Very sad, we went back today for the second time. Ordered only one steak marinade and explained in detail to the server who understood completely, go checked with the kitchen , she said it was safe. 3 plates of the same steak later manager comes out and tells us the server gave us the marinade with gluten. I mean what... And yes I’m feeling it now

Great experience here. Must make reservation. The first question staff ask before taking orders is if you have an allergy. They are very knowledgeable of gluten allergy and items on menu will be marked . Usually I go to bbq spots and can only order meat plain, because majority of the sauces contain wheat. But this restaurant’s sauce and marinades are almost all gluten free. So it was nice to try different marinades instead of just salt and pepper. A side note- the grilling tables I saw and sat at could hold about 4 people, but had a relatively small grill in the center. It’s perfect for 2 people but anymore and you won’t be able to cook fast enough for everyone. Especially if you opted for the all you can eat, there’s a 90 minute time limit. Overall great staff, flavors and good quality meat. An AMAZING spot for gluten free people.

One of my favourite spots! All of their sauces and marinades (apart from the teriyaki marinade) are gluten free and their menu is very clearly labelled. I let them know I have celiac and they took good care of me. I ordered the prime kalbi short rib, premium sirloin, scallops, broccoli, and plain rice. Love this spot and highly recommend. Definitely always let them know about your allergies/celiac so they can avoid cross contamination.

I was hesitant to do the all-you-can-eat option because there’s usually not enough GF stuff—I was happily proven wrong! Also, the other Gyu-Kaku locations have iffy reviews. I enjoyed my meal and did not get sick. They advertise gluten free sauces, which is a great contrast to the plain meats at any Korean bbq places around. My crew was happy to start with only gluten free items on the grill and save the non-gf stuff for when I was full or needed a break. We kept tongs separate and all was good. A couple appetizers are not gluten free, but I ate plenty. Bonus, the grilling area at your table is sunken (like a Solo Stove) so you don’t leave smelling as much like meat as you normally would. Our server was awesome, knowledgeable, and willing to find answers to questions if they weren’t obvious. The green tea ice cream was gluten free so obviously I had to get that too. Tasted better than i was expecting (Same vibes as lavender ice cream). Overall, would definitely recommend. Need a reservation though!
