We had a party of 7. Three of us have celiac and I have soy allergies. The manager was so helpful and printed off menus just for us with the categories and food we can eat. The food was amazing and it was nice to know exactly what would be safe for us. Kudos to Long Beach P. F Chang.

The food, portions, prices, and service are all absolutely fantastic! They even gave us free gluten-free cookies with our meal when they realized our order was mostly gluten-free. We really appreciated that attention to detail. I highly recommend this restaurant!

This place is so amazingly good! I have to avoid wheat, so I ordered the chile relleno which is gluten free, their ranchero sauce is made in house, incredible! The pintos, oh so good, the service, the decor, and there are so many gluten-free dessert options, the lemon cheesecake Takes the Cake :-) thank you!

The chicken and risotto were delicious! The poutine was ok, but abundant. They have gluten free options for many dishes.

Cutest shop in downtown Long Beach! OMG! If you want dessert… come here! Whether you want a flight of pie shots, “cutie pies” (pies in little mason jars), a slice, or a FULL pie, you can’t go wrong here. ALL the flavors are done well (we LOVED marionberry, key lime, & ube cheesecake) and I love all the limited time/seasonal ones as well (banana cream pie when I was there!) I do highly recommend the flight if you’re indecisive like me because you’re able to try 4 different flavors. FYI: they also vegan & gluten-free flavors - you don’t se that often! I will be back, and back again! DELICIOUS!

Great little stop for brunch. They have great options and gluten free options, but it's hard to resist the pancakes and french toast. Service is fast and friendly, and the portions are good.

Maddiy Cook

celiac, didn't have an issue and the staff was knowledgeable, the tacos have to be made as lettuce wraps though

Just moved to the area and this is my go-to Grubhub order when I don’t feel like cooking or going out. There’s a little place in austin I used to go to all the time that’s similar and I’d missed it so much after moving. But then I found moon bowls! I’m gluten free so I love finding tasty options - the sweet potato noodles and bbq chicken with pickled onions and broccoli are my jam. Never disappointed. I also noticed that they personally respond to every review and I think that’s a great touch. Shows they care. I guess you can’t please everyone but I’m surprised they don’t have a 5 star average with the quality of the food. I paid more because it was Grubhub - but I think it’s close to $20 before the fees. I guess it’s a little pricy… still worth it though.

My family went here. Pizzas were delicious. Great service. Everything was good! My mom is gluten free so we got the cauliflower, which is GOOOOD!

Daniel Swisher

The crust on their pizza is good but not for the price. Also tried gluten free pizza crust and its disappointing.

I have a gluten allergy, and it can get challenging to find a pizza crust that isn't weird and soggy. LW Pizza did not disappoint. I ordered a cheese pizza w gluten-free crust, it was amazing, and they'll deliver to you at the bar across the way. The cheesecake is basic, but if you need a slice in a pinch, there ya go. Yaaay us!!!

Tina Timmer

Wow, this place is incredibly new, but definitely a food spot to watch out for! Who would've thought you could find fast food that's both healthy and delicious at an affordable price in SoCal? Ben's Fast Food is truly exceptional. I tried the Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder Bowl and it was absolutely perfect. The meat was tender and flavorful, paired perfectly with fresh veggies and seasoned rice. The chipotle sauce took it to another level. I was impressed to see that they cater to various dietary restrictions and offer options for gluten, soy, dairy, and fish allergies, as well as vegetarian, vegan, and keto choices. Their smoothies are also fantastic - refreshing and lightly sweet without any added sugar. Just keep in mind that it's only for pick-up, but definitely worth taking home. Bon appétit!

If you have food allergies stay away from this place. We ended up in ER even though we emphasize our kid is having anaphylaxis allergies to gluten and egg and they assured their pizza doesn't have any.

