Very delicious and super safe

Wow wow wow. Amazing. A must visit. Came with our friends who are non GF and they loved the normal offering. The GF option of rice noodles was so delicious. Very attentive service. Thank you.

The interior of the restaurant is filled with greenery and has a warm, homey atmosphere that makes it very comfortable to spend time in. It seemed like there were a lot of couples there. When I went around 4pm, I was able to get in without having to wait, and my food came out quickly. The seiro set meal had already sold out, so I ordered the one soup and three side dishes set meal. The amount seemed a little small for the price, but it seemed good for my health. They also sold gluten-free cookies inside the restaurant. I'd like to go again.

Really delicious ramen! And there’s a vending machine out front for gf vegan desserts!

Lara Acucella

Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋 They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

This place was so incredible, I couldn’t resist coming back a second time during my trip. The Dan Dan udon, curry udon, and mushroom tempura are all must-tries. Gluten-free food doesn’t always get the credit it deserves, but this spot truly delivers whether you’re GF or not.

I had a delicious gluten-free ramen. The broth was perhaps a little lacking in flavor for my taste, but I still liked it. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy a gluten-free option at Tokyo Station.

Has a gluten free menu and I enjoyed the prawn tempura

AmyAnn Curran

Delicious and plenty of gluten free options

John Challis

I came here last year and again this year, best gluten free ramen in the world!

Scott Rackliff

Authentic buckwheat soba with gluten free options.

Marcus S

Amazing! Amazing! Lovely staff and a cosy little cafe. We arrived late in the day, 5.30 (close at 6pm) and they accommodated us for a quick dessert. They had sold out of their rice flour bread so couldn’t get the sandwiches. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food and sake!

Super authentic soba noodle experience. The noodles are all buckwheat only. Offers a GF dipping sauce on request

Super nice place, run by a couple who couldn't be more charming! Super attentive. Suitable for celiacs and vegans. My daughter is celiac, and when we told them, they explained that they were extremely careful with cross-contamination, which was very appreciated. You pay 4,000 yen per person, but they give you four starters to try, five gyozas, a main course, a drink, and dessert. Everything was delicious. We couldn't finish everything, so we were able to take it home. If I go back to Takayama, I'll definitely be back. I can't fault it at all. (The dish in the photo is from the vegan menu.)

my family and i had the great privilege of dining at the teppanbaby. my celiac mother had an amazing meal and my little brother ate some amazing chicken and rice. the staff is AMAZING and definitely a highlight of my trip!!

Tastes incredible and has gf options

Maybe we ordered the wrong thing but i doubt it as there are only three main ramen dishes- 1-3 with no accommodations. Maybe gluten or vegan options are better. I believe what happened to our ramen was that the green onions were past their due. And they really dumped a lot of these bad green onions in our ramen. It tasted awful. The taste permeated the rest and i know a lot about food and cooking so i tried to work past it and can tell without those green onions that maybe the food would be ok. Anyone who cooks knows that if green onions are old and get slimy the taste will take over the food and in a bad way. And both my son and i had upset stomachs afterwards. A shame because we were looking forward to it. Also as ramen goes it was one of the more expensive ramen dishes we had whilst in Japan.

Emma Lamomd

Loved this place!! Everything is gluten free (even the macaroni) however the okonomiyaki was certainly the highlight. It was great to not have to worry about cross contamination - cannot recommend it enough

Sasha Simms-Rowan

Excellent gluten free vegan curry (I was too busy enjoying it to take photos) and drink! I got the takeaway curry in a cup - It was perfect! All gluten free, well labeled menu with pictures and friendly service. Definitely recommend this one 🙂

Sapphire Suzuki

Fukuda was amazing with gluten intolerance, I could cry. He literally walked me through every item that I could eat safely. The food was also amazing! 10/10 would come back!

Jessica Lebovits, RD, CDN

My favorite restaurant my whole trip to Japan. So accommodating. The freshest sushi. Family owned restaurant

Gema Garcia

Spectacular ramen with gluten free option!!

Sarah Hilshorst

I got to experience gluten free Hiroshima style okonomiyaki that was prepared with such care! He utilized gluten free ingredients as well as a separate cooking space. While he was preparing the dish he talked me through step by step. It was fun to watch and learn! Nakamura San explained that he wanted to prepare okonomiya for everyone to enjoy. He does gluten free, allergen free, low sugar as well as a softer version to avoid choking. He also prepares an original okonomiyaki which is what is prepared on the flat top in the photos (non celiac husband ordered that). We both really enjoyed this meal! He knows basic English and communicated with a translation device. We were able to talk and enjoy his story telling. I would recommend this place to anyone who is gluten free or celiac! Look into making a reservation so he can have ingredients prepared for your visit!

