Would definitely go here again!

We let our waiter know that my bf was celiac. They asked if I was also needing allergies noted, which we said yes (since we were sharing and im gluten intolerant per gerd inflammation [not celiac tho]), but it was nice to get asked! They do not have a gf menu outright, but the waiter quickly pulled up a photo of the menu on their phone with gf penciled next to things. Since the menu was on the shorter side, it was easy to remember what was safe.

We also went around 6 pm and it wasnt crowded, which makes it generally easier for chefs to keep track of things. It was unclear tho if they did clean knives and such for cross contamination (we forgot to ask and will update here in the future).

Both of us didnt feel sick and it was delicious! Also, the one in Andersonville is byob (so they do not have alcoholic drinks to pair). Highly recommend the Tiger Shrimp (Cebu) nigiri and the Crispy Salmon Skin roll!

I have had this delivered a few times recently and they always mark the gluten free items for me, and usually send GF tamari, too. They have also called me to clarify my gluten free needs before which I appreciated.

Love Ora. They have gluten free soy sauce. I stuck with simple rolls and sashimi. Their sushi rice is really good. I've eaten here many times and have never gotten sick. Service can be slow, but the sushi is great.

Ora is so delicious. The servers are very knowledgable about gluten, and a lot of their menu is gluten free (and they have GF soy sauce and wasabi). Only one specialty roll is gluten free (it's delicious, though), and most of the basic rolls are GF. The miso soup, edamame, and of course the sashimi and nigiri are GF.

I have Celiac and haven't gotten sick here yet. Definitely try it!

Although they have GF knowledge, the service was horrible. We didn't even get our edamame until 40 mins after ordering --and the restaurant wasn't even half full. They didn't serve one of our sushi roll orders but still charged us for it on the bill.

I can't say enough good things about this place -- the guys preparing the sushi were incredibly accommodating & knowledgeable, and the sushi was fresh & awesome. My new go-to sushi spot in Andersonville.
