Top 50 Gluten-Free Asian Spots to Explore in Tokyo

The interior of the restaurant is filled with greenery and has a warm, homey atmosphere that makes it very comfortable to spend time in. It seemed like there were a lot of couples there. When I went around 4pm, I was able to get in without having to wait, and my food came out quickly. The seiro set meal had already sold out, so I ordered the one soup and three side dishes set meal. The amount seemed a little small for the price, but it seemed good for my health. They also sold gluten-free cookies inside the restaurant. I'd like to go again.

This place was so incredible, I couldn’t resist coming back a second time during my trip. The Dan Dan udon, curry udon, and mushroom tempura are all must-tries. Gluten-free food doesn’t always get the credit it deserves, but this spot truly delivers whether you’re GF or not.

I had a delicious gluten-free ramen. The broth was perhaps a little lacking in flavor for my taste, but I still liked it. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy a gluten-free option at Tokyo Station.

Has a gluten free menu and I enjoyed the prawn tempura

Maddie Horner

Tastes incredible and has gf options

Sapphire Suzuki

Fukuda was amazing with gluten intolerance, I could cry. He literally walked me through every item that I could eat safely. The food was also amazing! 10/10 would come back!

There's a very interesting story about me and this restaurant. I moved here almost one year ago, and as a gluten sensitive person, I was trying to find places, restaurants and cafes, that had GF options. Of course Soranoiro was one of the first reccomended restaurants, but because it's located in Hanzomon, an area where basically only salaryman gather, I never really had any reason to go, and I kept postponing, again and again, until I forgot. Flash forward to May, nine months later I'm working in Hanzomon, only for a short while, and I'm trying to find a restaurant who has at least one rice based meal option. Suddenly I notice that Soranoiro is just one minute away from my workplace! Life is really unexpected right? I wonder what is karma trying to tell me ahaha Anyway, the vegetarian ramen was great, and it's really easy to customise each order with gluten free noodles, I personally really reccomend Soranoiro to everyone, people that enjoy ramen and people that want to try new flavours such as vegetables ramen. The overall vibe is pretty chill too, and I really liked their background music. Just note it down that the only accept cashless payments~

Whilst not a traditional ramen spot and definitely geared more towards tourists it’s really nice being able to eat some gluten free and vegan spicy ramen without worrying about an allergic reaction. Really enjoyed a quick lunch here.

Benjamin Cawdery

If you’re gluten free you should definitely come here! If you aren’t you should come any way! The food was incredible and the staff were so friendly. And they were very kind and caring about my allergy. The atmosphere is great, it feels completely authentic. We loved it

Beatrice Carlini

Everything was perfect! Kureha was able to help me understand what I could eat without gluten

近藤良夫

It was delicious. The gluten-free set meal was a fairly luxurious one at a flat rate of ¥2,970 (tax included). We stayed there for exactly two hours, but the staff all gathered around each other and looked at us as if they wanted us to leave quickly.

Marvin da Costa

Realy good restaurant. Food was delicious and realy nice server. Especially the gluten free option was nice.

Sooyeon Choi

Please be aware. There’s a barley inside the rice. don't go there if you’re a celiac unless you want to eat only the curry without rice. We went there because it’s a gluten free curry. A staff said that you can eat only the curry without the rice. Because there’s barley inside their rice. So It’s not a gluten-free friendly restaurant 😅 I don’t understand why a. they advertise as a gluten-free curry restaurant if they cook rice with barley. This tells that they don’t know about a celiac disease. b. they can offer a plain white rice

