The gluten free dairy free version of strawberry works is yummy. It's always deal-sealing when the staff are legitimately well versed regarding allergies/intolerances and understanding to boot! Would be interested in trying more of the favs on the menu next time

Found out they have a gluten free cone!!! So excited!

Tara Popli

We were served by Amanda and she was amazing to take care of our Gluten allergies. Loved interacting with her and her appreciation of the allergies! Great server!

blown away by the service and food here I want to give a massive shoutout to Issac who truly went above and beyond during my visit. I have celiac disease and often find dining out stressful, especially when staff don’t understand or make it awkward. But not here—Issac handled everything with total grace and professionalism. When I casually mentioned I had celiac while asking about ingredients, he immediately understood what I meant—no loud questions, no awkward explanations, and definitely no judgment. Instead of brushing it off or making me feel uncomfortable, he double-checked every ingredient and made sure to avoid cross-contamination. He even changed his gloves, got fresh containers from the back, and scooped everything safely—just for my bowl. That level of care is incredibly rare, and honestly, it meant the world to me. The whole team.There is very nice and accommodating And let’s talk about the food— Their poke is consistently fresh, flavorful, and fun. They always have exciting new options, like unique fish selections and tons of house-made sauces, many of which are gluten-free and clearly labeled. The miso soup is delicious, the nigiri is top-notch, and they’ve recently added more sushi and Spam musubi to the menu. This place checks all the boxes: incredible service, outstanding food, safe for gluten-free folks like me, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll absolutely be coming back again and again. If you’re anywhere near this spot, do yourself a favor and go—you’ll be glad you did

Celiac here-delicious GF bread. Sandwich delivered in separate bag from the rest of the order! Can’t say enough good things.

Every single time we eat at Chicken and Rice, it’s fantastic. Plus they have a HUGE gluten free menu. And they are honorable about it. Eat here! You won’t be disappointed. I never have been.

They have gluten free crust in 3 sizes!!!! They messed up my order in my favor. I paid for medium but got large 🙂

My sister and I regularly frequent this Mendocino Farms as it's on my way home from work and they have some really great gluten free options. We always get quick service and have been pretty fortunate to never have a mistake on a pick up order which doesn't happen often these days. Yesterday, when I got home with our food I noticed my gluten free sandwich was definitely the wrong order. Frustrated I called the restaurant ready to take out my "hanger." The manager John happened to answer the call with lots of care and compassion noting the frustration that comes with not only a wrong order, but with not having the option to eat at all since it wasn't gluten free. I feel like a lot of the times I have issues with take out orders in other restaurants as I've been brushed off, but John was willing to make the situation right. When I went to pick-up my new sandwich there had been a manager swap, but even then the manager on duty (I failed to catch his name in the rush) was quick to provide me with my new sandwich and have me on my merry way! Can't recommend them enough.

Had a lunch with a friend on the tables outside. The weather was perfect. Great atmosphere. Sensation of freedom and privacy. Good service. It has a few options of gluten free meal but they are enough for those as myself looking for gluten free meal.

Fantastic experience! I informed the server that I was extremely allergic to soy and gluten and the general manager Elisio Solis personally checked every ingredient used in the various mixes and sauces etc. in my pizza and came out to confirm that I could eat them. That was very nice and not something I had requested. :)

Best Gluten Free Rice Crust pizza around!

Michael

Lied to my face about their fryer being gluten free, and now I'm sick

Melissa Hill

Okay casual dining. Food was a bit overpriced but was healthy and fresh. Good for gluten free diners.

Amit Tamhankar

Creamy garlic chicken pizza is good. Many vegetarian options along with gluten free base

Aaron Montoya

Salhein Hassan

Gluten friendly pizza, the dough is not fresh. If I can give less than zero Star I will do it. Never stop here again.

Ryan McNeely

Food is excellent! I'm vegan and gluten free. Loved the Rice Flour Roti w my tumeric potato dish!

claire steward

Fantastic Italian! Very slick service (John was great). Took care of our gluten-free guest too. Reasonable prices. Would recommend.

Tasha Makovskaya

This is the best, quick spot to get a tasty and fresh plate of chicken shawarma, falafel or a stuffed pita! Amazing sides of waffle fries and always a smile there to greet you... and if you're not full by the end of the meal, definitely try the baklava (now also have a gluten free version). I couldn't recommend this wonderful restaurant more for quick grab and go experience (very fast service) and they even have a mobile app to order in advance!

Vachik Armenian

A great hostess!!! Very welcoming. Family owned (I believe) Try their wide variety of gluten free dishes Thank you for three awesome service

Yariv Medved

Excellent meat restaurant. Celiacs have many gluten free options including beer.

