As of 3/20/24 they have misleading information on their website. The bone in wings are no longer gluten free, only the boneless are and they are in a shared frier...so if you don't do shared friers, skip this place. They said they made an announcement on social media and the website needs updating. I'm so lucky I verified what was gf and what wasn't before eating. I could have gotten so sick. The sides are a much sweeter version of Korean...they are sweet kimchi vs the normally quite spicy. They did verify that the cold sides are still gf. All in all I found this place very underwhelming and expensive. If you want great authentic Korean, keep looking. Also, if you do eat there...be sure to double check the gf offerings have not changed.

Advertised online as GF but GF items not marked on menu. Cashier had a list of items that were GF, some were hand written. She also told me the seasonal wing sauce was GF but when listing ingredients included soy sauce. I got the boneless wings with BBQ rub, potato salad, and brussel sprouts (also ordered rice for my 3rd side and never received it). Wings tasted good, potato salad was okay, I didn’t like the brussel sprouts, and I got sick. Probably won’t be back here.
