Review of Juche

1124 Payne Ave, St Paul, MN 55130

Overall Rating

Review


One of the best Korean places to eat Gluten Free in MSP. While not everything is gluten free, the greatest hits of Korean cuisine are available and incredibly delicious. Their chicken wings are CRUNCHY and fried in a dedicated fryer along with their fries which can be swagged out with cheese, kimchi, beef, and more! While many places have GF options that lack texturally, Juche does not compromise, giving full flavor, heat, and crunch to rival anything you’d find in a gluten-full establishment. It even turned me into a kimchi-lover, and I suspect it’ll do the same to you!

Additionally, ownership is on board. The owner is gluten free and very serious about maintaining separation and sanitation to avoid cross-contamination. His passion and expertise put us to ease instantly, and he approached us (1 celiac, and one non-celiac) to help us understand a certain product’s place on the GF spectrum. He was friendly, informed, and happy to help keep us safe.

Juche is a great addition to the MSP GF scene. Lead by an enthusiastic and well-informed owner, this spot will charm you into a seat and send you home eager to come back.
