They wouldn't take ingredients from the back for me, so even though the grill was clean and they used clean cooking utensils, I wasn't able to eat due to the clear cross contamination on the buffet line -- even during an off time. Might have just been the staff working at the time. But, I don't plan on going to another Huhot. Man, it sucks to go to a restaurant with a group and not be able to eat.

Be sure to tell them you have allergies, so they can clean a space on the grill and put up separators… best during off peak.
We love this place! We have never had any problems. Be sure to request the gf soy sauce. Once you alert the staff, they will accommodate any allergy...friendly, great food! Perfect for my growing boy, all you can eat. The Pad Thai noodles (only) and all of the sauces are gf.

Mongolian style, pick your mix of noodles, meat, veg and sauce and the fry it up on a big plate. Sauces and noodles are labeled so not hard to put together a GF dish. Cross-contamination may be an issue because it is all cooked on the same surface, but I didn’t have any problems.

HuHot does not have a gluten free menu but does have an allergen list and a list of gluten free sauces. Ask them to clean a spot on the grill and use different utensils, if necessary.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed their food. Have had it several times now, and even with takeout I never got sick from it! So many options to customize your dish with, and you get a very large portion for your money when they deliver. I wasn’t sure at first because it was a chain and buffet style, but it’s given me a chance to eat Asian style food again and I’m happy.

Fresh, delicious, and knowledgeable about dietary needs including celiac. They have signs on the gf buffet items and a system for signaling the cooks, who then clean an area of the grill right in front of you and section your food off from everything else.

They mark your allergies by giving you purple bowls so they stand out for the chefs. I usually stick to just the oils but I believe the sauces are all safe. They clean the grill when they see there's an allergy and they use separate tongs for your food. I've never had a reaction here or left hungry! They will grab rice noodles or toppings from the back if you want!

This place is absolutely AMAZING with gluten free! While most other buffet style restaurants can become cross contaminated very easily, the manager had me go through and write down what I wanted, and prepared it with new containers of food in the back! ALL of their sauces are gf which made me feel so much better. He then alerted the grillers that there was an allergy. He made sure they cleaned the grill super well TWICE. The then used spatulas to block off a section of the grill for my food so no one else’s food would ever get close. They completely changed utensils and most importantly, I did not get sick! They even offered to do it all again if I was still hungry since it was a buffet!

Had good food, was given a ‘special bow’ to signal food allergy, crew took care to clean grill before cooking my food and used clean utensils.

Unfortunately they must’ve changed their sauces. They used to all be gluten free but now only about 5 are. They still section off your meal on the grill and use new utensils when preparing!

I’ve been here a few times and always love it! Ask for an allergy bowl and they’ll give you a special yellow bowl to fill with your desired ingredients. You can choose whatever you like and everything is that is gf marked. Sometimes it’s marked with a “G” which confused me at first, but means gluten free. They also have recipe cards at the beginning of the line including a few gf recipes you can try!
The employees are very knowledgeable about allergies and I never have to ask them to clean anything. They see my yellow bowl and immediately clean and section off the grill so my food does not come into contact with anything else on the grill.
