “concierge” service, which assured me that the food was just waiting to be picked up. 30 minutes later I texted again. Silence. Tried to call, but their phone number is just a complicated menu where all options lead you back to texting them. At the 2-hour mark I texted then again, only to learn that the order still hadn’t been picked up. They tried to shift blame, saying that they made the food on time but that their “delivery partner” (read: Uber Eats) was at fault. Whatever. I cut my losses and took the refund. Will never get that 2 hours back. You’ve been warned.

Went out for dinner on a Friday night, and after a very rude manager sort of tanked the vibes of the meal, Yun was nice enough to give us a $50 credit over the phone for our next meal. Overall, I enjoyed the crazy peanuts, the mains are fair, and both our servers were lovely. Gluten free options as well. Thank you Yun for your fabulous customer service and hopefully that manager was just having an off day :)

Paula Palladino

Hubby and I love this place. They have Gluten-free food and they are very carful. The food is amazing

Eduardo Molinos

One of the best food markets in NY. It is not the cheapest, but it is worth it. We took the tacos and the arepa (both gluten free) and they were really tasty

lionmane

Eat here all the time, fantastic. The Dapan Niu is killer and lots of great vegan gluten free etc options. Sometimes the teas are a little inconsistent but never bad.

Daniel Brindis

Great gluten free GF options- my wife loves dim sum but is gluten free so this was a great option-

Anna D

The main meal was great, and it was terrific that all the sauces are GF. Kiddo was very disappointed however that they use gluten marshmallows for dessert. I thought those went the way of the dinosaur!

Bethany Talarico

First time having a crepe and it certainly did not disappoint! I came here for the gluten free options and enjoyed a savory smoked salmon crepe. The combination of flavors was a beautiful contrast on my palate. I would only recommend ordering extra meat on any crepe as the standard amount provided is not enough.

Vivien Shao

food was delicious and staff was friendly! lots of gluten free options as well

Sarah F

Excellent food and service! I recommend the pad Thai and pla pa salad. Great for gluten free as well.

Mythreyi Ramesh

A small ramen store located on the LES that has some of the best ramen I have had in a long time. Their menu is very vegan/ vegetarian friendly and 99% of their menu is all gluten free. Definitely come and check this place out if you are on this side of town

I had my birthday brunch here this past weekend. Miro helped plan a prefixe menu for my group of 15 guests that accommodated for omnivore, gluten free, and vegetarian diets, as well as a shrimp allergy. I was in touch with him several times in the month leading up to my event as my guests confirmed or cancelled their reservations and as new dietary needs came up even up until the several days before our reservation. I was so grateful for Miro’s clear and timely communication throughout, as well as for all the accommodations he was able to make for us. The food was awesome on the day of the event — in particular we loved the five spice fried chicken and waffle dish, the spicy noodle stir fry, the imperial rolls, and the slow cooked lamb buns. We also got the papaya salad, and coconut french toast, which were also delicious. For my gluten free guests, they made gluten free vietnamese crepe. 💕 My group was extremely well fed, the backyard ambience was relaxed and leisurely, and service was great. Price was $50 per person, not including drinks — for the quality of the food and the fantastic service, this was absolutely worth it. I had a fabulous birthday here, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! Thank you again to Miro and the service staff day of for making my birthday brunch so wonderful 💖

Jessica Marrast

Good simple food. I have celiac disease and other allergies so my options are limited, but they will customize dishes for me. I love their chicken soup, fried chicken, pad Thai,

Caitlin Terry

Be wary if you have issues with gluten here. Their menu states that they take "extreme cautions to minimize the risk of cross contamination", but the waitress told me that they boil their noodles in the same water as their dumplings, meaning ANYTHING with noodles is cross contaminated (including the pho and spring rolls). Honestly, this is super disappointing and does not indicate much care for minimizing cross contamination. That being said - their cocktails were tasty. My husband got their pho and enjoyed it. I got the Vietnamese chicken curry, which was tasty but VERY spicy. Service was kinda slow; it took quite a while to get our drinks ordered and then to get our food order in. They brought out our entrees but forgot my husband's summer rolls. I also requested no cilantro on my dish but it came out with a huge sprig on top. Overall I found this to be a disappointing experience, considering the blatant cross-contamination and hit-and-miss service.

My experience at Momoya was great. I went here for my birthday, and I have to highlight the exceptional customer service from the moment I walked in. When the server came to the table, he immediately asked if there were any allergies. I mentioned that I have a gluten allergy, and later during the night, when I requested a roll to go, the server came over to inform me that the roll contained gluten. I appreciated this extra care because he was mindful of my needs, which really stood out to me. The sushi was good. I tried the Yellowtail Scallion Roll, the Momoya Box, and the Sushi and Sashimi Tasting for two. For drinks, I tried both the Pornstar and Lychee cocktails, and I definitely preferred the Pornstar, which has a passion fruit base. As for dessert, since I have celiac, most options had gluten, but they surprised me with sorbet at the end of the meal. Once again, the customer service was top-notch. While my experience at Momoya was enjoyable, my go-to place for sushi remains Sugarfish. Although the sushi at Momoya was great, I still prefer Sugarfish because the quality of the sushi is amazing, and I find it more affordable for what you get. Momoya, however offers a different vibe—it's livelier, brighter and has cocktails.
