While they did give me a bowl to designate me as gluten free, and kept a portion of the flat top grill sectioned off, i don't know if it had been cleaned off. Secondly, while there i gluten free sauces, they are kept right next to non GF sauces, which with very little effort, splash into each other with no barrier to prevent that from happening. Major cross contamination.

The food was good for those that can handle gluten .

I have Celiac and was very unsure about eating here. They give you a special bowl and alert the grill;who then cleans a special spot for when you're ready. They did an amazing job! Things were marked as far as sauces so I knew what was safe for me, but they do have an allergy menu for reference. Cross contamination is possible on the buffet(where u get your ingredients), im super sensitive and did not leave sick! We will definitely go back. Thanks for accommodating people with diet restrictions it really means alot to us when you really show great care and concern when we eat at you're establishment.

Staff was not helpful at all when I asked about GF options and what I should avoid. Lots of cross contamination, I got very sick after.

The sauces are most likely cross contaminated because when you scoop sauce with a ladle, it drips in all of the sauces on the way to your bowl. The gf sauces are not kept away from the others, unfortunately.

I get glutened everytime I am here. The restaurant is buffet style and full of cross contamination. I have soy allergies too and just can't find something to eat here that's safe. However, my non celiac family members love this restaurant and go all the time without me!

Awesome place. They give you a bowl in a specific color. You fill it with all of your favorite veggies and meats. Then Add sauce. All signature sauces are GF. Then they cook it right in front of you. Before cooking, they thoroughly clean the grill and then they section it off with your food only. They use clean utensils that is used only with your food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They provide a different colored bowl for your allergy, that way when the cooks see the bowl in line they clean the grill off which includes sanding it down, rinsing twice, scraping, and rinsing again. Once that’s done they take a pair of the giant spatulas and section off your area so no splatter or other food gets in yours, AND the other cooks at the grill know to exercise caution near it. They also never let the spatulas they use to cook your food with tough the grill, they rest them on a clean plate. No cross contamination here! Appleton is super careful compared to the other HuHots I’ve been to, (st.paul in particular) they even put the rice noodles away from the wheat containing noodles so that you can have those contamination free of the other noodles!

The good, the staff was knowledgeable about allergies and cross contamination. Brought menu with allergens. They have gluten free soy sauce, and can bring rice. They clean the area pretty thoroughly before cooking food. Use different clean utensils. Food was decent. The bad, the rice noodles are right next to the wheat noodles. I saw some wheat noodles end up in the rice noodles. The sauces are all right next to each other, so there is a high chance of contamination. Even though they clean the grill , they are cooking next to other foods that are splattering.

You receive a different color bowl that identifies you as an allergy. They also notify the griller to clean an area of the grill for you. They use different spatulas and they're very careful about cross-contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

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.
