Completely separate prep area, fryer, etc. Celiac safe :) So many choices for GF dishes, and great!

James Burwash

Authentic Thai food. For lunch we had Red Curry perfect size. My wife had Pad Thai large portion. Great staff. Great service. Our friends from Ottawa recommended this place when they visited Victoria the eat here cause of great food and Gluten-free Will come again on our next trip. The spring roll was flaky and excellent. There appeared to be five servers at lunch time.

I explicitly asked for gluten free noodles due to an allergy, the cashier misunderstood and made gluten noodles. Spoke to owner and they weren’t willing to remake or refund :(

Jenna Wenkoff

I ordered pick-up and told them over the phone that I have Celiac Disease and needed them to avoid cross-contamination. When I got home I realized two of the dishes were deep fried. I called them and discovered that the two dishes were deep-fried in the same oil with gluten. Going forward I hope they remove the 'gf' label next to foods that are fried in a contaminated frier, and train their staff to tell customers with allergies about the frier. No hard feelings, I just hope this review helps!

The Tan Tan Ramen has the most delicious Vegan Mushroom broth and can be done with Gluten free noodles!!!

I ordered gluten free and they had great options! Very patient and basically made me a custom one. Really good flavour and size! Im surprised they dont have 5 starts all the way

Samantha F.

My friend and I had a great meal here! The staff are very concerned about the quality of their food - which was delicious - and the service was wonderful. I have to order gluten-free and was happy to learn they have many different options for anyone with gluten sensitivity so I’ll definitely come back to try other dishes.

I finally got around to trying sushi from Matsuri and it was amazing. Everything was freshly made (and you can taste the difference), the staff were wonderful, and the prices were fair. They have quite a variety of gluten free items which can be hard to find for sushi. They were also very knowledgeable and let me know what was and wasn't safe for celiacs. Definitely will be going back!

Best sushi place in town, I have a gluten allergy and their gf gyoza is BOMB af !!!! They’re always so nice and sweet and the vibes are cool and good! Favourite take out in Vic for sure <3

Lain Dekowny

Always a fantastic experience. Our server was fantastic with our dietary restrictions (celiac/wheat protein allergies) and made perfect recomnendations.

Jessica Leslie

We went during happy hour so the menu was limited but the food was delicious. Highly recommend the pot of miso soup, very tasty. Items are clearly marked if they are gluten free.

My partner and I stopped here on the first night of our anniversary weekend at the suggestion of a friend. The atmosphere of the room was incredible, and all of the staff were very welcoming. We sat at the bar, and the bartender, Riley, was more than friendly, helpful, and accommodating. My partner is celiac, and he let us know what our best choices on the menu were. We ordered the Omakase Shokado, which is a chef-crafted selection of small, separated plates (great for celiac separation). When our food was delivered, the manager gave us a full rundown of everything on the plate, ensuring what was celiac-safe and what was just for me (non-celiac) to eat. The spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and salmon oshi were also incredible.It was a fully enjoyable experience; everything from the food, drinks, atmosphere, friendly nature, and celiac accommodation was above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back.

We went on June 21 for the first time. It's friendly and comfortable. The staff were kind and helpful. We had Pad Thai with chicken, a red curry and coconut rice. It was all delicious and generous portions, all gluten free. The decor is old but I don't mind that at all. There were young families and seniors in the restaurant. It had a great neighborhood vibe.

Jazzy Carey

Only place i have found that has gluten-free spring roll. So delicious!

EVELENE LITTLE

We took our grandson for an early dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. There was a gluten choice of noodles which many places don’t have. Upon leaving, we forgot our umbrella and they were so kind that after almost over a month, they still kept it for us. Very friendly staff

Jan Burdyny

This place is a hidden gem with the best sushi in Victoria. Even better, our kids were recently diagnosed with celiac disease and we were delighted to find out that this restaurant can safely prepare gluten-free sushi as well! Our kids are highly sensitive and react to even tiny trace amounts of gluten, so when they were first diagnosed we thought we wouldn't be able to keep eating here (and we were very sad). But then we found out that they're one of the few local sushi restaurants that can actually cater to gluten allergies and/or celiac! We've now taken our kids to dine here and they didn't have any issues. The staff are consistently super friendly and helpful. They seem genuinely delighted to help their customers; once when my youngest daughter was a toddler and my hands were full with her, I even had a staff member carry my takeout order to my car for me! Last time we visited, we were even gifted some fun kids' chopsticks to practice with and take home with us. Definitely a wonderful family friendly restaurant staffed with lovely people! If I had to pick one top favourite local restaurant, it would be this one :) Thank you for being awesome!

