Great GF range and lots of sauces to choose from. Low cross contamination risk when cooking bbq meats yourself too! Lots of fun and great value too (so much food!). Haven't had this kind of food in ages, so I loved it!
Absolutely fantastic experience. Menu clearly marked, staff knowledgeable- and willing to ask the kitchen if unsure about anything. My dad and I shared the Meat Lover's course, and my mom got the Miso Butter Salmon (I tried it, it was yummy) with a side of zucchini. The quality of all the food was outstanding, and everything I ate was absolutely delicious. All the BBQ items in the Meat Lover's course are gf (and so incredibly tasty), the dessert is s'mores so the graham crackers are a no go- but the chocolate and marshmallow are both okay to eat. The starters in the meat lovers course are mostly safe- salad, miso soup, rice, edamame are all safe and delicious, and if you request the gyu sushi to be gf then they'll leave the soy sauce off (or on the side in a bowl for non gf family members to still enjoy). So glad I asked if that one could be gf because it was deLICIOUS. only starter in the meat lover's course that can't be gf is the Japanese chicken karaage, as it is fried chicken. I got green tea and strawberry (I think? Might've been raspberry) mochi for dessert, it was tasty- but the real highlight of the meal was the meat. 10/10 will be returning again!!! ...on very special occasions as it is expensive, but totally worth it!
After searching endlessly for a J/K BBQ place in the DMV, we came across Gyu Kaku and it was well worth our endless search! The menu is labeled and the staff were highly aware of gluten free, which sauces/marinades were safe and which were not. We got the package for four people and only one of the 8 or so meats were not GF, so we cooked that one last with no problem. The sides were divine and they even had two dessert options that were GF, so I got some seasonal mochi. The experience is a bit pricy, but well worth it to feel safe and enjoy something new!

Such a fun experience! We were informed that all meats and their marinades are gluten free and the sauces at the table are as well. The menu is marked with a ton of gluten free options!
We had the value dinner with 6-7 meats, veggies, soup and salad. The food was delicious and I didn’t have a reaction. Highly recommend going!
Amazing gluten free option. The staff is very knowledgeable and the food is delicious!
We have been here two times and had great experiences both times. The servers double checked both times to make sure our orders were gluten free. They were very careful. The menu was mostly gluten free. Lots of great options.
Amazing, thought I would never have shared BBQ again before this place...no issues, all the marinades are GF. Delightful atmosphere and pretty reasonable prices
If you’ve been missing out on marinated meat in Korean BBQ, this is the place you can have all you can eat gluten free beef of different cuts! I would say some Korean BBQ still has better quality meats but this one definitely hits the spot if you are craving for all you can eat BBQ.

My husband and I stick to an all gf meat option, Meat Lovers when we come here. I get just white rice and swap out some of the non-gf sides for gf ones like kimchi or shishito peppers. I have been here twice and always leave happy, even better, I don't get sick.
Just like the gyu kaku in vancouver, they were great with my gluten allergy. Lots of gf marinades and sauces, lots of options, but not everything is GF. Menu is listed with gf, though! Super yummy and fun experience.
A vast majority of the menu is surprisingly gluten free! Staff was knowledgeable and friendly!
Japanese style BBQ with a grated grill over flames. Keep GF items to a specific section of the grill or keep grill gluten free. Menu is clearly marked and the staff were relatively knowledgable. Since you cook your own food there isn't as big of a risk of CC. ALL sauces available at the table were GF which was super exciting! Their premium sauce on the menu is also safe for us. They also had GF & Vegan Bibimbap and mochi!! Yay!
Most of their marinades and sauces are gluten free. The food is very yummy. I’ve eaten here several times and have never had a problem.
