Chinese

Blue Koi brings a rare sense of comfort for celiac diners craving Chinese flavors, thanks to a clearly marked gluten-free menu and staff who truly get the gravity of cross-contact. While the kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free, years of overwhelmingly positive experiences from sensitive celiacs—many reporting no symptoms even after numerous visits—suggest a level of vigilance that's hard to find in Asian dining. Dishes like the chicken with black bean sauce, fried tofu, and lettuce wraps burst with bold flavor, and that joy of safe bubble tea is a treat we don't take for granted. Still, mistakes can happen during busy shifts or with takeout, so it's wise to double-check your order and chat with your server about your needs—because at Blue Koi, they genuinely seem to listen.
