DOMODOMO Jersey City

Gluten UNFRIENDLY - Nestled in the Jersey City Arts District, this sushi spot is one of the few in Jersey city which claims fresh sushi. However after dining there today inquiring about Gluten free options we were told that 1) Almost all their food is pre made in the morning - very limited items are prepared fresh 2) the Chef does not support customizations even for food allergies. The wait staff was not knowledgeable of the menu and had to check with the kitchen on multiple times just to advise what was gluten free. Even items like oysters which are naturally gluten free cannot be prepared gluten free as all oysters are shucked in the morning and pre made before the restaurant opens including all topping. When asked if it was safe for oysters to sit out all day the wait staff shared they are pre-made and sit on ice. The sushi is delicious if you are not Celiac but I cannot advise the oysters either way based on the staff’s preparation comments.

I've been to the NYC location and this one is a close 2nd. Nice addition to JC. Extremely fresh food and great atmosphere. They tweaked dishes in order to be gluten free to accommodate Celiac Annie where ever needed. Overall great experience and the best Japanese in the area. Nice selection of beers and do not leave without trying some sake. The servers were very knowledgeable and offered great recommendations.
