Super delicious food! They have a gluten free noodle option, and all gluten free sauces are marked. Cross contamination is probably an issue (the glutenful noodles sometimes fall in the rice noodles) but I haven't gotten sick yet. When they come to take your plate you just tell them you have an allergy and they clean off an area and make sure no one touches it except with the dedicated spatula. They also have gluten free soy sauce if you ask your server too. I love the food and I'm glad I was able to eat HuHot still!

I have eaten here many times without getting sick. It is a buffet so there is a chance of cross contamination from the line, particularly around the noodles. Look carefully when you are collecting your noodles or ask the staff and they will grab you a fresh tray from the back to pull from. When you get to the grill, let them know you have an allergy and they will clean the grill for you and divide your food from the rest while cooking. If you communicate tour needs, the staff is always quite helpful!

I do HuHot often!! Always delicious... cooks are always very cautious and keep my food separate with separate utensils
HuHot does not have a gluten free menu but does have an allergen list and a list of gluten free sauces. Ask them to clean a spot on the grill and use different utensils, if necessary.

Love HuHot. All sauces are now gf. They also have one noodle that is gf. They do a great job of cleaning the grill, using separate utensils etc. The problem is the noodles got mixed and there was noodles on the sauces limiting what I could use on my food.
I loved huhot before celiac so thought I would give it a chance based on reviews. They were great about "cleaning" the grill, however became ill the next day. Not sure how they can prevent cross contamination with just a scraping of the grill.
No
Gave us a nutritional information page, were very careful cooking on the grill. The manager even said if we needed it, they would pull our ingredients from the back to avoid cross contamination!

They mark your allergies by giving you purple bowls so they stand out for the chefs. I usually stick to just the oils but I believe the sauces are all safe. They clean the grill when they see there's an allergy and they use separate tongs for your food. I've never had a reaction here or left hungry! They will grab rice noodles or toppings from the back if you want!

This place is absolutely AMAZING with gluten free! While most other buffet style restaurants can become cross contaminated very easily, the manager had me go through and write down what I wanted, and prepared it with new containers of food in the back! ALL of their sauces are gf which made me feel so much better. He then alerted the grillers that there was an allergy. He made sure they cleaned the grill super well TWICE. The then used spatulas to block off a section of the grill for my food so no one else’s food would ever get close. They completely changed utensils and most importantly, I did not get sick! They even offered to do it all again if I was still hungry since it was a buffet!

Had good food, was given a ‘special bow’ to signal food allergy, crew took care to clean grill before cooking my food and used clean utensils.

Unfortunately they must’ve changed their sauces. They used to all be gluten free but now only about 5 are. They still section off your meal on the grill and use new utensils when preparing!

I’ve been here a few times and always love it! Ask for an allergy bowl and they’ll give you a special yellow bowl to fill with your desired ingredients. You can choose whatever you like and everything is that is gf marked. Sometimes it’s marked with a “G” which confused me at first, but means gluten free. They also have recipe cards at the beginning of the line including a few gf recipes you can try!
The employees are very knowledgeable about allergies and I never have to ask them to clean anything. They see my yellow bowl and immediately clean and section off the grill so my food does not come into contact with anything else on the grill.