Curtis Canada

Great food and a bunch Gluten free options. Their Japanese GF beer was excellent

Heather Penney

Really yummy authentic food. Wonderful choices for Gluten Free dishes. Great service.

Andrea Barragán

So very good, very fresh and excellent texture for vegetables. We ordered the prawn fried rice and Ginger chicken with vegetables with a side of plain rice. The flavours of the dishes mix very well. For dessert we had the Chef's special Mango sticky rice with coconut milk, so so very good! They are very accommodating with gluten and spice levels. Excellent food, super friendly staff, highly recommended!

Matt Schmitt

Amazing sushi, great staff, loved the gluten free options and soy sauce! Thank you.

Georgia Field

Excellent pad thai and thai food is my favourite. Service was lovely and personable, cheesecake dessert was gluten free and vegan friendly which was awesome. Support local!

Shauna McInnis

Great gluten free options and lovely service !

Tracy Perkins

A must see! A hidden gem in downtown Langford. Gluten sensitive restaurant. Ordered a gf and rice free crab roll and it was excellent. Fresh, and beautiful presentation. Thank you so much.

Eric Southard

The food is amazing, the servers are super friendly and the vibe is great! The vegan options are all soo good but the Tofu soup is incredible that I cant help but get it every time, but the Ginger tofu hot pot is also to die for. You can really taste the love put into making the food. 10/10 Vegan note: Everything tastes so clean and the staff is knowledgeable about veganism and gluten in the dishes.

Cole Backous

Always fantastic food and gluten free to boot

We happened upon Kitchen Story while shopping over the weekend. Staff did everything possible to accommodate our Vegan and GF requirements. While placing the order we were taken through all the ingredients and all of the possible modifications. When the impressive offerings arrived, we learned staff made choices like pan-frying some items, in order to limit contamination from the meat items on the menu! Amazing, right! John enjoyed the (already) vegan-friendly miso soup and a tofu / noodle / veg. / rice dish. (The noodles were done in a delicious sauce and the veg. was generous and fresh. It was a hearty meal). The maki rolls came out quickly and were also fresh. We appreciated that gluten-free soy sauce was available. Overall, we found the layout of Kitchen Story felt open and easy to move through; the space was clean and the primary colours of the decor appeal to many people. The service was so great, that we encouraged the young person who took care of us have our receipt candy 🍬 (in-between serving, bussing and stocking, the young person was visible, available, helpful, and even studying the menu during down time); the person who took our order was inquisitive, patient and did a great job at anticipating our needs, and answering all of our questions. We were made to feel as though we were one of the only tables there, but actually we visited on a Sunday evening, around the dinner hour and the team pulled all of this off while orders were coming and going and other tables needed attention. One of the great things about this Kitchen Story location is that there is always lots of parking, the mall is serviced by public transit, and you can get your shopping done before or after you have something to eat. A highlight of Westshore Mall is the kids play area - it seems like a good place for the kids - if you have any in tow, to burn off some energy. We don't have any, but the play area is ALWAYS popular when we stop in.

Lee Ann Woolford

Absolutely love the takeout feature of buffet. Standard staples, like butter, chicken, rice, pankora Additional menu options available throughout the week. Also available as gluten free and vegan. Excellent portion size for price. Service is fabulous, friendly and go above and beyond.

Jasmine Winsby

Great sushi from here quick service. Very tasty and fresh Gluten free Gyoza was incredible will return

Emily Spargo

Delicious Thai food and accommodating to celiac requirements! Also super friendly staff :)

KB Bhanot

I was expecting medium to low-grade of Indian food, but I was actually proven wrong. This place has a really good flavor full options, which I was amazed. I really like their chaste specially Samosa chaat and aloo naan. there are a lot of gluten-free options available as well so in that sense it’s pretty good. I recommend trying to appetizer option pretty large portion of food replacement item.

Michael Whitehead

It’s such a nice experience coming here - great food, fast service, and you can really tell the staff cares about delivering a great product to your table. We go regularly and it’s a very reproducible experience. Coconut chicken and various food from their tandoor are some of our favourites. It’s also very helpful for those with dietary issues - for us gluten free is important.

Jacob Kem

Thank you for the gluten free option, not too much gluten free options are available around the area.

Laura-Jane Wallace

Bento boxes are delicious, large portions and a great price. Service is kind, accomodating and quick! Not as many gluten free options, but I appreciate that they take the allergy seriously and waiters are knowledgeable about the contents of each dish.
