HuHot

I am celiac and have had a bad experience here in the past. However, tonight I let them know what I needed and they were fantastic. They cleaned a spot on the grill and had clean utensils that were only used on my food. They also put up a utensil barrier around my food while it was cooking to keep cc out. It’s now much later and I feel good. I would eat here again.

We had a reaction after eating at this HuHot. Had to be cross contamination of some kind. Staff was not as knowledgeable as our local Cedar Falls HuHot.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have gotten sick every single time.

Celiac friendly?

No

HuHot has NO sauces that are gf! My family have tried it twice, with them insisting that what they were making us was gluten free! We ordered different dishes and all of us were ill! No way is it safe!

Celiac friendly?

No

Not my first choice to eat out but went with co-workers. Very clean and popular. I selected exactly what I wanted and they had all items listed by allergies. I told the cook I was gluten intolerant and he took extra care cleaning the grill, using new utensils and putting a barrier around my cooking food so that there was no cross contamination. Best part I got to enjoy my dinner and not get sick. I’d give it 5 stars if you like Hohhot

Celiac friendly?

Yes

they were great. my husband was up with another alerted and they didn't cross between them.

While HuHot tries and has gluten free sauces, I saw customers let their ladles touch their noodles and saw noodles dip into sauces. I ended up eating a bowl of rice. As long as they have sauces in open containers it can't be risked. A shame, because I loved the place when I could still eat gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great service and staff was excellent with prepping the grill. They left space next to my dish so there was no cross contamination. Never had a bad experience at a Hu Hots.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Grill staff kindly cleaned the grill and sectioned off a portion for my food. Very friendly and accommodating staff. All sauce options are gluten free as of my visit.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good food& very careful about cross contamination. Tell the cook you need it gluten free & they know exactly what to do.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I really enjoyed the food they serve here but there is a high risk for cross contamination simply due to it being a buffet. however the manager did tell me that that if necessary they can get sauces from the back that for sure have not been contaminated. food was great!

My Celiac wife loves the varied fresh meats & vegetables. She only had one incident... a cook, non-English speaking did not understand about the cleaning the grill. The manager took care of it! Good food.

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!

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.
