I especially appreciate that they offer gluten free options of many classic Chinese dishes. This is my go-to restaurant for Chinese.

Ariane Volk

Delicious Thai street food & all the classics. Also high end cocktails. Highly recommend! Excellent gluten free options, as well as vegetarian options, and clearly marked.

I am a regular Korean BBQ eater. Maybe it's not entirely fair to compare Japanese BBQ to Korean, I know different countries entirely, however, being in Northern Virginia it is hard not to compare a similar concept to KBBQ. The atmosphere is great, the meat was delicious, the sides lacked any flavor because they were just regular veggies (corn, not cheese corn, zucchini and cremini mushrooms), it came with a salad and miso that were flavorful. We ordered the value meal for 2 people with one cocktail $14 and a diet coke the total was $106, after tipping 22% I spent $130.. The meat was perfectly marinated and the quality was high, however the portions were insanely SMALL. I left hungry and wishing I went to Kbbq instead but it was an experience. I also noticed all the marinades and sauces were sweet- the sauces on the table were Ponzu, Sweet Soy Sauce and a Spicy Sauce that was also sweet, I found myself wishing for a more savory sauce to balance out all the sweetness. Our server was super friendly and attentive. For example I had taken the lemon from my gfs cocktail and put it in my diet coke, our server noticed and without me saying anything brought me a refill diet coke with a lemon (this didn't go unnoticed!). I personally don't see myself coming back but glad I gave it a try. Oh and I will add that everything we ordered was gluten and dairy free naturally so that was a huge plus.

This place was amazing for our food allergies, and the food was yummy! We had a whole group of people with gluten allergies and one person with both gluten and dairy allergies. The server, Pemba, was awesome! He brought out a photo of the ingredients of their boba so we could check to make sure it's dairy free (it is!), and he was super careful about all of our allergies. Good food, great service! Definitely will return.

Shannon Henley

Allie was our waitress and she was amazing!!!! Made the experience enjoyable and the gluten free options were great!

Bianca Loredo

With dietary restrictions, it's hard for me to find good gluten free food. This place is amazing. Everything I tried has been delicious (Taiwanese style rice noodles and fried rice). My husband has enjoyed the Sesame chicken and orange chicken also! The staff is kind and always ensures we have everything we need.

Joey Puletti

Organic ingredients bring it to the next level. Great vegan/vegetarian/gluten free options. Friendly staff.

Adam Gregory

Probably one of the three best meals I've ever eaten. Everything was beyond fantastic. The lavender rose lemonade was so refreshing and delicious. Rarely do I see so many gluten free options but I could eat a majority of the menu. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I tried some of my son's butter chicken and it actually made me laugh with joy. The atmosphere was also very inviting and cozy. It was much bigger than I thought it was going to be judging from the outside.

Kristoff Campbell

Good food good service and they have gluten free options!!!

Mary Harding

Delicious food with gluten free options. The waitress was very attentive and always had a smile.

Renuka C

Terrific food and great service! A go-to for lunch get togethers. LOVE the lunch specials and food is spiced just right. Lots of gluten free options that are clearly marked. DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. Nice ambiance too. Best Thai food around.

Ashley Desmond

This place used to have gluten free Raman options but they have changed the menu and the only options are edamame and steamed rice. Do not eat here if you have gluten sensitivity or allergy! Sadly, our Valentine’s Day lunch was ruined for me!

Anne DeSimone

Tasty food in a lovely space. The service was very fast and attentive. There are many gluten free options(be sure to let your server know you want the GFO) All our food was delicious and the serving size was generous. It’s pricier than your everyday take out, but this restaurant has wonderful quality. Can’t wait to return to Peter Chang’s!

Erica Webb

10 out of 10 as usual! From mass and we eat here whenever we are in the area and we are never disappointed! The gluten free options are great and they work with you to ensure your food safety. The manager Ricci was so incredibly amazing! So personable and made us feel right at home as soon as we sat down. Chija was also very personable and helped us in finding the perfect gluten free dish for my mom who has celiacs. If you haven’t dined here then you don’t know what you’re missing! We can’t wait to come back!

Camp H.

Best gluten free place in town!

