Amazing restaurant! Love all their GF options. One of my girlfriend’s favorite restaurants. We love everything about this place. The ambiance is delightful, cocktails delicious, and sushi delectable!

I had a great meal here! They do have a caveat on their menu about food being prepared in a shared kitchen space, but the waiter was attentive, brought us gf soy sauce and a separate menu, marked the order as gf and assured us it would be handled separately, and I did not get sick. The food was all delicious and they had tons of gf options and vegan sushi as well!

I have a mild tolerance for cross contamination (never *yet* had an issue with a shared fryer, but many issues at various pizza places with “gf” options). I say this because I can’t speak for everyone, but Blue Sushi & Sake warns that they can’t guarantee a lack of cross contamination. For my tolerance, I did not have any issues, and hopefully that gives a little context in this review.

Onto the food itself. They have an entire gluten-sensitive menu. This menus had multiple starters, and raw rolls (not just a 3-item menu for those who are gf). The alcoholic drinks are also noted when gluten free (though they don’t list any gf beer options at this time).

The sushi was delicious. The waitress warned both manager and cook staff, and every plate that they brought out, they said it accommodated my gluten allergy. They were also able to change the sauce used in the gringo roll from the main menu, to a gluten free variation (using a non-spicy sauce).

After I let the waitress know about my allergy, she brought out a gluten-free soy sauce in its own bottle (first time I’ve seen that at a restaurant).

The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars on safety is because I’d only give 5 stars to a dedicated gluten-free facility where there is no risk.

Overall, very highly recommended sushi restaurant.

It’s a great Sushi restaurant with good quality and very GF aware, though they warn of possible contamination. So probably not ideal for Celiac but good for Gluten-intolerant. It’s a big space which can be helpful for big group events that include people that are sensitive to gluten.

Been here a few times. They are careful about CC, despite their “gluten friendly” claim. That’s just to protect themselves but I have never had an issue here. Delicious food! One of my faves in town.

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.
