What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Osaka-style Okonomiyaki described as gluten-free in some experiences (main dish option with guidance from staff).
- Mochi donuts mentioned as gluten-free safe by multiple diners, with notes about dedicated fryers in some reports.
- Desserts reportedly gluten-free in some community feedback, with caveats about cross-contact in non-labeled menus.
- While not every item is marked GF, several guests report that staff can guide safe choices and that certain items can be prepared separately to reduce cross-contamination.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists by default.
- Menu labeling for gluten-free is inconsistent; reliance on staff knowledge and careful ordering is common.
- There are mixed reports about fryer availability and dedication—some guests report dedicated GF fryers, others emphasize asking before ordering certain items (like donuts).
- As with many gluten-aware places, the safest approach is to ask targeted questions about preparation, surfaces, and fryer use for items you plan to eat.