Christina van der Linden

The staff at Cafe Asia 2 is professional and our orders are consistently fulfilled correctly and deliciously. I have Celiac Disease and require allergy protocols to eliminate exposure to gluten. The staff is always careful and attentive. On a side note I recently forgot my purse at the restaurant and the staff promptly kept it safe. When I returned to retrieve my purse the next day, all contents were there. Their sense of integrity is to be commended. I whole heartedly recommend Cafe Asia 2!

Christa Allen

GLUTEN FREE RAMEN! They have both gluten free ramen and pho options which are clearly marked on their menu. As someone who is having to go gluten free but also has an addiction to ramen, I am very happy to have found this place!

Kendall Aresu

This Thai food is so delicious!! They had a ton of gluten free accommodations and the service was wonderful. Some of the best Thai food I’ve had in the DMV with sensible pricing. Definitely would recommend for a lunch bite or dinner.

JohnaO

Super tasty pho nam and pho ga! Nicely al denote noodles, nice quality meat, flavorful broth. The menu says gluten-free but the waitress wasn’t able to confirm whether the unmarked hoisin sauce was gluten-free (the red pepper sauce as marked gluten-free). Restaurant was on par with other pho shops re cleanliness and decor.

Tracy Geier

Had a fabulous meal here, a quick stop on the way to the airport. The ramen was great and the Jinya bun was a perfect appetizer. My server, Rawles, was so pleasant and helpful and walked me through the menu since it was my first time here. All the staff were extremely polite and gracious and I would definitely recommend this place for a larger group. Gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options are so nice to see on a menu, even if I didn't take advantage of them this first time.

Andrew Headley

The food was decent, but overpriced. The service was pretty attentive. It seemed like they were trying, but there were several little issues that added up. We had a large group, they asked right when my wife and I got there if we wanted an appetizer and kindly gave us time to look over the menu, but hurried away when they came back the next time so we couldn't order. We realized after we left that we never got our salad wraps that we paid for. 😂 The food was decent, but for the price, I was expecting something special. I know its not authentic by any means, but it was just kinda greasy. They mixed up our checks. The first check said gratuity included, but the final check after credit card said gratuity not included, which is deceptive (not the servers fault). We had someone with celiac in the party, and they ordered all gluten free, but still had a bit of a reaction.

Three years ago I stopped by here on a whim. I had gotten tired of eating at the same restaurants, and wanted to try something different. Thank God I did! I’m gluten free and dairy free (and very picky), and can dine here with no issues. The food has always been great. Most importantly, I made friends with the owner, Tom, during my frequent visits. Tom works very hard and puts his all into this place. I’ve observed him dealing with his regulars, with the new folks, and with the not-so-nice folks. He handles everything with such grace! I’ve since brought other members of my family, and he always asks about them. The other servers who have been there awhile know my face and always ask where I have been if it’s been some time since I last visited. Although I work in a different city now, I still do my best to come back here because this place is so special. If you haven’t tried Pho1Grill yet, please do! :D

My family and I love to come to jasmines all the time for dinner. The food is always consistent and they’re always able to cater to my family members gluten allergies. We always start off with appetizers, my personal favorite is the crab rangoons. They never disappoint. The staff is always very pleasant with an inviting atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!!

