Pure Spice Chinese Restaurant isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, but there’s a certain warmth and carefulness that stands out—especially if you’re used to being turned away or handed a bland bowl of rice. The owners have been known to go the extra mile for celiac guests, offering to prepare simple veggie dishes with rice and omitting soy sauce, all while assuring you about pan safety and ingredient swaps. Still, options are slim and there’s no formal gluten-free menu or written cross-contact policy, so the experience really comes down to clear communication and trust in their hospitality. If you’re craving Chinese flavors and don’t mind a limited but truly thoughtful meal, this spot might just leave a lasting impression—just don’t expect a wide selection or airtight celiac safety guarantees.
