Love this place. So glad it’s a chain. I did not have to worry about cooking meat with gluten containing items. My party ordered all gf meats (so no chicken teriyaki) and the sauces on the table were all gf.

Almost all of the bbq menu is gluten free including the sauces. Anything fried is not gf and they do not have a dedicated fryer. But the bbq is really what you come for anyway. The server was knowledgeable and answered all questions and even went to double check with the chef on their statements. Was a great meal and felt completely safe. My son who is celiac had no reaction and loved his garlic fried rice.

Probably one of the best places I've been to in the past 2 years. They go out of the way to prepare as much as possible gluten free, clearly marked and delicious. Would go back every time I come to HI

We explicitly told the server of my celiac gluten allergy and he assured me that all the sauces and marinades were gluten free. He then brought soup and salad to the table, which I proceeded to eat, and thought to double check. The manger came over and said that the soup, salad and rice dish I ordered were not gluten free! Apparently we had a “newer” server. Ask for the manager next time you go there to make sure! Other than that, the gluten free food was tasty but unfortunately I got sick.

The menu clearly marks GF items. They also said all marinades and table sauces are GF. They were also good at being able to do plain veggies without butter for our dairy allergy. Our server wasn’t knowledgeable unfortunately but did go check in the kitchen with our questions. The food was delicious. TBD if it’s celiac friendly and if I get sick from any kind of cross contamination.

Great Japanese BBQ. The sauces are all GF on the meats and items are labeled in the menu. You cook at your table therefore less risk of cross contamination.

Le service était impeccable, les serveurs étaient au courant des allergènes et se sont assurés que les sauces étaient correctes pour moi. Malheureusement, ce qui est inscrit sans gluten sur le menu ne l’est pas réellement, enfin, c’est ce que la serveuse s’est rendue compte. Les sauces sur la table ne le sont pas n’ont plus. Finalement j’ai pris des viandes avec des sauces d’ail et de basilic (ce que la serveuse m’a assuré qui était sans gluten), et j’ai été malade quand même. Dommage ://

A fun place to go where you cook your food on a little grill in the table. Lots on GF options that are labeled on the menu. We went for the well priced happy hour. Food and service were great!

Went here for a pre wedding event. The menu is already marked gluten free. All the sauces and marinades are gluten-free except the Teriyaki (this is noted on the outdoor sign before enterering)

Spring rolls, dumplings, seaweed salad and a few other things are not safe to eat.

The staff was very happy to answer any and all questions and point it out on the menu.

Just make sure whoever you cook with are on the same level because you will share a cooker thing.

It was lovely!!! All of their sauces are gluten free. Obviously you share a grill for cooking the meat, but that’s on making sure that the people you are with don’t order glutenous stuff, which is VERY easy here. Will be going back for sure!!!
