Ma Der Lao Kitchen feels like a breath of fresh air for celiacs who usually spend their meals on edge—here, nearly everything on the menu is gluten-free by default, with clear labeling of the rare exception (hello, Thursday Khao Soi). The kitchen's switch to gluten-free oyster sauce means you can dig into vibrant Lao classics like crispy rice salad and sticky rice without second-guessing. Staff are genuinely knowledgeable and seem to welcome questions about cross-contact, and there’s even a dedicated gluten-free fryer for those crave-worthy wings. While it’s not a 100% dedicated facility, the community buzz and menu transparency make this spot one of Oklahoma City’s safest—and most joyful—choices for gluten-free diners.
