Review of Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

I was really excited to try this place after the great reviews from celiacs. It was concerning though, as soon as we got there. I explained my celiac disease to our (very young) waiter who had no idea what gluten is. I asked him to get the manager - she came over and said, oh, don’t worry - we can leave the sesame seeds off of everything. I had to explain that sesame seeds are not gluten. It’s wheat, rye and barley. Should have left then but she assured me almost everything was GF and they would be careful.

First time I’ve gotten CC at a restaurant this year. Sick all night, you know the drill. Needless to say, I will not be going back and recommend you proceed with caution here.
