When you are choosing a restaurant for gluten-free Chinese food in Farmingdale, it helps to know more than whether gluten-free options are available. You want a sense of the dishes, how to order them, and where to check the current selection.
At Lotus Restaurant, our gluten-free menu has included Chinese favorites, noodles, rice dishes, vegetables, and selected sushi. This guide highlights a few examples to help you plan a meal. It is not the full menu, and dishes, preparation, pricing, and availability can change. Visit our gluten-free dining page, check the current ordering menu, or call us before ordering.
Chinese favorites, including sesame chicken
Sesame chicken has been part of our gluten-free selection, alongside dishes such as chicken with cashew nuts, Chinese-style pepper steak, and shrimp with lobster sauce. These give you several starting points when you are deciding what sounds good for dinner.
Ask specifically for the gluten-free version. A dish with the same name on the regular menu may use a different preparation. If you have a question about ingredients or an additional allergy, speak with our staff before placing the order.
Gluten-free noodles and pineapple fried rice
Our gluten-free selection has also included chow fun, mei fun, fried rice, and pineapple fried rice. Pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp is one example from the menu, bringing rice, pineapple, and both proteins together in one dish.
Check the current selection for available dishes and protein choices. Use the gluten-free section when ordering online rather than assuming a regular noodle or rice dish is prepared the same way.
Small plates, vegetables, and sushi
For a small plate, crystal shrimp dumplings and edamame tossed in sea salt have appeared on our gluten-free menu. Vegetable options have included baby bok choy and string beans with garlic sauce.
If you prefer sushi, selected options have included the Ace Roll, New Lotus Roll, and cucumber-wrapped riceless rolls. Browse our sushi page for a broader look at the sushi bar, then confirm your choices against the current gluten-free selection. The regular sushi page includes dishes outside that selection.
How to plan your order
For a meal at the restaurant, reserve a table and ask your server for the current gluten-free menu. For takeout or delivery, check our direct online ordering menu for current availability. Delivery depends on your address.
Our gluten-free menu requests no substitutions or modifications. Please tell our staff about every allergy or dietary requirement. Our kitchen also handles wheat, nuts, dairy, and other allergens. If you have celiac disease or need to avoid cross-contact, discuss current preparation practices with the restaurant before deciding what to order.
