Where can I find gluten-free ramen in Des Plaines?+

Is ramen gluten-free?+
Traditional ramen is not — the noodles are wheat-based and most broths use soy sauce containing wheat. Gluten-free ramen swaps in rice or buckwheat noodles and uses tamari or certified gluten-free soy sauce.
Can celiacs eat ramen?+
Only if the bowl is prepared gluten-free with certified GF noodles, a tamari-based broth, and no cross-contamination. Always confirm with the restaurant directly before ordering.
