Knowing that everything is safe for me as a Coeliac made the experience and delicious food even better. I’ve been twice already and I’m sure I’ll be going back.

Ramen is delicious! They have rice noodles for gluten free. They also have Sapporo on tap, Two Brothers gluten free beer and few other gluten free options as well. Ramen are huge. It gets very busy on weekend nights but service is fast. We ate sitting at the bar and it was fun.

Rachel Dawes

Excellent authentic Viatnamese. Entire a-la-carte menu is GF. Ordered the Bún Chả Hanoi with spring rolls, delicious!

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Kaleigh Dolan

Wow! Food was incredible. We went for restaurant week and the menu was very pork heavy, but so delicious. The Pig Face dumplings were the best bites of the night. The restaurant week menu is so much food, you will leave stuffed. We added on the Crab Rangoon which was incredible. Freshly friend puff pastry with real crab, I would go back just for those! The dessert is not too miss either. We had a gluten allergy in our party and our waiter (Dan) went above and beyond in accommodating her, we will definitely be back. I got a tequila cocktail "Pink Panther" (?) and I would skip it next time, nothing to write home about for 17$.

Sasha rodriguez

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

Marlene M

Really good, healthy options, generous portions, gluten-free and vegetarian options too. Alex was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely eat here again.

Japanese BBQ spot with a separate GF menu and GF soy sauce!

Grace Joshua

Awesome gluten free sushi!

Leon Rishniw

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

this was the most delectable experience ever!! all the food was so fresh it felt like i could taste its source. my friends and i were taking photos of our amazing meal and then…the manager comes over and asks if we would want to tag them in a post with one of their desserts on the house!! of course we agreed and not only was the dessert amazing but it was also vegan and gluten free along with many of the options on the menu. my friend who is vegan and gluten free and she said there was plenty of options for her and the staff was extremely accommodating! our waiter also went through the menu and explained everything in through detail since it was our first time. so overall 100/10 experience!!

Megan Benjamin

A lot of gluten free options! Quite delicious, though some dishes are a bit small compared to others. The soup is easily 3 portions.

Amie Krueger

Gluten Free Goodness after a show at the RIV! Sorry I was so hungry I forgot to take pics. They altered the brussels sprouts to make them gluten-free and they were amazing! I got three tacos: a chicken, steak, and duck. I ate the duck first because not everyone does duck very well and I didn’t want to end with it, however, I should have because the duck was the best of the three. The chicken was my second favorite, and I could have done without the steak… It was too well done and not much flavor. However, my friend did get a steak and that looked fabulous. The service was great, and the ambience was dark and charming.

Paul Rzepka

Nice place with a separate gluten free menu and lunch specials. Something for everyone with sushi and Italian in one restaurant.

Jeremiah Perkins

Amazing restaurant with a lot of options for gluten free and veg food. Try their frites and cucumbers!!!

Natalie Foster

We came here because my SIL has Celiacs disease and they safely prepared her meal and answered all our questions politely. 10/10 service

Maria Alejandra Meneses Giorgi

This was one of my best experiences in Chicago, the food is awesome, the waiter was super kind and helpful when explaining the gluten free options and the vibes and music are amazing. Highly recommended if you are around the River North area

marissa hussey

as a party of 5 we ordered marinated cucumbers, crab rangoons, dry-fried green beans, combo fried rice, dry chili chicken, sweet and sour shrimp, and gluten free rolled noodles! we all ordered different cocktails and loved them all - smoke rings was delish. we had a gluten free friend at the table and they were great about allergies! with a cocktail + 7 plates + dessert it was less than $50/each. cant wait to come back and ordered as many new dishes as possible. flavors here are incredible!

Callie Bunker

Similar essence to a chipotle but for Korean food. The food was hot and fresh. The pork belly was incredible. Gluten free items are clearly labeled on the menu. You can either order at the counter or at the ordering kiosk. Will definitely be back to work my way through the menu!

My husband and I ate dinner here on a Sunday and had a pretty good experience. I have gluten and dairy food allergies so I wanted to make sure I could get gluten free rolls and I was able to. The hostess was clueless and couldn’t even tell us if there were gluten free options, nor could she bother to put in the effort to hand my husband a menu when he asked. I wonder how many people with gluten allergies have not stopped here because of her since she was working during both our treks through the airport. Other than her terrible attitude, the waitress was very sweet and attentive and reassured us that the rolls could be made gluten free and the chefs were good about gluten allergies. She did mention that any of the rolls could be made gluten free and I believe the bowls can be gluten free also. We ordered 3 rolls to share (2 gluten free) and I had no issues at all. The portion size was large and the rolls were good- much better than supermarket sushi as other reviews have commented. They even had tamari. There wasn’t a lot of noise from people walking by and the chairs were pretty comfortable as well. If we have another layover at O’Hare while traveling, we will definitely be stopping again!

Gabrielle Kamil

Outstanding vegan restaurant. I especially enjoyed the green curry and the gluten free dumplings. I wish I lived closer. I'd come every day.

Michal Aharony

Great food, excellent service. Many gluten free options. I loved it! Highly recommend.

Diamond Nelson

Food is great. I love that they have a gluten free menu. However, I believe the restaurant should allow for other dishes included on the regular menu to have gluten free options. For example, I wanted shrimp and broccoli dish but gluten free. Although they mentioned it would be an easy thing to do, the workers mentioned the owner does not allow it.

