For all you gluten-free newbies out there, finding your gluten-free go-to restaurant is essential to keeping your sanity while navigating your new gluten-free lifestyle. I find that whenever I am tired, starving, or both, my defenses are down and I have a much higher chance of getting glutened. So save yourself some pain people and find yourself that one restaurant that is convenient, quick, tasty and best of all, super gluten-friendly. My old faithful happens to be Jenni’s Noodle House. I mean how can you not love a place with a an amazing gluten-free menu and a company motto, “It’s all good in the noodlehood?”
Not only is Jenni’s absolutely dee-lish, but it also features a menu on which almost every item can be made gluten free! (See link to menu below.) The menu is specially marked to avoid any confusion. My favorite dishes are the “Shrimp Spring Rolls,” the “Super Fried Rice” and the “Stir Me Crazy.” I like to add some brocolli to my Stir Me Crazy to green it up a little. (Pictures to come.)
Jenni’s staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions that you may have without any attitude (you know what I’m talking about). Also, always specify that you want your entire order to be gluten free.
Bonus features: Jenni’s has a super cute little patio at the Heights location for a little gluten-free al fresco dining. It is also BYOB, so bring your favorite wine with you to dinner!
I give Jenni’s five stars on the gluten-friendly scale!
Jenni’s has three locations:
Heights: 602 East 20th Street, Houston, TX 77098

I hope you love Jenni’s as much as I do, and please leave comments and let me know what your favorite Houston GF go-to is.
