I ordered gluten free & explained that I am celiac. The waitress understood and advised that the while panko flour is gluten free, it is then fried in a gluten containing fryer and so the final product is NOT gluten free. For someone who is gluten sensitive, this may or may not may not be a problem. To a celiac, it's flat out dangerous. She advised which rolls I could not have (certain sauces, panko, and such) and which ones could be modified (without panko for example). I felt confident in the information I was given so my fiancé and I ordered a number of different rolls. Presentation was beautiful, I dug into the spicy tuna and while I was eating, I looked up at the plate of rolls and noticed that the roll sitting next to the roll I was eating had panko crunchy flakes all over it, and yep, spilled onto the roll I was eating. I looked down at my plate and saw a crunchy flake that fell off my chopsticks and about cried on the spot. The waitress genuinely felt terrible and was apologetic, said she told one chef that I couldn't have the panko but a 2nd chef helped with the order and chef #1 didn't tell #2. But hey, this is the risk I took so I can only blame myself. The tiny flakes blend in pretty well with white rice & I didn't see them. I just re-read the reviews left before mine and noticed neither commented about being celiac. So I'm leaving this one, for the celiac who is considering eating here. If they don't make the same mistake with your food, you may be fine..? Perhaps I'm the random unlucky one? But man I feel it, this is not good. It's only day 2 of our vacation so I'm hoping this doesn't get really bad. Guess I'll know by morning.
