Flat Top Grill

My friend took us here and I didn’t get sick at all—but I felt quite nervous. You make your own bowls “salad bar/buffet” style which is a recipe for cross-contamination. (And nothing is labeled for gluten at the bar or on the physical menu either). When they stir-fried my ingredients I had a small allergen stick that directed them to cook it on a clean, separate surface and I’m sure that’s what happened. The real concern is the buffet setup.

Even the manager couldn't tell me what protocol they had in place to try and prevent cross contamination, and told me it wasn't safe for me to eat there. Everything was made from a buffet, and ingredients were spilled and splashed everywhere. Would not recommend.

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

I ordered the make your own bowl where you basically add ingredients to your bowl from a buffet line of ingredients. After that, if you want proteins or meats, they add an allergy tag and cook that in a separate area. I have celiac and feel pretty safe.

Staff was knowledgeable about what had gluten. Only one sauce contains wheat supposedly. Had a way to mark your order so it was made in a separate clean spot. Rice noodles and white rice available plusses of meats and veggies.

This was a great place for some CYO stir fry! There’s a chance of cross contamination since the toppings are a buffet-style kind of thing. However, they are aware of many allergies and have things labeled (on the labels by the buffet as well as on the blackboards above the buffet). There are only a few sauces GF but other than that it’s a great place to go. They cook your stir fry in your own pan as long as you use the white stick to note that there’s an allergy!

I watched the staff filling the vegetables, fill the wheat noodles with his (gloved) hands and then fill the rice noodles also with his hands (same gloves) then move on to the vegetables without changing gloves. I indicated I had an allergy, didn’t put the ‘blue’ stick and still got the roti bread. Glasses came dirty, twice. They are careless in food handling and limited in sauces (only 1 available) I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who is ultra sensitive to gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

Good simple food, but I wish there were more sauce options.

Disappointed went for dinner they had no un-marinated meat, signs for which sauces were gluten free were not clearly labeled, staff was not helpful. This was the most disappointing location so by far

Celiac friendly?

No

They list which sauces are gluten free but it's a buffet-like deal. If you're just someone trying to eat gluten free, this might be OK but celiacs are usually told to avoid such things due to the high potential for cross contamination.

My first time, waitpeople were very helpful. They made me feel very comfortable. Excellent food!!!

Everything marked if GF or not Separate prep area for food allergies

I have eaten here quite a few times and had it go just fine. Whoever the male manager is with the ponytail really dropped the ball. He was combative and argumentative when we asked why there was no gluten free teriyaki anymore. At which point he told us the teriyaki is gluten free. It was not labeled that way and other things are specifically labelled gluten free. As I ate my food, I stumbled across things that I did not put into my bowl, which means it was cooked on the main grill with the rest of the things - bread, sauces, noodles. I did mark it with an allergy stick so it must have been ignored. This used to be a decently safe place for me, not any more.

I’ve always had a good experience the many times I’ve come here. They have an allergy stick you can put in to let them know to take precaution in cooking your food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They aren’t careful, even though they have separate “allergen skillets”. What they don’t tell you is that they don’t clean the allergen skillets between uses. So unless your allergen is the same as the person before you it is absolutely not safe. My “cooked separately in an allergen skillet” meal came out with someone else’s ingredients that were left over in the cooking surface. Unsafe for Celiac

Celiac friendly?

No
