One of the best gluten free sushi places I have found. They have a big gf section of the menu, plus really good teriyaki sauce that is too. One of the main things we go here for is the gf salad dressing.
The sushi rolls were decent, but the fish was great on the nigiri.
Tasty, healthy, affordable fast food. This is our go-to for takeout (eat-in atmosphere is blah). Great for anyone with dietary restrictions—it's easy to get a balanced vegan meal, or to avoid gluten (which they keep out of most of their staple sauces & mains). Zao is much better than most of the food available in this neighborhood (except Piko, which is a whole other ballgame).
Honestly the worst sushi I’ve ever had. The teriyaki steak plate was absolutely horrible (a pile of steamed, unseasoned veggies, old rice and a tiny piece of “steak”), the California roll was edible but the rainbow roll looked and tasted off like the fish was old. I’ve never had to force myself to eat sushi before. They do have good gluten free options though.
I feel guilty posting a review this bad about a local restaurant but the owner really needs to be aware how bad the food they’re serving here is. We’ve eaten at other Tsunami locations and they were pretty good but this one was horrible.
My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. Every single thing we ate was delicious and the service was great. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Can’t wait to come back!
Also I’m gluten free and they did have a gluten free menu and were able to accommodate changes to any specials I ordered to make it gluten free.
It's like Chipotle, but for poké. I like building my own sushi burrito and getting a boba tea. They offer raw, seared and cooked fish/meat. They offer gluten-free sauce options and are very helpful if you have no idea what you want to create. I was very overwhelmed the first time I went, but after the second time I knew what to do and what flavors I wanted. They were very friendly each time I have come with my family. The fish is fresh and the boba is fantastic. Don't be thrown off by the construction going on, they are open!
Food is always good. Atmosphere could be improved its cold and dirty. They have good gluten free and vegetarian options. Expect a 0.56 noncash surcharge for card payment. Prices a bit high for type of food.
We love Ekamai. Very friendly for gluten-free eating - we love that they are so fluent in this and can make almost anything on the menu gf. In addition, the staff is friendly, the service is great, the food is good, the portions and prices are very good. It's casual - nothing fancy, but a nice place to eat. In addition there is an outdoor patio & they even let our dog sit with us during dinner on the patio one evening. We're pretty loyal to Ekamai for Thai food in Salt Lake.
I've been here several times, but this is my first review for Tosh's. The first few times, I was just so happy to get real ramen, so I wasn't being judgy. Now good ramen is easier to find, and SLC has some great options. Tosh's is still a solid choice, but the obsessive attention to detail is gone, and we are left with good simple ramen. The noodles are excellent, and there are non-traditional options for those of you that don't actually like ramen or think that gluten is the devil. I had the miso ramen this time, which was nice, but light on miso flavor...more like 80% tonkotsu, 20% miso. I got extra chashu, and I'd say don't bother...better to get an extra eggcellent egg. I got nori, and it must not be a popular pick, cuz it was stale. The menma was yummy! I'm not sure if I will go back...it might be worth the drive to Draper for a better bowl.
Yellowfinn is a Sugar House gem serving exquisite Japanese food in an environment that exudes major neighborhood pub energy. I don't recall ever feeling more at home or authentically welcomed to a place on my first visit.
The menu is about 80% gluten free, so it makes it easy for diners with those issues.
I recommend the hamachi nigiri, Utah roll and tempura banana for dessert. The creamesicle saketini is perfect.
This is a place you need to try.
I haven't been here in a long long time. When they started providing tiny sauce dishes, raised their proces and watered down the broth, I stopped going, 10 years ago.
This time was much better, broth was good, I brought my own gluten free hoisen sauce and the amount of veg and tofu was great, and lots of noodle. My companion said too many noodles, but I didn't feel that's possible.
The service really felt contrived and even unpleasant. We did stay, with 4 other tables, 15 min into their lunch break, but banging our chairs with the vacuum and using strong smelling cleaners near us as we are trying to finish our meal was pretty passive aggressive.
Prices are ok, but I need to feel a little more love and appreciated when I dine in. I'm nice, I tip well, promise.
Also, just ask if I need more sauce, don't run away quicky and ignore the table for 10 min.
