| - As a medically diagnosed celiac, finding good gluten-free restaurants is necessary. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Sure, they are tasty, I'm willing to spend the extra $ for health(ier) fast-food, they have a nicely marked menu as items that do not contain wheat, and separate pans/tongs for special dietary requirements.
So what's the problem?? Cross-contamination. It's very clear the staff has not been properly educated on food allergies, which is very disappointing because Wok Box is so close to being there! Here's where they disappoint: (1) the separate "GF" wok & tongs are crudely scrubbed inbetween uses with the bamboo brush they use to clean all the other, gluten-laden pans, before it's hung back up on the wall (not cleaned properly) and (2) they parboil their veggies to speed up the cooking process in a big pot of water in the centre of the stove, but if you watch closely, they throw in all of their wheat-based noodles into the same water to cook them and there is no separation.
Sadly, I have noticed this at a few Wok Boxes...
