What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Pho (gluten-free broth) – explicitly supported by guest reviews noting GF broth and by sources indicating pho can be gluten-free when prepared carefully.
- Gluten-free sauce options – the menu notes “Optional gluten-free and gluten-free vegan sauce,” suggesting some dishes can be served with GF sauces (e.g., tamari-based options) to avoid gluten-containing ingredients.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact in the kitchen is possible.
- At least one recent negative experience claims a gluten exposure despite assurances from staff, highlighting that gluten-free safety cannot be assumed across all visits.
- Some positive experiences emphasize staff knowledge and careful handling (e.g., avoiding certain sauces), but the variability across visits means caution is still warranted.