A very popular shop with long lines for its top quality sweets and soup curry. A soup curry restaurant in Shimokitazawa that has long lines even on weekdays. The sweets here are also exquisite, so we also recommend using the cafe. I went with 2 people. Saturday, December 21, 2024 15:40 *Tandoori chicken and charred cabbage cheese curry Kokumaro coconut soup Spiciness 30 (extremely spicy) Topping Natto *Pistachio pudding *Bone-in chicken and 7 types of vegetable curry crispy chicken rich tomato soup Spicy level 6 (very spicy) Topping: burnt cheese *Rich terrine matcha Tandoori chicken and charred cabbage cheese curry Topped with natto and ordered for maximum spiciness. The viscosity of Kokamaro coconut soup is quite high. Is it because of the 30 spiciness? When ordering, the girl at the store said, ``Sa, sa, 30 spicy? ? ” and a manga-like reaction lol The charred cabbage roasted using a burner has an even sweeter flavor. The tandoori chicken is an authentic dish that has been marinated well and has a lot of flavor. Despite the spiciness that dominates everything, the cooking method and basic cooking are exquisite, and each and every ingredient is extremely delicious. I don't know if there is a tandoori oven, but this tandoori chicken has an outstanding taste. The coconut soup and tandoori chicken go well together. It's delicious even though it's so spicy that it melts your brain. Bone-in chicken and 7 types of vegetable curry Your companion orders it. In addition to crispy bone-in chicken, there are lotus roots, pumpkin, carrots, green peppers, broccoli, and potatoes. The soup is a rich tomato soup with a spiciness level of 6. Topped with charred cheese, the fruity sourness of the tomatoes and the deep sweetness of the onions really bring out the sweetness of the other vegetables. The complex spices such as cumin and cinnamon are added, and the secret ingredient, mango chutney, creates a roundness. Deliciousness with concentrated flavor and richness. The chicken is fragrant and has a crispy texture. The meat is perfectly tender and is a very elaborate dish. The large vegetables are cooked to just the right amount of heat and retain their freshness. A dish that shows the high level of cooking technique. pistachio pudding There are various sweets using pistachios, but pudding is quite rare. A pudding with an extremely rich flavor and smooth texture, made with generous amounts of carefully selected Italian pistachio beans. The sourness of the berries accentuates the flavor, and you can eat it in no time. A must-try for pudding lovers. Rich terrine matcha A super popular sweet that can be said to be the store's signature menu. A luxurious terrine made with matcha from Shimokita Tea Garden Daisen, run by the owner who holds the highest tea master qualification in Japan. The contrast between the milkiness of the white chocolate and the bittersweet matcha is wonderful. Add the homemade matcha salt that comes with it for a more mature taste. This is an artistic sweet. It was delicious and I finished it. “202 Curry-do” is a soup curry and sweets shop that will open in December 2021. The owner of the shop, which quickly became popular, is Mr. Hori, who is from Hokkaido. A talented person who trained at a soup curry restaurant for 13 years. The location is on the 2nd floor of Seijo Ishii near the Shimokitazawa West Exit of the Inokashira Line. The interior of the store is decorated with houseplants and dried flowers, creating a modern and calm atmosphere. There are three types of self-serve water: pink mixed berry water, pale yellow lemon water, and regular water. There are two types of curry soups to choose from: rich tomato and dark coconut, and the spiciness ranges from 0 to 30. Rice is usually large, small, or absent. There is also a curry called ``combination curry'' where you can choose your own original toppings, with a rough calculation of more than 1,200 combinations. The curry seemed to have an average level of spice. The best balance of harmony with the flavor of the handmade ingredients. You can also adjust the spiciness quite finely. And the sweets are also top notch. Our homemade soup curry is carefully prepared and pasteurized for each order. Original gluten-free sweets made with artistic and carefully selected ingredients. I am satisfied that LGBTQ people of all ages are supported. Not only for soup curry, but also as a cafe, it's very attractive and you'll want to come back again and again. A restaurant that is totally wonderful in terms of taste, atmosphere, service, attention to detail, facilities, etc. Highly recommended. #Sweets girls #Stylish sweets #Focusing on materials #Women's joy level is high #glutenfree #You can take out #The queue is endless #Relax in a calm atmosphere #Retty popular store #Shimokitazawa

Very good Hot Pot in All you can eat formula. You can choose whether to eat beef, pork or both, the price changes slightly. The waiters speak English and are very helpful towards customers. We were served by Sota and Masaya who were very professional! Suitable for celiacs, they are very careful about contamination, a great place!

Aster Peng

I stumbled upon this place accidentally, and was pleasantly surprised. I have been eating at all these other Japanese omakase restaurants that were very serious and quiet, so having an experience at a lively and boisterous place was a welcome change! The food was good and service was quick, would definitely come again. I am pescatarian and gluten-free, and I was able to order things I can eat.

Emma Mc

We had no reservation for a large group and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The sushi was exceptional. After 2 weeks in Japan, this was by far the best sushi we had it was spectacular. Cannot recommend enough. They bad gluten free soy sauce and a gluten free menu for me.

Carlotta Garbellini

I have coeliac disease and I had the opportunity to have a personal menu, one of my friend is vegetarian and was able to have a personal menu too. Amazing experience, thank you.

Ordered the lunch buffet. It is a system where you can choose whether you want one serving, refills, or unlimited. This time I only had one refill. For curry, you can get one refill of spinach, spicy foods, and many salads from the main dish. Coffee and rooibos tea are all you can drink. Tandoori chicken is limited to 2 pieces per serving, so it's plump, super delicious, and addictive. The udon noodles are smooth and chewy, filling and delicious. The curry is gluten-free, low-calorie, and has a nice spicy sweetness. It was delicious with steamy skinned potatoes. Payment can be made in advance at the ticket vending machine and PayPal is also available.

Lila Brown

I have celiac and went here for lunch yesterday. The food was INCREDIBLE and the atmosphere was so special. It’s a tiny restaurant, maybe 6 seats? And you need to reserve in advance. Each course was delightful and impeccably made, and you get to watch it being prepared right next to your table. I could not recommend this more highly.

2023,02,15　11 o'clock Visited while on a business trip Moyan curry that I have always wanted to try It's a ticket vending machine, but cash is not accepted at all. It feels like Tokyo I ordered a plate with one free refill. It's so delicious! It's gluten-free, so it doesn't feel too rich, but it has a rich, deep flavor. I want to go again if I go to Tokyo. Thank you for the meal! 😊

Bernie Innocenti

Delicious vegan dishes. We ordered the gluten-free omurice and the soy meat kara-age.

ima

The best shabu shabu in ikebukuro, eat as much as you can in 100 minutes. And with the option of GLUTEN FREE broth. They were very attentive, offering us rice noodles. On top of that, we were served by a super nice waitress who was a sweetheart named Haruka. We will return. Thank you so much

Lynn Sweet

There's GF Ramen, but speak to the staff first to make sure they're aware and that it's also in a broth that doesn't contain soy sauce

Adriana Carraway

Take it easy !

