GLUTEN FREE GOODNESS!!! Just let your server know you are GF/Celiac and they will make sure you get everything GF! Most al the sauces are already GF yet they ensure especially if you order the larger family courses that you are also able to enjoy them!

Madeline Berger

Enjoyed Gluten Free rigatoni bolognese at this charming little spot on East 53rd Street. The sauce was excellent, tasty, substantive and not runny. The staff was very nice and attentive. And, they offered other GF menu items, so I plan to return.

Excellent experience for an early dinner here before a show. They have a great selection of east coast oysters with some decent west coast options as well - we stuck with the recommendations from our server and he did not steer us wrong. Everything was on point. Lots of gluten free options here as well and they were able to accomodate dairy free too. The nigiri was fantastic as were the tuna tostadas. Seafood is very fresh. Service was great - their happy hour specials are really good value and will definitely be back.

Healthy. Yummy. But very high end for what it is. Also small-ish volume. ~$18-22 / bowl. Salmon was quite good. And then you get a base and only 2 veggies… everything else is extra. Salmon is delish. It’s not that great of a portion for +$6. Plenty of sauces- I really like the cranberry Harrissa and the beet hummus. Charred broccoli is nice. Rice is good. Seed toppings are delish. Gluten-free. Healthy healthy. Overpriced. Very restrictive (you basically get 4 ingredients per bowl). Technical note: The way it’s organized, they have the cold veg and the warm veg, and you choose 2 across them, and it’s not clear when ordering. Someone should streamline the customer experience.

Win win win... So many options for somebody with gluten-free allergies. The salad was fresh. The service was fast for it to be such a busy place. I have no complaints

Barb M

Super yum, fast service, friendly workers, good price point ($15-20), and they have great WiFi when I eat in. I always get the lentil falafel chaat bowl with half rice half salad. The roasted sweet potatoes with the coconut sauce was divine. Complex flavors, gluten free and vegan. Tastes fresh and healthy, not greasy or heavy!

Favorite restaurant in the world Authentic French food No reservations They only serve salad, steak, and fries which are all GF. Don’t eat the bread / some desserts. Just reopened in NY and the lines are long but worth it

Gabriella Narvaez

This was a delicious sushi offering and wonderful experience. Their menu clearly listed gluten free options sad they even offered gluten free tempura shrimp (which was fantastic). Our waiter was exceptionally nice and attentive. We will be back!

Favorite paella place- menu marked GF

Kelly Stoyak

There was a great variety of food from the many different eateries to choose from. The places we ate from had fresh elements to their dishes which was very pleasing. La Palapa served fresh guacamole and salsa with their food - which also had fresh elements of vegetables incorporated into them. We also ate from some Thai/Indian eateries within the vicinity that had delicious dairy/gluten free food with fresh elements to their dishes. It was quite crowded and a challenge to find seating - but expectedly so during the busy holiday season.

Great choice for coffee or brunch. The coffee is very good, plenty of gluten free choices as well.

Where's WeeWoo

Not the place to go if you have a gluten allergy or need to be gluten free, there are so few gluten options it was almost laughable. I think it’s one of those situations where they were being overly cautious, but wow. I was the only GF at the table and we ordered the crustini’s, they all came out on Cucumber. When we asked for the original, they came out on cucumber again. The place felt a little chaotic when we first came in and even after being seated. I can’t speak to what the rest of the group got, but as a person with a gluten allergy, I would not be back.

Excellent breakfast! Great vibe, nice chairs service and air. Loved the bread with avocado chiliflakes, and honey. Great glutenfree bread option too!

Amber Easterling

I always have a great experience here!! The staff is very helpful and can answer any gluten questions! They cook all meals with GF soy sauce and will also provide it at the table. I got the 8 greens fried rice with chicken.

Mallory Collins

Drinks here are a 10/10! Food I can’t say the same. This sandwich was $19 (gluten free bread added), and for that price I was expecting a huge and delicious breakfast sandwich. Sadly it’s very mid, skimpy with the portions, and just overall not good for the price! I didn’t even finish it because it just tasted so blah. For the price of food I would skip. But again, their drinks are amazing and worth the money.

Daniel was beyond warm and welcoming, that we decided to visit again and try other items.we dined in, and he helped us choose the best items on the menu. The french cream pastry was indeed delicious. My mom tried their gluten free bread and she liked it. Honestly one of the best customer service I’ve received ! He’s a great conversationalist , both my mom and I loved our visit!

Gluten-Free options, excellent fish

Hutong is truly fantastic in every respect. Lovely space with tables and booths depending on party size and preference. One never feels crowded. The food is first rate with generous portions—be it dim sum, soups or other dishes. The lunch specials are a real deal with great pricing and wonderful choices. The service is excellent and one never feels rushed—the team listens to the diner and adjusts timing for bringing out the dishes. And, one invariably takes home leftovers to enjoy again! We have dined there at lunch and dinner (great martinis!) as a couple, with extended family and friends and have never been disappointed. Spice level adjusted as requested. Lots of choice for the lactose or gluten intolerant and other dietary restrictions. We will keep dining there whenever we can!

My colleague and I stopped last night for dinner and drinks, it was my first experience and she had been there multiple times. We had a great experience, and what made it great was our waiter Cesar - he was attentive, made sure to give advice and checked on us as appropriate . The food was OK, I am a bit picker because I have celiac and there are never many choices, especially at chain type restaurants. Overall our experience was a good one!

Vanessa Hemmerle

Good Drinks and helpful people! The service personal helped us navigate the manu for gluten free options and made us a speciel drink! Really cosy athmosphere and cool pop music

Jasmin Konlechner

Glutenfree!

The staff is so friendly and the cafe itself is very friendly when it comes to dietary restrictions, dairy free options, gluten free options, and knowledgeable staff on their menu able to answer all concerns for ingredients. Love coming here before work and during my lunch break!

Renuka C

Gluten free deliciousness! Yummmmm! Found this bakery on Yelp. It’s steps away from the hotel. Lots of pastries, coffee, wonderful tea, nice ambiance, clean cafe, and friendly service. They only had 1 gluten free option but it’s CHOCOLATE (GF chocolate cake with ganache center) - who needs anything else?!

R. Park

Walked in around 11:00pm. Only half the salad bar was full, but still offered a great selection. They have everything on snacks and beverages, especially for health-conscious peeps like me that need vegan or gluten free options !! Plus staff is very friendly :) the place is cleaner than most take-our buffets you will run into in Manhattan

Fire Humor Company

Came at a busy time but they were well organized. This was our first time with this franchise and they did not disappoint. Lots of Gluten free and vegan options. We did the make your own warm bowls. Lots of options for toppings.

John Cardinale

Very good coffee and food is good too Not many gluten free options but their healthy toast is pretty good Would recommend if in the area looking for something quick

Madison Pivonka

The people here are so nice. Uriel is a good friend of mine and he made it a very special experience! The little crescent rolls they give you at the beginning were so yummy. Especially with a cappuccino The entrees were fabulous. I had the polenta based eggs Benedict. They were very unique! Served on a corn polenta (Gluten free) with the poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Pm top. Served with home fries, and it was actually a good serving size for one! The desserts were also 10/10 they have a gluten free coconut cake and a peach melba whipped cream cup that was amazing. Highly recommend!

They have gluten free bagels and bread, which is a godsend for people like me who can't eat gluten. They also have gluten free pancakes. If you have food sensitivities, it's worth the trip to check it out.

Liebman Entertainment

Had great gluten free options
