Great gluten free options 😁 the food was pretty good. I would come here again . The staff were very knowledgeable about if things were dairy-free as well which is another allergy I have a long with gluten.

I did love it. Everything was so charming. I loved our waitress. Beautiful atmosphere with heated lamps and pretty lights. Very good gluten-free pasta. Even crayons and paper with activities for the kids. I would have liked more gluten-free variety but what we did order was fine, and even filled me up without meat. (I would've liked meat hahaha). The waitress was very patient, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Favorite place in the South Bay: they source local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients and are offering very inclusive options for those who are plant based and gluten free. The taste of the curry that I had was amazing, flavorful, and creamy, the rice was cooked to perfection. Sitting outside next to the heaters is sweet, just wasn’t a fan of the loud music but all else is 5 stars! Oh and another highlight is that they just use a I ado and olive oil, no unhealthy seed oils.

Really great place if you have a gluten allergy-- there's a dedicated fryer which is amazing. The food is all American so it's definitely good but not the best burger in the bay.

🥂 Tamarine Restaurant & Gallery 📍 546 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301 Originally, I just wanted to eat Vietnamese food to cool down because the temperature was rising. But when I entered the restaurant, I found out that it was #Michelin recommended! The appetizer is a four-course platter Tamarine Taste (serves two) Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls, Tea Leaf Beef, Taro Root Rolls, and Papaya Salad. Serves two. Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls Fresh rice paper rolls filled with shrimp, sous vide pork, bean sprouts lettuce mix, and mint with a hoisin sauce. It contains mint and fish sauce. Taro Root Rolls Vegetarian. Crisp rolls filled with taro root, carrots, mushrooms and glass noodles, served with plum chili sauce. (Cannot be made gluten-free) Vietnamese fried spring rolls Tea Leaf Beef Gluten-free. Ground beef, onion, garlic and tamari wrapped in a wild tea leaf, grilled and served with chili fish sauce. Less commonly seen tea rolls Papaya Salad is paired with something similar to beef jerky, which is a bit salty and hard to understand😣 Tiger Prawns & Garlic Noodles $39 Grilled tiger prawns wok-tossed with egg noodles, Parmesan cheese, oyster sauce, Fresno chile-garlic, & Vietnamese cilantro. The popular garlic noodles, the prawns have been peeled for us to make it easier to eat. Clay Pot Cod $31 Gluten-free. Alaskan black cod caramelized in onion, garlic, black pepper and molasses. Ah Jun loves cod cooking, but it is rare to see this kind of cooking in the United States. Most of them are Japanese miso fish. Service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 When I made the reservation, I accidentally chose to celebrate my birthday, so I got a sorbet as a gift. The berry and coconut ones are very rich🥥 A high-quality restaurant that I would like to visit again. I haven’t found it before working in #paloalto for almost half a year🤨 #winnie_inbayarea #winnie_eat #infatuation #infatuationsf #bayarea #bayareafood #vietnamfood #vietnamesecuisine #bayareaeats #bayareafoodie #salad #shrimp #noodles #prawn #cod #michelin #birthday #sorbet #San Francisco Food #United States #food #foodie #Vietnamese Food #Bay Area

Really, really good food. Best chicken satay I've ever had. Everything on the menu looked good and I'll be back to try other stuff. Full bar including some cool house cocktails. I didn't try one, but my companions drinks were good. They also were very accommodating for gluten free and vegetarian options. I'll be back. Great outdoor patio and staff was super friendly and helpful.

We had an amazing dinner at this unique restaurant. No reservations were available, but we got seated right away at the bar, which ended up looking directly at the kitchen on a high top bar. It was really neat to watch their organized chaos. Super busy cranking out the orders. Lots of gluten free options, including tapas, and several things could be modified for GF. Interesting mixed drinks. So glad we tried it. Highly recommend.

Me and my friends are loving Chef Zhao a lot. We been there so many times cuz we live close by. Chef Zhao has traditional Shanghai style food and some other American Chinese food. Our favorite item are water eel, fish gluten, special tofu and the must order Pan Fried Bun!! They also offer hand made noodles which are so delicious too. I highly recommend go on lunch time since dinner they are very busy sometimes. Today I went there at lunch, they are using a new order system and gift card. I bought a gift card, and if you buy over $250 it will be 10% off from purchase. Unlimited times. Which is so good! Also I found there is a moon cake available for the coming Chinese mid-autumn day. Must Try Chef Zhao’s!

Pretty tasty, but I'm not sure I was prepared to part with nearly $40 with tax & tip for two eggs, GF toast, hashbrowns, bacon, and coffee for just me. 😅 That said, the gluten-free toast was better than most places.