I had very high hopes after hearing about Kyoto. For years it has had a great reputation. Perhaps it’s just their teriyaki and tempura that is so highly spoken about…or maybe they just don’t have good gluten free sushi roll options. But we were very disappointed in the 4 specialty rolls we got. It’s also probably not fair that we just ate a few days ago at Uchi in Austin which is a totally different high end class of sushi. But we were disappointed all the same. The nigiri ocean trout was excellent, but I would rate all 4 of the rolls we got as below average (even for gluten free). We got the Kinkaku roll, Ichigo roll, Mai Zuru roll, and the Geisha roll.
We also gave the chocolate sushi roll a try for dessert. I wouldn’t recommend it either. The chocolate shell needed to be darker, and it had what tasted like Hersheys syrup on it, and the raspberries were overpowered by an overly sweet raspberry syrup.
I wouldn’t get them again. It’s a better bet in my opinion to go to Takashi, Tsunami, and even Itto.
If you’re looking for good sushi in salt lake I highly recommend coming to Sapa. Dan was our server and was amazing at accommodating me and my friends gluten allergy!
Very nice place for being in a airport. Food was great and almost reasonably priced but airports are airports if ykyk 🤷🏼♂️. Gluten free options. Portion size great we had leftovers for the plane. Service was great from a gentlemen with longer hair. Great place to recharge before our journey.
PS: My fortune cookie came true. (:
Asked the server about gluten free options and was told that everything could be made gluten free, so I ordered my preferred dish. When the chef came out he was clearly not informed of this until I spoke up, he was clearly shocked at what I had been told. He informed me I couldn’t have any of the sauces, the fried rice, the sauce that actually came with my dish, the soup, or the salad dressing.
I was told I’d get steamed rice instead of the fried rice, which never actually came. And I was told I’d get two salads without dressing, since I couldn’t have the soup, but I only got one. I was still charged for all of the courses even though I could only eat two of them, with no sauce or dressing.
I paid $50 for a bland piece of tofu and raw undressed vegetables. And I still got sick, and I had to leave early. Very embarrassing experience while out to dinner with co-workers.
Do not eat here if you have dietary restrictions. The servers are clearly uninformed, and they did not care about providing substitutions and still charged me full price anyway.
They CupBop location is super chill and quaint. The staff was really nice and helpful. The K Dawg was delicious. My son loved the cornflakes and ketchup on his dog! The Noodle Bop was yummy and just right for someone with gluten sensitivity.
Really tasty food. Some of the menu is gluten free. The server takes you seriously, even if they don’t know off the top of their head and have to go ask the chef
The server was friendly. But my husband and I ordered all you can eat sushi, and it took quite a long time for the first helping. In fact, I had to ask at the front desk where our food was. The sushi itself was good, though it seemed room temperature, neither cold nor hot (for the "seared" pieces).
My daughter and her friends thoroughly enjoyed their hot pot meals. But it continued to take quite long for our sushi orders to appear, and there was a 2-hour limit on sushi orders. Is it on purpose that it takes forever to be served sushi orders, so that one cannot eat much sushi in that time frame? Also, our drink refills tended to take a long time as well.
I want to give this place a good rating...it's hot pot feature seems very well run, but the sushi side needs work. Also, offering more gluten-free and dairy-free options would be nice.
Best wings in the area hands down. Seasoned well and crispy. You can tell they brine their wings because the meat inside is tender/ flavorful.. I got the cumin wings by staff recommendation..
House beef rice noodle soup was good, spicy tangy broth, beef was tender. I would recommend the regular noodles tasted better than the rice noodle but I do appreciate that there is gluten free rice noodle options.
Service was good and the ambiance was casual. I appreciate the lemon infused water. I will definitely come back for the wings and maybe try a different style noodle.
Awesome environment and staff, however their Pho is not good. The chicken tasted like it was from a can, they don’t have any veggies to add on or gluten free sauces. Overall probably fine but a bit or a let down. The broth was excellent tho. Also you order and pay your self.
They came and checked on me and made it right and said they are working on improving. Very impressed
My go-to Chinese take-out place! The food is always so good, fast, a great price, and I love all the customizations they offer (gluten free, brown rice, spice level, etc.). Best Chinese in Salt Lake!
Celiac friendly