I had the most amazing gluten free ahimsa burger at higher taste!!! Would definitely recommend to anyone! I'm so excited to try their other items, also the cookies are A+

I have been coming to this place for quite sometime. As someone with Celiac I was excited to see the gluten free options, especially the fries! After eating there multiple times and asking about the fries being in a separate frier we were told they were. It wasn’t until the last time that our server informed me that they cannot guarantee the fries weren’t fried with the pita, even though they have 2 friers! She did check and was told that on that day they hadn’t fried pitas in the same frier. Sadly we went again hoping for the same outcome, but that was not the case. Evidently both friers had fried the pitas. Our server actually tried to charge us $10 for some cucumbers to have with our hummus, despite not getting the pita. It makes me super sad that we cannot go there safely and I won’t be able to bring friends and family there anymore. *Edited to update. I so wanted to give them other chances after my last review, based on the owner’s response. However, just tonight our server informed us that my regular dish is NOT dairy free! The manager doesn’t even know, how can they expect their servers to be properly trained? He gaslit me by asking if I had a reaction before! It’s none of his business! Every reaction can vary and before they someone, PLEASE train your staff m!!!

When you have a fast food craving as a vegan it’s hard to find good options and I was really impressed with this place. Everything was amazing. The “Bacon Cheeseburger”, the sweet potato fries, the organic lemon lime soda…. and the gluten free peanut butter pie was AMAZING!!! The whole menu is vegan!!

Ground Hideout is like a home away from home. I moved in a few blocks away during the beg of the pandemic ,and found this spot during one of walks. The family is beautiful and makes you feel welcome every time you come in. The drinks are delicious and creative, and they sometimes have vegan and gluten free options for their pastries!

The food here is always delicious. Wonderful chef and staff. Great gluten free options. Leave some time when you're coming in or picking up an order, there is always a wait. It's understandable. I've been coming here for years, so I always schedule with that in mind. The food and service is worth the wait. So grateful there is a fully vegan sushi place that offers gluten free tempura nearby. I have not found any other sushi places with crunchy gluten free options. Thank you for that!

Arunkumar Muthalampet

A very good vegan place. They have a lot of options for Gluten free, soy free as well. The staff is very helpful as well. They are located at a nice place as well. A little pricey I would say. You should definitely try the strawberry lemonade.

Jessica Globe

Since I have celiac disease and I'm vegan, eating out can be a challenge for me, so this place was an exciting find. I love having more than one or two options on the menu. Eating with chopsticks was also a fun experience for us, the food was delicious, and the staff took it to the next level. The gentleman who served us was kind and considerate. He really made us feel at home away from home! Will definitely come back here next time we're visiting Long Beach.

Fantastic vibes in here! Loved the music and all my friends loved the beer. The sour was my favorite. If you're gluten free, there's the Sake Secret pop up inside and it's legit! If you're new to sake or u need a gf alternative, there's so much to learn and so many Japanese sake options to choose from :)

Diedre Proctor

They do a great job and I LOVE that they offer GF options on some stuff. Some of the combinations are weird to me because the cinnamon in the rolls is VERY prominent toy pallet. However, in our house for the gluten eaters we love the apple pie roll. And for the GF eaters the GF brownies are BOMB! just make sure you call ahead to order as they don't make them daily.

I’ve been here a few times and the vegan sandwiches are delicious, but Im always disappointed with the size of the Gluten-free bread they use. I got a meatless Mike and the meatballs don’t even fit in the bread and my sandwich falls apart when I try to take a bite. The gluten free bread is so small compared to the regular bread they serve on other sandwiches and it’s not anywhere close to being big enough to keep meatballs in it. I also feel it’s the size a child would eat, and has never filled me up. For the expensive price, it’s sadly not worth it.

I don't normally like ramen restaurants because I've gone to a few before and I would rather have top ramen at home. My bestie suggested this place because she needs gluten free and I need vegan options. This restaurant is a cut above the rest. The food almost made me cry it was so good. I'll NO DOUBT eat here again.

Mark Mintz

Fantastic lunch, great portion size and really reasonable price. I was very happy with my salmon bowl with house sauce, and they suggested the vegan dream sauce to my friend who enjoyed it too. The only complaint is there is stuff on the menu that is probably gluten free, and not marked as such. It would be nice if sauces and stuff had those listed

Chloe Williams

Appu’s is always delicious and the service is with a smile. I like that I can get gluten free and vegan options!
