Food is terrific. Been there 3 times but some of the reviews have troubled me. I have not gotten sick here but obviously the naan bread and wraps are not gluten free.

I was so excited to find this place, but now so disappointed after having a pretty severe reaction. I had the Korean bowl. I was told it was all gluten free. Either there is a cross contamination or maybe something in the sauce? Wondering if they use soy sauce? I still plan to call and ask but haven’t had time during their open hours.

I'm really bummed. This place was really special to me because it was the only place I could go to where I knew I could order almost anything (but the tuna due to external cross contact). They recently added naan to the line. I watched someone contaminate the whole line by touching individual tongs to the naan then place them back in the various ingredients. I asked the manager about this and she said "there is nothing I can do about it, everything on this half is contaminated ". That basically leaves maybe the soup as safe? Based on the response I wouldn't feel safe eating anything at this point after observing their technique. The gluten has been placed dead center in the line and the new employees don't seem to understand. When they first opened everyone seemed really informed and considerate. Super disappointed.

Staff is extremely knowledgeable, the only thing that doesn’t come from a dedicated gluten free facility is the tuna. Tons of delicious, healthy options!

I had read a review for a different location that said all ingredients were gluten free except the tortillas, and as soon as I asked the employee serving me to clarify what I’d read, they confirmed that it was the case. I wish they’d advertise as such more clearly on their website, but I was happy with the confidence and knowledge of the employee who served me. The tortillas were wrapped in plastic and kept separate from all of the other ingredients. I did not get glutened, I would come back again and feel safe eating here!

Felt very safe here. I told them I have celiac and everyone on the assembly line immediately washed their hands and changed gloves. Also, they keep the bread and tortillas (the only gluten) separate from the rest of their food!

A good place for fast casual gluten free and healthy food. Every topping is gluten free (including the tortilla strips) and the only thing that isn't is the wraps and naan bread. They change gloves when being told it's an allergy. A great variety of menu items and the food I got was delicious!

They seemed to known what was gluten free but the "line" made me a little uneasy. The food was good and I didn't get sick so that was good. But they don't change gloves between meals and everything is not gluten free. They are lots of selections of GF meals to choose from! My meal was delicious! I do think they're is a chance of cross contaminated. Being able to watch my food being made have a bit of comfort. I doubt I would do a pick up order. Everyone was nice and very helpful. It was my first visit.

This is a go-to for me. When you tell them you have celiac they change gloves (everyone on the line), and sometimes the same person will take your bowl down the whole line themselves. The only things I think on the menu with gluten are the wraps or naan bread. Have eaten here many times and never gotten sick. Honestly surprised there aren’t more recent reviews on here. It’s sometimes a little slow for a set up where you order at the counter and they build it in front of you, but I don’t mind since the quality and freshness of the food is great and healthy, and they always seem knowledgeable about gluten protocol.
