If you are sensitive to cross contamination, do not go here. The grill is cleaned for people with allergies but not with soap, just with a brush and some water - lots of gluten left behind especially as they constantly coat the grill in soy sauce.
The buffet where you choose your food is so cross-contaminated with every gluten free option being next to a gluten ingredient and you can see visible chunks of noodles and other gluten ingredients in the supposedly gluten free ingredients.
If you have an intolerance, you could definitely swing it! If you have celiac or a severe allergy, I would say stay away for your own safety.

They tried hard but it takes a while. If you're going to get more than one bowl of food (which is sort of the point), expect to take a good amount longer than the others in your party because the chef cleans the grill laboriously every time you go through.
Lots of options. 98% of sauces are GF. Waitress was well educated in GF. Cooks cleaned the grill

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'm absolutely impressed with the care and effort they took to make sure the grill was clean and safe for me!!! I will definitely be back!!!! PS be sure to bring dollars to tip the grill guys who make this effort!

the restaurant does its darnedest to accommodate celiac patients. you do have to tell your server that you have celiac! also the fish is next to the nongluten free noodles... you can ask the line attendant for safe fish or any product. all the sauces are safe. you can also watch the cook scrub the cook surface to bare metal, set up barriers and use new spatulas just for you. I caught 1 cook messing up, and he apologized and we started over. I eat they at least 3 times a month!

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.
