Gluten free soy sauce can be subbed for regular or other sauces for fried rice, chicken, scallops, steak, etc. They will cook the gf first to keep grill clean. Soup and dressing is not gf. Yum yum sauce is gf. Fun experience.
Stay away. Staff has no idea what is gluten free. Lied to me after I asked MULTIPLE times about the soup being gluten-free. It’s not. Im horrible I’ll and they ruined a good night.
Server was very thorough to be sure what I could and couldn’t have. I was able to order their side order fried rice and of course sushi AMAZING fried rice and sushi - lip smacking

These staff was great. The chef cooked my food first with gf sauce. What a great experience
Awesome food. Can make your food in the back in a dedicated Wok. Or if your whole table agrees to GF soy sauce (which they have on hand) you can have the whole meal made right there in front of you. They also know which dipping sauces are safe (orange one with garlic in it) and that the salad dressing has soy sauce, so so you have to do oil & vinegar instead.

Food is ok; the free pre-meal salads were still icy. Chef came out to ask if we actually had celiac or were folks who just said that but actually don’t like gluten or something. Promised to be dutiful about cleaning beforehand and keeping things separate but didn’t seem confident that everything would be celiac safe.
I’ve only recently been diagnosed, so I’m no expert yet, but they seemed very good at making sure everything I was having was gluten-free. I let them know I couldn’t have gluten when I initially ordered.
Since I ordered a main (which includes several different dishes), the server made my soup without the fried onion (as the fryer wouldn’t be gluten-free) and made my salad without the usual dressing and instead gave me a lemon to drizzle on it. She explained each of these things as she gave them to me.
The chef then used gluten-free soya sauce in order to cook for the whole table, so there wouldn’t be a chance of cross-contamination. The people I was eating with were given sauces that he made sure I was aware I couldn’t try, and instead he gave me some more gluten-free soya sauce I could use to dip food in.
The food was very good, and I’m glad they managed to accommodate my needs so easily.
Super accommodating! They made all of my food first and with gluten free soy sauce. The soup isn’t gluten free so they got me double salad. I got chicken, steak, shrimp, and fried rice and it was all pretty dang delicious. The ice cream was also great. The only issue is that the service for the rest of the party will be slow since your food will be cooked first.
I did have a meal that was questionable. It was very difficult getting answers about gluten in certain things. There is a high level of probability for cross contamination. I would not eat here if you are celiac. As an intolerant person, I am worried I may be sick later. My dinner was lacking flavor due to no seasoning. They have gf soy sauce but just give it to you on the side.
Not a good place to eat if you have celiac disease. They have a gluten free menu but the chef wasn’t aware of cross contamination. I felt really sick after eating there.
