Hi! Come try some Japanese fried chicken and rotating specials!

On safety—All our sauces and dressings are gluten free. Our fryer is gluten free and we do not fry anything with gluten. The bread for the sandwich and the tortilla for the burrito is not gluten free so if you have celiac please let us know and we will change our gloves and switch out any equipment that had contact with gluten. Some of our desserts are also not gluten free but they are all made in a separate kitchen. Thank you.

Great GF Japanese style fried chicken! Enjoyed my meal & didn’t feel sick. Staff was knowledgeable about Celiac disease. When my order came out, there was a ticket with my order and Celiac was circled as one of the options.

Hi! We serve Japanese fried chicken and other dishes. All of our sauces and dressings are gluten free (we use gluten free soy sauce!). Our fryers are also gluten free. We offer vegan options and will try our best to accommodate any dietary restrictions. The sandwich for the bread and the tortilla for the burrito are not gluten free so we are NOT a gluten free kitchen. If you have celiac disease please let us know and we will switch out any equipment that had contact with gluten. Make sure to check out are rotating specials as well! We also have a variety of sake, cider, and wine if you’re looking for something to drink with your meal!

Almost completely gluten free! The fried chicken and cauliflower are fantastic. The tots are amazing! Highly recommend getting extra of the ranch because it is so good :)

Gluten containing items are marked. I think there are two.

Best oyako don. Chicken and rice wasn't crispy when done as take away. Sandwich, got for husband who isn't GF, is too tall to bite. Had to eat it with a fork. He said it was good.

BEST GF FRIED CHICKEN EVERRR. Staff is super knowledgeable, and now everything on the menu is GF except for their bread/tortillas, which are only used for the sandwiches/burritos of course. Would order Aburaya every other day if I could :D

I can’t believe I waited so long to try this place. Now I get takeout from here once a week. They are very celiac aware, and their only gluten items are bread for sandwiches and tortillas for burritos. All their sauces are now gf. You can specify “celiac” on your order and they take extra care. They coat their boneless chicken thighs in potato starch and fry them in a gf fryer. Not fancy, but delicious! The beet salad is great too, and don’t miss the oyako don. Also very affordable.

I've eaten their takeout fried chicken 2 or 3 times so far, and it was delicious and safe each time. No digestive issues. I did ask to make sure my order was gluten free each time. Not all sauces are gluten free.

We have ordered take out from here several times during the quarantine, and the food is excellent. I'm a big fan of the honey mustard sauce on the chicken, but there are several options available that are gluten free. We called ahead to ask questions the first time, and the staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

Nearly all of the seasonings are gf or can be made gf. They have separate gf and/or df dressing. They are very kind and accommodating about gf issues. My food always comes marked as gf, and the staff double check with the kitchen when I order so it is flagged early and often.
