What a great little spot! They helped me find a gluten free option (most of the menu could be made GF) and the chai latte was delicious. The staff were all very friendly. They are a couple tables up front and more dining in the back. We'll be back!

"GLUTEN FREE SHELLS!" says the menu. "GLUTEN FREE SHELLS!" says the cashier. "Flour tortilla," says the bag... Went with my wife for some DF/GF taco's. Turns out, despite it saying GF in bold on the menu, they are not gluten free. Also of note, they have missing items on their menu. And as for the "Avocado taco" you might assume it would come with fresh avocado. Unfortunately, they've opted to use processed avocado paste. Wasn't even acceptable. Just bad. Chicken taco was almost there. But the chicken was significantly overcooked. I ended up eating in front of my wife and she searched Google for another restaurant. Not the date we were hoping for. And I'm not sure the cashier understood that vegan cheese is dairy free.

Moving to Cleveland from New York, finding Gluten Free Chinese Takeout is very difficult. My partner is gluten intolerant (not celiac) and missed having it since we’ve moved. I decided to search out a place that has GF Chinese Food and found Chin’s. It’s a 40 minute drive for us, but it’s worth every minute of the drive knowing he can safely enjoy all of his favorites again! Elaine is so nice and welcoming, helped make me feel comfortable for my partner’s food safety every step of the way!

Newest update April 26th completely different than my last review. Order was incorrect. Waited at the hostess stand for over 5 minutes had to go find somebody so I could get a seat. Was overcharged for something should have been taken off. Server was Becky. She literally took a plate out from in front of me and I wasn't even finished. So this is a hit and miss restaurant. Her tip was what she overcharged because I did not ask to have it remade and even being remade it wasn't good. So boxed everything up and left. But not without Becky standing over me for the check. What did she think I was going to walk on the check? This one was a 5* Went today for a quiet birthday with my friend. Cynthia was our server. A tad Rocky start that turned into a nice time. We had gluten-free spaghetti with meatballs cooked perfect. I am surprised the inside is really run down. We can overlook that as long as the food continues good. But turn the heat on. Thanks Cynthia

If I could give ten stars to service I would. Jess made our weekend. My wife just found out she is gluten and dairy free and has never had a good experience eating out until now. Food was delicious and Jess our server took such good care of us. We are from texas visiting places to retire, and Akron moved 17 spots up the list because of the good food, and the people here like Jess that really show how awesome it is here. Thank you so much Jess for showing us that there are good folks no matter where you go! If you are in Akron and don't stop here, you are definitely missing out. Thanks again Jess!

My wife and I went here for anniversary because she loves tea. Food was great. For not being a tea drinker, I enjoyed the tea. Our server went above and beyond to make sure my wife could have a gluten free pastry.He did apologize for forgetting to bringing us our tea. That was ok. We weren’t in a hurry to eat and go. We were given a tour of their meeting room. We look forward to going back to try other dishes

UPDATE: went again on 6/17/23 and enjoyed a fabulous steak! Half a seasonal salad for each of us. My son had the Philly cheesesteak (Farmer's Rail Brunty Farm's beef) & rosemary garlic fries which he said was the best he ever had. I had the Farmer's Rail Brunty Farm's 20oz bone in ribeye with mushroom demi glaze & grilled asparagus. It was definitely one of the best steaks I have ever had. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked and super fresh! Everything was absolutely FAN-TASTIC! Highly recommend!! Enjoyed the gorgeous patio on this beautiful night too! Excellent food! Lots of choices and even vegan and gluten-free options are available. Beautiful place inside, looking forward to spending some time on the very large deck in the summer and can't wait to see what their full menu brings!

I have celiacs and I’m always looking for a restaurant that will accommodate. We took our friends there to try it together for the first time. It was busy which is great to see! Everyone who worked there was so nice too from the minute we walked in until we left. I told the waitress about my gluten issue and it was no problem. I got the blackened grouper with asparagus; it was delicious and bonus, I didn’t get sick, which is always a major nail biting moment when I go out to eat. The rest of the group also got the grouper as well as the ahi tuna and only good things to say. I’m looking forward to going back during patio season and seeing what else they do with their gluten free options. Maybe someday they’ll have a dedicated fryer which would be amazing. I also hope that restaurants will start to switch from seed oils to other options!
