Review
This restaurant was fantastic! They worked with my avocado allergy, as well as celiac and IBS. I love the “triple spicy combo“ because it was fresh, whole pieces of fish with a little bit of spicy mayo, versus ground up fish and mayo mixed.
Highly highly recommend this restaurant! It was the perfect place to eat an hour and a half before a play, and we could saunter half a block down the street to make it on time to our seats.

Review
I've dined in and gotten takeout here with no issue. No GF menu, but the online ordering system has a gluten allergy option for the items that can be adapted - basically, any sushi that isn't fried and doesn't have crab stick or eel. I've tried several rolls (Healthy Ichiban and Double Spicy Tuna w/o tempura flakes are probably my favorites) and haven't gotten sick. They've provided GF soy sauce in the restaurant and packets with my takeout orders.

I have celiac disease. Very attentive staff. Talked with me about options. Provided GF options and brought Tamari sauce as an alternative to soy sauce.

This is my go-to takeout sushi place, and they do a great job. Food is always fresh and I’m obsessed with their ginger salad dressing. Always include GF soy sauce with my order, and I’ve never gotten sick.

Very helpful staff. We're able to make some GF maki and sushi for us and told us most foods with sauces could not be made gluten free. Had GF soy sauce.
