🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • All menu items are gluten-free: The restaurant advertises a 100% gluten-free operation, suggesting that every dish and sauce should be gluten-free by default.
  • Gluten-free cookies: Several diners mention GF cookies as part of the experience.
  • Sauces and toppings: Reports indicate that sauces in use are gluten-free, reinforcing the safety of prepared bowls.
  • Customizable bowls: The “build-your-own” style bowls are a hallmark of the concept, with many diners praising the ability to tailor ingredients safely.
  • Note on caution: There is at least one recent account describing gluten exposure and recommending choosing potato noodles over rice to minimize cross-contact risk. This indicates a non-zero risk in practice if certain ingredients are present in processing or preparation.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Positive signals: A large body of recent experiences describe the restaurant as 100% gluten-free, with no issues about cross-contact, and staff cited as helpful regarding safety and allergies.
  • Cautionary note: A recent diner reported gluten exposure, attributing it to a starch choice and suggesting avoiding rice in favor of potato noodles to mitigate risk. This highlights that cross-contamination risks, while greatly reduced in a dedicated GF setting, can still be affected by ingredient handling or processing differences. Overall, such events appear to be rare relative to the volume of positive feedback, but they are real and worth noting for highly sensitive individuals.
