Banbu Sushi Bar & Grill

Wonderful accommodations for gluten free options. They did not have a menu, but ensured everything on my plate was gluten free. They even brought gluten free soy sauce unprompted. I opted for nigiri, but they waited that anything inside a roll could be substituted for a gluten free option. I felt 100% taken care of and not judged at all. First time eating out since being diagnosed with gluten intolerance and grateful that it went well!

I was assured by my server multiple times that the roll labeled gluten free was in fact gluten free. Then when it was dropped off I asked the person who brought it if it was gluten free and he said he didn’t know. Then someone else came back and said it was. IT WASN’T. I was soooooo sick that night, and the roll wasn’t even good.

I am a very sensitive Celiac and this is one of my go-to sushi restaurants. All of my servers have been very knowledgeable and document my allergies every time I go in. I love the GF Baja Norte and GF Baja Sur rolls. They also have Tito’s vodka on their happy hour menu! I’ve been here 10+ times and never had a reaction from any of their sushi.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

NOT SAFE. I just finished taking a bite of what was supposed to be gluten free miso-ramen and right as I swallowed I was informed that the waitress forgot to write gluten free in my order after I already asked her to reaffirm that the noodles were in fact gluten free and she assured me they were.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great gf choices for sushi, sashimi, rolls, and appetizers. they are listed on menu as gf upon request. my server Jessica was very knowledgeable about Celiac and allergies. when I asked her she stated chefs use fresh cutting board and utensils when allergy is stated. she also listed many dishes that could be custom-made gf that are not on the menu. excellent service!
