Menya Hanabi - The Original Nagoya Mazesoba

I went with a group and called ahead of time to ask if they had gluten free dishes and they were very competent in explaining that we can modify dishes to make them allergen friendly. Ordering was easy and they gave an option to indicate allergies. Someone also came to clarify which dishes were modifiable and which weren't. I ordered the Hanabi rice bowl and after the dishes were served, another person came by and explained that to make the dish gluten free, the tare had to be removed. He asked to let him know if the flavor was good, and came by to check later as such. This is beyond what I could have hoped for.

Stopped by over the weekend to check out and support their second location! I tried their Hanabi Rice Bowl since I've heard it is a good alternative to their noodle dishes if you think it is too oily. I loved it, and I do think it is a good option if you don't want noodles. I've also heard from friends who frequent the Arcadia location that you can ask for less oil if you feel that it is too oily. My mom is vegetarian and gluten free and she enjoyed their curry vegan rice bowl!
