What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Most poke bowls are gluten-free, according to recent diners.
- All bowls are gluten-free except for sesame soy sauce, which is not GF.
- Musubi are not gluten-free.
- Staff can make substitutions to remove gluten-containing components in bowls.
- Example GF-friendly approach noted by diners includes avoiding gluten-containing sauces and toppings; some bowls (like Hawaiian-style ahi) were cited as safe when prepared with gf modifications.
- The restaurant offers a range of GF-friendly toppings and options, though there isn’t a separate GF menu.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a consideration.
- Gluten-containing sauces (e.g., sesame soy) can render some bowls non-GF if included.
- Some toppings (imitation crab, tempura flakes, eel sauce) have been noted as not GF and would need to be omitted.
- Because there isn’t a separate GF menu, diners should explicitly confirm ingredients and request GF-safe substitutions to minimize risk.
- Overall, the risk can be managed with careful ordering and clear communication with staff.
