I wouldn’t recommend coming here. Very few gluten free options. I also don’t eat beef/chicken and asked them to accommodate me by modifying a salad. The manager was extremely rude, walked off after I asked basic questions, and didn’t try to help at all. If I could submit zero stars I would.
Waiter seems knowledgeable and gf foods clearly marked on menu. There are only about 5 options on the menu though. Food was very good.
I told them I was GF. They said the food was GF. I confirmed that the food was GF. I started eating. THEN they came out and said that they were mistaken it it had gluten.

Wait staff was excellent. Very accommodating. Food was excellent. Loved it there
Gluten free menu was fairly limited. The sushi was the best part of the meal. I had the filet and it had a strange after taste. Not sure if it was marinated or not, but was not a fan. Steak was cooked correctly. My wife had the salmon, which was overcooked but thankfully not dried out. Service was spotty. All the staff seemed to be running around but did not see anything being accomplished, just seemed to huddle up in different places. This was our second trip to this restaurant and honestly not sure I will return to it if I come back to Baltimore.
Staff understood gluten & I felt fine after eating sushi rolls off the GF menu They have GF soy sauce
Pretty decent selection of gf sushi and a few salads. The yellowtail roll is outstanding.
Gluten free menu is really good. I do think I got cross contaminated, which is partly my fault I shouldn't have eaten where they prep with gluten.
Food was delicious but I felt sick to my stomach for a couple of days. I had filet mignon, mashed potatoes, carrots, crème brulee.
I tried it twice, asked all the right questions, ordered off the GF menu, and still got cross-contaminated pretty badly both times. I'm not sure how - I ordered the burger (no bun) the first time and a salad the second time, so it's possible that the pans they used or the grilltop are not clean enough. You're probably better off getting sushi or salad with no meat.
Sushi was average. Service was slow. Have a gluten free menu but not many choices for sushi. Disappointed.
Great place to go in Baltimore for someone with celiac disease or an intolerance. The sushi was fresh, gf soy sauce was great, fresh pickled ginger yummy. We really enjoyed the kona salad too. Dedicated gf menu makes things easy. Would be great if they offered gluten free buns instead of without options. Overall great place. I recommend it.
Delicious food, wonderful presentation. They have a dedicated GF menu that even includes a dessert! The fish is incredibly fresh. They are well known for their sushi (which I did nothabe), and there are several selections on the GF menu. They have a vegan menu, as well. Felt very safe eating there.
Great sushi and gf soy sauce! Really good happy hour deals too!
So happy we came here! Separate GF menu, GF soy sauce (!!!!!!), fantastic sushi (it really worked for me because I am a tuna freak, so I might be a touch biased), and knowledgeable staff (Austen was wonderful and ready to accommodate with some sashimi items that come with premade sauces!). I had the Houston roll, spicy yellowtail roll, and 2pc octopus. Houston roll was so good I split another one with hubby. Hubs had the avocado eggroll (not GF but smelled incredible), yellowtail sashimi w/ jalapeno (not GF, but pretty), and we shared the passion fruit creme brulee (amazeballs). Even the blackberry iced tea was great (actual tea, not tea with blackberry syrup). I am one happy, happy pregnant lady with a tummy full of deliciousness.
Puny gluten-free menu. The waitress told me I couldn't get GF nigiri, since it wasn't on the menu. What I did get was the worst sushi of my life and I live in Iowa!
The food was excellent. I had the ahi tuna and yellowtail tuna sushi. They were both amazing. The staff was very knowledgable. They had GF soy sauce for the sushi!!
Good selection on GF menu. Food was delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Kid friendly.
Everyone I talked to understood my gluten free needs. There are a decent amount of choices on the gluten free menu (yes, they have a separate gf menu). The food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back!
The food was good, service was friendly and knowledgeable to our issue. You just have to ask for the GF menu, as it's a separate sheet.
Knowing I could not eat the fries, the waiter offered me a salad. It came with 2 croutons. He offered an apology and to replace the whole salad. As I'm not super sensitive, I just removed them. This will not keep me from eating there again, but I will be sure to ask for no croutons.

I stick to basic sushi here. I’m personally not comfortable ordering off the kitchen menu. Sushi is okay.
They do mark GF , but the gf options were very limited. Only one thing on the menu if you are also dairy free.
Over priced. Too expensive and you’ll leave hungry. Very limited gf menu - essentially sushi or sashimi. They do not have Tamari so I just ate it plain. I won’t be going back…
I am a symptomatic celiac. I had the GF Cilantro Lime Chicken and I did get sick. Unless you have sushi, I would be wary.
