Friends Sushi & Bento Place

I told the very kind server I have severe celiacs and could absolutely have no gluten or cross contamination and she brought me the GF menu. Even asked for GF soy sauce and asked if everything was GF and she triple checked for me. I was reassured by the great staff and the place being so clean and well kept. HOWEVER, Halfway through my meal I started getting the nausea and I ended up in the bathroom vomiting with stomach cramps. I thought it was unrelated as I only ordered rice, onion soup, a Philly roll, and edamame. I packed up the rest of my food to finish at home but halfway through packing the edamame; I found A NOODLE IN THE EDAMAME. I have severe celiac so even cross contamination like this (which I was assured wouldn’t happen) makes me violently Ill. If you eat here, probably stick just to some rolls and rice. The miso is made with gluten but the onion soup was delicious.

Great sushi and very accommodating. They have a gluten free menu you can ask for. Many of the rolls are GF and all of the vegetarian sushi should be GF too. For reference: I have a gluten intolerance, not celiac’s
