They are fantastic! I can't have gluten, eggs or dairy. They have tamari instead of soy when requested and ensure everything they give me is safe. I love them! The food is delicious and people there are warm and kind. Excellent food quality and service!

Wonderful place to get sushi and some other options - soup, skewers, some noodle/rice dishes. Right off the bat, the staff were very knowledgeable about celiac and proactively described how to take care when preparing a dish without gluten. It is awesome. The servers know how to modify sushi to be gluten free, even if it isn't listed as gf. My partner has celiac and she's eaten here 3 times the last 3 weeks with no issues whatsoever. It's a new staple for our household! Add on top of this that the food is delicious and the atmosphere is chill and fun. Couldn't recommend it more highly for celiacs.

Lots of options and they’re delicious! They do not use wheat-based rice vinegar in the sushi rice and they have fresh wasabi too! (Some wasabis have wheat)

Ordered takeout. Staff on phone was knowledgeable and very patient. Many dishes are marked GF but many others can be made GF. For example, they can make spider rolls with corn starch instead of tempura. Delicious food. All of the take out containers were marked and labeled with ingredients and GF. They also gave a bonus edamame for free! They can give you GF soy sauce. I would recommend for celiacs craving sushi!
