Gluten-Free Restaurants near Fountain Valley, CA

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“I was genuinely impressed by the quality and flavor of my Amuna's Tuna sandwich. Everything tasted incredibly fresh—from the Dutch Crunch, crisp bread to the well-seasoned proteins tuna. You can tell they prioritize quality ingredients and take pride in what they serve.

The sandwich was clearly sourced with care, and nothing felt processed or artificial. I loved how my meal was bursting with flavor.

Highly recommend for anyone who values quality food. Will definitely be coming back for more!“

“Great food, great waitstaff, and great atmosphere. The patio is such a nice environment to dine with large groups on a nice summer day. The sense of community is great, and many of the other guests I chatted with travel over an hour just to eat here. It's just that good of a place.

They have a band which plays karaoke on weekends. The music and musicians are great, and so many guests are eager to sing! The only thing I could ask for would be for the volume of speakers to be turned down slightly. For those who enjoy a calmer dining experience, the tables inside are a pleasure.“

“had the ahi tuna salad. it was awesome.“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“Really great ice cream and so many choices also there’s a menu kist in case you can’t decide 😉“

“I would recommend this place to anyone. I told them it was our anniversary and they had a sign on our table wishing us a Happy Anniversary. Our waiter(Michael) was fantastic, very helpful and was funny at the same time. Hope you enjoy this place as much as we did.“

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!“

“We’re huge fans of Porto’s, and visiting the Buena Park location is always a must whenever we’re on the West Coast. While we often order online from them, there’s something extra special about experiencing it in person. No matter how many times we’ve been, it never gets old—it’s always a treat.

It can definitely get busy, with lines often stretching outside the door, but the staff has the process down to a science. Every visit we've made between 10 a.m. and noon, we've been lucky—only about a 5-minute wait before placing our order. They move fast, stay organized, and somehow still manage to be friendly and attentive the entire time.

When dining in, they hand you a pager to place on your table, and everything—drinks and food—gets brought right to you. They even come around to clear the tables when you're done, which makes the experience feel that much more relaxed and enjoyable.

This time around we had the Media Noche sandwich, Lechon platter, and plantain chips, plus a good selection of pastries—cheese rolls, guava and cheese strudels, and our personal favorite, the besitos. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The Media Noche was packed with perfectly balanced, melty goodness, the lechon was tender and well-seasoned, and the plantain chips were crispy and addictive.

To drink, we ordered an iced vanilla oat latte and an iced Americano—both of which paired perfectly with our meal and pastries.

If you’re anywhere near Buena Park, Porto’s is worth the detour. The food is consistently excellent, the service is quick and efficient, and there’s something for everyone on the menu. Whether you’re dining in or taking a pastry box to go, you can’t go wrong. We’re already counting down to our next visit!“

“The tea leaf salad is delicious. Wonderful service and an extremely clean restaurant“

“I came to this plaza today because I had to take a class over the weekend here and I'm happy I was stumbled upon this pretty sweet Thai spot. The atmosphere was chill and the service was pretty friendly. I got the khao soi chicken and it was quite tasty, tender chicken, thick noodles and crispy noodles, what's not to love. I was almost tempted to order some rice to soak up more of that awesome gravy. If I was in the area I would come back again.“

“Super impressed with TMC! I work for TV production and it's generally hard to find a caterer to work within budget AND taste amazing, but y'all have hit the mark. Very friendly, accommodating staff (shout out to Carol) and many rave reviews. A lot of my crew has remarked about this being the best catering they've had on set, and I'd have to agree. We appreciate the hard work and hearty meals to get us through Season One!“

“Everything is so good! and always a welcome with a big smile“

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“I want to thank Flappy Jack’s for going above and beyond during our last visit. My husband collapsed and even with all the craziness of calling 911, you guys were so helpful and caring. We definitely will be back … my to go breakfast burrito so wonderful, and the salsa was delicious. 🤤“

“Un bout de France à Newport. Merci encore pour votre passion et dedication!“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve had outside of Japan. The lunch omakase goes toe-to-toe with some very pricey sushi meals I’ve had at a fraction of the price. Total bill including a 720ml bottle of Juemon sake was less than a single person’s omakase elsewhere.“

“Beteseb Ethio-Eritrean Restaurant is a true gem—authentic, inviting, and full of warmth. The food is rich in tradition and flavor, the prices are more than fair, and the cleanliness of the space adds to its welcoming atmosphere. What truly sets it apart, though, is the people: incredibly gracious, joyful, and attentive. I hosted a mission dinner for 20 guests, and the service was flawless from start to finish. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team for making it such a memorable evening!“

“We LOVE Il Dolce! It's like coming home and being treated to a delicious meal. We've been coming here for ten years and every time is lovely. We ordered the funghi pizza and one of the pasta specials. Both were delicious! The service was warm, engaged, and efficient. We'll be back as soon as we're in town again!“

“no me comí mi hamburguer apenas ahorita“

“Amazing atmosphere. Great service. Amazing people.“

“The best lunch & awesome staff…shout out to Brody!“

“Delicious and authentic French food with great service.“

“Delicious healthy food. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Just in town for work and looking for a place that had quality protein shakes for easy breakfast…found this place online so decided to check it out…What a find! This place is inviting, the team is great, and the shakes are absolutely amazing. I’ll be recommending this place to anyone I know in the area and those I know will be visiting. Thank you for making it an easy house for future trips!“

“Best food Round and the portions are awesome.“

“Must stop by and visit now! They’re currently offering up to 50% off almost their entire menu! Limited time only!

Parking: This is Huntington Beach .. parking can be difficult. We got lucky with a spot right in front of the restaurant. It was metered parking with the first 2 hours being free. I noticed there was also other street metered parking across the way.

