nageunae

Yangsan-ro ·

Nageunae is a dedicated gluten-free restaurant in Seoul, with a chef who previously owned Snack Room. Everything is prepared from scratch, including homemade gluten-free soy sauce and gochujang. A dedicated fryer is in use, and the whole food menu is gluten-free, with only some beers containing gluten. One celiac traveler reported no issues. The CatchTable profile describes a gluten-free base for meals, snacks, and sides. Staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable, and the chef will advise on which drinks are safe.

Sunnyhouse

Seoul ·

Sunnyhouse is widely reported as gluten-free friendly, with a dedicated waffle iron, a dedicated fryer, and menu items explicitly offered gluten-free. The owner herself has coeliac disease, which explains a high level of care. However, there is a significant contradiction: one FindMeGlutenFree listing carries a prominent warning that the venue is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility, and a reviewer notes it stopped self-labelling as dedicated GF. Despite this, another FindMeGlutenFree listing and the atly.com directory label it as dedicated or 100% GF, and many coeliac diners report feeling safe. Overall, the balance of evidence suggests a strong protocol and knowledgeable staff, but the conflicting signals mean that verifying current practices directly with the venue is recommended.

Sky Gimbap

Seoul · Korean

Sky Gimbap provides a separate gluten-free menu. The owner understands coeliac requirements and uses separate pots when preparing those dishes. The kitchen is shared, and there is no dedicated fryer, so cross-contamination remains a possibility. Several coeliac diners have reported positive experiences, though the venue is not a fully gluten-free facility. Diners who are highly sensitive should confirm details with staff and proceed with caution.
