Zen Box Izakaya

Stopped in here on a weeknight for dinner, and it was okay. They have a gluten sensitive menu that’s pretty small, so it doesn’t take much time to order. I had an amazing blueberry ginger drink called Tobutori and I’d recommend getting that. Then I had the GF grilled salmon appetizer and the GF tofu teriyaki donburi bowl. The grilled salmon was pretty good, but the donburi bowl was pretty flavorless and the tofu was mushy. I might go back but just for drinks.

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Average

I called ahead of time, and was told they had a separate gluten free menu. The staff was very helpful, and the food was delicious! They had an amazing blood orange cider on tap, as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate gluten free menu, not very many options but I’ve never had trouble with tofu skewers and a chicken donburi bowl.

The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free items. Many items on the menu could be made GF. We had chilled edamame with GF soy sauce and it was delicious. Would highly recommend for a date night or family night out.
