Char'd Kitchen

Char'd Kitchen is a vibrant Southeast Asian fusion spot that caters to a wide range of dietary preferences, but celiac diners should approach with caution. While their menu features naturally gluten-free elements like rice, noodles, and an impressive build-your-own-bowl concept, there’s no explicit evidence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen or certified cross-contamination protocols. The restaurant does mention using gluten-free soy sauce in select dishes and encourages guests to customize their meals, which is a relief for those used to navigating tricky menus. However, their own allergy disclaimer acknowledges the presence of peanuts, soy, milk, eggs—and crucially, makes no promises about cross-contact for gluten or wheat. If you’re used to asking all the questions and double-checking prep practices, you might still find joy here, but this is not a risk-free haven for strict celiacs. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you’ll need to advocate for yourself every time.
