Sukeban

Fresh. Inventive but not overpowering in the sense that the ingredients themselves are really honored in the dishes. Clean, very sweet staff (they’re not overpowering either but very helpful) and - big bonus for me, a celiac - there were literally no restrictions, save for a quick swap of soy sauce for tamari. I repeat: I WAS TOLD I COULD ORDER ANYTHING I WANTED. Ordering sushi is tough for a celiac between the sneaky omnipresent culprits of soy sauce and imitation crabmeat. I had a roll with crab in it and wasn’t poisoned for a week because it wasn’t faux crab! It was real crab! I could have cried! The 90’s tunes made my heart sing, along with the beautiful handmade ceramic dishes. I love everything about this place and will be back a bazillion times (probably).

I was pleasantly surprised by my first Japanese-inspired dining experience. The delicious fresh food and the wonderful selection of natural wines was very refreshing. The friendly, attentive staff, management, and service personnel were very courteous and helpful. As a gluten-free diner, I was given a personal serving of tamari to replace the soy sauce, which made most, if not all, menu items available to me. I highly recommend this restaurant.
