Understand what this list is not
This is not a certified gluten-free list. It collects restaurants whose signature-dish ingredient data in EatHub does not flag gluten — which is not the same as a guarantee that the kitchen avoids it.
Restaurants with no ingredient data are excluded entirely, so that an empty record is never mistaken for "no gluten".
If you have celiac disease or a medically diagnosed gluten intolerance, do not order on the basis of this list alone. Confirm directly with the restaurant.
Where gluten hides in Korean food
Wheat turns up in places that are not visible on the plate. Most Korean soy sauce contains wheat, and many gochujang products do as well, which makes any sauced dish hard to judge by appearance.
Batter, dumpling wrappers, noodles, and fish cake are unambiguous wheat products, as are jeon and buchimgae pancakes.
Cross-contact matters too. Shared fryer oil and shared utensils are common, so a dish with no wheat in the recipe can still pick it up in the kitchen.
What to ask when ordering
Start by asking whether soy sauce or gochujang is used. Those two questions surface most of the risk.
The phrase that communicates best is "밀가루 알레르기가 있어요" (mil-garu allereugi-ga isseoyo — "I have a wheat flour allergy"). The English word "gluten" is not always understood.
Rice-based dishes are the safer default, with one common exception: tteokbokki sauce frequently contains wheat flour even though the rice cakes themselves do not.
