Top 27 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Fountain Valley

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!

This review is for those of us that are gluten free. The sandwich n sauce is delicious. However, they are almost half the size of the regular sandwiches and you have to pay more. The sandwiches are pricey to begin with then the extra charge for a smaller sandwich that fits much less fixings, I don't think it's worth it. The others in my family will return occasionally because it is pricey for a sandwich. But I won't be going back to pay $18+ for what looks like a kids sub. P.S. the secret sauce IS yummy. Overall I'm bummed.

Excellent gluten free Moo Goo Gai Pan! Lunch special is a great deal with white rice, side salad/ginger dressing and egg roll. All GF and DELICIOUS!

Barrie Pitts

Excellent food with good flavor. I've been there twice already. Clearly has calorie count on all meals. Many sides not usually seen in other restaurants. Most meals gluten-free.

I'm gluten-free and appreciated the easy GF menu which was delish! My non-GF family members loved it too! Fast clean and yummy!!

Carolyn Smith

Outstanding. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but the food was outstanding! This will be a new spot for me, for sure. They are very knowledgable about gluten in and around their products. The staff is warm and friendly.

Came here around 3pm on a Friday while intending to go to Sensitive Sweets next door, realizing I should probably have lunch, so I was the only customer in their large, bright, and very clean dining area until a couple of people came in a bit later. I was thrilled to find out they can easily and were happy to accommodate my vegan and gluten-free needs. I decided on the Spicy Eggplant with Tofu, and my server assured me there would be no fish sauce or soy sauce in my dish. She even completely understood when I declined having rice with my entree and asked for steamed tofu instead of fried. The dish was delicious, loaded with basil and tons of garlic, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't too salty at all! This seems to be a place where you could eat very healthy (i.e. no fried food, no excessive sodium, vegetarian/vegan if you so please) and enjoy the food at the same time!

This place is fantastic! We never had Bosnian food, so I ordered the Mediterranean Shopska salad, cabbage salad, Cevapi sandwich, Bosnian burger, burek, and a vegetarian gluten-free pizza. They were all fantastic! The gluten-free pizza was amazing. Everyone really enjoyed it, even though it was only for one person in our group. The crust was crispy and the cheese was not greasy. One person said it was the best pizza they ever had! The Bosnian burger was the second favorite. It was tasty and flavorful, and not greasy. The staff were excellent in helping us pick dishes. I definitely recommend this gem!

My first time trying this shop & I'll definitely be back! Anh was so sweet, I wanted something that wasn't on the menu & she made it for me! Excellent customer service & the vanilla latte was delicious! Dairy & gluten free

Absolutely loved the quality of the food here. The service is also fantastic. Their digital menu has allergen information for those on restricted diets. There is something for everyone… gluten free diet, non-dairy, vegan, etc. I’m on a GF DF diet and had the chicken karaage, sashimi and DIY hand roll. Tip: if you’re on a GF diet, bring your own soy sauce 😊

I came out here with a group of friends while on a trip. This place seemed very intriguing. A waiter named Danny was our server, and took care of us extensively throughout our entire visit. Any questions we had, he answered with expertise, and even my friend who was seeking something gluten free. Got special treatment from Danny. He gave her the gluten free options, and was so thorough that he even told her that the dressing that she would have on her salad would have gluten, and offered alternatives. I myself ordered a chicken Alfredo which was amazing. The pasta and chicken were made very throughly. I also had the opportunity to try their pizza which is made with a wood fire. This pizza I would say is top notch thin crust pizza. Overall the food, service and everything was great. And would highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you Danny for also being such a great server to me and my friends

I rarely eat meat and decided to have my yearly steak dinner at Black Angus.. I hadn't been there in over 20 years, so we decided to try it out.. the prices were high so I was expecting more.. I got the ribeye.. the flavor was pretty good and it was cook very well (med rare), but the amount of fat on the steak was crazy.. I get the ribeye a lot so am aware that fat is normal.. 3 oz of the steak was chewy fat.. I am also gluten-free, and all of the sides for the steak that were gluten-free were an upcharge.. the service was spectacular, that I was very pleased with.. I will not be returning to this restaurant..

My wife and daughter love going here. It has a good gluten-free pizza. That's hard to come by. We didn't know it was a chain. It feels like a mom and pop pizza parlor. But definitely recommend it.

Corine Davies

Gluten free pizza. And the staff are friendly. Pizza's the bomb. Very clean.

The Habit has become the only "Fast Food" burger worth eating for me. I have to eat Gluten Free, most places dont understand the no bun request, and use huge soaking wet chunks of lettuce to do a protien wrap. No fun to eat. The habit puts the burger on a bed of shredded lettuce, all the trimmings, sauces, in a bowl like container, and never forgets to give you a knife and fork.. the presentation is very good, flavor excellent. I have had people walk by, stop and ask me what i have and where is it on the menu? And then go order it!

Exceptionally special fine dining experience with top quality service! We’re so happy we chose this restaurant for my husband’s birthday. They had two course menus to choose from: vegan and vegetarian. Most dishes were also gluten free. We had the full experience by choosing both menus and were so glad we did! Each dish was intricately made. For this season, the vegan Dunes and Rainforest, and the vegetarian Pearl Fresh and Forest were our favorites. The service was excellent as well. I recommend Lucky Arrival for dessert. 100% recommend!

Lamppost pizza is amazing! Their pizza are the best and their hot wings are the best around! Don’t forget to get the new frozen yogurt/ice cream they have because that is delirious! I recommend 100 percent people go there. They have gluten free pizzas and more!...

Yes! All 5 stars!!!! As someone who lives with Celiac, this is a gem! I was greeted by a lovely human with a fantastic smile who took the time to help me with "swap outs" 😎💯 Best tasting Dolma I've had in LONG time!!! Served with yogurt and sundried tomatoes swimming in good oils that I mixed 😋 and dipped those delicious dolmas in!!! And as suggested.....wrapped them in the arugula as well.....omg YUMMMMM Now the plate!! That chicken is absolutely full of amazing flavor❤️ the grilled veges are on point! I didn't need the French fries(I know it's so American 😆) but no gluten leaves not so many options. I'd ask for more veges next time.😎💯 I also mixed the hummus with the yogurt sauce(forgot the name😁) and dipped the chicken AND fries in that......😋😋😋 Finished it off with some of the most incredible rice pudding I've tasted in forever!!!! I LOVE cinnamon 😋 and it was properly abundant in it❤️ This is an absolute must pop in sweet café !!! I'll be back to taste a few other gluten free options they have.....for sure!!!
