I was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant was able and willing to prepare bibimbap without soy sauce (soy allergy) in addition to being gluten free (choice of chicken or tofu protein). They also had no problem leaving the egg off, as I am intolerant to egg as well. I will order from here again and add my own sauces (coconut aminos and sriracha) for flavor considering I can’t eat the soy-based sauces. I have Celiac and am very sensitive but had no symptoms after eating here.

Excellent! I’m not sure I’ve ever found a Korean restaurant with gf options before! Everything was delicious! I had the bibimbap and a house made soda! Lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well

I had never had authentic Korean food, as many of the restaurants I’ve found don’t offer gluten free selections. This place is a gem! The food and service was both fantastic.

The gluten free options are fairly respectable here and clearly marked on the menu. They do marinate their galbi in sauce that is not gf, so that is not an option. The food is certainly authentic Korean and a good stop for those who appreciate dolsat bipimbop or kimchi jigae. I ate kimchi jigae, a side of pork (unmarinated) and I had no issues.
