Soooooo good!! Highly recommend whether you need to eat gluten free or not! Super fresh, hot & fantastic tasting gluten free Chinese food. It's better than any "regular" Chinese food I'd had prior to being diagnosed celiac. Everything we tried was delicious - fried rice, chop suey, chicken balls, general tao chicken, etc. but my favourite was the honey garlic pork. Everything was so good we ordered more food for takeout to go along with our leftovers from dinner. Also a great selection of frozen items. It was well worth the hour & a half drive for us to get there & we'll definitely make the trip to get there a few times a year!
They had a lot of freezer items, and different shapes of gluten free pastas, which was nice to see. There were also a lot of lovely baked goods in the case.
I read that they had GF beaver tails, so that's why I came. I was excited to try my first beaver tail (newcomer to Canada). When I got it, it was slightly warm on the edges, but refrigerator-cold and damp in the middle. My partner told me they are usually fried, so it should have been piping hot. It was disappointing.
I was thinking about getting a sandwich, but overheard someone ask about getting pasta, but it would have taken 40 min for that. Surprising, since they use the dried pasta they sell to make it.
I had some questions about items, but felt dismissed and almost belittled by the answers. I was off-put by the rude tone, and combined with my disappointing menu item, won't be back.
I'm sure it's fine if you're just going for cookies or frozen goods, but some other folks and myself were wondering if someone was actually there. It took quite some time for the owner to come out from the back. Not sure if that's the norm- maybe they were short-staffed, but don't go unless you have lots of extra time to spare.
Me and my friends absolutely love this place!! We come here regularly and are always super happy with our food/service! The portion sizes are very generous and the quality is always spot on. I got the croffle lunch sandwich and it was absolutely phenomenal!! Isabella was our server and she did an amazing job! She deserves all the hype!! She was very kind, attentive and accommodating:) One of my friends has celiac and they have really good options for gluten allergies (she got the waffle away breakfast)!
My husband and I went this evening for our 1st time. We celebrated his birthday. We were both super impressed with the atmosphere and service.
I have Celiac and they do an amazing job and make you feel welcome comfortable and welcome..
Thanks to Jacob our fantastic server and the managers Luke and Jordan.
We will be back!!
The staff, as always was very accommodating and attentive to food allergies. I have celiac and allergies to certain components of dairy. I didn't want to confuse my server with small nuances, but was appreciative rather than annoyed every time I was asked about my butter being safe for me (it lacks what I'm sensitive to). Thankfully, they were able to move our party to a less cramped space, but despite having reservations for a birthday gathering, our seating arrangement was quite awkward.
The menu had a lot of good vegetarian options at least 5 or more which is pretty rare these days. I've also seen they had options for gluten free and vegan.
When we arrived without a reservation they were able to accommodate us but if you have a bigger party I would make a reservation as it was quite busy even for a Sunday night.
The servers were super friendly and covered for each other, meaning when your server was occupied another would drop by the table to help out.
The food was amazing, fresh cooked pasta from scratch which tons of flavour and good sized portion. They also had an really good breadbasket that seemed a bit endless and that you could dip into some quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
The atmosphere was lively with the kitchen in the middle and two dining rooms. Overall the space was clean. The only negative with the atmosphere or the space was the parking situation, on a busier night you have to park farther away from the door which can be difficult if you have mobility issues and it was a bit dim inside with the dark coloured furniture and cream walls. Maybe it's brighter during the day but at night I'd like brighter lighting.
Definitely would go back. Add it to your list as a Italian place with quality that caters to a range of eating preferences and is mid range budget wise.
Had a pleasant dinner at the Pickle Barrel at Vaughan Mills. Our server Vanessa was personable, helpful and offered the perfect level of attentiveness. We got the tomato (delicious!) and fish and chips (solid). The sticky toffee pudding and gluten free chocolate cake were also great. Would return.
We had a wonderful experience with our visit to State and Main today. From the moment we entered we were greeted by our server Isabella (Izzy) with the warmest smile. She was very helpful with me in helping me choose from the gluten friendly menu. She checked in on us with a big smile each time. She truly made our experience at S&M a wonderful one. Thanks Isabella!
