Waku Waku
Waku Waku offers gluten-free soy sauce and some gluten-free menu items (sushi, sashimi) but is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. The official menu does not mark dishes for allergens. Community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree (UK branch) report a separate GF menu on Instagram and knowledgeable staff, but also note inconsistent staff knowledge and no dedicated kitchen. The Melbourne venue's menu pages show no allergen marking. Cross-contamination risk is present in a shared kitchen.
