If you're gluten-free for medical reasons, Mapo Restaurant might leave you feeling a little on edge. They offer tamari as a substitute for soy sauce, which sounds promising at first, but honestly, there's just not enough understanding or structure behind the scenes to make celiacs feel truly safe. No dedicated gluten-free menu, no separate prep space, and limited awareness of cross-contamination risks mean you'd be taking your chances here. It's the kind of place that could work for someone with a mild intolerance, but for those of us who need strict gluten avoidance, it's just not worth the risk—sometimes you really do have to put your health first, even if the menu looks tempting.