Alyssa Siddiqui

Taichi pot shabu shabu has AYCE Japanese style hot pot. Been going here for years, and it’s nice that they have halal beef options. You have to work with the waiter as they have halal Creekstone beef and Australian lamb. The hot pot is delicious and it’s nice that there is an AYCE restaurant that offers halal in the South Bay. In regards to other dietary restrictions, they also accommodate gluten allergies and vegetarian. We had to request for a vegetarian and gluten free broth for our order.

Manish Manchanda

If you want quality burger this is the place, however no chicken option for chicken lovers. Try Grilled cheese option if you are vegetarian. Protein Sal for Gluten free options. ( Meat in between Lettuce leaves ) Love the quality and service. Enjoy!.

Erica Fleniken

Delicious food, warm atmosphere, and incredibly friendly service. This has quickly become our favorite Chinese restaurant. While not marked on their menu, they do offer gluten free options upon request and were very accommodating.

Mayra

My rating has nothing to do with their food or service. Their coffee was so good and their Gluten Free pastry breakfast and pastry was delicious!! BUT that being said, the workers don’t know how to handle GF food properly. The worker was grabbing the GF pastry with the same kitchen tongs as he was using the regular bread. I could see the crumbs stuck on it and I mentioned this to the worker. I don’t blame him because he genuinely looked like he had no clue, but I do put that responsibility to management. I very much appreciate it that this place includes Gluten Free food items but it defeats the purpose if you cross contaminate. I understand that there are some things out of your environment given is not a strict GF place, but I would advice to educate your staff on what CAN be done when it comes to handling GF items for the safety of your celiac costumers. Thank you.

The best place to eat in this area. The food is fairly priced, and they do not skimp you on ANYTHING. Great portions of meat even if you order a small bowl, super friendly staff and extremely fast even when it’s busy. I always opt for extra rice instead of macaroni salad due to a gluten intolerance, and none of their sauces/seasonings on the food bother my stomach (note: I have an intolerance, NOT Celiac’s - I can’t speak for them being celiac safe and I also never get soy sauce due to inherent gluten content). Love this place so much.

Great spot to get some filipino food! I've been to the Campbell location, but since moving, I'm down the street from the Santa Clara location! Two of us weren't too hungry, so we shared a combo 1: -pork sour sinigang soup -crispy pork belly lechon -garlic rice -scoop of ice cream (gluten free) Soup was super sour and piping hot. Very good. The pork belly was crispy and melted in my mouth. Garlic rice was fine. Scoop of ice cream was really tasty, since I'm lactose intolerant, it was good to have an ice cream to finish off the meal that wasn't too sweet. You can't pick, so it is whatever they have that day. I believe mine was a rocky road. Karan was serving us and cooking as well, hopping back and forth. He was friendly and attentive. There is an added 4% cost of living allowance added to each bill. Large parking lot with pretty tight spaces. Excited to be a regular here!

I loved how they have a bunch of Onigilly gluten free options. The gluten free salmon one is delicious.

Meat actually cooked to perfection per order. Medium is medium. Tender, juicy, Smokey, perfect over the hickory coals. Mom says the best burger she's ever had at 75 years years young! We had burgers because they're 1/2 off on Friday until 4:00. Can't wait to try more menu items! Awesome battered onion rings, potato salad, best fries.... tastes like real potatoes! Flexible menu, add on items... or ala carte... gluten free or whole wheat oat buns, or comes with potato bun! All sturdy enough to hold your burger together. SIX choices of cheese! Loosen your belt! So many choices... Daily Specials.... burgers, ribs, brisket, tri tip, pulled pork, chicken, Turkey, even salads! Puts Famous Dave's to shame. 12 choices of sides and 5 more choices of "premium" sides! 4 choices of Family Style Platters. Highly recommended! It looks like a bar from the outside. Don't be fooled.

Great sushi! The atmosphere is great too. It's an authentic Japanese restaurant. They were also really good about letting me know what my the gluten free options were for me.

Chris Schmidt

This place is Fantastic for a Celiac. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and they made sure that I was able to eat something that was entirely free of Gluten, while still being Ramen 😋

Mariah carpenter

I was really impressed by the stand and I wasn’t expecting to be! First there gluten-free bread is really stellar great taste and they grill it very nicely. I tried the French dip burger, and the soup dip was fantastic with great salted flavor was very really an good grilled onions. My boyfriend also enjoyed His burger on sourdough and pickles.

Good service, food and gluten free fries for my food allergy child
