What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Brown rice (explicitly noted as GF in at least one report)
- Gluten-free table sauces
- Gluten-free ice cream
- Gluten-free mochi (mentioned in at least one account)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk can arise when non-GF items are cooked on shared grills or when non-GF components are served alongside GF options. Several patrons emphasized the importance of:
- Asking staff to confirm GF status and, if possible, using a clean grill for GF orders.
- Being aware that not every sauce or marinade is guaranteed GF—some items may still contain gluten.
- Noting that a few isolated incidents involved miscommunication or non-GF elements being introduced during the meal.
- The overall pattern, however, shows proactive measures (menu labeling, staff kitchen checks, grill swapping) that reduce risk when followed carefully.
