Setu Upadhya

I'm a big fan of moonbowls! -Excellent taste! I had the tofu bowl and really enjoyed the various toppings (you get upto 5). My favorites: fresno chiles, roasted corn, citrus kale. -Fast delivery, everything was very fresh -Vegans, vegetarians and gluten free people can easily order. Love that the menu is so nicely labeled. -Other favorites: The various sauces (ginger-soy and creamy sesame), and sweet potato dumplings

Wanda Waddell

So good! Celiac friendly and fresh!

Cory Wilson

Really tasty and Gluten free! I loved the variety of sides and the beef and sauces were amazing!

Angie Kim

The service is amazing! The employees were very patient and answered all of our questions about gluten free options, which they have a ton of gf to choose from. The bulgogi was perfectly cooked and well done but not dry at all, I loved it!!!!! The brown rice and spicy Cucumber was a perfect pairing with the bulgogi. I never take the time to leave reviews, but I liked this place so much that I had to leave a review for other gf peeps!

So glad we found this place! We are visiting the area and looking up gluten free places since my daughter has an allergy. Just ordered the original chicken and steamed rice. It was amazing. So crispy and flavorful. Definitely stopping in whenever we are in Anaheim. We ordered to go and the customer service was great at ordering and pickup.

Just moved to the area and this is my go-to Grubhub order when I don’t feel like cooking or going out. There’s a little place in austin I used to go to all the time that’s similar and I’d missed it so much after moving. But then I found moon bowls! I’m gluten free so I love finding tasty options - the sweet potato noodles and bbq chicken with pickled onions and broccoli are my jam. Never disappointed. I also noticed that they personally respond to every review and I think that’s a great touch. Shows they care. I guess you can’t please everyone but I’m surprised they don’t have a 5 star average with the quality of the food. I paid more because it was Grubhub - but I think it’s close to $20 before the fees. I guess it’s a little pricy… still worth it though.

The food is delicious, excellent quality and gluten-free. Dining out when going gluten and dairy free can be very difficult, but this was great and arrived quickly!

Had a great time there. Gluten free Ramen.... First time I have gotten to have it in at least 30 years... Well since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. They were very nice folks working there. Service was great and food good. Good atmosphere...reminded me a little of when I lived in Japan.

This place is gas, I don’t know how it wasn’t busier than it was!! Big portions, quick service, super delicious. They have a gluten free menu too! Get the orange ish chicken for sure.

Carina Szabo

OMGGG this place is so GOOOD. I ordered the avocado bulgogi and cauliflower wings and was beyond impressed. There is so much flavor and is gluten free. I have been wanting more healthy alternatives on days I don’t want to cook and love this place. Will definitely be ordering here again. And I’ll say it again so much flavor!!! The bowls come with Kimchi and it’s the best kimchi I’ve had!!

I took too long to pick up my order so they remade it for me because it got cold! They were super fast and polite. The food was soooo good and apparently completely gluten free which is amazing because I can never eat anywhere so I greatly appreciate the inclusivity! 10/10. Plus I accidentally went to the wrong one originally and all the workers were super helpful in pointing me in the right direction and informing me!

Samir Jain

I checked in about gluten free and enjoyed the joodooboo set! The fried silken tofu is amazing

Nelika-Fai Watson

The food was amazing and so was the service. Highly recommend for GLUTEN FREE fried chicken!

Weng Gavin

Decent fast Korean dishes. Have gluten-free options for main protein and all side dishes are gluten-free.

Tracy Winters

Holly J

Ive been glutened here countless times by the impossible beef bowl. Had to stop ordering from them. Be warned.

Catalily Marshall

My go to for fast, fresh food. Pick up is usually quick. At a hub that is take-out only. Have severe dairy/beef/gluten allergies and has always been safe for me.

As a celiac I really appreciate that most of the menu is gluten free. I have never gotten sick from cross contamination here. You also get a really good portion of protein for the price. It is very simple food but it is delicious

Calvin Kim

Gluten Free!!! This place has amazing Korean food and the gluten free dishes were amazing. Our Celiac family member loved the food and had no reaction after the meal. Highly recommend. Quite honestly, the best food we had during our one week stay in SF.

For our 20th wedding anniversary we went to Taroko Asian grill. It was a beautiful restaurant with what can only be rated 5-star dining experience with extremely affordable prices. The staff was very friendly and kind. They have a gluten-free menu! We got wanton appetizers. My husband got wanton soup and also a rich Malaysian Curry bowl [(Steak) comes in chicken and shrimp too] . I got the Taroko Chicken and rice, delicious! We asked for extra bowls so we could try each others food. We will have leftovers for a few days. For dessert, we shared stawberry ice cream wrapped in Stawberry flavored Mouchi layered on top of a bed of crushed berries. They have it available in 4 flavors. Everything was so good. Compliments to the Chef, you have perfected your dishes! The flavor palettes are amazing! Definitely 5 stars! I can't wait to go again. Taroko Asian grill has got to be the best kept secret in Redding! If you are reading this,YOU will want to go soon before the secret gets out!

