Great outdoor seating! Really good currys, a lot of vegan and gluten-free options, and the tea rolls are fantastic. Especially the Vietnamese and Thai rolls for the summer. Lovely service.

I love this Ginger Garden because I am gluten-free (allergic to wheat) and this is the only place around that can adjust their menu making for my allergy. The food is great, service friendly. However, the last time I ordered, I definitely got sick from wheat. I didn't call back to confirm the staff wrote down my allergy that I very clearly told them of. So I don't know if this was a clerical error in order taking, or if there was a mistake in the kitchen. Food is great but if you are gluten free, be very clear and follow up to confirm. Don't take yes as an answer because I did and I was definitely poisoned and unable to eat my food last time I went. I am still giving them a 5 stars because they have been great every other time. But I will be taking my own advice and making every dish be double checked with the kitchen to make sure it is gluten free. I want to continue loving this place.

Where do I start with these people…no flavor, no care to the order, no listening skills. My girlfriend placed an order for gluten free noodles, they repeated that it is GLUTEN FREE multiple times and yet it still wasn’t actually gluten free. This is our second time by the way ever being here and the second time this has happened here. Do not go here if you have any kind of gluten intolerance, they will not care.

I haven't been to this spot since it was Pinocchio's, so it has been a while. At Johnny's we had great food. They were very accommodating to our group's food allergies and we were pleased to see gluten-free pasta options or alternatives. We'll be back!

Heck yeah! Vegan AND gluten-free apple cider doughnuts!!!! And their mocha hot coffee is great. Chocolate and rich and perfectly sweet. And I love that they advocate for animals, like the monkeys being tortured in labs at UMass. 😭

Quick, friendly service - but truly terrible pizza; possibly the greasiest I have ever had in my life. Really upset my stomach. Might have been tolerable if I hadn’t ordered bacon as a topping; I’m guessing they didn’t blot the grease before putting it on. The gluten free crust was fine; my partner’s regular glutinous crust was also fine, though if you don’t like the fried Pizza Hut-style crust you might not love this one either.

I did enjoy this place. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. The police was clean and well-lit. The menu was surprisingly diverse and large. Service was awesome with friendly Happy People serving you. My big complaint was it seems to be quite expensive. Especially for a college town. The coffee was pretty good! And they have a gluten-free selection that wasn't awesome but wasn't bad either.

El Comalito is a great spot for delicious Mexican food. I had the Birria burrito and it was excellent—full of flavor and really satisfying. One thing that stood out was how many gluten-free options they offer. My wife had the gluten-free steak tacos and loved them. We’ll definitely be coming back!

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the valley. The food is fresh, delicious, and beautifully served. The staff is very attentive and the place is spotless. They are also gluten friendly and while they don't have a separate GF menu, they will prepare dishes GF if they can.

Fantastic food and even better people! Our daughter went to Umass and brought us here as she absolutely loves it. We've been back several times and have had delicious meals and great service each time. I highly recommend the pork carnitas, which is outstanding. Vegan and gluten free options are always available and the friendly staff ensures you get exactly what you want. 10/10

Came here for the first time last night for my birthday with my family. I wanted something fun, but also easeful and low key, so we came early, at 5:30 (it was a Saturday night). It was just perfect. Our server, Isaac, was lovely and attentive. None of us were drinking alcohol, but he helped us by offering a refreshing mango-seltzer option. The food was delicious — everyone was extremely satisfied with their meals. Corn tortillas were warm and soft, and the beans and rice that comes with every meal were the best I’ve had in a long time. Three of us are gluten free, and there’s plenty to choose from on the menu. All in all, a great meal - I highly recommend this place.

Highly recommend the Biang Bang Noodles, or another dish with the handmade noodles. The noodles are made to order, and there is a good amount of meat on them. I had the Hot & Sour Vermicelli Soup, but it had minimal meat, was not sour and was not spicy (don't recommend). Small resturant with 8~ tables inside, but quick service and accepting of Allergies. All handmade noodles are NOT glutenfree, Vermicelli were made from potatoes.

First visit. prompt friendly greeting, patient service (it took us a while to decide; many good choices), excellent quality food and coffee. Highly recommend the Fall Fest Latte and the grilled veggie pesto sandwich on gluten-free bread. We’ll definitely return. Thank you!

First time there and will definitely be going back. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We both had the Tokyo classic ramen. There are plenty of gluten free options - although the menu doesn't specify, the recipes can be modified so they are.
