DOMODOMO Jersey City

Incredible gluten free experience at domodomo (New Jersey). The staff took time to walk through every dish that could be made gluten free. They brought out a Yellowtail nigiri with pickled peppers, which was easily the best sushi I’ve ever had. A few minutes later, the manager came over to let me know the peppers had a small trace of gluten. He was clearly upset. I told him my allergy isn’t severe and the small amount was fine. He checked in a couple more times and at the end of the meal brought us his favorite sparkling sake as an apology. Some of the best service I’ve had anywhere. If you’re gluten free, this place gets it.

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.
