Top 50 Gluten-Free Asian Spots to Explore in Tokyo

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.

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.

They did not notify us that the “gluten free” tempura was cooked in the same fryer so unfortunately I ate some, and I’m celiac 🤦🏼‍♀️ kinda ruined my night and left me wondering if everything else was as safe as they claimed

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

Mouyan Curry is located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. It's great to be able to eat gluten-free curry. I ordered the three-meat curry (beef tendon, pork, and dry). The two potatoes, fukujinzuke pickles, smoked pickled radish, and onion and rakkyo are all self-service and I was full.

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!

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~

An incredible gluten-free ramen, full of flavor and reasonably priced. The gyozas were also quite tasty.

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

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.

Emily Dellios

We absolutely loved it here! I am coeliac and my husband is vegetarian. Our waitress, Thaw, was delightful and helped us understand exactly what I could and couldn’t eat. Delicious, really reasonably priced, and lots of fun!

Marvin da Costa

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

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

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

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.

Carlotta Garbellini

I have coeliac disease and I had the opportunity to have a personal menu, one of my friend is vegetarian and was able to have a personal menu too. Amazing experience, thank you.

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.

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!

Ordered the lunch buffet. It is a system where you can choose whether you want one serving, refills, or unlimited. This time I only had one refill. For curry, you can get one refill of spinach, spicy foods, and many salads from the main dish. Coffee and rooibos tea are all you can drink. Tandoori chicken is limited to 2 pieces per serving, so it's plump, super delicious, and addictive. The udon noodles are smooth and chewy, filling and delicious. The curry is gluten-free, low-calorie, and has a nice spicy sweetness. It was delicious with steamy skinned potatoes. Payment can be made in advance at the ticket vending machine and PayPal is also available.

Lila Brown

I have celiac and went here for lunch yesterday. The food was INCREDIBLE and the atmosphere was so special. It’s a tiny restaurant, maybe 6 seats? And you need to reserve in advance. Each course was delightful and impeccably made, and you get to watch it being prepared right next to your table. I could not recommend this more highly.

The best shabu shabu in ikebukuro, eat as much as you can in 100 minutes. And with the option of GLUTEN FREE broth. They were very attentive, offering us rice noodles. On top of that, we were served by a super nice waitress who was a sweetheart named Haruka. We will return. Thank you so much

There's GF Ramen, but speak to the staff first to make sure they're aware and that it's also in a broth that doesn't contain soy sauce

all the food was delicious - the grilled eel with cream cheese was delicious, and our tenderloin had beautiful marbling and was perfectly cooked. our server, thu was lovely and fun to chat with. they were mindful as my romance partner doesn’t eat meat, and I don’t eat gluten, they were able to accommodate us both without sacrificing flavor. highly recommend!

Gluten-free ramen (lol) I changed the noodles to konnyaku noodles. I had a delicious Afri for the first time in about 10 years. After all, wheat noodles are good, but I have no choice but to use konnyaku (bitter smile) However, I think it's a compromise if it's gluten-free ramen (lol) Thank you for being late. I'll bother you again.

Phenomenal Yuzu Ramen recommended to me by a local… so delicious! Hearty but surprisingly light. They also have kognac noodles as a gluten-free option. Workers seem genuinely happy to be there. Can’t wait to come back some day, hopefully sooner than later! 🍋🍜🤤

Gal Chausho

Honestly one of the best and unique food experiences we’ve had! Staff were amazing and very accommodating even though one of us ate gluten free. Totally recommend

We tried to eat here a couple of times but they would only take reservations. We finally made it in for an early dinner and the staff was friendly. Bit of a ‘hotspot’ more to the posh side kinda dining. Glutenfree and dairyfree dishes were hard to find but we were able to order papaya salads, a soup and a curry. Most of it was quite spicy and tasty, but not outstanding. They offer organic rice which was a nice find.

Aug 8, 2025- not gluten free. We went based on this app and were turned away due to cross-contamination concerns. No separate pans etc. they apologized profusely but could not accommodate. Across the street is the Hilton, however, and every restaurant in the hotel and room service has a GF menu. I have not had Chinese food in years and it was so very good! Three full pages of GF options.

Nice place with a cozy atmosphere. They have gluten free soy sauce and they can understand your request for gluten free. However, you need to check with the chef the food when it comes to your table to guarantee there is no gluten by mistake.

