Bistro Chen feels like a bit of a unicorn for gluten-free Chinese food lovers—so many dishes can be made gluten-free, from crispy orange chicken to sushi, and the kitchen team has real knowledge about celiac safety. The staff are upfront about what can and can't be made safely, and several reports mention dedicated fryers and even celiac staff helping shape protocols, which is pretty rare. That said, it’s not a dedicated gluten-free facility and the menu isn’t marked, so clear communication is essential every time you order (sometimes you just have to repeat yourself, right?). For celiacs who are comfortable in shared kitchens with strong protocols and want to indulge in those elusive Chinese classics, Bistro Chen might just hit the spot—but there’s always that background hum of caution when cross-contact is possible.
