Celiac safety profile
Umami
Japanese Restaurant
202 38th St, Pittsburgh, PA 15201
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Sushi and sashimi can be prepared GF by using tamari soy sauce instead of standard soy sauce.
- Robotayaki can be gluten-free when cooked in a separate oven and with a different sauce.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not advertised as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is inherent cross-contamination risk typical of non-GF facilities.
- Edamame reportedly boiled in the same water as noodles in at least one past instance, which is a potential cross-contact risk.
- Positive practices offer some mitigation: sauces added after grilling for skewers, and substitutions or separate-oven preparation for certain GF-friendly items (e.g., robotayaki) reduce, but do not eliminate, risk.
- Overall, there are strong indications of celiac awareness and targeted adaptations, but the lack of a dedicated GF facility means you should communicate clearly with staff and verify current practices on arrival.