I have Celiac's disease and there was no shortage of gluten free options. They could do GF pasta with most of their sauces, GF pizza dough, and even plenty of GF appetizers!
I was running late one day so l stopped at Hero Burger at Weston rd and hwy 7 and I was really impressed that gluten free buns were available there. The people working there are just amazing very friendly always smiling. Their burgers are so delicious. After that I was stopping there about 3 times a week to pick up burgers. Now I actually Call them before l go and they recognize my voice and when I get there my order is ready. I've been doing this for the last year now and the burgers are always amazing and delicious. Thanks to everyone who works at Hero Burger at Weston and hwy 7 you guys are awesome .
Meh! Thank you for reading and responding to my quick comment. I chose the ground beef nachos because I am allergic to gluten. The portion was large, but they were salty for my taste and just run-of-the-mill bar fare. The dish was not bad, but I expected something more interesting that would align with the Jack Astor reputation.
I have tried almost EVERY thai express location you can think of in Ontario (in GTA and outside of GTA) as well as Quebec and I have to say, this is by far the BEST location.
The food is always amazing with enormous amount of portion, always freshly made so quickly right in front of you, sometimes it takes only ONE MINUTE?!
I have been coming here for over three years now and the consistency is unmatched.The interior is clean and open, with amazing kind staff. I probably go here at least once a week and it is a family favourite!
They also prioritize dietary restrictions so my friend who is gluten free and my fiance who is vegan can also enjoy the food as much as I do without a single worry.
If you want great food with great customer service from the sweetest staff, this is your sign to try the place out!
Side note: I used to hate tofu but they deep fry their tofu and it is like a pillow and soaks up the sauce and so juicy, it is honestly the best thing EVER. Don't hate it until you try it ;)
Gluten free pizza was very good. Mushrooms on salad were overcooked and we asked for no cheese on one dish and initially it was served with cheese. They took it back without question and replaced it. They listened and thanked us for the feedback. Very good attitude by staff. I would come back and recommend
They didn’t have any tables available but they let us sit at the bar because we were in a rush, and they took excellent care of us. The food was amazing, as usual. Jacob who greeted us at the door was very kind, and our waiter Marianne was great too. And obviously the food was amazing, as usual. They accommodated my gluten allergy as well which is always appreciated! Thanks!!! ⭐️
I recently visited this pizza place for the first time, eager to try it out and order three different pizzas. The staff informed me of their promotions and explained them in detail, which seemed great at first. However, when I tried to use the promotions, I ran into several issues that left me frustrated.
For example, there was a promotion for an XL pizza with two toppings. I asked to add a third topping and pay extra for it, but I was told this wasn’t allowed. The price difference between the promotion and a regular 3-topping pizza was $15, which didn’t make sense. Why not allow customers to pay for additional toppings?
Then, I considered one more promotion for two medium pizzas, each with two toppings (a total of four toppings). I asked if I could put three toppings on one pizza and one topping on the other, still sticking to the four-topping total. Again, this was denied. Although I wasn’t happy, I reluctantly agreed.
Finally, I requested one of the medium pizzas to be gluten-free and offered to pay the difference. Once again, I was told this wasn’t possible, meaning I couldn’t use the promotion. At that point, I decided not to get pizza for myself and looked for other options.
Ultimately, I ended up ordering two pizzas without any promotions, as this was what my wife wanted for a small party we were hosting.
The overall experience was disappointing. The rigid rules around promotions make no sense and don’t allow for customer preferences or basic flexibility.
The only reason I’m giving two stars instead of one is because of the staff member who assisted me. He was nice, patient, and genuinely tried to help, but the policies tied his hands. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone
A true hidden gem!
We stopped by before a business meeting to celebrate my partner’s birthday and were lucky to have the place to ourselves. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with an open kitchen concept that made the experience feel extra special. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive — the service was top-tier.
The food? Absolutely phenomenal. We ordered the shrimp tostada (a must-try!), the lamb, and the hen — all perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Even the starter salad was memorable, with incredibly fresh ingredients. Every dish was a solid 10/10.
