HINODEYA Ramen Japantown
Gluten-free options
1737 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
With an impressive range of customizable ramen options and quick service, this cozy spot delivers an authentic experience that'll keep you coming back.
I didn’t dine here but I called to ask if celiac friendly (it is not). GF noodles and broth but they use the same water for the GF and non GF noodles.
On the Bridge
Accommodating
1581 Webster St #206, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
This cozy gem on the bridge is known for its umami-packed dishes and a super funny waiter that makes the experience even better.
This cozy little spot 'on the bridge' offered a delicious dining experience with a super friendly (and funny) waiter. The Loco Moco was umami-in-my-tummy, ✔️. A gluten-free friend in our party was delighted to find something to eat as well in this otherwise gluten-forward part of town.
Ramen Yamadaya
Accommodating
1728 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
Discover a spot praised for its unique flavors and authentic ramen, including sought-after gluten free options that fans rave about!
Delicious ramen, cute 2nd story shop. Definitely satisfied my ramen craving! And they even had gluten free noodles
BANGKOK STREET Thai Street Food
Gluten-free options
1826 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
Authentic Thai spot where the dishes pack a serious spicy punch and every bite hits the mark!
Jitlada is really solid Thai food. Everything we’ve had there has been excellent - and when they say spicy - they mean it! For my gluten free friends - they can make most things gluten free - you just have to ask!
Marufuku Ramen
Accommodating
1581 Webster St #235, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
A popular spot with a small, well-executed menu and eco-conscious patrons might be disappointed with the plastic to-go containers.
Not safe for celiac, the broth contains wheat. Such a bummer but it all smelled great and the server was knowledgeable and honest.
