Poway Sushi Lounge

There is a separate gluten-free menu with many options that include specialty rolls, sashimi dishes, vegetarian rolls, and some small plates. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive to dietary restrictions. We ordered the ring of fire, spider, haji and crispy rice.

GF menu, but there is not a dedicated fryer, so most of the sushi roles cannot be eaten by someone who has celiac since the roles contain fried shrimp. Other than that, the sashimi and the non-fried roles are delicious! Also, there is a nice patio with heaters.

I had the worst experience here. They had the tables segregated by race. When we arrived there were empty tables at the front near the fire but the waitresss seated us with the other minorities on the side of the restaurant in the cold, glare and wind. A white couple came in after us and was seated an empty table by the heat with all the other white people. I can't believe I had this experience in 2021. This has never happened to me before. We got up and left.

Chuck Norris Roll was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Friendly, caring staff. Their gf menu is small but adequate for me. I prefer cooked sushi and they had some great stuff I liked. Nowhere to sit out with the dog so we took to go. They provided gf soy sauce and also other fun sauces that they out in the side. I really enjoyed it.

Nice variety of choices for the GF diner. They offer cornstarch fried shrimp but it’s made in a shared fryer so we skipped anything with that. The peppered seared ahi and Lemon Aid roll were both delicious! Many of the rolls contain spicy ingredients so be aware of that too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They gluten aware and have a great GF menu.

I've eaten here twice and have had success both times and no accidental glutening. The staff assure you that if you let them know you have a special need, they will prepare your rolls in a separate area. Their site says they do not have a dedicated fryer but they have crunchy rolls with rice-bases tempura on the GF menu. A little pricey but worth it for some tastey GF sushi! They also provide GF soy sauce. I will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I told the sushi chef I had celiac he assured me he would use a separate cutting board etc. There is a large GF menu including specialty rolls with sauces. Everything was very good and I didn't get sick.

They have gluten free
