🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free sushi
  • Gluten-free sashimi
  • Gluten-free soy sauce (provided for gluten-allergy orders)
  • House sake that is gluten-free

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contamination remains a potential risk even with good labeling and precautions.
  • There has been at least one historical report where a gluten-containing ingredient (tempura) was not fully avoided in a roll, prompting a manager’s apology and remake. This underscores the importance of communicating clearly and verifying gluten-free preparation at the time of order.
  • Ongoing practice appears to include allergy-marked menus and GF soy sauce, suggesting proactive cross-contact controls, but non-dedicated facilities inherently carry some residual risk.
