Kimbap Lab is a rare find—a 100% gluten-free Korean eatery where the founders' personal journey with gluten sensitivity sets the tone for everything they do. While they prepare food in a shared commissary kitchen, they've gone above and beyond with strict protocols: dedicated prep areas, separate utensils, and ongoing staff training all help keep cross-contact at bay. Sarah’s story (she lives gluten free herself) makes it clear you’re in caring hands, but I really appreciate their honesty about residual airborne gluten risk—transparency like that is gold. If you've ever wished for safe bulgogi or kimbap without the worry, this place offers comfort and community as much as flavor.