Stephen Hochreiter

Breakfast bowl was able to be made gluten free enough (no biscuit) to be celiac safe! ALL staff were friendly! Well mixed breakfast beverages. Good coffee.

Anna Aschliman

Siam Country is one of my faves! They have gluten free options, which as a celiac is so appreciated. I honestly order from them once a week, and it’s always fantastic

Tami Jo Dukie

The first thing you're going to notice when you walk into this business is the aroma, it is so wonderful, it smells absolutely incredible in here! The next thing you're going to notice is how easy the menu is. It looks effortless, even though it was obviously curated over time with great care and precision. There are options for literally everyone. The gluten-free offerings are extensive! They are incredibly careful and gracious. If you have a food allergy, the staff is very well informed about which are the safe foods and which are not. If you are celiac, they did not make us feel in any way like an inconvenience or a problem. The food here is absolutely incredible, as are the chai drinks. We recommend this place all the time! Really hoping that this place is always here, because they never, ever disappoint.

William Hu

Admittedly pricey even for a raw vegan restaurant, but overall fantastic raw vegan food! I'm also impressed that they even changed the pizza to make it gluten free using Cassava! My only complaint, albeit a big one, is I wish they used maple syrup or monk fruit instead of agave nectar. Best raw vegan restaurant in Chicago hands down!

Went for a weekend brunch and got their famous burger. For a near $30 burger, it is a tad disappointing that fries aren't included or even on the menu for brunch. Burger had great flavor, but the sauce and toppings really carried most of the flavor. The meat itself was on the dry side. Also tried their coconut pancakes. Very heavy on the coconut flavor if you like that, but because it is gluten-free, expect the denseness and dryness that comes with that territory; not even the syrup could help 3/5. If you have some cash burning a hole in your wallet and a hankering for strong drinks and decent food, go try this place out.

Madalena Alves

Very good sushi, lots of variety and different takes on sushi, and plenty of other food for non sushi people. Great for gluten free

molly barbian

Our server Zach was super attentive and helpful! Was extremely helpful with our friends gluten allergy! Also made us a great sauce with soybean paste and green onions, chefs kiss ✨

Ann Elizabeth-Nagel

We loved the food! It was delicious, healthy, and best of all, gluten-free (I have celiac).

Everyone loved their food. I am gluten free and there was one option. It was spicy for me.

Food was great! Lots of gluten free options! We had the crispy tofu and it was very crispy! Love love loved it! Drinks were good too!

Marie Green

Lily Freemond

Great experience! I eat gluten free for an allergy/celiac reasons, and the food here was great. I told the waiter I had an allergy, and he assured me that they could avoid cross contamination during preparation if I needed it, which i did need. I am so grateful, as I know sushi can sometimes not be done gluten free and I felt very safe and happy here! Thank you so much !

Genevieve Scheele

Excellent food and service! I appreciate the gluten free options and they were helpful with me and my wheelchair.

Ingrid Flechtenmacher

I've been coming here since the old location across the street, and it makes me so happy to see how successful they've been since expanding. I was diagnosed with celiac, so it was difficult trying to adjust to the fact I couldn't have everything from the menu anymore. Our waitress is one whom we have seen around for awhile and she was so kind in letting me know some of the rolls could be adjusted and made gluten free. She even brought gluten free soy sauce for me and gave reassurance (without me asking) that the rolls i got were made carefully! 🥹 I love it here and would recommend anyone, Celiac and non-celiac, to come here! For sure my favorite place in Chicago! 🍣❤️

Jennifer Gage

Thank you for being so aware of food allergies, especially gluten and dairy. Really good and so many options!

Daron Neal

Food was great. I love that they are able to make most items gluten free! It’s so hard to find Asian food with a lot of GF options here. The people I was with (who are not GF) also enjoyed their food!

*Also posted on the Find Me Gluten Free (app)* My partner (celiac) and I went to this location last weekend. Everytime we eat out, we tell the waiters of my partners celiac and 2 weeks of pain to help paint the picture and ask for the gf menu. Luckily, their menu was already marked so our waitress said those should be safe for celiacs (though I now see others here that said their waiters said it was not safe), there is not a dedicated gf fryer, and that they’d let the staff know. Even though they said that, the way they said it came off like they didn’t super care, so we’re unsure if the staff actually does have these safety discussions. Which sounds like they don’t take cross contamination seriously, since my partner did get sick. Which is quite a bummer since we really enjoyed the food and the vibes of the place. We were going to definitely become repeat customers if it was safe, since it is in our area, but we will not be returning. For just a food-based review, there are a good amount of options labeled gf where you can have a good, quick meal. The sushi itself is not the fanciest, but it curves the cravings and it’s right for the price point (~$10-$20 per roll). We loved the taste of the one pink (highly recommended) signature roll. We ordered 4 rolls total for 2 people. Again, take that all with a grain of salt since it’s not actually gf safe.

Very kind staff that explains things well and is knowledgeable about gluten. My husband and I shared a large bowl. The only difference between regular and large was the scoops of protein. Delicious flavors and plenty of sauces are available. The staff knew which toppings contained gluten and offered to put them to the side in a separate dish for my husband. Small inside with a few tables to eat in. Chair and booth style seating. Clean bathroom.

Jasmine

Such a good neighborhood spot. My boyfriend and I went here twice on our week visit to Chicago. We appreciate that they took a lot of care for his gluten allergy.

Grayson Robinson

Great gluten free ramen and fast service!
