Amazing restaurant! Love all their GF options. One of my girlfriend’s favorite restaurants. We love everything about this place. The ambiance is delightful, cocktails delicious, and sushi delectable!

I had a great meal here! They do have a caveat on their menu about food being prepared in a shared kitchen space, but the waiter was attentive, brought us gf soy sauce and a separate menu, marked the order as gf and assured us it would be handled separately, and I did not get sick. The food was all delicious and they had tons of gf options and vegan sushi as well!

I have a mild tolerance for cross contamination (never *yet* had an issue with a shared fryer, but many issues at various pizza places with “gf” options). I say this because I can’t speak for everyone, but Blue Sushi & Sake warns that they can’t guarantee a lack of cross contamination. For my tolerance, I did not have any issues, and hopefully that gives a little context in this review.

Onto the food itself. They have an entire gluten-sensitive menu. This menus had multiple starters, and raw rolls (not just a 3-item menu for those who are gf). The alcoholic drinks are also noted when gluten free (though they don’t list any gf beer options at this time).

The sushi was delicious. The waitress warned both manager and cook staff, and every plate that they brought out, they said it accommodated my gluten allergy. They were also able to change the sauce used in the gringo roll from the main menu, to a gluten free variation (using a non-spicy sauce).

After I let the waitress know about my allergy, she brought out a gluten-free soy sauce in its own bottle (first time I’ve seen that at a restaurant).

The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars on safety is because I’d only give 5 stars to a dedicated gluten-free facility where there is no risk.

Overall, very highly recommended sushi restaurant.

It’s a great Sushi restaurant with good quality and very GF aware, though they warn of possible contamination. So probably not ideal for Celiac but good for Gluten-intolerant. It’s a big space which can be helpful for big group events that include people that are sensitive to gluten.

Separate GF menu, really limited (but still great options) compared to the main one so don’t torture yourself and look at the main menu first.

GF soy sauce, knowledgeable servers who can mark the gluten “allergy” for the kitchen - they change gloves and clean utensils / boards.

overall a delicious and safe option!

They have a separate GF menu. Not as extensive as the regular menu, but still full of great options. They have GF soy sauce. And they’re always sure to ask if my GF preference is an allergy and make the proper accommodations. I have never had a bad experience.

I was in the other day and my server was phenomenal. She was sure to talk to the kitchen about my allergy without me even asking her to. Someone tried to bring out my salad and out wonton strips on it. She stopped them before the even got to the table and had it remade for me.

Been here twice now and both times food and drinks were amazing! They’re very careful with bringing food out and even reminding me when I’m unable to have something. The servers are extremely kind and even recommended some of their own favorite GF dishes.

Gluten free menu but other items could have easily been GF to offer even more options. Food was excellent. Server was discombobulated and not interested in helping us explore the menu. This is not the experience we have had here in the past but today was disappointing from a service standpoint.
