Dedicated gluten free frier and extensive gluten free menu! Our waiter was incredibly attentive about double checking any dishes we ordered for cross contamination. Every time a dish was served he assured us that it was gluten free. They provided tamari straight from the San-J gluten free tamari bottle which made me feel extra safe 😭

I wanted a dessert, a hojicha creama, but it contained crispy puffs. The waiter checked with the chef that the dessert could safely be made without gluten contamination by omitting the crispy puffs, and it could! I didn’t feel any effects after the meal.

Get the octopus! It’s so tasty!!

Had a separate gluten free menu with about 8 dishes and a half of dozen sushi rolls + sashimi/nigiri. Also had GF soy sauce. Felt very confident in this as the waitress double checked on each item ordered + the individual who brought out our food mentioned it being gf.

I’m veg and gf and they were super accommodating the two times I’ve been here. They even made delicious vegan shashimi off menu for me.

I called ahead and mentioned that I had celiac disease - was informed that they had a gluten free menu and this would not be a problem.

When my girlfriend and I got there the moment I said “celiac” I was denied service. They ended up serving us two appetizers after I basically had to argue with them. I didn’t get sick but it put a huge damper on my girlfriend’s birthday...

I cannot recommend going here if you’re celiac. Terrible experience.
