What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fried chicken without sauce (explicitly noted as gluten-free in one account)
- Kimchi burger with a gluten-free bun
- Rice battered fried chicken prepared in a gluten-free fryer (explicitly mentioned as prepared in a GF fryer)
- Shroom fried rice (wok items eaten without issue in a later visit when the fryer was contaminated)
- Broccoli rabe (mentioned as a dish that could be prepared specially for GF diners)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business data indicate it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which raises cross-contamination concerns in a high-gluten kitchen environment.
- A recent account explicitly stated that the fryer became contaminated, limiting safe options to other wok or non-fried items.
- There are conflicting anecdotes about safety, with at least one reviewer stating it is no longer safe for Celiac, while others describe careful menu navigation and GF preparation on request.
