Hotpot is normally a safe bet when going gluten free since it is fresh ingredients and meats. The tricky part, though, is in how the cooking broth is made. At Sim Suki ALL of the broth options on the menu contain gluten, but they are happy to make you a gluten free hotpot vegetable broth.

Gluten free or not gluten free observations:
Item(s) ordered: Vegetable broth | Various meats and vegetables
GF observation: No allergen markings, you need to ask the staff. There was one English speaking staff present. He informed me that all their broth contains soy sauce and/or fish sauce, but he arranged for a gluten free vegetable broth to be made off the menu. He also warned me against using any of the sauces on the table to avoid allergens.
Celiac safety: Cross contamination is a possibility in the process of making the broth. I did not have any issues during my visit.
Overall comment: A nice local restaurant with a surprisingly tasty vegetable broth. Just add all your favorite vegetables and meats and you are good to go!
