What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Market Table (salad bar) is gluten-free throughout, per the restaurant’s FAQs.
- Pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) served at table is gluten-free (made with tapioca flour).
- Table-side meat service is generally gluten-free, with staff able to point out items that are safe; staff can provide an allergen guide for verification.
- Bread and certain widely-known gluten-containing items are separated from the Market Table area (bread on a separate counter) to minimize cross-contact risk.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact risk exists in buffet formats and shared fryers at some locations or past experiences; however, recent evidence at this San Jose location notes improvements such as no longer marinating certain chicken items in beer and moving the bread away from the main market table.
- Always review the allergen guide with a manager or server, especially when choosing items from the Market Table or certain meat preparations. Several diners report no reactions when they follow the allergen lists and request guidance from staff.
