I hadn't been here in a while and figured we'd go for date night. My fiance has a pretty severe gluten allergy which we told the person taking our order and he was super knowledgeable about what he could have on the menu. This was awesome as a lot of times when we go out somewhere people don't know what it is or don't care or pay attention which leaves us to usually just stay in. We felt pretty confident about eating here though! The food came out super quick and it was so good! My only compliant is the caramelized onions I got on my burger were way too sweet I had to take them off it was like dessert was on my burger. Other than that our food was awesome and my fiance didn't get glutened! Definitely added them to our list of places to go!

We all loved our wings. Sweet potato fries were awesome. Loved that they have dedicated fryers for keeping things gluten free, though not totally safe for those with celiac as my daughter did have a reaction..

This place is blesphemously delicious. I want to eat there every day. I have a relatively strict diet (gluten free, dairy free, sugar free) and Pho Happiness checks all the boxes, and at a fair price with delicious, fresh food that even my children love to eat. My all time favorite restaurant right now.

Massimo took such great care of us last night! I’m gluten-free so I checked the menu online prior and saw they had gluten free pasta, but to my surprise they additionally had gluten free bread, meatballs, brussel sprouts, and almond cake! It was so delicious, we will be back!

Solid bowl option but nothing special to push it over the top to 5 stars. I left feeling still kinda hungry but the food itself was delicious. My friend got a make your own bowl which looked significantly larger than my menu selection. Many good gluten free and allergen friendly options.

I had a wonderful experience all around—great food, service, and atmosphere. We sat in on the patio and was very comfortable. The hosts and servers were all super friendly and knowledgeable. We liked how the menu was structured, such that we could choose either small plates or a dinner entree depending upon our hunger level. The plates were beautifully presented with very bright colors. We loved the pork belly arepa and the budino for dessert! Appreciated that there were lots of gluten free options!

I had a lovely birthday brunch on their patio(on a less than ideal birthday). Their staff was attentive, and their menu offers a wide variety of options; if you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or omnivore then you have something to try. They are also substitution friendly, so you may have some low-carb options. The staff brought water for the table immediately, offered recommendations on menu items when asked, and brought a biscuit while the meal was prepared. The patio was pleasant, clean, and ready for guests. -----‐------------------------------------------------------ I visited again, and for this visit, I would remove a star. The food was lovely(and I wrote so on the check) but the waitress with the dark braid seemed to be amused by something and I ended up sitting on the patio for some time waiting for service; I had to call the restaurant to have someone come out with a togo container. The foam container she brought smelled funny(do they have recyclable options?). I still tipped over 20%, but the waitresses this morning seemed to be on a different wavelength.

I have celiacs disease so it's very hard to eat out with my family. I spoke with one of the chefs and he was kind enough to discuss in detail what he could make, what precautions he could take and what things he couldn't control. I appreciated his honesty and willingness to make something safe for me. My family enjoyed an amazing brunch and I felt safe eating here. Everyone was kind and honest, which is amazing!

A sushi and noodle shop that's been a downtown Chapel Hill staple for over 20 years, weathering the pandemic and maintaining student and family-friendly menu options all the way. Many of the staff are familiar faces to locals visiting year after year, making fresh and tasty eats for new and returning customers. Sushi, noodles, bowls, salads, and dessert options are available with beer, wine, and sake to pair. Their menu also has options marked for gluten-free and vegetarian diners. It is a great place to try your first bite of sushi if you've yet to do so, and a nice stop for quick menu or conveyor belt orders if you're spending time downtown. I have enjoyed many of their offerings; today's lunch special was lovely.

This place is a gem! They pack so much flavor and juice ness into their food. The gluten free buns are the perfect texture, soft with a small crunch that is so scrumdiddly with the hot dog…. Their cheese fries are also so dreamy and somehow fresh tasting… the fries are never soggy! And the prices are amazing! U can’t find a better value meal on Franklin! Plus they have maple view ice cream, so forget about ben n Jerry’s!