Renee Crouzet-Pascal

Amazing food quality for the price we will definitely return soon! One lady was running the whole show taking orders while cooking. Service was fast and friendly. Gluten free and vegetarian options.

Mariel Beausejour

Delicious!!! The gluten free chicken bowl was so good and did not gluten bomb us! Celiac safe!

Claude Kroupa

Gluten Free options on the menu. GF

Nonya Bisnus

Very happy to see the gluten free items labeled

Quinn Pauli

I am celiac and got takeout from here because the entire menu is apparently gluten free, but I got sick (definitely gluten sick). Beware for anyone who is GF for medical reasons.

Esteban

The PLACE advertises to be gluten free If You Have an allergy I suggest Not To get it, but if it’s just a preference by all means. Is one of those ghost kitchens where they don’t have any staff whatsoever so you just have to place your order and not go pick it up parking is limited because there are a lot of Uber drivers or delivery drivers waiting to pick up their orders for their customers

Su jung Lample

The gluten-free vegan bowl at Red Pine Cafe was delicious! A great option for health-conscious diners. Will be back for more!

Paul Duncan

Staff is very friendly. Super nice and very attentive. We had several rolls, and we customized several due to a gluten allergy. Fish was very fresh. Gluten free soy sauce is always a plus.

I have ordered from here multiple times. I never have had a problem with anything. I have a gluten intolerance and this is a great way for me to have fried chicken that is actually crispier than regular. I highly suggest this place, especially if you like spicy. It is not over the top hot, but it has some sting.

Breana McGowan

Under new ownership. Unfortunately, they haven’t taken down the old photos of the dishes they no longer have that are still posted when you walk in. However, their smaller menu is delicious. The banchan was tasty but spicy which some may not like. We took a friend that was gluten free and they server did the best he could to accommodate and even went above and beyond to check some ingredients to make sure. Everything we had was delicious, the 3 of us shared 4 dishes and were more than full. The new owners definitely made sure to step up their game as we didn’t enjoy the place when we went years ago.

Excellent service and excellent quality of foods! I had Kalbitang (beef bone soup with glass noodle) and tojong soondae. Both were gluten free dairy free. I am super symptomatic celiac and allergic to gluten and I felt good after eating. Side dishes are not gluten free Kimchi, radish kimchi nothing is gluten free so don’t touch them. I have two kids and the server quickly brought a high chair, extra soup bowls and plastic spoons and forks for them. He also brought scissors and tongs for me to cut the foods for them.

The short rib koja, a unique sandwich made from crispy rice as the buns, was one of the best things I've eaten in some time. Many an expletive of excitement was uttered while munching. The meat was moist, tender and flavorful, topped with an excellent slaw. It's easy to taste the quality of ingredients used and expertise of preparation. I'm not being hyperbolic; this is my new favorite food item in all of SF, and it's naturally gluten free which unfortunately I need, so I'm double pysched. Beyond that, service was warm and friendly. I was promptly greeted, and asked to be helped. Though I declined, able to use the self service kiosk, and elderly gentleman behind me was guided through his order as I waited, which I appreciated.

Lorah Gross

This place has great food and even better for me, they have a number of gluten free items on the menu including pork belly bibimbap and salmon bibimbap served with lots of veggies. If you specify gluten free they will make sure the pickles/sides that come with your meal are gluten free and will provide GF soy sauce and hot sauce. Avoid the barley tea if you're gluten intolerant/celiac. This place is very popular at dinnertime and there can be a wait so it's probably not great for big groups in a hurry. At lunchtime you will be seated right away.

Moodaepo is a restaurant I have been to many times. Which is interesting considering that I don't eat meat. However, they have amazing sides and options for people like me, such as mushrooms, tofu soup, etc. My friend who was with me is Gluten Free and they had options for her as well such as the garlic chicken & few others mentioned to us that I cannot recall but not ordered because we had no more space to eat! One thing I always get if it is available is the watermelon soju (pictured). I'm obsessed with their japchae and kimchi - some of the best I've ever had. Even though Korean BBQ is a meat-eaters delight, there's something for everyone here which is why I come back and enjoy myself just as much as everyone!

A beautiful broth— clean, healthy, so comforting. We drank the broth to the last drop! Staff are so kind and knowledgeable about ingredients. Many of the items can be made gluten free. Staff was able to guide us to foods that did not contain specific allergens. Would definitely come back again. So happy to find a go to place for comfort soups.

Veronica Antonova

Gluten free options, caviar, full BBQ, and a patio? I'm there!

Mel Linnemeyer

Fair prices, great selection/ variety of food, fun atmosphere, and good layout. They make it easy to bbq if you have food allergies, also. No gluten-free sauces, fyi, but tons of options to season in other ways. So much fun and highly recommend for small groups! They'll even swap out the grill for you if needed.

Hot tea and two rolls were excellent. Umami house roll was exceptionally good. Only miss was they didn't have gluten free soya sauce. Otherwise 5 stars.
