✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free broths (various options) and gluten-free sauces labeled GF.

- Gluten-free tamari used in place of regular sauces.
- Gluten-free glass noodles (and, in some cases, GF glass rice noodles as a udon substitute).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contact potential remains a consideration.
- Some reviewers noted that appetizers were not GF, highlighting variability in GF offerings.
- Positive signs include per-person hot pots and GF substitutions, but you should still verify each item with staff before ordering.
