I had a great experience here tonight!
My waitress was super knowledgeable and reassuring when I told her about having celiac and the concern of cross contamination.
She assured me the kitchen was making a clean work space for them to prepare my dinner. Also told me their sushi rice isn’t gf so they would use kitchen rice for my rolls so it would take a little longer.
The firecracker shrimp app is made with tempura but they did it on the pan and it was unbelievable!!!!
Miso soup gf
And we’re able to accommodate a lot of rolls to make it gf depending on sauces and what not.
They also have gf soy sauce !
And amazing atmosphere
We decided to try Maru again for the first time in a few years last night after a friend with a sensitivity said she had a very positive experience. Sadly I did not. Server did not assure me at all every time I would ask if something could be made gluten free “yeah I’m sure they can make it so they will be” well, after asking if the roll that I was about to eat was for sure gluten free, and being assured that yes it is, I was about 3-4 rolls in until he came back to tell me that it actually wasn’t. It was a sauce that they still included on the roll, so not even something I would have known visually to be suspicious. Their solution was to “let them know if I start to feel weird” and asked if I wanted an allergy pill? No, I’ll just be dealing with the side effects for weeks because the server couldn’t care enough to check BEFORE I consumed my food, even though I repeatedly ordered everything as gluten free and even checked! All I can say is, if you go, hopefully you get a better server who actually cares and I know I will not be back because it’s just not worth it. Sushi is also just okay to be honest
I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The waitress was very well-informed about the seriousness of celiac. She assured me that they took extra special care in preparing their meals for customers with dietary issues. The food took a little bit longer than usual to arrive. But when it did, it was worth the wait. Delicious! And no negative reactions several days later

I’ve been a couple times and felt reasonably safe. Their regular rice isn’t gf so be extremely clear that you need the gf accommodation due to an allergy. They don’t have a ton of gf sushi options, but the choices they do have are delicious. Also, they sometimes boil edamame in the same water as udon noodles, so if you want edamame, ask for them to be boiled in fresh water. Again, just be very clear about your allergy and you should be ok. They do mention at the bottom of their menu that sesame seeds could contain traces of wheat, and they put sesame seeds on EVERYTHING. I’d ask them to withhold sesame seeds.
