Great food, gluten free, vegan options, good environment, will visit again!

Great food, all gluten free (I have celiac disease, and this takes away all stress over cross contamination), and casual. It is an easy place to stop at and get a good meal that doesn’t weigh you down but satisfies you at the same time.

Went here with a group. I had a small dog and it was raining. Couldn’t eat indoors so we ate outside and it was freezing. The heat lamp took a while to work and it was still freezing. The food was good. Vegan and gluten free options. The vegan Laing was good. Staff was nice. Just wish we could’ve eaten inside. Otherwise the food was good. Will come back another time. The staff was helpful with question. Our server made suggestions and ate the food on the menu which was helpful. I want to suggest the bigger heat lamps and not the hanging ones. Price was comparable to food in New York. Decent portions that you can share. Will be willing to try other things next time.

Ordered take out and the restaurant manager was so helpful with dietary restrictions (celiac: gluten free). Everything we had was so delicious- very fresh flavors and great combinations of flavors. Will definitely be a repeat customer

Alyssa Woods

The menu is well marked for allergies. I order takeout and come here fairly often and never get sick as a symptomatic celiac.

Stephanie Willcox

Service was excellent - I have Celiac and the waiter knew the difference between being gluten free and celiac immediately noted that the fried items are cross contaminated. Very knowledgeable about the wine list. Excellent Indian food! Some of the moistest boneless chicken tandoori I’ve had! Will come back!

After 3 days of hiking all over the District of Columbia we found ourselves in the dim, cool confines of Absolute Noodle and sushi. Wonderfully friendly staff seated and took care of us throughout the visit. Plenty of gluten-free options, I opted for the choo chee salmon, which was delicious. My wife got the crispy chicken basil and said it was the best version of the dish she's ever had. Our daughter practically inhaled the sushi.

Eden Romeo

Words cannot describe how blown away I was at the flavor of this food! Each dish felt like it was made personally just for me, which matched the way that the staff made me feel with their care and service. As a gluten free person, I also felt totally safe here!

I had a delicious meal here this weekend. They have a gluten free menu and it is much more limited than their regular menu but there were still very tasty options. I had the winter salad, the kimchi jjigae and the 30 day kimchi side. It was delicious! I also enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Fun place!

Galina Ioffe

Me and my daughter had dinner at this restaurant yesterday. I am very sensitive to spices and usually do not go to Indian places but my daughter convinced me to go. What a lovely experience we had. The waiter was very attentive and gave me very good recommendations, the food was delicious, flavorful, the service was impeccable. It's a little overpriced but the atmosphere and attention to details do justify it. I highly recommend this gem restaurant even to cautious and gluten free people ( like me)!

Was just told they so severely can't accommodate food allergies or celiac we were asked to leave.

Teona Goderdzishvili

They serve a tiny piece of salmon, raw broccoli, and cold sweet potato and rice in a bento box—for $17, before tax and tip. Not worth it. The matcha is only available sweetened, which defeats the point. Also, don’t expect gluten free options. Save your money and go somewhere that doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.

Good pad Thai. They noted my need for gluten free (I’m celiac). Garden rolls were good too. Nice outdoor seating in good weather.

Kate Mitchell

We celebrated a friend's birthday here and everything was so delicious. We were especially grateful for how thoughtful and helpful the staff was for my friend's gluten allergy (she is celiac). Great spot for anyone, but definitely gluten-free friendly :)

Andrea S

Loved this dining experience! Nigiri was perfect and room temp, which made it melt in your mouth. We got the panna cotta dessert at the end, too, which was the perfect amount. All gluten-free! Chefs were lovely ☺️

Jenne Acevedo

Good GF chicken pad Thai with some gluten free options on the menu. A few GF appetizers and entrees. While I liked my meal, it had a fishy taste to it, which I found odd, but not at all bad. The regular pad Thai on the menu is with shrimp, so I wondered if that might be why. This little place is next to CityCenter. Great location.

I had an incredible dining experience at Dear Sushi inside Love, Makoto. The sushi and sashimi were absolutely top-tier—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The wagyu hot stone steak was another highlight: incredibly tender, cooked to perfection, and served in a way that added a fun interactive element to the meal. I also appreciated that they offered gluten-free friendly options, which made the experience even more enjoyable and inclusive. The ambiance is sleek and modern, matching the high-end dining experience. Expect to spend over $100 per person, but the quality of the food and overall experience make it well worth the splurge. Highly recommend for a special night out or for any sushi lover in DC.

Chris Kellett

Gluten free options available here! Authentic Thai and worth the walk from the metro! The Panang Curry with chicken was delicious and lots of chicken.

Katie Gantley

Great gluten free labeling on the menu and options! We get dinner here every other Sunday. Highly recommend!

Great affordable sushi! They also have gluten free soy sauce, and the waiters are very knowledgeable about which rolls are gf, etc.

Nene Lisa

This place is lovely. Quaint, quiet and intimate. My friends and I had brunch here. We each ordered a different dish so that we could share and try something different. Everything was delicious! The gluten-free injera was so authentic and flavorful with the Ethiopian veggie platter. Our sushi was fresh and the Gyudan and Japanese curry accompanied with salad and miso soup was all soo yummy. Oh, and you have to try the mango smoothie...yum yum. The service was wholesome- like being at your grandma's house for dinner. I definitely recommend this place.

We have in the past had several great experiences at restaurant. My wife, who has a gluten allergy, and I had made a reservation many weeks in advance for a dinner event last weekend. I noted her gluten allergy on the reservation. A member of the restaurant staff called me two hours before our Saturday night reservation to advise that they could not accommodate us with the allergy -- without any concern or regard for the lack of notice and the impact this would have on our dinner plans. I spoke to a manager who also offered no help at all. I wrote to the restaurant's management via the web site and they never responded. It was all very poorly handled. We will not be going there again.

Julianna Greenberg

Fantastic food, went with a Vegan and Gluten-free friend and she had several options to choose from. We both loved everything we ate!

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I ordered a gluten free entree and they loaded it with egg noodles. It is completely irresponsible for a restaurant to offer gluten free, ring up the entree as gluten free, and then prepare the entree with gluten. This restaurant will make me sick now as I didn’t realize the egg noodles were in the dish until it was too late. The owner tried to explain to me what soy sauce is, but soy sauce was not the issue—there are egg noodles in the entree. Do not eat or order from here.
