Soto South Lamar

Almost everything on the menu can be made GF! Everything fried goes into a shared fryer unfortunately but only a small portion of the menu was fried. Had Tamari for sushi. The staff was so accommodating and understands celiac and takes it very seriously, they also deliver your food saying "prepared for celiac" which made me feel so comfortable. Will definitely be back!

Had a fabulous experience doing gluten free Omasake here. The staff was very knowledgeable and most things can be modified to be gluten free. Server mentioned that the kitchen takes allergies/cross contamination very seriously as well as customers with celiac disease. One of my favorite spots ever. Everything is delicious.

No Gf menu or markings on menu, but they are knowledgeable and can modify most items to make them GF if they are not already. They cannot offer tempura or fried items, so menu items that have non separable fried components are off limits. They said sometimes it’s possible to fill the frier with fresh oil to make GF, but generally they can’t have that option available for sure. We had a few rolls, White Tiger, crunchy salmon without tempura flakes, and waygu surf and turf, and some nigiri pieces. Everything was top notch, though surf and turf didn‘t live up to the price, a bit to salty meaty for us. They have tamari (GF soy). Tequila signature cocktails were very good, esp Earth and Honey.

All marinades and sauces are gluten free by nature so they are able to modify EVERYTHING on the menu to be gluten free (besides the gyozas). Kitchen and staff are extremely knowledgeable and they have a dedicated fryer they use for gluten free sushi toppings!

Literally everything but the gyozas is either already gluten free or can be modified to be gluten free! They were so knowledgeable that I decided to trust them with an 18 course omakase. One of the best meals of my life and they absolutely took care of every single dish to make sure it was not only completely gluten free but delicious as well!

Soto was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We stumbled upon it after seeing online they could accommodate gluten free items as I have celiac disease. After a cocktail and their delicious hamachi appetizer (where they fried the jalapeños with gf flour & in a separate fryer), we decided they were so delicious and cautious with gluten that we would try their omakase.

My husband and I go to omakase in New York so we love to trust the chef and oh boy Soto did not disappoint! Some of the courses we had were uni with quail egg served in a wine glass, salmon roasting on an open coffee bean fire, wagyu cooked at the table, chocolate foie gras with 8 year old sake, and many more - there were 18 courses!! Chef Andy came out to personally meet us and sent out sake and a gluten free dessert. Each waiter was incredibly friendly (Billy really took care of us!) and everything was super clean for COVID.

We are only visiting yet we have already decided we will be back! It’s not too often that as a celiac you can fully trust a sushi restaurant so the fact that they were able to modify everything to be gluten free without taking away from any of the flavors was incredible. 1000/10 recommend trying out Soto and especially their omakase for the quantity and quality of food you get with the price!
