⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists when sharing a pot or cooking space; many guests mitigate this by requesting two burners or separate pots for GF portions.
- A few reports describe mis-marked items or items that contained gluten despite expectations, underscoring the importance of asking questions and possibly verifying with the kitchen.
- The pairings and cooking styles (broth vs. oil; shared equipment) mean you’ll want to plan with the staff to keep your GF experience consistent, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
- Overall, the strongest risk factor is inconsistent execution in some visits; however, with proactive communication, many diners have enjoyed extremely safe experiences.
