Top 16 Gluten-Free Late-Night Spots to Enjoy in University City, Philadelphia

Carolyn Lumsden

This place was disgusting. It smelled something terrible and the food didn't taste any better. I was so hopeful because I have Celiac's Disease. I heard the cook cursing up a storm because he had to make my food gluten free. The lights were basically off when we walked in and the chairs were up, very uninviting. I took 2 bites and didn't finish my food even though I wanted to because it was SO expensive.

I'm not sure they've ever gotten my order fully right. They pay no attention to "gluten free bun" and half the time give me a bun that will make me sick. They skip ingredients -- don't bother adding avocado or bacon or whatever, you get what you get. Wrong shake flavors, wrong fries dips, and they never send ketchup or utensils when you ask through the app. If you aren't picking up yourself to check and guarantee your order is right, don't bother. I'm giving up.

Finally! Not only excellent sushi rolls, as well as exceptional poke, but they serve their food in portions and aren’t short-sighted. Many sushi restaurants or restaurants that have sushi or poke on their menu, whether Japanese, Chinese, or any cuisine category, have a Pick 3 or 3 Roll sushi combo, where you get to select 3 rolls. When they do so, they make the rolls smaller, because the price apart as a bargain. However, the rolls served here, are the perfect size rolls, fresh, and delicious. I ordered delivery through Grubhub, the platform that doesn’t add exorbitant fees or play games by offering discounts and offering them with fees that are equal or more than the savings they offer you- Uber Eats. For the 3 Roll Sushi Combo I ordered a spicy tuna roll, and two rolls with both tuna and salmon- phenomenal. Rice on outside with masago and wonderful sushi inside. They only need to add more rolls to choose from for their 3 Roll Sushi Combo. Next, I ordered their Build Your Own Poke Bowl. The portion was by far the best I’ve had in the 5 mile radius of Center City Philadelphia. I chose a base of rice, tuna as the protein, and topped it with edamame, spring mix, shredded carrots, and masago, topped with gluten-free Ginger Miso dressing. The poke bowl is fabulous. My only recommendation would be more toppings to choose from for their bowls. If they used organic vegetables as the healthy alternative to those known to have pesticides, they’d easily distinguish themselves from others in the marketplace, along with increasing gluten-free options. The gluten-free labeled options for the poke bowls are excellent. You won’t get better food service for sushi nor poke bowls. I’ll be ordering from here regularly. It’s a 5-star winner.

I was very pleasantly surprised at the gluten-free options available, and very tasty! I purposefully wanted to try the gluten-free crystal shrimp dumplings to see how they would hold up during delivery. They came just way they are served in the restaurant.

Went here with a couple of friends who live nearby. Our orders were pretty good portioned and they were able to accomodate my friend's gluten allergy.

Food was Great. Our waitress was Emma, she was great. Honestly I came there for the Breakfast Burritos but to my surprise they only self those during Brunch. I thought this place was a Mexican food Restaurant. But it's medditeranian. So ordered the Gluten free chicken with a side of rice. It was very delicious. I can't complain at all. Also, mimosas are served all day which is a major plus.

Ordered 25 pizzas for a school event. Staff was responsive and helpful. Pies were delivered on time, and the driver was very kind. They have a gluten-free/vegan cheese pie which was convenient for accommodating all dietary restrictions for a large event. People enjoyed the pies so an overall good experience.

My go to spot for beer and advice on what new things to try. The staff can suggest from a wide variety of styles from around the world. Super friendly and welcoming. They have pretty much any style your can think of. They have gluten free, gluten reduced, N/A beers as well as a wine selection.

We sat out back in the second story patio. Dinner in the trees and under the sky. The food is soooo tasty. We are gluten free and are happily full of clean home cooked food.

Super disappointed to see the old POD menu gone and revamped to something completely new with not as many gluten free options. As someone with Celiac (and a sushi lover), there aren't a lot of places I feel comfortable trying sushi at. POD was somewhere that made me feel comfortable trying new sushi rolls that I knew would be allergy-safe. Sad to see the best sushi spot in the city gone!!!!

Heaven. We started with the charcuterie board and I must say the pumpkin seeds were fabulous and the gluten free bread was wonderful. For entrees we had the Filet mignon which was divine and the buttermilk squash gnocchi was fantastic.
