What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free noodles (glass noodles) available; verify which dishes they can accompany.
- Veggie ramen can be made GF by omitting noodles and using rice on the side with veggie broth.
- Vegetable broth itself is mentioned as a GF option when customizing bowls.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- Some staff appear knowledgeable about GF options and modifications, and at least one staff member has celiac, which can be helpful for safety awareness.
- Recent experience shows a gluten-containing ingredient slipping into a GF-order (imitation crab in a GF roll) and a safety-status mis-entry on a GF veggie ramen. This highlights potential for cross-contamination and labeling errors.
- Overall, while GF accommodations exist, there is meaningful risk unless you can clearly communicate and confirm safety at every step.
