Saku Hoboken

Update after being here a few times- Overall good experience, but have found the dishes that can be made GF like the fried rice are a bit hit or miss in terms of safety. I’ve had the rice with no reaction on occasion, but have gotten sick from it on another. When I’ve gone and stuck to sushi, things have been ok.

The sushi is pricey, but good and the staff is usually fairly knowledgable. They have GF soy sauce available.

On top of the GF menu they were able to modify nightly specials for GF needs and swapped out all the soy sauce on the table as soon as they found out there was a gluten allergy. Jenny was a great attentive server and we will definitely be back.

Menu indicates items that either are GF or can be prepared GF, wait staff was knowledgeable and they provided GF soy sauce when I requested. Cocktail list was not marked so check the ingredients.

So happy to have found this place and be able to enjoy GF sushi. The server definitely acknowledge when I said I needed everything GF and she also told me how rolls would be modified, for example, no crunchies. They did have GF soy sauce too, although I had to ask a few times. My only complaint is that they served the most miniscule portion of wasabi and ginger.

Impressed with the gluten free options! I got gluten free shrimp fried rice and it was awesome! Also loved that their sushi is labeled, I haven’t had a sweet potato roll in so long!

I ordered two rolls, spicy shrimp and a specialty roll and said I cannot have gluten so I don't know if you have to prepare anything differently. I didn't ask as many questions as normal because of all the high reviews and the GF mark on the menu. I took one bite of my first roll and realized it was a shrimp tempura roll and spit it out and told the waitress. She apologized and got me new food but still disappointing especially since the order was still incorrect, but at least not glutinous.

I’m so excited to find a sushi establishment that not only offers gluten free soy sauce (even with takeout), but also has a special superstate gluten free sushi rice that is actually sticky! I have eaten takeout from here twice thus far and have not been ill and historically have been very sensitive!

Menu items are marked for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, which is super helpful but the kitchen space is definitely a shared space. Staff is accommodating but not overly knowledgeable when it comes to manipulating other dishes to fit needs. Big sake list too which is refreshing to see. Pricey but tasty.
