I visited this spot after reading some great reviews on this site (thank you!) and I was not disappointed. The staff could not have been nicer and knowledgeable about menu items that could be created safely for celiac. she explained that there is a dedicated area in the kitchen to cook gluten-free and add the batter is made from nagaimo, an Asian yam. I tried the beef and octopus okonomiyaki and holy cow it was delicious. My gluten, full dining companion said this may have even been better than the gluten one. Yes, options are limited, but it’s a treat and something unique. Ask your questions and enjoy a great meal!

Menu is not labeled but our waiter walked us through what could be GF on the menu. They will cook items separately but it is not a dedicated kitchen. She was super knowledgeable and accommodating, labeled each item GF as it was brought to the table. There aren’t a ton of options but what I had was delicious! Great cocktail menu as well!

Side note: my friend is vegan (but not gf) and the waiter was so friendly and knowledgeable about what we could each have or share.

Had a great experience. Order the cabbage pancakes and they prepared them on a separate surface from the other items and used fresh bags of all ingredients to avoid any cross-contamination. Really impressed and a great experience.

Great experience here! If you let them know you have celiac, they will cook your dish on a separate pan to reduce cross contamination. Only flag is that I’ve gotten different answers each time on if the fryer for the mochi donuts is dedicated gluten free. I’d recommend asking before you order those.
