Came here for lunch with my celiac son. Ordered ramen labeled gf. Told the server about his allergy, and she assured us everything we ordered was safe. He started throwing up as soon as we got home. We had brought home some left over ramen, so I grabbed my Nima and tested it. Sadly there was a lot of gluten in the ramen. Wish I had taken the Nima to the restaurant!

We come here all the time and always have a great experience. I’ve had most everything on their menu that is gf because they have separate oven space and stove space for gf food. (They even have gf buns, pita, and pizza crust (which is cooked safely))They are very aware of celiac/gluten allergy and will always take care of you. They go above and beyond to ensure safe experiences.

The waiter was very knowledgeable about what I could order or what they could change on the menu to accommodate what I wanted. I enjoyed a turkey burger with a gluten free bun , so delicious!

Before celiac, I thought this place was very safe for those with celiac disease. After my diagnosis, it was the first place I went out to eat. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce with avocado. I had a side of kale salad with nothing on it and champagne vinaigrette. I was terribly sick within 30 minutes. They bake here in an open kitchen. I would stay away if you have celiac disease.

Good variety of food and good attention to allergens. Clear menu markings. They know what celiac is. Just a little pricy

Server was knowledgeable and made sure to write down my allergy. I ordered the vegetarian burrito bowl. A separate waiter brought my food and confirmed the meal was marked for a gluten allergy. Server gave us a free gluten free chocolate cake dessert as well!

Been here many times love the food. It can be a bit pricey but the gluten free options are worth it. They have gluten free options on the menu and the manager will personally hand to you so you know it's gluten free. Lovely staff and good gluten free options.

This location of True Food Kitchen is located in the Westfield Mall in Century City. It's a good location for a lunch or dinner, as they have clearly marked Gf choices on the menu. Their GF options include appetizers such as potatoes anfld guacamole, and tuna in lettuce wraps. They have a range of GF entrees, such as grilled salmon, seared tuna, and spaghetti squash.

The food is well made and freshly prepared with high quality ingredients. This is pricier than a lot of places, but similar to many options in Century City. Their menu features a GF pasta and desserts, but I didn't try them.

Overall their staff seemed pretty knowledgeable so risk of contamination is less than average.
