Asked for gluten free menu upon arrival, waiter asked specifics on if I had a wheat allergy or gluten sensitive. I explained I have celiac disease and they were very accommodating and made sure that no gluten products were in any of the food I wanted to order and prepared correctly. The cooks accidentally put my gluten free sushi roll on the same plate as my friends no gf roll, and before even coming out realized this and had a new roll made from scratch onto a separate plate so no cross contamination. They came out to let me know of this error and they were fixing it.. They brought out my own bottle of gluten free soy sauce special. Would absolutely go back as they clearly knew the need for no t just gluten free but no contamination either

First time ever eating sushi and it was delicious! They have a dedicated GF menu and the staff/chefs were very knowledgeable about GF. I was looking for something spicy but most spicy sushi is not gluten free. The chef reported that the hot popper is gluten free if they swap raw jalapeño for jalapeño tempura (fried). Chef’s changed gloves, cleaned the area they were preparing my food, and used ingredients from the back. If I could give 6 stars, I would!

Really good sushi! I order from here a lot for delivery and once I got Non-Gluten free soy sauce but it was prepackaged so I knew before eating. I always get the Philadelphia and a squid salad.

Best sushi ever. I went at a lunch and got their 2 rolls and a salad special! They also have plenty of vegan options too. My favorite is the green goddess roll! It is BIG and delicious. Waitress was knowledgeable and brought me gf salad dressing and tamari without asking!

There is a gluten free menu, and I’ve eaten here a few times. I feel fine afterwards.

I stay with the simpler items: nigiri and sushi rolls. So mostly just rice and fish.

Server was really attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Asked for clarification about whether I could handle cross-contact or not. I loved the food and the drinks were amazing too.

Separate GF menu, really limited (but still great options) compared to the main one so don’t torture yourself and look at the main menu first.

GF soy sauce, knowledgeable servers who can mark the gluten “allergy” for the kitchen - they change gloves and clean utensils / boards.

overall a delicious and safe option!
