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.

Staff is knowledgeable/can walk you through the process. Immediately asked the table if there were any allergies. Entire menu is clearly marked with GF options. All bbq sauces are delicious and gluten free. Plenty of options and 100% safe/clean if everyone in your group orders gluten free items for the grill

Waiters were knowledgeable about gluten free offerings, and offered gluten-free alternatives to the soup when we ordered a combo feast.

Amazing Japanese BBQ! Nearly all sauces are GF! As long as your entire party is okay with only ordering the GF meats/veggies (nearly all options), the grill won’t be cross contaminated. Staff isn’t always super knowledgeable but the menu is clearly marked and basically all sauces are GF so there’s little risk of a mistake. So much fun to be able to participate in a grill-it-yourself as most Korean bbq places aren’t very Gf-friendly.

Great spot if you have a gluten allergy! Lots of meats and dishes on the menu marked as gluten free, even the sauces are gluten free so you’ll get all the flavor! You will have a designated grill at your table to cook your food, so just be aware if ordering other non-gluten free dishes :)

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!
