They have fantastic gluten-free ramen. Important to note, the only truly gf option is the vegan (their proteins have gluten, even if you get the egg noodles). I ended up getting the pork ramen which was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately that was enough gluten to ruin my day (I can sometimes get away with small amounts but I'm assuming there was enough either soy sauce/binder/etc in the pork & sauce). However I do not regret my decision because it was that good - the broth was reminiscent of a ramen I had in Japan which was such a wonderful throwback and I was truly impressed to get that AND with gf noodles. The only issue I had was the edamame was a bit overcooked which was a bit disappointing, but really all I cared about was good ramen. I will definitely be going back, but I'll get the vegan option next time.

TLDR; make a reservation, dietary restriction friendly Coming in from out of town, we stopped by for dinner and even moved our reservation up because we arrived early. Our party ordered the Tuna Tataki Sashimi, Tomo, Margarita and a few other options including ramen. Everything was delicious and exactly as described. The flavor profile of the rolls was a treat and we didn't even use soy or additional sauces because it was such a perfect mix of flavors! My gluten-free friend had no trouble finding options from the menu and our server was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. This place is so much bigger than you think it is! When we walked in, there were only 2 tables open which we were concerned about but they walked us around the bar to the other side and there was a whole other dining room and a full bar in addition to the sushi bar! 10/10 highly recommend - bring your appetite!

Their vegan sushi was outstanding, and many items are available gluten free. They have gf soy sauce as well. I appreciate that more sushi restaurants are giving their vegetarian/vegan rolls the attention they deserve! Our service was pretty slow on a friday night and we had somewhere to be so it felt a little rushed in the end, despite allotting 90 mins for the meal. The food came out about 50 minutes after we sat down. I would still definitely return, just not with somewhere to be afterwards.
