Celiac Safety Score

Excellent for Celiac

Buddakan makes celiac safety feel like second nature, with a thoughtfully designed menu and allergy protocols that go way beyond lip service. Servers are trained to handle celiac needs seriously, and there's a separate celiac-safe menu with clear modifications—so you won't be left guessing or negotiating at the table. From the creamy wasabi mashed potatoes to the vibrant lobster fried rice, the kitchen's flexibility and transparency shine (they even swap in tamari and customize sauces on request). It's the kind of place where you can exhale, actually savor your meal, and feel confident you're being looked after—though if you're in a very large group, it's smart to double-check with your server just to keep nerves at bay.
