I recently visited Hula Poke Bowl in Metrotown and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant was clean and had a bright, welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home.The menu offered a great variety of options, catering to all dietary preferences with vegan and gluten-free choices. I ordered the classic poke bowl of the Koko with salmon, Kimch, and it was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The ingredients were vibrant and well-balanced, and the portion size was generous for the price.Service was top-notch; the staff was friendly and quick to help me customize my bowl exactly how I wanted it. I also appreciated the speedy service, as my meal was prepared in just a few minutes. For those visiting for the first time, I highly recommend trying the spicy Gochujang sauce—it added a perfect kick to the bowl. Overall, Hula Poke Bowl is a great spot for a healthy and delicious meal in Metrotown. I'll definitely be coming back!

Tucked in Burnaby is this East African Indian fusion place. Great pakoras, lamb biryani and beef ribs. Plenty of gluten free choices. Great service too. Not disappointed at all. No photos to show as we dug into the dishes as soon as they were served.

We come to the Keg often to celebrate birthdays but Sina definitely went the extra mile during this visit to make sure my mom’s food was celiac safe! It made all the difference to make sure she could enjoy her food during this birthday celebration. Hope we get him as a server again and the food was all delicious of course! Sina also offered to take pictures for families which was so nice as it’s easy to feel like a bother when asking for things like that.

Great restaurant with kind servers. I have a gluten allergy and we never have any problems here. I recommend the burger!

I got the pasta chicken Alfredo with gluten free noodles and it had a good flavor. There wasn't much sauce, not sure if they didn't mix it or what, but many of the noodles were plain and it was hard to mix. But what *was* mixed was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly, not too tough but still a little charred. I got my food to go, but when I was in the restaurant the vibe was kind of depressing, couldn't exactly say why. The staff were kind and helpful. Ordering online was easy and pick up was a breeze. It's a great gluten free option, especially if you're in a time crunch or on a specific schedule.

Been here many time. Explain I’m celiac, and I’ve never had an issue with any of the foods. They’re very knowledgeable about celiac disease and how to keep us safe. Also on the Canadian Celiac association recommendations page :)

I placed an order over the phone for two fettuccine's one being gluten free. I was pleased at how friendly the young girl was, her customer service was great and she was very quick to bring out our order and notice our vehicle outside. The portion sizes are great, the gluten free noodles are very good too. I've never taken out at this spot before but I will definitely be back the next time I'm looking for some good ol' fettuccine

Consistently yummy food. The menu has changed but we enjoyed everything we tried. Love the happy hour 1/2 priced oysters too! We appreciated that they split our salad. I avoid gluten and didn't have a problem finding options here. Great service and it makes for a fun date night! Dinner and casino for the win 🎉

Livia Velasquez

The place is very nice, easy to park. He is working now after the pandemic. Good service, I loved the gluten free pasta with seafood.

Prab Sidhu

The menu showed gluten free items. However, when we arrived, they were not able to accommodate whatsoever for people within our party that had celiac. The service was also very poor, with minimal attention being put on our table, and the staff had little-to-no knowledge of the dietary restrictions at our table. The space of the indoor and outdoor seating areas are also not the best, making it hard for anyone taller than 5'9 sit at the tables that are quite tight. Overall, one of the poorest restaurant experiences I've had in a while. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE WITH CELIAC.

Another awesome bowl of Seafood Congee with Extra Ginger. Just the thing for a chilly day like today and works with my Gluten Free needs!!!

This ramen shop is decent, I am glad they had the gluten free option noodles for additional 4 ontop the order. I found the broth is oily and heavy to my liking. That is why I am giving it an average, but overall taste was good.

Michael Persaud

Extremely fun and clean restaurant. Some gluten free GF options available. Food is fresh and flavorful. I went for dinner and breakfast and all options are really fun. I would get there early or make a reservation for dinner

Pablo Lopez

Great atmosphere, good food, and very friendly staff. The price point is great for this day and age. Also they will accommodate, and make a couple dishes gluten free if you ask. I.e. chicken slovakia, and grilled salmon

Lauren P

I'm celiac, and while they can't guarantee zero cross contamination, I felt very looked after. Staff has been trained, and steps are in place. I had nachos and some drinks. They were delightful. Our server was attentive and kind. I'd come back for the peace of mind alone, so tasty food is a big bonus!

