Review of Hangry Panda: Gluten Free Fried Chicken, Teriyaki & Bubble Tea

Delicious, allergen-conscious dining.

There's no two ways about it- Hangry Panda wants you to eat without any problems. They will go to absurd lengths to ensure you do not have any issues. More on that later.

There's a great gluten free menu, dedicated fryer for gf, and you can specify online if you're gluten-friendly, gluten-sensitive or celiac. They have an array of other allergen-free options you can specify on their website when you order (and on some delivery apps as well), although some options are simply not feasible; the dedicated frier is for gf items and therefore they cannot guarantee no cross-contamination with some things if you were to try ordering something egg-free and fried, for example.

I don't really begrudge them for it, as they do everything they can to guarantee you do not have any problems and will call you personally to make sure your personal intolerance is taken into account. For example, the weekend evenings are the busiest time for them, and if they cannot safely prepare your food, they will reach out to let you know instead of making you sick. (note: I listed them having a dedicated gluten free kitchen space because they are in the process of creating that space which may be in use by the time you read this review. As of right now, they do completely clean the workspace for sensitive people, I did not have a reaction.)

Food is great. It's teriyaki and fried chicken. What's not to love?
