What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free sauces and marinades on the table
- Meats and vegetables prepared with gluten-free marinades
- Plain rice and GF-safe vegetables as sides
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Shared cooking surfaces: while grills are swapped/cleaned, there can still be cross-contamination risk if groups order non-GF items alongside GF items.
- One known fried item can be not GF due to fryers shared with gluten-containing foods.
- There have been rare reports of miscommunication or having to explicitly confirm GF items; asking a staff member to double-check with the kitchen is advised.
- An isolated incident in a past review highlighted a safety lapse when a newer server gave uncertain reassurance; such cases appear unusual but underscore the value of explicit staff confirmation.
