Separate kitchen

So many gf options. Almost everything can be made safe in their separate kitchen.

Always a positive experience. I’ve eaten here MANY times. Missing their Yonge location during covid.... the sushi is the best and this is the only location with it. Highly recommend the taro spring rolls and the pad Thai!

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Terry and staff are incredible. We had our very first Celiac Dinner here on February 28th 2020. They go over and above. Thank-you.

Excellent food and all worry free and safe. I love coming here

Celiac friendly?

I hadn't had Sushi in at least 8 months (a travesty for me) until I went here for my birthday dinner. This was the best gift I could have gotten!!! I had EVERYTHING I normally can't have like tempura, miso, dragon rolls and more! It was so tasty!! And not "tasty for GF" but actually delicious. The GF menu is the same as the non GF menu. They have a separate kitchen and the plates are labelled GF so that you can order lots of dishes without worrying you'll eat the wrong item by mistake.

I will go back over and over! So happy to find this place and have already recommended it to many people including a co-worker who brought her celiac wife here for Valentine's and made her weep tears of joy!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely delicious!!! Totally celiac safe. They have a separate kitchen where they cook gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Riz is completely safe - no worries here. Prices are a tad higher, but I'm okay with paying for their extra attention, care, and training. As mentioned, they are certified for GF food service and even serve GF items on clearly marked plates.

You might get a food coma from The All You Can Taste experience, but not a gluten coma! Lol. There are plenty of options for soups, salads, cooked meats, sushi, dim sum, etc. If you're feeling hungry, it's a real treat. I've been in for A La Carte as well - although you get less variety, the quality is better. I'm so glad they exist and hope more Asian restaurants follow suit.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious. Safe. Staff knowledgable

Celiac friendly?

Amazing!!!!!! 100% celiac safe!!

Celiac friendly?

Everything is good, definitely tasty and they’re really fantastic if you have to eat gluten-free. Super nice and cautious. I’ve eaten several different things here and never had any reactions or problems from this restaurant ( Riz on Yonge). Thankful they exist.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So nice to find a restaurant with a certified gluten free menu, with a designated kitchen for gluten free...my wife was recently diagnosed and it’s nice to k ow she can come here and eat without worry

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I just called them. The Yonge St. Location is not moving. (Sept 16, 2019) We are happy to drive here from Brampton for the GF selection. My husband is not GF and he likes it enough to order their GF dishes to share.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have moved to bathurst and st claire

Simply AMAZING and certified gluten free!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is great! Very aware of gluten free diet. The menu had SO many gluten free options. As a celiac, I did not get sick here so there was definitely no cross contamination. They had awards for their gluten free certified kitchen. 10/10.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was the highlight of my most recent trip to Toronto. Our server was a funny guy, but made sure we got to try lots of stuff and didn’t ever hesitate to offer us more food. I went with a non-celiac, who ordered off the regular menu but the server put it in as GF wherever possible so that we could share. The chicken spring rolls are the BEST, so save room to eat lots of them. They also had a lot of options for GF desserts, just be aware that they are not included in the all you can taste price. I had a deep fried banana dessert with ice cream and it was excellent! If you aren’t familiar with pan Asian cuisine, maybe do your research beforehand if you want to know exactly what’s in your food, because there are no descriptions on the menu, just the names of the items.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had a wonderful meal here. Tried 8 things between 5 of us. Favorites included the mango salad, summer rolls and green curry. My 7 year old has celiac and a peanut allergy so I was thrilled to find a place on our travels to this area that could safely accommodate both so she could try more asian options! This visit was a highlight of our trip.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the greatest dining experiences I've ever had. The staff was wonderful and all the GF dishes came out on preprinted plates and bowls that said GLUTEN FREE. It was wonderful! Everything we had was delicious. We chose the GF Tasting Menu and were floored at how ample the portions were. I've never been so full in my life. I got to eat things I haven't had in years like... egg rolls and chicken noodle soup. They also handled vegan for my husband like champs. I cannot recommend this place enough. (Note: I'm writing this review the morning after we ate there and I didn't have any reactions to the foods. I feel great this morning!)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gluten free options - even an all you can eat buffet!! The food was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful. The plates were even marked Gluten Free to differentiate from non-gluten free ones.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I can’t say enough amazing things about this place!!!!!!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious and safe. I like the food there quite a bit. I went there twice so far and felt great after. No issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is amazing. Especially the owner. They never fail to make you feel at home when you are there. It’s definitely on the upscale side but it’s my favourite restaurant. I go there by myself or with friends all the time. I have had celiac disease diagnosed 12 years ago and I am completely gluten free and have never had any cc issues at Riz on Yonge or Bayview. I Recommend the “riz popular crispy beef,” the name says enough.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We ate from the All you can taste menu. It was delicious! All the plates are labeled gluten free so you know that you received the GF version.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The GF “all you can taste” lunch was such a wonderful and generous gift to the GF community. They are wonderful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious, flavourful and safe food! We will be back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful! I gorged myself on dumplings and no symptoms afterwards. We ordered the gf tasting menu. We'll be back.

