What you can eat here

✅ Reported safe options
- Mango Tango roll (gluten-free version commonly offered)
- Bagel Maki rolls (gluten-free version)
- Japanese fried rice (gluten-free version available, prepared without soy sauce)
- Miso soup (gluten-free version noted by some diners)
- Gluten-free soy sauce available on request (tamari or GF soy sauce)
- Separate tamari or GF sauces provided in some visits
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which raises inherent cross-contamination risk.
- Some diners reported that sauces or condiments (e.g., ponzu with gluten) could introduce gluten if not carefully managed.
- There are accounts of miscommunication or lapses (e.g., a gluten-containing sauce being served; conflicting notes about whether a dish could be made GF).
- Several reports highlight that GF items are clearly marked and that staff can be knowledgeable, but consistency varies between visits.
- A few reviews note uncertainty about cross-contamination safety, especially with shared kitchen processes or when non-GF items are involved.
