I live in Uptown so when I heard about Ninja City I was very excited to try it out. Especially since they advertised vegan and gluten free options. I have Celiac so I have to eat gluten free.
The first thing I noticed was that there were only 2 gluten free meal options, and a couple different gluten free appetizers. I was pretty let down because you can make so many more meal options based on rice or rice noodles that don't have gluten in them. The menu overall was a let down.
I ordered the Korean rice bowl with white rice and chicken, I also informed the waiter about my diet restrictions. When the food came it looked different than I expected but still good. At first I wasn't sure I liked how it tasted but the more I ate the more I enjoyed it. It was still sub par but not bad. I left thinking maybe I'd come back.
As soon as I got back to my apartment my stomach was in so much pain, I knew what I ate wasn't gluten free. I felt like I ate a lot of gluten and I was confused because my dish was just rice chicken and vegetables. But then I remembered it came with a cup of sauce that I had poured over the whole thing. And I'm thinking the sauce definitely had gluten in it. So I'm pretty sure my waiter did not listen to me or was unaware the sauce had gluten in it or something. I ended up getting really sick after eating here and with their limited options and possibly poor service I will not be back.
