Chef and cashier were awesome while I was ordering! Definitely double check while ordering, but they made sure my shrimp were cooked in separate pan and clarified what I could and could not have. Cashier was super knowledgeable and said her cousin had celiac so she was very aware. Also loved that they used sustainable seafood! Awesome place for lunch and my non celiac boyfriend gave his poke bowl a double thumbs up. Great outdoor seating, a perfect spot for lunch!

Good seafood in a quick eats style restaurant. The menu is labeled but not very trustworthy. For example, the Korean tacos are listed as being gf if you order a corn tortilla, but one of the cooks let me know the sauce on them is in fact not gf. With that said, the cooking staff is very knowledgeable of ingredients and food prep so that things can be made safely. Ended up having the shrimp tacos on a corn tortilla and no chips, and it was tasty!

Items on their menu are labeled if they are or can be modified to be GF. I ordered the Korean Salmon tacos on corn tortillas. I mentioned I had celiac and he said they could be prepared safely. After we ordered one of the other employees came out to ask me about the side of chips the tacos come with. They are corn tortillas but fried in the same oil as other non-GF foods. I appreciate the attention to detail! I skipped the chips and she gave me extra coleslaw on the side. I’m still dreaming about those tacos… they were amazing!!! Can’t wait to go back.
