What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats and marinades: frequently described as gluten-free.
- Table sauces and marinades: commonly gluten-free and often explicitly labeled as GF.
- Menu labeling: the menu is widely reported to mark GF options, aiding safe selection.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists in shared grill environments if non-GF items are cooked alongside GF items, though several reports indicate grills are swapped or cleaned between groups to mitigate this.
- Not all items are guaranteed GF; teriyaki marinades and certain sides can be non-GF depending on preparation.
- There have been isolated negative experiences tied to miscommunication or handling of GF items, including a case where a server indicated something was GF but the kitchen confirmed it was not, leading to illness. While rare, these highlight the value of asking questions and requesting a fresh grill or clean surfaces when in doubt.