Arjun Gill

Few actual gluten-free options. Would be nice if they had a separate oven. Lots of "gluten friendly", try harder.

Sash

This is my fav location. The staff is super professional and nice. They have gluten free burger buns and other appetizers. So def have lots of options for celiacs. Plus the staff always takes extra care with food allergies.

Linnea Clarkson

Great guy runs the place and the food is delicious + affordable. Gluten free options

Talisa Correa

Excellent service and delicious food!! I've ordered from Desi Turka many times but this time I added a specific "no gluten" comment since it's an option on Uber Eats (probably been there for ages but I only noticed today). I've called before and knew they were very aware of gluten so I wasn't too concerned, but they gave me a call to let me know and make sure I was comfortable with the smallest possibility of cross contamination (which is not likely and I was fine taking the risk). I missed the call so they wrote me a note! I do have celiac so knowing that restaurants are aware of their gluten content and cross contamination levels is very important and it's so lovely to see somewhere go to such lengths to keep me comfortable and safe! I also ordered quite late at night so to get such quality service at all hours really shows how much care they put in to their work ❤️ Excellent food, fabulous service, and reasonable prices! The paneer pakora is particularly delicious! Definitely recommend 😊

Micah took care of us tonight. Very patient with our one million questions, very knowledgeable about the menu and her gluten free suggestions were spot on. And yes the rose she suggested, delightful. Thank you Micah!

Connor Turner

We are big fans of the Pizza Pizza/Pizza 73 franchise because they provide reliable and tasty gluten-free options for celiacs. Everything we ordered was up to our expectations with similar locations and the quality was top-notch. Staff were polite and friendly and the new design and interior looks great. Would highly recommend for looking for a reliable franchise pizza location.

Renee Caines

Thankful for plentiful Gluten free options for my Celiac family. Delicious tacos hit the spot!

Great Thai fast food restaurant. The food is always consistent and quick. Located inside lougheed mall. Check this place out. They also have gluten free options.

Erin Unger

Great food, and celiac/ gluten free safe if you are careful to mention it when ordering.

Hilde Schepens

We just went for coffee and a cookie. They had a gluten free option as well which was good. Staff was friendly! We'll come back some time to try their food. Couldn't sit outside unfortunately as they were working on their food truck which was very noisy.

Sarra

Really really enjoyed this place ! I have a vegan/ gluten free dietary restriction so I asked my server if there were any options on the menu for me. She brought her manager so he could try and accommodate my request. I ended up getting the Mediterranean bowl with tofu and even the manager himself brought it to me. It was really so so good ! Thank you Maro ( I hope I’m spelling his name right )

Theo Costopoulos

Kamel has always taken awesome care with our sandwiches. Especially with our gluten free orders. Thank you so much for the excellent service Nick and family

Jake Snake

Truly great customer service and excellent food. The staff has always been sensitive to my gluten allergy.

Sash

When I entered the store, it was very busy and only one person was working in front. Nonetheless, she was VERYY polite and quick and accurate with our order. She was so careful with our gluten free sandwich too. Sandwiches she crafted and recommended were loved by everyone in my group. I hope the management recognizes Mehak’s excellent service as she truly made our day!

Richard Zampieri

It's a really good place, to have a dinner and stay for hours on the table slowly eating and having a good time with your friends. I do recommend the experience. Also, they have gluten free options in the buffet.

Jayme Scott

Very helpful staff and careful with gluten allergy precautions.

Sonya Fliss

Yum! Have only ordered the gluten free pizzas. But experience has been great. Can completely customize the pizza (and can do 1/2 sides), toppings are good quality, and the pizzas are made and cooked really well. Have been a few times so far. My go to pizza place when at Metrotown now. Price is very reasonable, it's tasty. I would have taken a pic, but... ate it already! (Soooo much better than Fresh slice!!!! Yes, same location but way better.)