Sara Kelly

In reponse to the owner's comments to my review. I do not one bit regret leaving a one star review. For those that read reviews, here's the breakdown if you plan to visit this restaurant. You must email the owner if you have a problem with his establishment. We all have this information readily available. 👍 If you have allergies, you need to sit in the lounge. You cannot enjoy the show like everyone else. Expect to have your food arrive well after other parties have eaten and left and don't complain when your server gives you 5 minutes to eat and then hurries you out of the facility. Also, you MUST ask to have the member that is having a birthday at the restaurant be sung to....you cannot simply say that they are having a birthday. If you are in a large party where gratuity is automatically added, you are golden. If you are in a party of 5 or less, expect to get stomped on. For the Gluten free/ Celiac community, I highly recommend that you seek elsewhere. Cafe Mekong in Blacksburg is an excellent restaurant in which the owners are kind and greatly appreciate your business. They will make things right if there is an issue. My family and I have visited here on numerous occasions to celebrate birthdays and other events. Tonight we had a less than stellar experience. I don't like leaving negative reviews for small businesses but feel that this is justified. Firstly, when we first arrived, we had to wait 15 minutes after our reservation time only because the large party that we were seated with was late. Could we not have been seated with another party and not have been forced to wait? Secondly, my family is gluten free so we had to have our meals prepared in the back. I appreciate that they are cautious and prepare the food separately to avoid cross-contamination. However, when the chef arrived at our table, he asked us why we did not order. "Did we order sushi or something?" was his question to us. It should have been communicated to him of the situation. It is hard enough being a family with allergies than to have it rubbed in our face that we are different from others. Thirdly, we received our meals when the other party was almost finished with theirs. It was not fun watching the other party eat their food while we patiently waited for our meals to arrive. It made it even worse when the server came out just a few minutes after our food arrived to ask us if we needed boxes to hurry us out of there!!! We literally were given just a few minutes to eat our food!!! For over $20 a plate and waiting over an hour for our food, shouldn't we be allowed to enjoy our meal without being hurried along? Lastly, we were there for our young daughter's birthday. We relayed this information to our server beforehand. Well, the large party that we were seated with was also celebrating a birthday. Guess what? The birthday person with the other party was sung to while my daughter was completely ignored. I asked the server if they could come back to sing happy birthday to my daughter and she told me that I would have had to tell them ahead of time. What? Why? My daughter chose to visit Kabuki for this very reason. Her heart was crushed. I should have pushed the matter more but by this point, I just wanted to wipe my hands of this facility In finale, this was our family's last visit to Kabuki. We were very poorly treated at this visit and would prefer to spend our money where we are treated better. I believe the owner cares about his customers and the community but we did not experience this tonight. I would not recommend eating here if you are gluten free or suffer from other dietary restrictions unless you are ok with watching others eat their food while you wait for yours to arrive. It isn't enjoyable in the least.

Julia Mayo

One of my favorite restaurants ever. Incredible Thai food and staff. Very knowledgeable about gluten free/allergy friendly options and will make most dishes gluten free for you! Great portions for cheap also!

Laura Torres

Monica Avila

Gina did an amazing job. She made our gluten free diet very easy. She was very professional and was on top of everything. We appreciated her service.

Jay S

Great food and wonderful place. Especially love that they are so good about gluten free since my family members have Celiac disease. Only negative is the drink menus being posted on the wall only. They’re hard to read and honestly, knock down the ambiance a bit.

Catherine Carrier

Phenomenal folks who run this restaurant. They special order a gluten free dish for me whenever I come in, recognizing me each time. The food is fresh and the sauces delicious. Excellent service and wonderful flavors!

Samantha Federico

Service was so friendly! There is a variety of options for vegans, gluten free, vegetarian, and people who can eat about anything. Everything was delicious from the Thai iced tea to the Crying Tiger and pad Thai. Monsoon Siam is located on the downtown mall in Charlottesville. Great spot to go for a work lunch, night with friends, or a date!

Sean

Great place with great food. I've got celiac disease and feel safe eating here.

Jason Kaplan

It is insane how good this food is. I’ve had a lot of Chinese food over the years, and this is easily the best I’ve ever had. Will absolutely be coming here to try more on their menu. Highly recommend, very friendly staff too. Insanely delicious gluten free options too which are fried

Amanda Atwell

Absolutely fantastic! The food here is nothing short of exceptional—always fresh, with top-quality ingredients that truly elevate every dish. The menu offers a wonderful variety, ensuring there’s something for everyone, whether you love bold, spicy flavors or prefer something milder. What sets this place apart is their creative special menu items that constantly surprise and delight. Plus, they cater to all dietary needs, with plenty of options for those looking for vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free dishes. Everything is not only thoughtful but absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a flavorful and inclusive dining experience!

The KalelFan

It has some of the kindest staff members I have met. This is why the 3 exists. If you have severe food allergies, it is not a place for you unless you are there to enjoy bevs. I am not sure why it has been RVAs best as the food is as common as elsewhere BUT as I mentioned before, the folks make you feel like you are wanted and in a time where this is not common, it is appreciated. The salmon is not wild and cut super thick for sashimi. None of this means anything unless it is important to you, so please understand my position. People were smiling, enjoying the food, and atmosphere. For me or people allergic to sesame, gluten, and mushroom, I would recommend Carytown Sushi instead.

