What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats and marinades that are gluten-free (most marinades are GF; one noted exception is certain teriyaki marinades).
- Table sauces and dipping sauces that are gluten-free.
- Menu items clearly labeled as GF, with staff able to indicate which items are safe.
- Brown rice has been identified as GF in at least one instance; verify current preparation if you’re avoiding gluten completely.
- Vegetables and other non-marinated components that are part of GF selections.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination remains a theoretical risk if non-GF items are prepared on shared grills.
- Some diners have reported incidents where a server or kitchen communication did not fully align with GF needs; always double-check with the staff and consider requesting a clean or swapped grill for your table.
- A few reviews mention specific items (e.g., certain marinades or sides) that are not GF, so it’s important to verify each component of a chosen course.
