Has GF items clearly marked and all marinades are gluten free. Wait staff is really knowledgeable and understanding of food allergies.

I eat here about once a month and it is by far my favorite place to eat out. GF items are clearly marked, and most of the staff remembers me and my dietary restriction now. Definitely make sure to double check menu items for their label since it’s a big menu. I highly recommend the vegetable bibimbap, the mochi ice cream and pretty much any meat. The only non gf sauce is the teriyaki. Everything is so delicious.

Surprisingly very safe restaurant!! Almost all the marinades are gluten free and they have several signs about how they did that recently so everyone could enjoy the food. A good chunk of appetizers are also GF. Menu is very clearly labeled. I felt completely fine after eating here and will be back!

I have been to several Korean BBQ restaurants and this one was disappointing. To start, the server was training a new server and both were very new and not well informed. The “experienced” server did not know the menu well and appeared very confused. The server did not have any knowledge about gluten free safety or foods. We went with 5 people and went with the 4 person meal. This does not include rice or vegetables which is a first at a BBQ. The salad and kimchi were good which are gluten free. I was afraid to eat here. Meat was thin cut and small. Over priced for what you get. This is not your traditional Korean BBQ. We will not go back.

Menu is clearly labeled with what is gluten free. Almost every marinade/meat is gluten free which is great. A lot of the appetizers aren't gf, but if you're mostly going for the meats then it isn't a big deal. It's nice that they can change out the grates easily if something does get cross contaminated (but only a risk if you're ordering non gf marinades as well). Waiter was knowledgeable and knew which things were gf. I felt safe eating here.
