Review


The staff was very willing to help ensure the food was gluten free. However, there was some confusion regarding the poke bowl. Although the bowl was offered as a gluten free option, the wakame (seaweed salad) that is used in the poke bowl (both as its own topping and as part of the creamy poke mix) is not gluten free. It is sold as a separate item in a glass jar in the refrigerator and lists wheat as an ingredient! Fortunately we noticed this before my celiac wife ate her poke bowl. They were able to make her a new custom bowl with the rest of the poke bowl ingredients and grilled salmon instead and everything turned out fine. Just a reminder to always be vigilant.
