⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists despite precautions.
- Reviews show a mix of experiences: many recent accounts emphasize strong staff training and careful handling, while older or isolated reports mention instances where safety measures were not fully effective.
- To maximize safety, expect proactive communication: ask for the gluten-free/allergen menu, request separate prep or cookware where feasible, and have the manager or a trained staff member confirm that gloves, utensils, and prep areas are changed for your dish.
