Review of Gaijin

I visited this spot after reading some great reviews on this site (thank you!) and I was not disappointed. The staff could not have been nicer and knowledgeable about menu items that could be created safely for celiac. she explained that there is a dedicated area in the kitchen to cook gluten-free and add the batter is made from nagaimo, an Asian yam. I tried the beef and octopus okonomiyaki and holy cow it was delicious. My gluten, full dining companion said this may have even been better than the gluten one. Yes, options are limited, but it’s a treat and something unique. Ask your questions and enjoy a great meal!