There's a very interesting story about me and this restaurant. I moved here almost one year ago, and as a gluten sensitive person, I was trying to find places, restaurants and cafes, that had GF options. Of course Soranoiro was one of the first reccomended restaurants, but because it's located in Hanzomon, an area where basically only salaryman gather, I never really had any reason to go, and I kept postponing, again and again, until I forgot. Flash forward to May, nine months later I'm working in Hanzomon, only for a short while, and I'm trying to find a restaurant who has at least one rice based meal option. Suddenly I notice that Soranoiro is just one minute away from my workplace! Life is really unexpected right? I wonder what is karma trying to tell me ahaha Anyway, the vegetarian ramen was great, and it's really easy to customise each order with gluten free noodles, I personally really reccomend Soranoiro to everyone, people that enjoy ramen and people that want to try new flavours such as vegetables ramen. The overall vibe is pretty chill too, and I really liked their background music. Just note it down that the only accept cashless payments~

A very reputable ramen restaurant in Sapporo committed to serving halal, vegan and gluten free options. All servings were large, filling, and very affordable. We recommend the tomato broth ramen with minced chicken. We are so grateful to the owner for being so kind and attentive to our needs, especially providing the English menu.

Tania Fraile Kelly

The best restaurant I've tried in Japan. Super-delicious ramen, gluten-free options, a fire show, and, above all, extremely friendly staff. New favorite spot in the country

Geoff Jennings

Delicious. It's not always easy eating gluten free in Japan, but I have to. Spotted a big gluten free sign outside and was stoked to see all the gluten free choices were clearly marked. Enjoyed my onigiri and a spam/egg "burger". They have a small bar for eating in, but seem to do mostly to-go. The person working (owner) was friendly and happily helped me when I asked a question using Google translate. I wish I was going to be able to visit again this trip!

André Lago

The potato pizza was simple but very tasty even though the dough was gluten free! Also very nice that the whole menu is vegan :)

Ziad Gellad

Beautifully crafted meal by truly beautiful people. Memorable family dinner - and they were able to make it entirely gluten free. 🙏

Whilst not a traditional ramen spot and definitely geared more towards tourists it’s really nice being able to eat some gluten free and vegan spicy ramen without worrying about an allergic reaction. Really enjoyed a quick lunch here.

A restaurant where you can eat delicious vegan food. I came here with my child who doesn't like meat. I ordered a lunch course, but the number of appetizers was Children can taste many different kinds. I was very happy! It’s hard to believe that the pasta noodles are gluten-free. It was delicious, so I visited the manufacturer and was shown the product, and it turned out to be organic gluten-free pasta. I don't think it was written as organic on the menu, so it may change again, but I felt that they were particular about it, even though it was probably quite expensive compared to similar products. It's vegan, gluten-free, healthy, and reasonably priced, so it's become my favorite restaurant. The staff at the hall were very attentive. This is a recommended point! I will visit you again, thank you very much.

Benjamin Cawdery

If you’re gluten free you should definitely come here! If you aren’t you should come any way! The food was incredible and the staff were so friendly. And they were very kind and caring about my allergy. The atmosphere is great, it feels completely authentic. We loved it

Beatrice Carlini

Everything was perfect! Kureha was able to help me understand what I could eat without gluten

近藤良夫

It was delicious. The gluten-free set meal was a fairly luxurious one at a flat rate of ¥2,970 (tax included). We stayed there for exactly two hours, but the staff all gathered around each other and looked at us as if they wanted us to leave quickly.

Marvin da Costa

Realy good restaurant. Food was delicious and realy nice server. Especially the gluten free option was nice.

Núria Villaró

Amazing experience! They adapted the menu to gluten free with gluten free soya sauce.

Jørgen Lobben

Come here! Second year in a row we come to this ramen place, and we love it! Great gluten-free ramen and the man running the shop is an amazing guy❤️ we are definitely coming again next time we are in Kyoto or even Osaka😊 Thank you

Sooyeon Choi

Please be aware. There’s a barley inside the rice. don't go there if you’re a celiac unless you want to eat only the curry without rice. We went there because it’s a gluten free curry. A staff said that you can eat only the curry without the rice. Because there’s barley inside their rice. So It’s not a gluten-free friendly restaurant 😅 I don’t understand why a. they advertise as a gluten-free curry restaurant if they cook rice with barley. This tells that they don’t know about a celiac disease. b. they can offer a plain white rice

Yahli mordo

Absolutely amazing people and amazing gluten free food! This place is a heaven to gluten free people!!

Corinna Finney

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

Anneloes Van Schuppen

Super delicious vegan and glutenfree typical Japanse food. The owners are very kind and prepare, present and explain the dishes with so much care. I could try things I have never eaten in my life before. They also support places for rescue cats and there are paintings and pictures of cats everywhere<3

pietro zani

place with gluten free option including the little white fish that are very traditional of Kamakura. they also have gluten free soy sauce. thank you!

