I had been going to Beijing Wok weekly for at least a year when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease... and did not want to give up my weekly meals there after being diagnosed -- so I took in a list of guidelines for a Gluten Free Diet and asked my regular waiter (who also does some of the cooking, some of the delivering, and I think some of everything there) if they could still feed me. He asked if they could keep the list (which I had gotten from GI Care.com) and I said yes. He looked it over and said they'd always try to figure out ways to feed me! (I've been told it hangs in the Kitchen and has been marked up as a cheat sheet for those cooking.)

They originally made all my meals with no soy sauce, but have since gotten a wheat-free "special" soy sauce. So now I order all meals with the special soy sauce and they come out Gluten Free.

If you tell the staff that you need wheat free/Gluten Free meals they should be able to help you. (A few of the waitresses have a little problem with the word Gluten, but they are always willing to go get someone else to take your order to make sure they get it right.)

I have consistently gotten good food (Gluten-Free) and enjoyed it:

Kung Pao Delight (this comes VERY spicy, and I like hot/spicy food and consider it too spicy so you may want to ask them to tame it for you) with the special soy sauce

Twice Cooked Pork with the special soy sauce

Moo Shoo Shrimp with the special soy sauce no pancakes, but if you ask they can bring you lettuce to wrap it in which is VERY good.

BarBQ Beef (I don't recall having to ask for the special soy sauce, but they know me so well that they always plan and accomodate/adjust as needed for me, so you might want to confirm if it is needed.)

They also made me some breaded/fried Chicken Wings one week that were really good and they assured me Gluten Free. They used Corn Starch and some other stuff they said.

Most recently we tried Shrimp and Snow Peas, no special soy sauce required as it came in a white sauce that is Gluten Free as is.
