Mikuni

Original review from 2021 listed below— the last few times I have gone, I have felt a little sick afterwards. We went yesterday and when I ordered and asked for an allergy as usual, the waitress said they were not able to do “serious allergies” anymore because they no longer have a separate area. Apparently the cross contamination risk is high as they use the same cutting boards and whatnot… she also said they have to say this now when someone asks about an allergy because a customer got sick a couple weeks ago

Staff is very knowledgeable and there is a separate gf menu. Make sure to specify for takeout to not put the chopstick/napkin roll in because it contains regular wheat soy sauce and can cross contaminate obviously if spilt, but the host at the end adds it to every order without checking for listed allergies. Best way for takeout is to order online and then call to let them know! Separate gf dedicated area.

Waiter did not seem knowledgeable about gluten free procedures. I ordered a simple roll from the gluten-free menu and I did not get sick. I was surprised to see an allergy flag on my receipt while leaving the restaurant. I guess the waiter did understand after all, but I would have ordered more had I felt confident in the ordering interaction.

We eat here often with my celiac teen. She has never had a reaction. This is one of the few places where a celiac can get GF Asian food. However, they are rigid about not modifying items on the regular menu for a gluten free diner (even when the hostess has suggested that modifications may be made to make an item GF). Although there are quite a few choices on the GF menu, my daughter has tried most of them and would like to have a bit more variety. Still, it is good to have a place to go where she feels comfortable eating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered chirashi (which is just sashimi over rice) and what arrived was a regular chirashi dish with the warning that some pieces may have gluten. I had ordered the exact same dish at Taro's in Arden and at Mikuni's midtown where they removed everything that potentially had gluten. Seems they are not as knowledgable at this location.

I'm celiac and never had a problem eating here. The GF menu isn't large but still a decent selection.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food and great service

This location is great and apparently someone with Celiac works there (that's how my waitress knew the watermelon liquor used in the watermelon mojitos was GF!), which I find reassuring. Also, the miso soup is now GF (!), and the GF menu changed and they took off one of the veggie rolls, but they still make it (the avokyu -sp?- roll). When in doubt just ask your waiter!

Very busy and find it kinda overwhelming due to the floor plan but still a good place! Love having a dedicated GF menu. Also the chef can do a gluten free chefs choice roll.

Gluten free section in the menu and everyone seemed knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. I was told there is a separate area for gluten free prep/cooking. I felt great after eating there.
