MoMo Sushi & Grill

Based on all the good reviews I was excited to find a safe sushi restaurant in Branson. I ordered off the gluten free menu, but the server told me the crab stick was gluten free. I ordered it then later changed my order because it wasn’t on the gluten-free menu. She proceeded to argue with me that crab stick is gluten-free and she knew this because she worked there 6 years, but she did change my order. Before she brought our food she brought out a bowl of “gluten-free soy sauce”. I did not feel like the soy tasted the same as other gluten-free soy sauces I had, but did not want to question her after the last experience.

I have since read from other reviewers that some of the items on the gluten-free menu have small amounts of gluten. I am unsure if the reason I have been sick for a week is because of “low gluten” items or if I was given the wrong soy sauce.

They did have a gluten free menu and gluten free soy sauce but many items on the gf menu ended up containing gluten after the waiter checked with the chef. I ended up having fried rice and a cucumber roll. Both were very good but I was looking forward to a California roll (crab had gluten) and some salad ( ginger dressing had gluten).

This place was great! Decided to come here because of the great ratings and it did not disappoint! Our waitress even double checked that I could have everything I ordered and came back to help with other suggestions when I could have the soup (which was fine; I figured I couldn’t). Large portions and it tasted great!

If you’re in Branson, looking for gluten free, eat here!! I asked for a gluten free menu before we were seated. The waitress noted my gluten allergy on the ticket (before I even asked her to). She answered a few questions I had and was very quick to answer and knowledgeable. Every-time the waitress brought food to the table, she noted was was gluten free and what was not. There was no up-charge, that I could tell, on the gluten free substitutions (I.e. teriyaki sauce, soy sauce). I got the chicken teriyaki with fried rice and an avocado roll. Everything was great. I couldn’t have asked for a better dinner!!! Will recommend to all of my GF buddies and family. Thank you!

Amazing sushi! Gluten free and dairy free options! Some of the staff have allergies to gluten themselves so they were super knowledgeable. Just ask for a gluten free menu when you go or call!

We enjoyed our meal and felt good after eating there. They did have a laminated gluten free menu and gluten free soy sauce. We will go back.

Very good food and service! The waiter immediately understood our needs and was very accomidating. Very epic, would eat again!

Limited gf options but staff was knowledgeable. Beware of low gluten items per server. My Philadelphia Roll and California Roll was delicious and made gf. I had a salad but they did not have gf dressing... I will be back here and give them some ideas for gf Asian dressings. The fake crab is not gf.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I hate to break the chain of good reviews, but I had a disappointing experience here. I saw that people had rated it well and that they had good menu options, but that is not what I encountered. I told the waitress I had celiac disease/gluten allergy and asked for suggestions. They use imitation crab, which can contain wheat. When you factor that in along with avoiding fried ingredients, it took away about 95% of the roll options. The waitress also asked me if I wanted miso soup that contained "a little bit of gluten", which is not what I wanted to hear. Another reviewer said there was gluten free miso, but this was not offered. In the end, I found two basic rolls and ate some edamame which were fine and tasted good, but it was not the sushi experience I was hoping for. I wouldn't go back. It didn't strike me as a place with a lot of good options for return visits.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very accommodating for celiacs. Even had gluten free miso soup, fried rice, and teriyaki

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fast service, good food and a staff who understood the needs of a diner who is gluten free.

Gluten Free Sushi Rice, GF soy sauce on request, GF teriyaki, knowledgeable host and waitress. No GF menu but the waitress reviewed the menu with me and made good suggestions. The Teriyaki sauce is the less sweet, less sticky type and was quite good. The sushi was fresh. The edamame was well seasoned and hot. The salad dressing contained gluten and the alternate Ranch was made in a facility that processes wheat, but the lettuce was fresh and crispy so I ate it without dressing. If I ever visit Branson withy sister again (we both love sushi), I would eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
