What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free fried chicken (thighs, wings, and strips) fried in a dedicated gluten-free fryer; thighs are marinated in a gluten-free Kyushu-style mix.
- Gluten-free tofu option (fried) as part of the fried chicken lineup.
- Gluten-free bento option.
- Gluten-free salad.
- Three gluten-free dipping sauces.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is described as dedicated gluten-free, which strongly mitigates cross-contamination risk in the fryer and core GF items.
- Some sauces may contain gluten or soy, so it’s important to ask about each sauce before ordering.
- A few reviews note that not every sauce or side is GF, and one review mentions fries not being GF in at least one instance. The safest path is to confirm the exact components of sauces and sides at the moment of order.
- The ownership and staff have demonstrated awareness of gluten-related needs (including a family member with a wheat allergy), which supports careful handling and communication.