Hampton Roads Network

Wonderful gluten free meal and service here. My son and I enjoyed our food and environment too.

Charlotte Williams

Very pleasant and quick service. Tasty sushi, nicely done. (I wish for gluten free batter so I can enjoy tempura!) Also, I'm not sure but I think there was something tempura cooked in the spicy tuna roll. Very good tasting but had the wonderful crispiness of tempura. The scallops with wasabi was sublime! Despite my complaints I would eat here again and ask for certain about the spicy tuna.

jude

The food was good but my daughter is very sensitive to gluten and we emphasized to keep it gluten free because of her allergies. We ordered panang curry and pad see ew which say they are gluten free, however, after eating my daughter's stomach started hurting. I think there may have been some sort of cross-contamination. I hope that this problem can be avoided in the future because when someone says something is gluten free that means there shouldn't be any gluten.

Lori Curley

Umm... YUM to their Korean BBQ! I'm not a sushi person but my husband is and he gives this a thumbs up for the tuna. Our nieces love the salmon. We have only eaten in and it's cute. Popular too as even on a Tuesday night it was busy. Service is fast and efficient. Someone in our party has a gluten sensitivity and they were very good about providing ingredient info beyond what we even asked for. We'll continue to patron Sweet Ginger for both the food and the service.

King Kong 3-11

Exceeded expectations. Cozy, comfy booths and tables with Japanese decor and lanterns hanging. Loved the 3-course options for $18: Bowl of soup, salad with a yummy house made dressing, and a generous hibachi chicken entree with rice and grilled veggie sides. Appreciated the generous portions for our hungry crew and made us feel that we got our money’s worth! This would be the reason we would return. Service was Exceptional and made us feel like we found our hometown go-to restaurant. With choices ranging everywhere from sushi to a hot bowl of Ramen to hibachi and teriyaki entrées, there is something for everyone. Our party was a mix with dietary restrictions and this restaurant was great for gluten-free eaters. They seemed very accustomed to adapting their menu and our gluten-free friends were pleasantly surprised that they could get most anything they wanted on the menu in a gluten-free version. Will definitely return !

Katrina Heim

Offers gluten free and dairy free but uses soybean oil in every single dish.

Wonder Woman

Food allergy friendly!!!!! Gluten-free, tree nut-free, peanut free, seed free and sesame free. I finally found a place that can accommodate all of my food allergies and still taste amazing!! The people are so kind. I love this place!

Jule Alston

This place was really good, however if you sit at the end you seem to get less of the rice and veggies as everyone else. Just whata left over. That's a bummer. The soup isn't gluten free (just a by the way for an one that is) that will give you 2 salads to compensate.

Joyce Drakeford

I was extremely excited to find they can make nearly the entire menu gluten free! I am so excited to have a place sown the street. Food was great. Everyone was very friendly. Service was FAST!! Extensive menu and everything is very reasonably priced. I can't wait to eat here again!

Lindsey Sowers

This is the BEST local Chinese food in the area. I have Celiac Disease so it is incredibly difficult for me to find places near by that offer Gluten Free options. This place goes above and beyond every time. As someone with celiac, cross contamination can make me severely sick and I haven't had to ever worry about this place getting it right. They are extremely detailed and attentive and the service is out of this world. They are so kind, polite, and extremely generous. We love this place so much and the people who work there. I'm not sure if they do this on purpose but every soy sauce packet we receive in our order has a little panda doing a different activity on each one, we never receive any duplicates. It's the cutest & funniest part we look forward to every-time we place an order. Inside the restaurant, it's very clean and inviting. Lots of seating arrangements. Eventually, we would like to come in and eat here but with it being so cold outside, we love just having the ability to place an online order from home and have it delivered. They seriously are the very best!

Kevin Wyrauch

Great food, great service (very attentive to vegan diners/gluten allergies!) and the menu has something for everyone. I've gotten sushi, dumpling, and kung pao dishes here and have yet to be disappointed.
