Delicious pho! I have celiacs and this is the only place I've found that has gluten free pho that's actually gluten free. Their attentiveness to this makes Sai Wok my Vietnamese restaurant of choice. I also love the murals on the wall and the bustling atmosphere. It's a great restaurant with delicious, safe food.
We had the opportunity to try Sushi House, and we're really glad we did. Finding a spot that works for both my sushi cravings and my wife's gluten-free needs can sometimes be a challenge, but this place handled it like pros.
The vibe is definitely more casual with servers yelling from across the room or bussing dishes at breakneck speeds, perfect for quick lunch bites. These guys are like a well-oiled machine getting people in and out quickly. It seems like their sweet spot is specialty rolls-think fun stuff like eel rolls, caterpillar rolls, dragon rolls... Lots of deep-fried options. It's not necessarily where you'd go for super traditional, high-end fish cuts, but it excels at what it does.
The biggest win for us was how accommodating they were. My wife is gluten-free, and they had solid options for her, including making her New York roll gluten free friendly. Good on ya Sushi House! Plus, since she's pregnant, finding tasty cooked options was key, and they delivered. I went for a classic eel roll, which was really good too.
Nice touch: they bring out complimentary miso soup (which was also gluten-free – bonus points!) and a couple of starter rolls when you dine in. Always appreciate little extras like that.
Overall, we had a great experience. The food hit the spot, the service was thoughtful regarding our dietary needs, and the atmosphere was chill. We consider this a 5-star visit, and we would love to try more of their traditional nigiri and sashimi options once my wife can eat raw fish again.
If you're looking for creative rolls and especially if you need gluten-free options handled well, give Sushi House a shot.
We love this place and have been there many times. I love that they have gluten free options. It's one of the few places I can eat at in Siloam Springs.
We normally love Kemuri and have long trusted it as a safe place to eat gluten- and dairy-free without incident, but today we had an uncharacteristic experience that I feel needs to be shared.
We had a reservation for 8:00, and when we arrived the restaurant was full except our table and very busy. We were seated on time for our reservation and our waiter quickly came to take our order, but everything after that went a bit sideways. We knew what we wanted when we sat down - edamame and a gluten- and dairy-free Kemuri Platter - and ordered when the waiter came by to get our drink order. He was up front with us about not knowing much about what ingredients are and aren’t gluten free but made sure to note it on our order and told us he would trust us to tell him if something wasn’t right.
It took over 30 minutes just to get our edamame, and around an hour to get the platter. When the platter arrived, there was tamago nigiri on the plate, and the two rolls had multiple ingredients containing gluten (tempura, eel sauce, and crabstick), which we did not catch until I took a bite of one. Our waiter didn’t come back for a while after, so eventually we each took a turn to try to go find him to no avail. When he did come back, we let him know about the rolls, and he immediately informed the manager. The manager came to our table and was very apologetic, pointed out that the tamago was also not gluten free, and said she would have the head sushi chef remake our rolls. The new rolls came out very quickly, but were obviously very hastily thrown together. One was filled with so much cucumber that it was comical - there were some pieces of the roll that had double the cucumber compared to the amount of fish. One of the rolls also came on a bed of seaweed salad, which is not gluten free. We were given two extra pieces of nigiri as well, which we appreciated, but my wife could only safely eat one of the rolls due to the cross contact with the seaweed salad. We had been there far over an hour by that point and just decided not to worry about it a second time, and I ate the roll she couldn’t eat.
At the end of the meal, we expected to maybe have something taken off the bill for the inconvenience, but ended up paying in full. It didn’t feel worth arguing over the price of the bill after everything. I also want to note that we noted on the reservation that it was our anniversary, and it was not acknowledged at all - no one asked if we were there for a special occasion or anything and did not mention the anniversary part of the reservation. We did not leave feeling good about our visit or future visits to the restaurant during busy times.
Kierstyn was an excellent server and the sushi chefs were all friendly and wonderfully talented! We got the Alaskan King roll, Bourbon roll, and AOI choice roll and they were all amazing. It was our 2nd time dining at this restaurant, this time celebrating our wedding anniversary. They were very accommodating to our gluten free needs. We will definitely be back!
IN LOVE with the metalhead roll! The server is so nice! They have gluten free soy sauce. And all the rolls are customizable. So you can take out the cream cheese or whatever if you can’t have it. I wouldn’t go here if you’re looking for a traditional roll. They’re all rock ‘n’ roll themed.(obviously)
