Review of Sapporo Restaurant

Many ingredients that have easily obtainable GF alternatives they have not bothered to acquire (Kimchi, soy) and therefore even the things that are listed on the menu as GF are further limited (you cannot get beef bibimbop because of the soy they use in all of their beef dishes). I spoke with the owner because I wanted to inquire as to what part of what I ordered was not possible to have GF (since the menu says GF available) and even after his server called him over to answer my questions he opted for cleaning the table next to mine first, then came over to lecture me about how I had plenty of other options … just not the things I ordered that were clearly marked as GF versions available. I asked politely why they hadn’t switched to GF soy since it’s easily available and the majority of Korean dishes on the menu involve soy in one way or another. He cut me off and said he wasn’t going to argue with me.

It wasn’t until after he left the table that my husband reminded me that last time we got takeout from here I had a bad reaction (thanks hon) and I’m pretty sure I ordered the “gluten free bibimbop with beef” so that would explain it! never again. This place is not safe nor do they care to be.
