My favorite, and in my opinion, the best sushi in town. The owners are very nice and knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of gluten-free items that are marked. The spicy garlic edamame is amazing and so good you would not think it is gluten-free.

Unfortunately, they have had a lot of staff turnover in recent months, and once they put regular soy sauce in the gluten-free soy sauce container, so I got terribly sick. The owners identified the issue and apologized.

I will be bringing my own just in case from now on.

I don’t know if they accidentally put regular soy sauce in their GF tamari container, or if something happened, but I communicated my wheat allergy multiple times to my server and still got very sick after eating here. Which is super unfortunate because the food was good!

This place is very tiny and cute. Lots of gluten free options on menu, and waitress was very knowledgable about gluten. I double checked that sushi rice is gluten free. Just ordered sushi, and it was very good. They had gluten free soy sauce. Did not get sick.
