IMADAKE IZAKAYA

When I asked the server about gluten fee options she brought out a separate menu with a short list of when they can make gf. This seemed optimistic except that I noticed that most of the items came off a grill. I asked if the gf items were cooked on the same grill as things with gluten and she said yes. That left me with only the salmon tar tar and edamame beans. I then asked if the salmon would be enough for one person for dinner and she assured me it will be plenty. What I got was a small teacup sized bowl with a little bit of salmon and three crackers - not a main course for sure. It was only ok in taste. My son and husband who are not gf said their dishes looked better than they tasted. After eating a number of dishes my son ordered a bowl of rice and was hungry. So the short of it is this resto is not truly gluten free, really expensive, and not especially good.

They have a handwritten list of GF options that makes clear what changes/substitutions will be made to each dish to make it GF (if needed).

Both the person I spoke to by phone ahead of time and our server were knowledgeable about celiac and cross-contamination. (In fact the server is gluten intolerant so very understanding!)

I had the edemame and tuna (different sauce than regular menu) with no issues.

I was with a large group who got a set menu but they let me order/pay separately.

Amazing, would definitely return!!
