I’ve eaten here twice and both times staff have been knowledgeable about my allergy and double checked the kitchen to confirm everything I ordered could be made gluten free. As dishes were brought out and placed on the table they announced what the dish was and that it was gluten free. The menu was clearly labelled with gluten free symbols explaining that the dish could be made gluten free upon request. We had the fish Carpaccio, the shrimp pad Thai and the crispy whole fish( they use a potato starch to make it crispy). Everything was delicious!

The gf options were clearly marked on the menu. Staff were all knowledgeable. The food was so, so good: put the fork down between bites good. I had the Angry Lobster and could not recommend it more.

The food tasted amazing and the server filled out specific allergen cards for the kitchen to notify however I’m very sensitive celiac and was uncomfortable after the meal. I got the shrimp pad Thai and fish carpaccio. I didn’t have all symptoms but I was extremely bloated.

Super yummy! Had the edamame, Freud garlic green beans, fried rice and garlic shrimp. Green beans were a little bland without the szcheuan sauce, but when I asked if they had any gf sauce, our server asked the chef and he mixed up something that tasted amazing (and my Mom said was similar to her gluten sauce). Added that sauce to the fried rice as well…so delicious. Service overall was lackluster but the food was phenomenal.

Besides the amazing service, Morimoto Asia made my favorite meals on the island. Fried rice, spicy tuna on crispy rice, & pad thai are GF. They asked if I was sensitive to cross contamination & made sure to use fresh woks, change gloves, etc. All 3 bartenders even researched special cocktails for me to make sure it was safe and I was comfortable! Above and beyond! Go here!!

I have a gluten and dairy allergy, so my options were a little more limited. I had the edamame and shrimp fried rice which were both fantastic! There were other gf options, but I wanted to play it safe and was very happy with my choices. Servers were very knowledgeable and I was comfortable that my food was safe. (I am very senditive.)

Morimoto Asia has clearly marked gluten-free options on the menu, and the waiter went through all of the options for my niece. Meals are fantastic, as expected from Morimoto!
