Thanks for the tip – that’s actually one of my favorite Asian restaurants as a vegetarian! The one thing peeps with Celiac have to be careful of is soy sauce – it actually contains wheat, and is therefore dangerous to those with a wheat or gluten allergy. Tamari is a safe alternative, however. Because soy sauce is so prevalent in Asian cuisine, make sure to always check before going to ANY restaurant of an Asian nature to see if they have foods that are safe to eat! I made the mistake of going to a Japanese restaurant without doing my homework, and ended up extremely sick from Seaweed salad dressing, Ponzu sauce and Saki made with a wheat component, believe it or not.

Thanks Erin for your gluten-free post! First it’s good to raise awareness about this disease. AND as another person with celiac disease who also loves going out to eat, Im always happy to learn about a place that is accomodating to us with CD.
