Thai – From a reader: “Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up on a Thai restaurant called Thai Fresh. It is located on 84th and Division on the north side of the street. I had dinner there last night and the food was great. The best part is that if you tell them you can’t have gluten, they will modify the use of their spices (including using wheat free soy sauce) and if you are eating family style they will also leave gluten out of the rest of the dishes! They are super nice, very accommodating, and the food was delicious.” Thanks Montserrat!
