Top 33 Gluten-Free Korean Spots to Explore in New York City

Great options for vegan brunch. Although the vegan BLT was unexpectedly sweet, the quality of the food was excellent.i would return to try another vegan dish. Recommended for groups with various dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, nut free, etc). Service was great!

Just really good food. Comforting and gluten free with good vegetarian options. Highly recommend the rice bowls. YUM!

Martina Carli

The noodles were amazing and 100% gluten free

Austin Mateo

Gluten free fried chicken. What else can I say.

Grace Park

Fun experience sitting on modified ground chairs like you can find in Asia! Food is vegan and modern, which surprised me. The food was okay! The presentation and service are great but I was not particularly impressed with the food. There is a gluten free section on the menu. Even though the other food options don’t look like they’d have any gluten, they have traces (e.g. sauce for one ingredient in mixed rice uses wheat)

Don’t even think about it. Unless you are seeking revenge on someone, in which case you should recommend they order delivery from this place. Found this place as “(Expletive) Gluten” on DoorDash. I figured out that the business behind that name was moonbowls, and chose to order directly from them so they’d hopefully get more money. The first two times I ordered from them were kinda rough: Food tasted OK, portions were quite small, and orders were 30 minutes late. I was foolish enough to order a third time. When the order was 15 minutes late I checked their app and saw that the food hadn’t been picked up. I texted their “concierge” service, which assured me that the food was just waiting to be picked up. 30 minutes later I texted again. Silence. Tried to call, but their phone number is just a complicated menu where all options lead you back to texting them. At the 2-hour mark I texted then again, only to learn that the order still hadn’t been picked up. They tried to shift blame, saying that they made the food on time but that their “delivery partner” (read: Uber Eats) was at fault. Whatever. I cut my losses and took the refund. Will never get that 2 hours back. You’ve been warned.

I've been going to because I have celiac disease and they are 100% gluten-free but Unfortunately, I recently tested their food with my Nima sensor, and it found gluten, which made me really sick and almost sent me to the hospital. It's super important for places that serve gluten-free food to make sure it's actually safe for people with celiac disease. Do better the owner insured me no gluten very disappointed

Caroline Portante

Such a great spot! A lot of the menu was already gf, and they’re super aware of gluten and cross contamination - bonus, the foods delicious!

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Food was good, lunch special is good value and the bibimbap was really yummy. Our daughter enjoyed the tempura prawn and we also really liked their oysters and cocktail shrimp (very meaty and great value at $1.75 each). Service is good and they have some Gluten Free options as well but struggled a little bit ensuring the GF variant came out (i.e. the sauce on bi him bap is not GF but they brought it out). A bit extra vigilance required if you have gluten sensitivity but with that being said staff was very friendly and fixed it right away.

One of my go-to vegan restaurants in the city. Food is good and the menue is very accommodating to those with different restrictions. They have an all gluten free menu as well. The food is flavourful and delicious. I highly recommend it. I've gone through most of the menu. Here I'm having their famous oyster mushrooms and Pineapple fried rice. All vegan. 😍

I am so, so deeply disappointed in this restaurant. I have celiacs disease and thought this was a safe place for me to eat. THEIR GF ENTREES ARE NOT GF-FRYER IS CROSS CONTAMINATED. THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS AND DO NOT CARE. So sad that this place is trying to market off of chronically ill individuals and knowingly making people sick. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU NEED GF FOOD!!

Came in for a quick bite before a show. This was perfect for our family who each have very different food preferences and dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). The kids loved choosing their ingredients and creating their own unique meal. We will definitely be back!

I had an incredible dining experience at Cote - their attention to dietary restrictions was top-notch. As someone with a gluten allergy, I often worry about limited options, but Cote went above and beyond to ensure I had a seamless and enjoyable meal. We ordered the Butcher’s Feast, and while the table had the marinated galbi, they thoughtfully swapped in a gluten-free skirt steak just for me - without compromising the experience for the rest of the group. Every time a new dish was brought out, the servers clearly communicated which items were safe for me to eat, making me feel truly cared for. One small downside was the meat dipping sauce that typically comes with the meal I wasn’t able to have, and they didn’t offer a gluten-free alternative. However, I always bring my own gluten-free soy sauce packets, so that worked perfectly. Additionally, since I couldn’t have the stews included in the Butcher’s Feast, we ordered a bibimbap for the table. Overall, the staff was attentive, kind, and incredibly accommodating. Would definitely go back!

Lila Brown

10/10! I have celiac and this place was perfect for gluten free dining. They had tamari, everything that I could eat was labeled, the server confirmed no cross contact, etc. I was with someone who isn’t gf and they enjoyed the meal just as much as I did. And the atmosphere is really nice, twinkle lights and soft music. Would highly recommend

Great for celiacs as you can have gluten free bibimbap! Food is really good, while there is no stone bowl which means the rice doesn't get the same crunch, the flavour was bang on and it's a good portion as well. Could use a smidge more protein. Veggies were delicious. Great service as well.

I love their casual setting and the bar! We wanted something different and found it! Their food is amazing! From their appetizers to their dishes, the wait is worthwhile! I loved the fish cake appetizer! We ordered potstickers, beef bulgogi and gluten-free mackerel! WoW.. what deliciousness! The space is simple, clean and welcoming! Their staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating! I highly recommend them!

Tamara Weaver

Came to New York City to see Hamilton and needed a place for my gluten free family to eat. Staff was helpful and the meal was delicious! My son has EoE and he found options too. Will happily return.

An unassuming little shop with food that'll blow you away. I stopped by a couple weeks ago and got the regular corn dog and spicy soy garlic chicken sandwich, and while both were incredible I can't stop thinking about the chicken sandwich! Service was fantastic, and I had asked about allergy information (my friend has Celiac and I wanted to find somewhere with gluten free corn dogs and donuts) and the man at the register was very helpful in figuring out what flour they use. Unfortunately it's not gluten free (they use wheat flour along with the rice flour) but I'll still keep coming myself!

This was a walk in visit. I asked about gluten free options and they were able to prepare sushi with GF soy sauce for me. I also had the grilled squid from the Korean menu. The orders for my kids were forgotten and it took a while for them to receive their food. The owner was very nice!

Reggie Ray

We had gluten free needs in our party, and they were so thoughtful and accommodating. The food was so, so good! We had a great time.

My third time here, delicious as always. Had an unexpected group of 7 instead of 6 but they thankfully let us squeeze into the booth— just be aware, with 7 people, it’s tight! The waiter was very patient serving my large group, which I’m grateful for (lots of food indecisiveness, asking for allergy alternatives, recommendations, etc). My friend is gluten free, which they have very limited options for, but we knew this. Definitely make a booking if you plan on coming. It’s always been packed when I’ve gone. Also, it’s best experienced as a sharing-style restaurant so you can try a few things!

Insane service at all hours and gluten-free friendly! Food was incredible and so were the staff. Wish we could come here more regularly (we’re from out of town)! Love this place

Karla C.

We very much enjoyed our meals: ox-bone noodle soup with beef and stone-bowl oysters, veggies & rice (very flavorful!). Delicious side dishes, especially the kimchi and squash. Cozy atmosphere. Kind service. Many gluten-free options. Will visit again!
