Top 19 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Navy Yard, Washington

The food and drinks are delicious and the service is always great even when busy. They took amazing care of a family member with a severe gluten allergy, carefully reviewing the menu with them and steering them away from the foods they could not eat. We love coming here, and are so glad they’re part of the neighborhood.

To preface, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease close to 20 years ago when I was 5 years old. I'm used to my options being limited or nonexistent when I go out to eat with friends, especially when it comes to Korean food. (Curse you soy sauce!!!) Also to preface, my friends and I were in town for the StrayKids concert yesterday. The entire day of the concert, all I'd had to eat was a packet of microwave 90 second rice, and a couple protein bars that I had packed ahead of time in my suitcase just in case. Needless to say, I was starving and in desperate need of some good food when we got going this morning. A search entry for "gf food near me" in Google maps popped up with a few options near the hotel we were staying at including SeoulSpice. When I saw it was Korean food I was expecting maybe a couple things that could be modified to make them somewhat safe. Boy was I wrong. 😆 When I tell you I audibly gasped and startled my friends when I saw the words, "100% Gluten Free" on the website, I'm not lying. And the food? Did NOT disappoint. 🙌 I got a little bit of basically everything in my bowl and Debbie piled it so high the lid barely fit on the take out container. And its not just the portion sizes about SeoulSpice that are incredibly large, their hearts are too. When I told Debbie how long I'd been gluten free, and that I was unaccustomed to having options out and about so was very overwhelmed, she walked me through every ingredient and option behind the counter and offered suggestions about some of her favorite combos, too. Also! Because we were the only ones there (we got there right when they opened) Debbie let me try each of the sauces so I could make a more informed decision for my bowl topping and pointed out when I was checking out that there were also Gluten-free cookies like chocolate chip and red velvet (which was so good by the way). The only thing I would say needs improvement is the door is incredibly heavy. 🤣 Careful not to throw your back out trying to get in the door to reach the food that tastes like the mana of the gods and kind, understanding faces like Debbie that reside within. The breakdown! The prices: 10/10 -Reasonable and affordable The food: 100/10 -Huge portions and Delicious! The people: 1000/10 -Incredibly kind and helpful Thank you, for the delicious food and for helping me feel accepted for who I was and what I live and struggle with everyday. Basically... Thank you for helping me feel normal, Debbie and the SeoulSpice crew. When I'm back in town this way be assured I will come back as frequently as I can during my stay . I hope y'all have a nice day! And I hope everyone who reads this gives them a try. They're worth it.😊

Amazing gluten free pizza! I have never tasted this type of pizza in a gluten free format! A must try.

We visit yesterday and there were a lot of “grilled” GF options. I asked the waitress if the kitchen had dedicated grill space for their GF items. They let me know they did not have a dedicated space. They said they toast the bread on the grill but that it was okay because it was super hot. May work for someone who is gluten intolerant but definitely not for celiac. They also do NOT have a dedicated fryer for their fries.

Had such a lovely meal! The food was absolutely delicious but it was our server Veena, who really went above and beyond to personalize our experience. They were so helpful and informative when accommodating dietary restrictions at the table - Eating out with celiac is hard! But Veena was so sweet and didn’t make us feel like a burden at all. Definitely will be in their section every time we come back!!

Great dinner out for Moroni Mondays. The patio area is lovely and pet-friendly. The staff was very accommodating of my gluten-free dietary restriction. Delicious food that our waitress Edith recommended. Very attentive staff and awesome date spot.

The food was fantastic and the service even better! They were able to accommodate my gluten and egg allergies and everyone was able to find something that appealed to them. Its a great menu with something for everyone. Great view of Nationals Park from the second floor. The atmosphere is a really cool art deco, Gatsby-esque style. However, it is a little dark if you're over 40, lol. Be prepared to use your phone in the bathroom to check for messes - it's a black toilet on a black floor with very little light 🤣.
