Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

Lulu’s Thai Noodle Shop really tries to make gluten-free dining feel less like a gamble and more like a genuine treat. Their separate gluten-free menu is a breath of fresh air, with classics like Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and curry—all using tamari in place of regular soy sauce when needed. But here’s the thing: while the menu is extensive and staff often seem knowledgeable, this isn’t a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, and allergen protocols can be inconsistent depending on who’s working that day. So if you’re celiac, it’s a bit of a roll of the dice—some folks walk away happy and healthy, others have had less lucky experiences. If you’re comfortable communicating your needs assertively and are used to asking all the questions, you might just find your new favorite Thai spot—just don’t let your guard down.
