if you have celiac, you are safe :)) there’s one thing that’s not GF & they are aware & can let you know what that is. safe from cross contamination as well.

Although the food was definitely good and most of the menu is GF, beware of the extremely high prices and very small portion sizes. This restaurant strictly serves Japanese fusion style tapas, which are roughly priced between $20 and $35 per appetizer. Again, although the food was good, for only 3 appetizers and a beer, our bill was $100 and we left very hungry and unsatisfied. Although I did look the menu up ahead of time, there are no prices listed, so we were certainly surprised when we discovered that the small appetizers have hefty prices. On top of that, the service was poor. I definitely won’t be returning any time soon.

Game changer!! I was surprised to find out that all menu items (with exception of beef dumplings and the sando) are gluten-free!
The restaurant offers upscale Japanese tapas and there were too many options to choose. I went with the fried chicken (I know.. it’s rice flour and is hands down the best GF I’ve had), shrimp crispy rice, lobster ceviche, and tuna roll. Incredibly good and can’t wait to try more dishes. Outdoor seating is great given the current omicron situation.
NOTE: I am gluten-intolerant, not celiac. However I had none of the usual symptoms whilst digesting my food. Celiac folks should ask about a shared fryer but I don’t know of any fried foods with breading on them in the current menu (glutenous dumplings appear to be steamed)
