Had the most delicious dinner here! As a coeliac sometimes it’s hard eating out but the waitress was so helpful and informative with my ordering and it did NOT disappoint! So yummy :) highly recommend the karaage chicken….

Special note for dietary requirements: the menu was extremely detailed when it came to gluten free and vegetarian options, and the staff were also very attentive to this when we ordered. There was lots to choose from for our gluten free table. The menu also said that their mayonnaise and soy sauce were all gluten free too. We ordered chicken teriyaki, tofu, rice, sushi and vegetables to share - everything was incredible. The meal cost $106- for two people but we did have an alcoholic drink each as well. Great service and atmosphere. Thank you to the staff for a great evening.

Amazing meal at Sushi Train! Loads of gluten free and vegan options which was so nice, great service and tasty food.

Jamie Freese

They were very accommodating/knowledgeable to gluten friendly choices and were able to clearly communicate which dishes they could make for me. I had the vegetable rice noodles and they were delicious. It is a shared kitchen.

Izzy Byrne-Ladbrook

Delicious, I love this place. Soooo many gluten free things. They have amazing vege spring rolls (unfortunately not GF, but my flatmate bought and devoured 10).

Our waiter was outstanding, we missed his name, a gentleman with a bead, he was attentive but not intrusive. The 2 person tables were well spaced so you could quietly chat, the kings choice meals was brilliant, I usually have trouble finding food as vegan and gluten free, but this was expertly catered for.

This welcoming, family-run restaurant must have the most customer-friendly menu book in the entire city! The dishes are presented by category ... but each group is kept to just one page. Easy-read headings. Large text size. Simple, satisfactory dish descriptions. The food was all (?) gluten free. Our shared dish was delicious. It's a no-nonsense establishment with a relaxed comfortable vibe. When we were there it seemed like at least two tables were taken by regulars, which is an excellent recommendation. You'll enjoy it as much as we did.

Best chinese restaurant in town. They served really tasty and authentic chinese food. The only restaurant we would go for yumcha. There is a wide range of yumcha dishes to choose from. They can even provide yummy dishes for people with special dietary such as gluten free and vegetarian. Not only serving the best dishes, their customer service is a spot on! We always felt welcomed by the friendly staff at Maxine's Palace. Highly recommended to everyone! However, do remember to make a booking before going as they are always super busy especially in the weekend!

My new favorite go to for consistantly delicious meals that are also very generous portions and at a very reasonable price! So much variety on the menu and lots of options to suit gluten free diners such as myself. Staff are accommodating and friendly and service is very efficient. I highly recommend and look forward to my next visit and trying to decide what to choose 😋

Have been here twice now. Perfect food, great service and accommodating to gluten free. 100% would recommend. Definitely looking forward to eating here again. The charcoal Osaka meal is fantastic. Great music and atmosphere.

Great Sushi and very friendly staff, they even make gluten free Sushi!

Eilish Bamber-Sawyer

Booked in for 7.30 (an hour and a half before closing) service was perfect, so quick. Sister is coeliac so extra care does need to be taken. It was mentioned to our server, who didn't seem sure at first, but they confirmed by asking "so that's gluten free?", which is great! She had no issues with the meal, which makes it even better. All meals were super tasty and decent size! We will definitely be back!

Angela Wong

Great service from Haruka, Zoe and the team. Gave gluten free options too! Very impressed :) We will be back.

Lottie Fogg

Loved Kiki, have been wanting to get there for some time. Outstanding friendly service, the team are really good. Food is exactly what you expect. Checked out the gluten free menu, good selection and understand allergies. Lovely suburban feel, worth the effort. Highly recommend.

THE Thai restaurant to go to in Akaroa, and yes I’ve tried both. Really flavourful food, with vegan and gluten free options easily available. The generous scoop of ice cream afterwards was the perfect end to a lovely meal. The owner is so nice!

We just cannot fault this restaurant. Beautiful building, people and food. Awesome for gluten free/celiac, so many choices. Great prices too.

We are regular visitors to this restaurant. Food and Service are amazing. I am a Coeliac (Gluten Free) and Diabetic Type: 1 (Insulin Dependent) and they always make the food appropriate for me. Very helpful staff.

Great food and vibe. Friend had been to South Korea and he said this place took him right back there. Rice balls are a cool concept. Fried chicken, cheese corn, kimchi pancake all delicious. A few gluten free and vegetarian options

Earthlove Limited

Our new favourite sushi spot! We loved it here, the staff are friendly, the atmosphere was great (not sure if it was just because it was Christmas eve but there were candles on all the tables). We picked this place so that we could pick our own sushi and avoid waste, the plates, tongs and chopsticks were all reusable and the ginger, wasabi and soy sauce were all help yourself / plastic free. There were Gluten Free options (soy sauce included). We were thrilled with all the reusable options, especially the chopsticks! We would give 10 stars if we could and the only thing that would make it better would be reusable napkins so that the entire experience is completely waste free. Great work, Team Omi! We're looking forward to our next visit.

Ordered vegan dish take away. While eating I noticed what looked like egg!!! Yes they added egg to a vegan dish. Be careful as they promote being vegan and gluten free friendly.
