No gf bread or particularly tasty/filling/satisfying options. Generally poor knowledge of gluten free handling and possibilities (they proposed the chicken wings, but I had to ask if they were breaded, and they were). Just stick to the meat.

Ultimately safe and I didn’t get sick (I’m celiac) but the service was slightly worrisome from a safety perspective. It started when I asked the server about gluten free options.
I was told (as the previous review indicated) that there were only three items on the menu with gluten: two meats and the bread. That was encouraging until I noticed other menu items with obvious gluten, such as wheat noddles or dumplings.
Subsequent questions to different servers about what was gluten free resulted in different answers. For example, the server who brought the banchan (small plates which come with the meal) told me that they were not gluten free and I couldn’t have any of them. So my food options were narrowing considerably from when I first asked and was told that only three items in the menu had gluten.
Similarly, I asked whether their soy sauce had wheat in it or not and was told it did not. But then they brought me a different-looking bowl of soy sauce than others at the table. Due to the possibility of cross contamination in the kitchen (ever tried to get soy sauce entirely out of a wok?), I think it’s important to know whether they exclusively use gluten free tamari or not. I am still uncertain.
The meal ended with a desert, which was gluten free: except they forgot to leave out the pocky/pretzels. They were apologetic but I had to catch it.
So in the end, I’d feel relatively safe eating there as long as I stuck to just the grilled meat and rice, and was very careful about anything else. On the other hand, the meal was both delicious and an experience - we had a great time.

Wonderful restaurant, staff very knowledgeable! There are only 2 items on their entire menu that are not gluten-free. We ordered chicken bulgogi (not GF) cooked separately in the kitchen and everything else we cooked on our table grill without any worry of cross contamination. They even have GF soy sauce. Food was delicious and we even had some to take home. Our daughter (with Celiac) had no reaction and was so excited to have food she could eat without worry. A bit pricey, but worth it!
