ALL sauces are NOT GF any more. Just a few and they are labeled. Basically sweet and sour and the broths are your only options. Extra cautious during cooking and very attentive.

Went there for lunch today my server let me know that they will clean the grill to cook my food separately. The grill master spent quite a few minutes cleaning the grill making sure it was free from food particles. Then he placed four spatulas on each side of my food and he lifted my Food off the grill instead of sliding it to the end. I was very impressed with restaurant and staff was amazing.

They went to great care to avoid cross contamination, but my very sensitive daughter still reacted. For a food allergy they will scrape and wipe grill, put up dividers, and get food from the back for the grill.

Great food, and they were so careful to clean the grill when I asked for an 'allergy scrape'. All the sauces are gluten free, and plenty of foods are, too. Delish!

My wife and four kids all have dairy and gluten allergies. All of their sauces are gluten free and most of their menu (meats/vegetables) are as well. You'll only need to avoid the straight soy sauce on the table and the appetizers.

The wait staff was kind enough to explain all of the menu options and the cooks took extra time to clean the cooking surface before using. Their cleaning included two times over with the scraper and then once with steel wool. They annexed the surface physically from the other foods and used clean utensils. The manager has grandchildren with allergies and was supervising the process for us. We will return.

HuHot's is only as gluten free as the poorly trained staff and manager feels like being each day.

Food is great, and the experience is neat too. The men on the grill clean, wipe down, and use clean utensils for allergies. So they are really trying! HOWEVER, the setup of the bar, where you choose the uncooked food and sauces, has the GF foods and the non-GF foods right next to each other... meaning easy cross-contamination. They are trying, so maybe a simple letter to them asking to rearrange the foods would help:)

Cooks are very accommodating and never complain about cleaning the grill for my gf family of 5. They are always willing to bring us the fresh rice noodles from the back to reduce cross contamination. Always delish and my kids favorite place to eat.

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.
