What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Trust Me (the Trust Me box) can be prepared gluten-free by omitting all sauces. This approach is repeatedly referenced as a safe path by diners who need to avoid gluten.
- Plain sushi rice is noted as gluten-free in several accounts, particularly when not combining with gluten-containing sauces or components.
- Important: there is no standard gluten-free sauce provided, so diners may need to bring their own tamari or soy sauce if they want dipping options.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination remains a theoretical risk, even with careful ordering. Diners who are highly sensitive should communicate clearly and verify that sauces are omitted and utensils are managed to minimize gluten exposure.
- A recurring practical limitation is the lack of gluten-free soy sauce on hand; many reviewers advise bringing your own tamari.
- There is at least one note that certain sauces or brines used in some dishes previously contained gluten (e.g., a specific scallop dish) and newer practice may shift safety for particular items. This underscores the importance of explicit, current staff confirmation for any item.
- Most positive reports emphasize knowledgeable staff and careful customization, but the variability in sauce usage means ongoing vigilance is needed with each visit.
