Edited Review: Great experience. They will make almost every roll gluten free and take caution to avoid cross contamination. The sushi was delicious and my server was very knowledgeable. So happy to find a sushi place to accommodate celiacs! Desert rolls were the best part!

Edit: So, they have been slacking on their gf game. I went 3 weeks ago & they gave me a roll that was completely deep fried… they are usually really good but it seems like lately they are making more gf mistakes. So sad.

We ordered four rolls to go and no problem. They were also very tasty.

They were knowledgeable about cross contamination and made recommendations.

The server was incredibly knowledgeable. The magic word was ”celiac” and she said”we can do most of the menu gluten free and make substitutions where necessary. We prepare in a clean area and use clean knives and fresh ingredients”. I felt very safe because she was so knowledgeable without me asking questions. I got the all you can eat for lunch and was so FULL! It was so nice to participate in that and it was a good deal! $28 for lunch. I even had a dessert roll too! 10/10 would come again. Did not get sick! I was so happy.

We went here two days in a row because it was so delicious and they took extra care to make sure our food was GF/celiac friendly. Any rolls that they couldn’t make GF, they plated separate and made sure we knew. The staff was also very kind and understanding.

They knew more about what sushi is gluten free than I did! You can ask them to make any roll on their menu “Celiac Friendly”! And of course they have gluten free soy sauce

They really get it here. Servers go out of their way to ensure your needs are met & are very clear about safety & cross-contamination. Chefs prepare food for celiac in separate areas. GF tempura available if you are not celiac, due to shared fryer. This place is awesome, especially for vegans!!! Love Kei!

Went with a small group for an office celebration lunch. Wait staff was very knowledgeable and she and the chef discussed my order at length. She returned with a concern and my order was altered accordingly. Everything was delicious and generally speaking this is probably one of the best places in Reno to get sushi.

The server was knowledgeable about gluten-free. However, the sushi chef was not. I was served a roll with tobiko, on request the server exchanged it. And even though they offer a gluten-free ponzu sauce, Im uncertain if it is or perhaps wasn’t used on my order despite the gluten-free request. As a result I had a reaction.

This place was amazing - the staff was very aware of GF and would point out certain items. The chef would even talk to you as he’s making the sushi and show you everything was GF. Excellent food and service!

This place is the best. They had so many gluten free options and could pretty much revise anything for me. They would even confirm with me each time they delivered food that it was gluten free. Amazing!!!!

This was by far the best sushi experience I’ve had as a celiac. We sat right in front of the chef/owner who was extremely knowledgeable about Celiac and had a separate prep station going for me. We had the all you can eat sushi and he was able to make any of the rolls gluten free for me. Excellent food, service, and conversation! Will be going back any time we are in Reno.

This was fantastic. I am highly gluten sensitive and did not get sick. When I mentioned my gluten sensitivity, the host sat me at the sushi bar in front of the chef so that I could talk to the chef directly. He was knowledgeable about their menu and even offered to show me the bottles of their sauces. They have gluten free ponzu sauce too! Most of the items can be modified to be gluten free (with the exception of the fried items - it is a shared fryer).Overall, a great experience. I would definitely go back - but I would also highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar.
