Finding gluten-free Chinese food is next to impossible, so when I found out about Out of China, I…read morehad to visit during my trip to Barcelona! Most of the menu already is or can be adapted to be gluten-free.
All ordering is via a QR code at your table, and you must connect to their WiFi in order for it to work (Mobile Data not allowed!), the online ordering was easy and had an allergen/notes option, it also automatically recorded my table number so there was no scrambling trying to find that. It also had an English language option.
I ordered the King Pao Chicken with some meatballs and rice, the portion sizes were large, and I would say that this is the ideal place to come as a group, and order multiple dishes to try.
The food came out very quickly after ordering. I was also given a soy sauce for my table but was not advised if this was gluten-free or not.
The chicken was really good and tasty, with good quality meat and veggies. It was advised as spicy, but I didn't get any spice at all. I still enjoyed it though but would have liked it to have more of a kick.
The beef meatballs were really good, and the sauce was nice, they were big and tasty, although I wasn't a huge fan of the mushrooms. They were also piping hot.
The rice was poor, it was stuck together and didn't taste good at all.
For my drink, I had their fresh lemon iced tea, this was fairly nice and I ended up ordering another.
The interior looked good, but the chairs weren't particularly comfortable.
Chopsticks were provided by default but the staff were happy to provide me with a knife and fork on request.
4* - Many positives for sure, being able to get gluten-free Chinese food alone is rare, let alone when it's pretty good too!