Ambiance/Environment: Very warm and welcoming. It’s very spacious with plenty of indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. Great for large groups.

Service: Shout out to our server Abril! She was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, refilled our waters when needed, and checked on us while eating.

Food & Drinks:

1) Burning Titan - This was recommended to us since this was their “must try” entrees. I had the choice of substituting the meat and noodles, but I decided to leave everything as is. This only came in one size, and I’d consider it a large bowl. They were very generous with the brisket beef and amount of ramen. The soup was definitely spicy and flavorful.

2) Kung Pao Chicken - My partner wanted a rice dish. I tried his dish, and this is definitely better than Panda Express! It wasn’t too spicy though, nor was it salty. There wasn’t as many peanuts as we thought. There was a good amount of chicken to rice ratio.

3) Crispy Wonton - I like their twist on the wontons because not only did it have cream cheese, but it also had avocado! The wonton was crispppyyy with a beautiful brown color. Though, I wish it had more filling of cream cheese and avocado. Don’t forget to dip it in the sweet sauce!

4) Thai Tea with boba - This wasn’t too sweet. The boba was decently chewy. The tea had a weird aftertaste, so I think they could work on this item.

5) Vietnamese Ice Coffee - I’m a crackhead for caffeine, so of course I ordered a Viet coffee in the evening. You know it’s concentrated when they don’t fill the cup up all the way. This is what I call a Viet coffee!

Pricing: I’d say it’s definitely worth its price. We visited while they were still offering their deals. Can’t deny a bowl of pho starting at $9.99. Especially in this inflation, that’s a steal.“

“Fun location with delicious entrees, salads, drinks and so much more!“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“My family of 5 celebrated two birthdays today. We ordered take-out from Santa Maria BBQ. The food was delicious!“

“Awesome got to meet the owner Robert thank you for being so kind. See u next week for more NSA flavors 🖒“

“Love this place. Right off the freeway in a convenient location. They shop is well decorated with a nice vibe. Their coffee is always solid with good variety of drinks. It a good spot to work during the day or just swing by for a drink to go. Overall its a great little spot“

“We are both vegan and gluten-free so twice baked Bakery really attends to our needs and our taste buds. We are so thankful for their creativity and openness to try new things and this way a lot of us don't have to give up good taste. Do by the items early in the morning because they do go fast“

“Is it the best pizza ever? Nope. But is it the best pizza you are going to find at 2:30 in the morning and have fun doing it? Absolutely.

The late night pizza joint in the peninsula. Order at the counter and takeout only. Lots of cheese, hits the spot late-night. And half the fun is hanging with all the people doing the same thing.“

“Delicious variety of cookies and so many milks to choose from. pure heaven“

“I recommend that you try everything it is some of the best Vegan food I have tasted. A very great and inviting experience loved it.“

“Although the restaurant name is quite direct, the menu is filled with bold creative pizza flavors and my favorite: the option to do half and half toppings. Favorites include the Greek, Mediterranean, Indian and Thai. Absolutely delicious, almost making it worth the steep cost. I went here over a decade ago prior to even going fully vegan, still dream of it and come when I can. Oh - just don’t get the chicken strips, they’re just garden chicken strips lol not worth it.“

“Great spot, definitely worth it! The line wasn’t too bad, about 10-12 minutes. The birria sandwich was delicious, and the Mickey shaped dessert was totally worth trying. The portions are generous, my girlfriend and I actually shared the sandwich and it was perfect. I’d recommend not eating too heavy so you can keep enjoying the rides and attractions at 100%. Highly recommended if you’re around!“

“Yeah, the place is great. I actually come here quite often. I live right around the corner from the place and yeah the customer service is always great. Pizza was awesome and my favorite thing is that they’re always open really late so that’s pretty convenient. Come check them out.“

“The gentleman working was so sweet and accommodating. We walked in at closing and he still served us and let us sit inside since it was windy out. He chatted with us and we had a nice conversation, he makes a mean veggie panini! Will definitely be back 😊“

“Always, I love to be there, everything is perfect, the food, the employees…..💜“

“The vibe and sushi/bento box were fire 🔥 🔥🔥“

“We came for Sunday dinner with our 2.5yo toddler (part of the Irvine Company kids eat free special). Our server Yazzie was very accommodating and patient with all of our spills and messes. We were seated within 5-10 minutes. Everyone at this location was very friendly and in good moods. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and would come back in a heartbeat during the kids eat free season (other times during the year it’s just much easier to eat at home with a toddler haha).“

“I dropped by to try out some Keto Bakery. All I can say is WoW. The Pecan carmel squares, the chocolate donut, and the chocolate cream pie were down right amazing. They were sold out of the Banana cream pie. I'm gonna try that next time. Friendly staff too! 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Cream Pan is an absolute gem, and their legendary strawberry croissant is hands down one of the best pastries you’ll ever taste. The moment you bite into the flaky, buttery layers, you’re met with the perfect balance of crispness and softness. Inside, the delicate pastry is filled with a light, smooth custard that pairs perfectly with the fresh, juicy strawberries layered on top. Every element is thoughtfully crafted, making it feel like a little piece of heaven in each bite. Whether you’re a croissant lover or just have a sweet tooth, this is one treat that lives up to the hype and then some. Worth every visit—and the line!“

“The crew at Sidecar in Costa Mesa is top notch! They are the friendliest store around! Thank you so much for always looking out for your customers!“

“We chose Penelope's Perfection to make something really special for my Mom's 100th Birthday party. The cake was spectacular. Everything & more we could have asked for. Highly recommended!“

“Parking is pretty difficult in this lot. A lot of it is reserved for other businesses in the same vicinity. However, the fried chicken is juicy, crispy, and has the right balance of fat vs meat. The bento order i got was also very filling, and can definitely serve two people for 15 dollars.“