With their dedicated GF menu eating here is very easy, and they have lots of options that I have never seen gluten free before which was fun.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It's a real pity, the food is yummy. I got sick the last two times that I ate there from cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

As a highly gluten sensitive couple, it was so great being able to enjoy a safe meal at the Yonge street location. Since we never thought we would be able to have authentic dim sum again, it was quite a treat - the har gow and lotus pocket were standouts. In fact, we were so blown away that we had dinner there twice during our four nights in Toronto! Terry, the owner, was extremely gracious and went out of her way to make us feel safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food! Staff very knowledgeable

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is amazing! Gluten free rolls with tempura are delicious. Fantastic gluten free menu

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very generous and knowledgable about gluten free. Been here twice and they are great. They even label their food as gluten free. Full gluten free menu! Even dim sum! Going to have my parties here!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow, just wow! The menu is gluten free right off the bat, all plates are marked gluten free right on them. I stuffed myself lol, it was so amazing to be able to eat Asian cuisine and not have to worry!! Thank you for existing !!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Riz on Yong is a CERTIFIED Gluten Free Restaurant that is 100% SAFE for Celiacs but more importantly provides DELICIOUS dining options that are hard to find - like crispy shrimp tempura - dim sum and fried options!

The TASTING menu is the way to go - suggested by our incredible and kind server Veronica - it allowed me to eat my way through the menu, trying a variety of items with out having to pick just one thing.

TOP CHOICES:

- shrimp tempura - because it's crispy! Hard to find!

- coconot peanut chicken - creamy, smooth and FULL of flavor with no gluten OR dairy - used a coconut milk base

- dim sum - delicious rice or bean based wraps

- seaweed salad - because why not!

- spring rolls - husband loved these, but I am not a fried food person, so these were not my favorite

Veronica was attentive to my needs and checked in on me frequently offering insight on what to pick next

CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK - three hour drive was worth it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I totally love this place. Amazing all you can eat lunch for a little 20$. Sushi is great and they have a great variety of gf Asian food options. Try the fish it's amazing! Beer is good. I go everytime I visit Toronto. Best place for celiac!!!

loved loved loved the food here! I had the all you can taste Gluten free menu. it was amazing! it's just that everything comes out of the kitchen so fast, it's hard to keep track. thanks for the identified plates though! you just have to trust afterwards! but I didn't get sick, so I guess they really got this! they're also certified by the gluten free association or something like that. I definitely recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here is SO GOOD. My husband is celiac and I am vegetarian and we struggle to find places to eat together in the city. (Though honestly the celiac is way harder to accommodate). They do serve food with gluten but have a completely separate kitchen for gluten free and all gluten free dishes come out on plates that say "gluten free" on them.

I think we prefer Riz on Bayview to this one, because he loves the fried calamari, but it's pretty great to be able to find gluten free sushi (which they don't have at the other location).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic. The manager Terry is the best. Very helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING! Love the all-you-can-taste menu options. Definitely recommend for sushi lovers. The deep fried banana and ice cream desert is to die for!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food! Very knowledgeable about Celiacs. Owner states that she has a gluten free food service certification from the GIG. They serve you with separate dishes that have gluten free labeled on them. Parking can be a challenge!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing service and really made us feel confident in their knowledge of Celiacs

My two celiac daughters both got quite sick from cross contamination here, even though we had eaten here previously without issues. I am staying away until they sort things out. Too bad.

Celiac friendly?

No

Amazing gf menu. Food is served on plates printed with 'gluten free'. Delicious food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is the most amazing restaurant I've been to since being diagnose with Celiac disease. Finally a place that I can truly relax and enjoy my meal! Wonderful dim sum, sushi and Thai. So grateful to have found this!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely fantastic gluten free menu. All you can taste is worth it. Make sure to try the spring rolls.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Being Gluten Free for just 2 weeks after diagnosis with Celiac there have been many shocks, like finding out my local sushi place uses wheat in the rice to make it stick... Thanks to this app we found Riz and were shocked at the efforts they put in to support those of us with issues to gluten. Luckily it wasn't just an amazing effort to remove protect from gluten, it was amazing food, we did the taster menu and tried over 15 dishes that were all excellent. Thanks "Find me Gluten Free!"
