Gluten-Free at Tokyo Joe's
Japanese Restaurant
Tokyo Joe’s is my go to spot when I need to grab a quick, safe meal. This was my first visit to this location and they marked it as celiac. I loved my chicken bowl with yellow curry.
I have celiac disease and I absolutely LOVED everything. They have gluten free sauces, the meat and rice are automatically gluten free, everything is clearly marked! It made it easy and I wasn’t worried about cross contamination whatsoever. It’s also a nice atmosphere! If you’re in the area, check them out!
Items listed gluten free & they advertise they "do gluten free".
Ordered a bowl, specified to the team member that I was celiac and needed gluten free. Ended up incredibly sick that evening after eating. Somewhere cross contamination or the request was not adhered to. Will not be returning.
Ordered online and made a request for celiac/severe gluten allergy. Had no reaction.
I worked here for a while and I would not recommend it if you have celiac. There’s a high chance of cross contamination. *Very dependent on what you order and who’s working.
I eat safely at Tokyo Joes all the time at several different locations. They are pretty safe since they’re trained to change gloves, knife and cutting boards for gluten free. (JIC always indicate it’s Celiac/allergy so they flag it and know to take the precautions they’re trained to)
Many many options for a GF person, and very clearly marked on the menu. Additionally they carry GF soy sauce! It’s refreshing to be able to create so many custom options
Never had any issues. Their chicken is usually pretty dry but the flavors are good nonetheless.
Felt fine, have Celiac. Good food. Make sure you mention gf
Gluten-free items were clearly marked and they were also willing to make some modifications. The menu includes build your own bowls, poke, and sushi. They also have kids bento meals with protein, rice, and veggies that are gluten-free for $7.
It's good food and I love it, it's just I get a rice byob and I had some gluten contamination in my food so slight stomach issues
The food is good and fresh, with gf options clearly indicated on the wall menu. The wait person asked if I needed a glove change. What I'm not crazy about here is that the menu is split into build your own warm rice bowls or build your own poke bowls, and the toppings don't cross over. The server didn't want to let us put a warm rice bowl condiment on a poke bowl. It was kind of ridiculous. Otherwise, it was tasty, safe, and reasonably priced.
So many gluten free options. Quick and delicious.
Good food. The ahi salad was really yummy. Made special California rolls for my son who had celiac, no issues for him!
Dedicated GF
My son is celiac and we go here all the time. They mark his meal down as an allergy and take appropriate precautions. They have gluten free soy sauce packets, but you need to ask for it
I was very excited they had gluten free teriyaki! Delicious
Celiac friendly fast fresh yummy food heaven. Menu is clearly marked, lots of GF options. Employees are aware of allergy protocol, and if you order online from their website you can note allergies in the comments.
Dedicated GF
They worked with my long allergen list and checked each thing. All can be steamed and cooked separate and they told me what sauces I can have and made sure mine was marked allergy. Pretty good and fresh!
The food is delicious, most of it is gluten free, and the staff is super friendly and kind. I have never yet been glutened at any Tokyo Joe’s, including this one. Just let the server know you have a “gluten allergy” and the kitchen will prepare your meal taking every step they can against cross-contamination.
Food was tasty, however, I got very sick from it 😞
I eat at this location frequently and have NEVER been glutened. I always make sure to tell them I have Celiac. If I order online, I put it in the notes. The food is delicious, there are so many gluten free options, and the staff is super friendly.
No way to order GF unless you go into the restaurant. No gf menu on site and no gf mentions or options on any ordering app or site, including their own. Huge red flag.
Great food and knowledgeable staff. One of my favorite places when in the area since it’s a safe bet.
Absolutely delicious food!! I had the curry and spicy tuna rolls. GF items are marked directly on the menu. As a type 1 diabetic I also appreciate that they have ice teas sweetened with stevia. They can't guarantee no cross-contamination.
Had a salmon poke bowl and add ons that were labeled GF and that I know to be reliably GF. Server noted medical avoidance of gluten and informed prep person and asked them to change gloves. Food was fresh and good.
I came to eat here with a friend, and we were wondering what was taking so long with the food. When we asked we noticed they were cleaning their entire kitchen, just for me! No cross contamination. They were super accommodating and safe! I will definitely come here again!
I have eaten here before on numerous occasions but this is a first for me being gluten-free. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free options. The menu items that were gluten-free were clearly marked, and they gladly changed out their gloves. I will definitely be coming back!
if you tell them you have a gluten allergy they will get out separate boards knives and everything else they do a great job
YUM!!!!! Finally! A place that does poké and sushi without soaking the meat in soy sauce! So many options. Even some menu options can be modified to be gluten free. We just moved to CO and I’ve found my fav poké and sushi place!
Yum!! They do curbside pickup and delivery too!! They have gluten free soy sauce packets!! And many other things!
I used to love Tokyo Joe's. Whole, healthy food with plenty of veggie and protein options? What's not to like? However, since being diagnosed with Celiac disease, I've been to this location twice. Both times I was clear and polite about being a Celiac, and I love the fact that they even have GF teriyaki available. However, I have been very, very sick within an hour of eating lunch here both times. Maybe I'll try it again one day, but for now, I'm not risking it
I have celiac and another allergy. They didn’t prepare my meal safely. When we tried to resolve the issue, we were given a blank gift card as the refund. When I went to use the gift card, Ronnie wouldn’t redeem it. He said we write these types of things in a book. Then I tried to redeem what he said would be put into the book but he refused to make the situation right. Ronnie should be fired for being unprofessional and displaying poor customer service. I would characterize him as a person who discriminated against folks with food allergies. He would rather not do business with people with food allergies or take responsibility for his staff or his own actions. Avoid this location!!! My secondary allergy is life-threatening anaphylactic and it’s understandable that accidents happen but either reimburse people with a refund or comp their meal at the same value that they spent.
Soooo sick after eating here. It’s pretty dirty. Drive to any of the Ftco Locations instead
Absolutely love their gluten free chicken teriyaki bowl! Just tell the staff if you have an allergy and they’ll accommodate and change the cutting boards and gloves.
Good food and attention to allergies. Gluten free teriyaki or soy sauce.
Food was good but not celiac friendly.
I have eaten here 3 times without a reaction. I am a very sensitive person to gluten. The sushi is good enough, but I had a teriyaki bowl last time and it was also good. I didn't think I would eat it all but...I did.
Riverside isn’t known for its GF food, but I was pleased to find I had a lot of options here. It’s not the best sushi I’ve ever had, but when I’m traveling I’m pretty much just happy if I don’t get sick. They have poke bowls, bento boxes, and a variety of choices of sauces and proteins. I’d definitely come here again. This place is more of a fast food type of restaurant than a sit-down sushi place.
My food did not get me sick, but my brother did get food poisoning from the sushi. I would be careful eating here regarding looking out for things other than gluten.
Celiac here and always have good luck with this location. Menu is clearly marked and staff will take extra precautions if you tell them up front that you are celiac. Great staff who is always friendly and helpful. GF soy sauce is available.
This place seemed pretty good, I age here with no reaction! The staff was very aware of the gluten free options. I felt safer sticking to the rolls rather than trying a whole bowl.
Lots of gluten free options, everything is marked on their menu. Sushi staff washed hands and changed gloves before making a gluten free roll. The build your own bowls seem very safe and have very little risk of cross contamination because all of their grilled meats are gluten free and the sauces are kept separate and given to customers in to-go ramekins.
First time trying it and it was really good. They have tons of gluten free options. They did ask if it was an allergy so they can make sure to prepare it safely. They even have gluten free soy sauce.
