Review of Spring Shabu-Shabu

I just ate here and absolutely loved it. I’ve wanted to try hotpot for years and heard about this place and decided to take the leap. My partner is vegetarian and he was also thrilled to try this place knowing they had personal pots for everyone.

When we got there, we scanned the QR code to see the menu. The menu labels one of the broth options as gluten free option, so I ordered that and some fresh chicken. While we waited for the broth and meat, we went up to the bar and grabbed the other odds-and-ends to put into the broth. All of the veggies are in a space that feels safe for celiacs. I got lots of veggies, an egg, and some tofu, but decided against the noodles because I just wasn’t sure - those and the sauces are not labeled with allergen info, but I wasn’t set on getting those anyway.

The meal was delicious. Afterwards, I asked if the green tea ice cream was gluten free. My waitress said she felt pretty confident that it was but checked with her manager anyway. Her manager checked the ingredients and said there were no gluten ingredients but he actually called the manufacturer to double check and within minutes, I had a very confident yes from the waitress. Very good end of the meal.

I will edit this if I happen to get sick, but I was very satisfied with my experience and can’t wait to go back!
