Best Gluten Free Thai in New York

Somtum Der brings the bold, vibrant flavors of Isan Thai cuisine to the East Village, with a chef-driven menu that thoughtfully marks gluten-free options and accommodates celiac guests. While it’s not a dedicated gluten-free facility, staff are consistently described as knowledgeable and attentive, offering a separate GF menu and making custom adjustments when needed—honestly, that extra care means the world when you’re used to dodging soy sauce landmines. The kitchen leans into naturally gluten-free staples like rice noodles and papaya salads, so you can savor dishes like their signature Pad Thai or larb with a bit more confidence than most Thai spots. Still, if you’re super sensitive, it’s worth mentioning your needs clearly—cross-contamination risk is present, but with proactive communication, many diners with celiac report safe and memorable meals here.
