What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Rice bowls with gluten-free proteins (e.g., chicken, steak/beef) and gluten-free teriyaki sauce.
- Meatballs that are gluten-free according to the customer feedback in multiple recent experiences.
- Rice noodles bowls, with gluten-free sauce options available.
- Gluten-free teriyaki sauce, including a separate container noted by some staff for cross-contact prevention.
- A menu that flags gluten-free items and offers a range of GF-friendly toppings and sides (with many reviewers calling out the availability of GF options and allergen clarity).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- While many guests report careful glove changes and dedicated GF handling, there are historic and sporadic reports suggesting cross-contamination is possible in some scenarios (older reviews mention incidents or items that are not GF, or practices that could lead to cross-contact if not managed carefully).
- Some reviewers warn about specific items that may not be GF (as cited in various customer experiences), and a few anecdotes mention missteps when ordering online or picking up curbside.
- Overall, the current pattern in recent visits leans toward strong cross-contamination precautions, but a cautious approach (informing staff of the allergy, confirming GF status of sauces, and requesting glove changes for each bowl) is prudent.