To top it off, they surprised us with a gluten-free, dairy-free brownie to celebrate the birthday — a thoughtful touch that meant a lot, especially with my dietary restrictions. They were so mindful and accommodating. This spot checks all the boxes for me — can’t wait to come back!

This place is so good. I have some dietary restrictions and the lady there was informed about all their ingredients. She was able to make me really good food and a drink. Highly recommend for anyone who is gluten or dairy free.
Delicious, healthy dairy free and gluten free options, and great tasting almond milk cappuccino.
If they had stevia and faster internet it would be 5 starts for sure!
Came in on a Saturday a few minutes before closing and got the most welcoming service one can hope for.
The food was fresh, and very flavourful. Ordered 4 different dishes and each one tasted different.
The gluten free pizza was excellent!
First, we were seated promptly at 7 PM, but the evening quickly took a nosedive when the server informed us that they were *already* out of all appetizers. At 7 PM. For a restaurant that boasts an extensive menu, this was beyond disappointing and set the tone for what was to come.
Things only got worse when we noticed that items clearly labeled as "gluten-free" on the menu were, in fact, *not gluten-free.* This is not just misleading—it’s dangerous. As someone who has a serious sensitivity to gluten, I trusted the menu and paid the price. I ended up getting severely sick after the meal, ruining not only my night but several days afterward.
Adding insult to injury, they sneakily included a tip in the bill due to our party size (6 people) but failed to disclose this when presenting the check. They then tricked one of my friends into tipping a second time on top of the already included gratuity. This lack of transparency felt deceptive and unprofessional.

For the price point, this place cannot be tested by the competition. The dedication and craftsmanship they display when making your sushi (and other items) is magnificent.
The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and they cater to those who are celiac without sacrificing the taste.
The atmosphere of this location is nice, nothing crazy, but nice, not overwhelming on the senses. Just wish they had more seating options. Overall, a great place to get some food before, or a Vaughan Mills trip. Just a heads up, it does get busy in the area when the mall is about to close.
Overall, keep up the good work.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank Johnny and his team for such a wonderful meal this evening! We were a group of 10 but the server did an amazing job of ensuring we all had what we needed and when we needed it, and the restaurant was packed! Their attention to detail and the service was second to none.
Now, a special shout out to our server, whose name I did not get - and that is absolutely my bad - when I asked about gluten free options - she thanked me so she could let the Chef know as she cooks the pasta in a separate pot - so for those with celiac - I do think that this is more than a safe place for you to eat and they have grilled calamari that is a must have!
Word around the table is their Margherita Pizza, and their meatballs are a must try - and that you can’t leave without trying the Tiramisu!
We are already planning our next dinner and who we can introduce to this wonderful gem! If you are going on the weekend - be sure to make a reservation as unfortunately some could not be accommodated!
We were 3 ladies out for lunch. Person 1 celiac and gluten free, Person 2 chromes & colitis and Person 3 diverticulitis. The server was amazing . We advised her of of dietary needs and she offer ed suggestions. They served a board of gluten free foccaci & olives to start.it was tasty. Person one had grilled chicken on a bed of polenta. Person 2 had gf pasta & chicken and Person 3 had gnocchi with red sauce. We were so pleased we all found something to enjoy off the menu. It was also one of the only restaurants open on a Monday in the area. Thank you for contributing to a successful ladies lunch. We will return again.
Pancakes were divine - a bite of heaven. I had the gluten free pancakes and was surprised at how good they tasted! Can’t wait to come back and try the other options
This is a small shop in Woodbridge and looks unassuming at first.
I ordered the fresh bun with the OH MY COD! As the protein. Oh my cod is a crispy deep fried cod using gluten free batter.
I also made it a combo so it came with pop and sriracha powdered fries.
For sauce I got the avocado crema and the signature southeast. And got everything for the toppings.
The order did take some time to make since they are a small shop with catering orders and like 6 other customers.
The sandwich is so big that you can easily split it with someone or take it to go for another meal.
The bread to filling ratio is perfect! The bread was thin but just enough to hold everything together. The flavours is so amazing as well!
