They no longer have gluten free broth so I cannot eat here anymore. Im bummed that they changed their menu because they had amazing celiac safe gluten free ramen.

I’ve never been more disappointed in a restaurant. For years Tatsu claimed “100% lab certified gluten free ramen” and followed good practices regarding staff training and cross contamination. Just last year their website was updated to specify that the $6 extra only gets you gluten free noodles… the protein and toppings (and possibly broth?) still have gluten. Super misleading, and tragic as this was the only “safe” place I could get authentic ramen

Excellent gluten free ramen! They even give toppings laid on the side of the bowl as to not cross contaminate with the main ramen. It’s so delicious!

Trash. Total trash. That’s all I have to say. They charge extra for gluten-free noodles, but the whole dish will make you incredibly sick because their broth and their proteins contain gluten even though that they advertise that they have lab tested gluten-free food. They lie. Someone should sue them.

I called to make sure the ramen broth was GF as they advertised gf noodles. All of the broths are made with soy sauce and contain gluten. Very confusing to offer gf noodles when the entire dish is not gf.

Update: looks like it’s not clear if even regular broth is GF. Real bummer as this was one of my few safe places to go out. Really disappointed.

Unfortunately just found out that all proteins (including egg) are not GF. This is marked on the menu when selecting sides, but NOT when adding these items to the order. Major oversight.

Additionally, the sides clearly have gluten containing ingredients (imitation crab, soy sauce, etc) but are not marked as containing gluten. They need to update their menu.

Other than that the food is good and worth getting if you’re gluten free. A little pricey. Be careful and you should be okay.

They can make celiac-safe noodles with broth and topping. However, *all* of their proteins arrive at the shop already marinated in regular soy sauce, so they cannot put any meat, tofu, or egg in your ramen. It is a real bummer that they can't even boil you a celiac-safe egg.

Had the old skool bowl with GF ramen. It’s a bit pricey for GF option but worth it. Did not get sick afterward!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Host/Manager was super knowledgeable and explained that all the ramens but one could be made GF. Not just noodle replacement but they adjust broth and other ingredients too to ensure GF. I had the chicken ramen so far but will go back. Pretty good as far as GF ramen goes.

Only downside is the insane price. 5$ extra for GF and with tax and tip you’ll be paying 25$ for ramen

Very good. Pricey, but $20 ramen is better than no ramen. Very popular, be prepared to wait.

Not sure if it’s a dedicated celiac facility but they are one of the only ramen places in the area that I know of that has gluten free ramen (and it’s AMAZING). However, expect a long line!!

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Oh my God. The GF chicken ramen was stupendous. But at 20 bucks a pop it’s a good thing I live in the SF Valley. Still a wonderful treat and something I didn’t think I could enjoy again being GF. Highly recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free & delicious. But ‘gluten free’ is $6 extra. Which brings the price of a bowl of ramen to around $20.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Although invariably crowded (be ready to wait) the GF Ramen options here are delicious and healthful! Order on the iPads outside and click on GF noodles,

Celiac friendly?

Yes

$6 up charge for really awful gf noodles. They have a strange gritty consistency, and feel like uncooked pasta. They also taste really off, almost reminiscent of the smell of play-doh. Rice noodles would have been much better, but I thought this place would give me a close-to-the-real-thing experience.

There’s gluten in all the proteins so no truly safe option if celiac (assuming this is a soy marinade). My intolerance allows me to have a tiny bit of gluten if I take an enzyme pill, but I didn’t end up eating much anyway. Pork tasted off and it wasn’t worth the glutening.

I ended up letting the person at the counter know the noodles were bad, hoping they just hadn’t been cooked properly, and he said “I know, they’re really bad that’s just how gf noodles are” and refunded the $6. Unfortunately, you have to order from iPads here so you lose out on the ability to speak with a server and be warned off initially.

The fact that people with health issues have to pay such a steep up-charge to eat is frustrating enough, but to charge so much for a product even the staff know is bad is really sleazy.

The search continues for the gf ramen of my dreams.

It's EXPENSIVE. Like scary expensive. And the gf menu is almost purposefully unclear. I wouldn't eat here if I we're celiac. I have an intolerance that's pretty symptomatic but I have gotten the traditional ramen with gf noodles and meat and been fine multiple times. But the menu is confusing and pretty much makes it sound like all meat options have gluten. So idk. I've been alright but this place is definitely a gamble. They tout gf and then once you're in the menu system they are a major let down. Good ramen, though.

The menu says gluten-free options, but there really isn't because there's no gluten-free protein. The worker basically told me not to order here

The have an option for gluten free noodle but the charge you $6!! Outrageous. Noodles are good but way too overpriced! I also think they get a little mushy overtime in your bowl.

-2021 update- NO proteins are GF and you still need to pay extra for half as much food. Unclear if broths are safe either. I’m adding my name ti the lawsuit against them.
