Had my food delivered, it was gross. GF means they just apparently remove all taste from the food. It was bland and awful. And then, we got sick. Avoid.

My daughter is very sick after eating here tonight. We are very disappointed. We even asked that they cook her food on a separate grill to avoid cross contact with the shared grill at the table. They brought what they claim was gluten free soy sauce in a separate bowl to the table after my daughter requested extra soy sauce. She said she did not think it tasted like gluten free soy sauce. After my sister in law initially booked this family dinner, we read the reviews and were going to suggest a different restaurant. Now we wish we had listened to the poor reviews and not eaten here. My poor daughter said she hasn’t been this sick in a long time.

They assured us the whole table would be prepared gluten free to avoid cross contamination and had us sign waivers. As soon as the chef started cooking he prepared part gluten free and part with wheat soy sauce. When we expressed concern, they saw no reason why we couldn’t eat it.

My daughter with Celiac ordered sushi and it was great. They were very knowledgeable about separation protocols and assured us that they have a separate GF sushi counter. We have only tried it once, and my daughter did not get sick.

We let the server know we had someone with celiac disease and they were very accommodating. The whole restaurant uses gluten free soy sauce and they have gluten free fried rice. They offer to cook the meal seperate in the back. Very good!