The fries were the highlight in my opinion. It was so good! Especially when dipped with the chipotle sauce.
Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant and I love the food. Would definitely come here again if I’m in the area. Also the food is pretty good value for its price point.
We hosted my future sister-in-law's Bridal Shower at 9Baci & we cannot say enough good things about the experience. 9Baci made it so easy by providing the linens, sweet card, backdrop & champagne wall. Along with those items we also got to pick which chargers, glasses & utensils we wanted for the night. We brought in our own flowers by all the decorating was done by the staff so when we got there as hosts, we just got to sit & enjoy!
The food, as always, was next level. The Bride & I are both Celiac & the staff went above & beyond to ensure that we were safe to enjoy our meal.
There was never a moment that there was an empty glass, a dirty dish on the table or anything wanting anything. The service was exceptional.
Thank You to Cathy & her team for truly making this an unforgettable night.
Love the fries here.
They don't have gf buns.
I'm sorry, but can't remember what the burger tastes like. I was too busy trying to hold my lettuce "bun" together.
This place should use the unbuns. They're keto, and gluten free.
A really cool breakfast spot if you’re looking for some good breakfast and cool vibes. Kotsy’s looks like a really cool 80s diner with a modern menu. It offers a wide range of breakfast items and caters to dietary restrictions such as keto and gluten-free (although not many GF options).
The breakfast is really filling and delicious. Would definitely return!
My friends and I were looking for a place to eat and stopped at Earls. The restaurant closed at 12 am and we arrived by 11 pm. The hostesses informed us that the wait could take up to 30 min. Ten minutes later we were sitted. The waitress looked at us from the kitchen and complained to one of her friends that we had just arrived. She was the least welcome person I had seen and took our orders in a rush as the kitchen would close at 11.45 pm. We ordered fries to start and our dishes. The one I chose wasn't available so I had to pick something else. Right after that the fries and my dish arrived at the same time. My friends food took over 10 minutes to arrive and one of the dishes was a salad. The salad came with croutons, wich were not mentioned in the menu, and my friend, who is gluten intolerant, could not even eat her food, and at that point was too late to order something else. They took our drinks and they didn't ask if we wanted refills. The food was very average and my dish, that was a tortellini, had fettucinni pieces in it. Overall this was one of the worst experiences we had in the recent times in a restaurant. We won't be coming back and I don't recommend. There are better places in the premisses.
Honestly not impressed with the service I received this time. I felt like the bartender was trying to upsell me on everything. I ordered an espresso martini and he then asked if I wanted a shaken one or one from the machine which I replied whatever is on the happy hour menu. This was the first red flag. I’m sorry I don’t believe in upselling in that sense if it’s the same price then it’s fine to ask which one, but when an espresso martini is on the happy hour menu for 5 dollars why would you ask me which one I want. It seems pretty eye gouging to me. I then asked about the shrimp tacos. I asked about it being gluten friendly he suggested a lettuce wrap which I said ok. I asked for one taco. I want to make it known that I only had a drink menu in front of me. I never had a food menu in front of me. I was clearly looking at a drink menu happy hour. I asked for a side of hot sauce. He said it came with it. I was like ok. I stepped out and came back in to three tacos with nacho chips. My bf didnt want to make a big deal about so he said he would eat it. I’m sorry if I worked there and I knew that something was on the happy hour menu I would make sure to differentiate. Three tacos that I never ordered cost me 22 something where 1 taco is 5 something. I’m sorry that is so wrong. It’s my fault because I should have said something but it was also 1230 at that point. We also asked for napkins which he replied I have napkins but no plates. I’m sorry you have no plates for an entree of tacos that you decided to order for me. Absolutely terrible. To be honest I would never go there again for happy hour as it’s not good customer service. I believe in giving your guest the best possible experience not in making the bill as big as possible so you can make the most money possible. Not impressed and left a really sour taste in my mouth. Please train your servers and bartenders to ask the necessary questions.
The manager was very helpful and recommended food for my husband who is celiac and made sure it was free of contamination.
I am thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism from both the manager and the server we had. Very courteous and sociable.
