Celiac safety profile

Japanese Restaurant
3001 Bristol St # D, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free fried chicken (karaage) made with potato starch.
- Popcorn chicken (reported to be fried in a dedicated fryer in some reviews).
- French fries (often prepared in the same fryers as GF items in dedicated frying setups, per some diners’ experiences).
- Potato salad (explicitly described as gluten-free in at least one review).
- Glucose-free/gluten-free sauces (several reviews note that sauces are available in gluten-free versions).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists, particularly if shared fryers or surfaces are used for gluten-containing items.
- While several recent reviews highlight a dedicated fryer for GF items and staff who are knowledgeable about celiac safety, other older feedback and some menu labeling observations suggest there can be inconsistencies.
- Given mixed historical feedback, it’s wise for a celiac diner to verify current fryers, sauces, and labeling at the time of visit and to consider sticking to clearly GF-designated items.