I had sukiyaki for lunch. In addition to the two types of meat, the shoulder loin and lean meat, even the supporting characters, such as the thin and elastic konjac and the chewy and flavorful wheat gluten, were especially delicious. Raw eggs are also delicious! To finish off the meal, we served egg toji which contained finely chopped garland chrysanthemum stems over rice. After passing through the noren curtain, we were guided to our room, and the heartfelt hospitality that made us delicious sukiyaki and served it to us in a timely manner was wonderful! thank you very much. Thank you for the meal.

R Sullivan

Very easy to order Gluten Free food (intolerant). We used google translate and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The skewers were great. The cheesy squid wasn’t my cup of tea. The bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes and Camembert were delectable

Imogen Griscti

We found this gem thanks to other reviews on Google. I am coeliac and brought my own GF soy sauce. They speak good English and are familiar with GF and were able to adapt the menu accordingly. The sushi was superb. We LOVED this place and thoroughly recommend.

Amanda Le

all the food was delicious - the grilled eel with cream cheese was delicious, and our tenderloin had beautiful marbling and was perfectly cooked. our server, thu was lovely and fun to chat with. they were mindful as my romance partner doesn’t eat meat, and I don’t eat gluten, they were able to accommodate us both without sacrificing flavor. highly recommend!

Jenny Baumgardner

Phenomenal Yuzu Ramen recommended to me by a local… so delicious! Hearty but surprisingly light. They also have kognac noodles as a gluten-free option. Workers seem genuinely happy to be there. Can’t wait to come back some day, hopefully sooner than later! 🍋🍜🤤

Staff was kind and accommodating to my gluten free request to make sure I was able to eat with the rest of my group. Food was delicious 🤤

Lynn Sweet

Let them know you're celiac!

Gal Chausho

Honestly one of the best and unique food experiences we’ve had! Staff were amazing and very accommodating even though one of us ate gluten free. Totally recommend

Albert Rudolph

Fabio Vicini

Nice place with a cozy atmosphere. They have gluten free soy sauce and they can understand your request for gluten free. However, you need to check with the chef the food when it comes to your table to guarantee there is no gluten by mistake.

Jeff Nadalo

Narisawa is a memorable restaurant that caters to those who have food allergies or have a special diet. My wife is vegan and gluten free and they gave her a wonderful experience.

Kellee Hollywood

We had the most incredible experience at Sushi Toshi! We're a bunch of ladies on a business trip with Enagic Kangen Water and we happened to come across this restaurant as we were looking for somewhere for dinner at short notice. A family from Sydney were coming out as we walked past and told us how good it was and we love a personal recommendation! Kento was so accommodating and our friend has celiac disease, so finding gluten free options has been difficult but not impossible in Japan. All of the food was made in front of us and we had a wonderful time, joking and having fun together. Excellent service, excellent food. Highly recommend! Say hi to Momoko (Dad) and Kento (Son) from us! (Kento speaks fluent English too). 🫶🏾

Brandon

Cool small spot with great curry dishes! Food has a homemade feel which was great after doing take out all week. Seemed like all the food was gluten free.

We tried to eat here a couple of times but they would only take reservations. We finally made it in for an early dinner and the staff was friendly. Bit of a ‘hotspot’ more to the posh side kinda dining. Glutenfree and dairyfree dishes were hard to find but we were able to order papaya salads, a soup and a curry. Most of it was quite spicy and tasty, but not outstanding. They offer organic rice which was a nice find.

Manolis Oikonomakis

Great food at the 50+ floor. The chef spoke very good English and he shared many insights about the food he was serving as well as about Japan overall. The chef was able to adapt the menu to be gluten free and had a gluten free soy sauce for me that I am celiac. I had the sake pairing which was also great. After dinner we went to the bar next-doors to have a drink and enjoy the great view. For celiacs: The chef prepares the sushi by hand so I would suggest that also the celiac person’s company (friends/partner) order gluten free menu to reduce the risk of cross contamination (although the chef was cleaning his hand after every sushi piece he made).

My experience at Afuri was really great. I had Yuzu Shio Konnyaku Tsukemen with slow-cooked chicken breast instead of pork belly. Normally, ramen noodles contain a lot of salt and wheat with fatty cuts of pork meat but this place offers gluten-free and vegan options for people who are health-conscious, and it’s tasty! I will come back again!

和顔愛語

I entered the store because I was interested in gluten-free and rice noodles. order tomato special I heard it's a little spicy by default. If you don't add spiciness, there will be no spiciness. Challenges are my ability to ask questions and communicate. Next time I come, I want to add more spiciness. It was crowded at 7pm with many foreigners. I had a hard time getting a hold of the store clerk. It took a while to order.
