Great Gluten Free Chinese Food- Olathe, KS

Finding good gluten free take out is always a challenge for us with Celiac Disease or a Gluten Intolerance. That's why I believe in seeking out locally owned, smaller restaurants who are more likely to be gluten-free-friendly. For those of you in the Kansas City metro area, Asian Pearl Restaurant in Olathe is one such establishment! 


While Asian Pearl does not have a gluten free menu, the owner Shu-wen (I apologize to all for the potential misspelling!) is incredibly Gluten Free friendly. I introduced myself to her on our first visit, skeptical that a Chinese restaurant, with so many recipes based on soy sauce, could accomodate my dietary requirements. Since that first visit in early October, she always has suggestions on which items, new and old, are naturally gluten free or can be adapted. One of my favorite dishes is the Triple Delight in a white sauce. It's chock full of shrimp, beef, chicken and veggies! A new addition to their menu are Vietnamese salad rolls (think unfried spring rolls) which are naturally gluten free-but be sure to skip the dipping sauce which is made with soy sauce. Finally, I branched out to something new- the Young Chow Fried Rice which is made sans soy sauce. It was absolutely delish and was filling as a main course.

Regardless of whether your gluten free or gluten full, Asian Pearl has something for everyone. The upscale and comfortable environment is a great match for their wonderful cuisine. They regularly run coupons in VAL PACK and even offer free delivery within a 10 mile radius of their location at the corner of 119th and Ridgeview.  

Give Asian Pearl a try, you won't be disappointed!