A very popular shop with long lines for its top quality sweets and soup curry. A soup curry restaurant in Shimokitazawa that has long lines even on weekdays. The sweets here are also exquisite, so we also recommend using the cafe. I went with 2 people. Saturday, December 21, 2024 15:40 *Tandoori chicken and charred cabbage cheese curry Kokumaro coconut soup Spiciness 30 (extremely spicy) Topping Natto *Pistachio pudding *Bone-in chicken and 7 types of vegetable curry crispy chicken rich tomato soup Spicy level 6 (very spicy) Topping: burnt cheese *Rich terrine matcha Tandoori chicken and charred cabbage cheese curry Topped with natto and ordered for maximum spiciness. The viscosity of Kokamaro coconut soup is quite high. Is it because of the 30 spiciness? When ordering, the girl at the store said, ``Sa, sa, 30 spicy? ? ” and a manga-like reaction lol The charred cabbage roasted using a burner has an even sweeter flavor. The tandoori chicken is an authentic dish that has been marinated well and has a lot of flavor. Despite the spiciness that dominates everything, the cooking method and basic cooking are exquisite, and each and every ingredient is extremely delicious. I don't know if there is a tandoori oven, but this tandoori chicken has an outstanding taste. The coconut soup and tandoori chicken go well together. It's delicious even though it's so spicy that it melts your brain. Bone-in chicken and 7 types of vegetable curry Your companion orders it. In addition to crispy bone-in chicken, there are lotus roots, pumpkin, carrots, green peppers, broccoli, and potatoes. The soup is a rich tomato soup with a spiciness level of 6. Topped with charred cheese, the fruity sourness of the tomatoes and the deep sweetness of the onions really bring out the sweetness of the other vegetables. The complex spices such as cumin and cinnamon are added, and the secret ingredient, mango chutney, creates a roundness. Deliciousness with concentrated flavor and richness. The chicken is fragrant and has a crispy texture. The meat is perfectly tender and is a very elaborate dish. The large vegetables are cooked to just the right amount of heat and retain their freshness. A dish that shows the high level of cooking technique. pistachio pudding There are various sweets using pistachios, but pudding is quite rare. A pudding with an extremely rich flavor and smooth texture, made with generous amounts of carefully selected Italian pistachio beans. The sourness of the berries accentuates the flavor, and you can eat it in no time. A must-try for pudding lovers. Rich terrine matcha A super popular sweet that can be said to be the store's signature menu. A luxurious terrine made with matcha from Shimokita Tea Garden Daisen, run by the owner who holds the highest tea master qualification in Japan. The contrast between the milkiness of the white chocolate and the bittersweet matcha is wonderful. Add the homemade matcha salt that comes with it for a more mature taste. This is an artistic sweet. It was delicious and I finished it. “202 Curry-do” is a soup curry and sweets shop that will open in December 2021. The owner of the shop, which quickly became popular, is Mr. Hori, who is from Hokkaido. A talented person who trained at a soup curry restaurant for 13 years. The location is on the 2nd floor of Seijo Ishii near the Shimokitazawa West Exit of the Inokashira Line. The interior of the store is decorated with houseplants and dried flowers, creating a modern and calm atmosphere. There are three types of self-serve water: pink mixed berry water, pale yellow lemon water, and regular water. There are two types of curry soups to choose from: rich tomato and dark coconut, and the spiciness ranges from 0 to 30. Rice is usually large, small, or absent. There is also a curry called ``combination curry'' where you can choose your own original toppings, with a rough calculation of more than 1,200 combinations. The curry seemed to have an average level of spice. The best balance of harmony with the flavor of the handmade ingredients. You can also adjust the spiciness quite finely. And the sweets are also top notch. Our homemade soup curry is carefully prepared and pasteurized for each order. Original gluten-free sweets made with artistic and carefully selected ingredients. I am satisfied that LGBTQ people of all ages are supported. Not only for soup curry, but also as a cafe, it's very attractive and you'll want to come back again and again. A restaurant that is totally wonderful in terms of taste, atmosphere, service, attention to detail, facilities, etc. Highly recommended. #Sweets girls #Stylish sweets #Focusing on materials #Women's joy level is high #glutenfree #You can take out #The queue is endless #Relax in a calm atmosphere #Retty popular store #Shimokitazawa

As a coeliac/celiac, this place was my absolute favourite in Niseko! The food was so incredible, you wouldn’t even know that it was gluten free. Highly recommend the prawn tempura rice bowls!

Giorgio Laurent Crepaldi

Very good Hot Pot in All you can eat formula. You can choose whether to eat beef, pork or both, the price changes slightly. The waiters speak English and are very helpful towards customers. We were served by Sota and Masaya who were very professional! Suitable for celiacs, they are very careful about contamination, a great place!

Mika Medding

Beware - the noodles are gluten free, but the soup itself has soy sauce which contains gluten!!

Aster Peng

I stumbled upon this place accidentally, and was pleasantly surprised. I have been eating at all these other Japanese omakase restaurants that were very serious and quiet, so having an experience at a lively and boisterous place was a welcome change! The food was good and service was quick, would definitely come again. I am pescatarian and gluten-free, and I was able to order things I can eat.

Emma Mc

We had no reservation for a large group and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The sushi was exceptional. After 2 weeks in Japan, this was by far the best sushi we had it was spectacular. Cannot recommend enough. They bad gluten free soy sauce and a gluten free menu for me.
