The guy taking my order seemed to have good understanding of allergies/risks and there was a button on the register to add an allergy warning to the order ticket which was cool. The guy who then went to make my bowl had no allergy awareness and had to be told by other staff how to make it separate from the line. I also asked for no dressing as their website says all the dressings may contain gluten but he still put some dressing in the bowl. They stick their hands into the lettuce and other toppings instead of using tongs/utensils which increases cross contamination risk substantially. I will not eat here again as it’s too risky.

Healthy, fresh, most of the menu is gf or can be made that way. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the woman who helped us has Celiac, which made me feel super comfortable. My new favorite place in Federal Way!

Lots of choices for rice bowls. Most of their pre-made bowls have pita chips, but just ask them to not add that or build your own. That also have salad rolls and soup. All of their dressings (except 1), and all of their protein (except 1) are gluten free so it's easy to build your own bowl. They even have gluten free falafel! Quick friendly service.

This location and staff are pretty accommodating. I use the allergen information online to determine what to order and ask them to change gloves and use parchment paper when heating up the chicken. I have always felt fine after and the staff recently are very kind and helpful.

Healthy delicious GF food. The staff made me feel like she was 100% aware of Gf meals and prepared mine separately. Lots of GF options and well marked on menu.

We ordered the Goddess Bowl and the Mediterranean Bowl which were adapted to be gluten and dairy free. They prepared our meals in the back to lessen the risk of cross contact.
