Per-allergen evidence
This restaurant claims to use no wheat at all in its kitchen, with a 100% gluten-free batter, soy sauce, and dipping broth. All menu items are marked 'Gluten Free'. However, they serve both regular and gluten-free beer (using different glasses), so there is gluten present on the premises. No independent gluten-free accreditation or verification of cross-contact procedures is available. Dine with confidence but confirm your specific needs with staff, especially regarding beverages.
