Great experience! Immediately brought a labeled GF soy sauce to table before even ordering. Had a separate GF menu with a variety of options. The food was amazing! I had a spicy tuna roll and shrimp fried rice.

Really awesome! Full GF menu with GF items listed and substitutions described! Waiter was super helpful and able to answer questions. Also able to modify rolls for other dietary needs (ie remove cream cheese for dairy allergy). We went on a Tuesday and they had great drink deals and 25% rolls $10 or less! Had the veggie roll, the Japanese veggie roll, and the veggie fried rice. Really nice atmosphere as well!

Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. When making reservations it asks if there will be any food allergies in the party so when I sat down the waiter asked who the GF person was. They had a lot of GF options. I ordered the Green Monster with the sashimi sampler and shrimp fried rice. For dessert i got the Tsinful Chocolate Tsunami which was a warm flourless chocolate cake with ice cream and it was perfection. Had a wonderful waiter who was very knowledgeable about GF. Can’t wait to go back and try more options.

GF menu, knowledgeable server, nice ambiance, great meal! We had the Rainbow Roll, Tiger Roll, Japanese Veggie Roll, Toro nigiri and fatty salmon nigiri. All the sushi was high quality and delicious. We ended with the chocolate lava cake which was fine though not amazing but it's always nice to have a gf dessert option. They also have a gf mochi dessert.

They have a separate GF menu and make substitutions to make things gluten free. They even bring out a separate GF soy sauce bottle. The sushi was AMAZING. Highly recommend!

Excellent service. Whole team is very pleasant and accommodating. Gluten-Free menu is available. Food is reasonably-priced and delicious.

My only issue is a complicated dining process. A restaurant is a place you go in, sit down, get waited on, and eat. Here they have 3 different options.

You can sit at the sushi bar, which was closed when I ate lunch. If you sit anywhere near the bar, you don’t get a waiter and have to go up to the bar and be your own waiter. If you sit in the other part, you get a waiter, but I wasn’t able to sit in any of the empty tables because they have reservations coming in.

Both times I came in, it was very complicated trying to figure out the advantages/disadvantages of each of the 3 seating arrangements.

Had great sushi here. They have GF soy sauce and even dessert options. I had the flourless chocolate lava cake and it was amazing! Not many gluten free app or meal options but the sushi was good.

NOT CELIAC SAFE! We tested with the Nima - the sushi is Celiac safe (they apparently use sticky rice and not sushi rice). The Miso Soup is NOT SAFE! The tofu tested positive for gluten - enough said if you are a celiac. The GF sushi was fantastic. Thankful we tested the soup before we consumed.

Quite a few gluten free options. Hostess said she gave me the gluten free menu, but it obviously wasn’t. Waitress brought me the gf menu. These are the reasons we gave to annoyingly tell servers 50 times that we need gluten free.

Gluten free menu has seriously limited options. Sashimi was cut incorrectly which gave it a weird mouth feel/texture. Rolls were so so. Good sake list though! Overall very average and slightly overpriced.

Fantastic. Extremely fresh and tasty. Extensive sake list by the bottle. Very expensive but worth the spend. Have GF soy sauce too.

They had a limited GF menu (a few appetizers, a couple of entrees, and a selection of sushi - no tempura or “spicy” rolls) that was brought out when I mentioned to my waitress that I had celiac disease. They have GF soy sauce and several desserts (including a delicious flourless chocolate cake with ice cream - they left off the Pocky that usually comes with it). My food was delicious and my waitress was attentive and double checked everything with the kitchen staff.
