Gluten-Free at Tokyo Joe's

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

Soooo sick after eating here. It’s pretty dirty. Drive to any of the Ftco Locations instead

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food and attention to allergies. Gluten free teriyaki or soy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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 friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food and nice people. Not sure if celiac friendly but fun place to go. I’m celiac and I didn’t get sick but I’m nervous to say it’s celiac friendly since there’s always a risk when it’s not dedicated.

Delicious food, knowledgeable dude gave me gf info. I had the bahn mi bowl and had no reaction. Definitely recommend

Celiac friendly?

Yes
