Why Diners Choose Penrith Chinese
Why local diners rely on Penrith Chinese for coeliac-safe meals, group get-togethers, and comforting classics
Dedicated Separate Gluten-Free Menu
The kitchen provides an extensive standalone gluten-free menu, removing the friction of scanning regular dishes or interrogating staff.
One reason I especially love this Chinese restaurant is because they have a seperate gluten free menu - meaning I don’t have to look all through the menu to find what I can and can’t have - it’s all together on the one page!

They were simply amazing with the GF no cross contamination no need to panic.
