Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya

Same info as other reviews. Cross contamination is an issue here. My party ended up eating, I had a drink and ended up eating elsewhere. Wait staff were honest about it and recommended not eating there. Appreciated that!

Celiac friendly?

No

While they do have yam noodles, they prepare them in the same water as the gluten-containing noodles. Pointless if you are a celiac. While it was inconvenient, I was happy the server was knowledgeable enough to steer me clear of eating there. I had a small bowl of white rice and watched the rest of my family eat. My gluten-eating dad loved it! Me--not so much.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not celiac safe. For the fashionably GF, they have GF sweet potato noodles but they prepare them in shared cooking water with the non-GF noodles. I've been in three times now, carefully ordering GF (GF broth, no noodles, only veggies) and have gotten glutened all three times. Such a shame - they've got such potential (and could corner the GF-friendly ramen market!) with just a few common sense food prep tweaks.

Celiac friendly?

No

All broth options have gluten even if you get gf noodles, so no reason to come here.

We were told by servers at the downtown one there was GF options and celiac friendly dishes. But when we went to the Kizuki ramen at the southgate mall in Tukwila, the supervisor informed us that the non gluten-free soy sauce comes pre-mixed in the vegetarian ramen broth and that no ramen options are gluten-free (even the meat ones). The only gluten-free options were three appetizers: edamame, a tuna mayo dish, and a spinach dish.

The wait staff did not know what was gluten free and what was not. The kitchen staff just gave her a card with allergen info... And there were 4 things on the menu that were gluten free such as rice and edemame, not a meal. They have shiratake noodles... But no broths that are gluten free, so you can't actually eat them. NOT a GF restaurant!

Wait staff is very confused about what is gluten free and what’s not. One time I came I had a ramen that’s apparently not gluten free. Luckily, I didn’t react. I had to call over 5 people today to confirm what was gluten free and what wasn’t. Don’t risk it, go to Oiistar in Wicker it’s amazing.
