What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Yuzu poke bowl is explicitly noted in at least one account as a gluten-free option.
- The broader menu is frequently described in reviews as gluten-free or with GF labeling, with several reviewers stating that a large portion of the bowls are GF. One review specifically mentions almost the entire menu being gluten-free, with only one item not marked GF (a bowl with miso sauce).
- Important caveat: the restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a theoretical risk. Some reviews distinguish GF from gluten-friendly, underscoring the need to confirm strict GF preparation if you are highly sensitive.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination could occur in the kitchen.
- Some accounts highlight careful handling (e.g., using clean gloves for GF orders) and explicit menu labeling as mitigation.
- There are a few reports mentioning gluten-free vs gluten-friendly distinctions, including at least one instance where a person experienced a reaction after ordering a dish labeled gluten-friendly rather than gluten-free.
- Given the mix of experiences, a celiac diner should communicate clearly about GF needs at ordering and consider requesting dedicated utensils or preparation steps when possible.
