Grain Seoul

Grain Seoul is reported to have a gluten-free menu with dishes clearly marked GF, including pancakes and bread/buns. The kitchen is not dedicated GF, however, and reviews suggest cross-contamination risk: one coeliac reviewer advises asking staff to cook bread separately from normal toast, while another expressed uncertainty about celiac safety. Staff are described as knowledgeable about gluten. This is a best-effort venue where you should call ahead and confirm your needs with the team before ordering.

Honest caveat: One coeliac FindMeGlutenFree reviewer no longer recommends the venue after a third visit.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Vegan modifications are available on request but are not marked on the menu. Staff speak English and will adapt dishes when asked (e.g., replacing egg and pesto with hummus, offering plant milks). The kitchen is shared and serves meat, eggs, and cheese, so cross-contamination is possible. This is a best-effort venue; call ahead to discuss your requirements.

Honest caveat: One HappyCow reviewer reported that wait staff only recommended avocado toast for vegans and did not mention other potentially vegan options.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Dairy modifications are possible on request (e.g., oat, soy, almond milk; omitting cheese/pesto). The kitchen serves dairy as standard, so cross-contamination is likely. Call ahead to discuss your needs.

Egg-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Egg can be omitted from dishes like avocado toast on request. The kitchen uses eggs widely, so cross-contamination risk is present. Advance notice advised.

Nut-free

confidence 30% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The menu includes items with nuts and seeds, but one review briefly mentions availability of GF bread without further nut-related detail. No kitchen practice information available. Call ahead to confirm.