[Since I was not able to go to the restaurant, this is not a review about the taste of the food or the atmosphere. I am posting this for information as there may be other people who may be disappointed in the precautions we take regarding allergies. ] This restaurant appears at the top of the search results for things such as "We can accommodate wheat allergies in Tokyo" and "Gluten-free," but based on the results, if you can't eat wheat/barley due to a wheat allergy or celiac disease, It looks like you can't eat here. When I made a reservation online, there was a field that said if you have any allergies, please enter them here, so I entered that I would like it to be gluten-free. ``One person has gluten, egg, and milk allergies. Gluten = wheat is also included in seasonings. Is it okay to use seasonings such as soy sauce, miso, and vinegar? If seasonings cannot be used, we cannot accommodate your request. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we would appreciate it if you could check and reply. ” I received an email. Of course, most regular soy sauce contains wheat, so if a restaurant claims to be ``gluten-free'' or caters to people with wheat allergies, they may sell soy sauce made only with wheat-free rice or soybeans. This means that we always have Irutamari soy sauce on hand. Restaurants that can accommodate allergies will often tell you that it is possible to use regular soybean miso instead of barley miso, pure rice vinegar instead of grain vinegar that contains wheat, or only those customers can use citrus fruits in their dishes. I replied, ``Ordinary soybean miso is fine, rice vinegar is fine, and I'll bring soy sauce if needed.'' “We also offer gluten-free options at our store. However, if the seasoning is not available, we will not be able to accommodate your request. If you use seasonings containing wheat during the cooking process, For example, if you use a different soy sauce or miso, the taste of the dish itself may be different, or the preparation itself may not be possible. We are very sorry that you chose our store. We would appreciate it if you could make a reservation or visit us on another occasion. We apologize for not being able to respond to your request. ” I received a very strange email back. ...If you can only cook with seasonings that contain wheat, It is not possible to say, "We offer gluten-free options." I think it would be a bad idea if they advertised that they were accommodating people with wheat allergies or gluten-free food, but they couldn't actually change anything at the cooking stage. I contacted them after seeing reviews such as ``Vegan and gluten-free options are good for entertaining inbound guests'' and ``They accommodated my wheat allergy,'' but the front staff did not understand about ``gluten-free'' and ``allergies.'' It seemed like there wasn't enough. It may be a good restaurant for people who can eat anything, but I don't recommend it if you have any dietary restrictions. (In Japan, medical care is delayed and testing is not widespread, but wheat, which has been repeatedly bred, places a heavy burden on the human body, so cases of gluten intolerance and celiac disease are rapidly increasing around the world.) In developed countries such as Italy and Finland, restaurants are required to offer gluten-free options, but I hope that understanding will spread in Japan as well. [This is not a review about the taste of the food or the atmosphere, as we were not able to visit the restaurant. I am posting this as FYI re: allergy, because there may be others who are disappointed about the allergy-related accomodations ]. This restaurant comes up in the top search results for "wheat allergy friendly in Tokyo" and "gluten-free", but it seems that if you cannot eat wheat/gluten due to wheat allergy or celiac disease, etc., you can't dine here. When I made our reservation online, there was a box to mention any allergies, so I put in that one person needed to eat gluten-free. I got an email in response, saying, "You indicated that one of your guests is allergic to gluten, eggs, and milk. Gluten = wheat is also found in seasonings. Is it OK to use seasonings such as soy sauce, miso, vinegar, etc.? If these seasonings are not allowed, we will not be able to accommodate your request." In general, restaurants that do accommodate gluten-free diets stock gluten-free soy sauce. I responded, "Regular soybean miso is fine, and rice vinegar is no problem, and I will bring soy sauce if needed." To which they responded (this was in Japanese, so it wasn't lack of language skills), "I'm saying we do accommodate gluten-free diets. However, if the seasonings are not allowed, we are not able to accept the reservation. When we use seasonings that contain wheat in the cooking process, if you use a different soy sauce or miso, the taste of the dish itself may be different, or we may not be able to prepare the dish itself. We are very sorry that you have chosen our restaurant. We would appreciate it if you could make a reservation or visit us at another occasion. [= without the person with allergy.] We are truly sorry for not being able to accommodate you." ...I mean, you can't say, "We accommodate gluten-free diets" and "but we can't cook unless we use our regular soy sauce" in one breath. I wouldn't have minded so much, if they had flat out said "We don't deal with food allergies." If you say in the PR phase that you are allergy-friendly, however, and actually nothing can be changed in the cooking phase, that would be false advertisement. We contacted the restaurant based on word-of-mouth reviews, such as "vegan and gluten-free options are available, which is good for entertaining guests from overseas" and "they were able to accommodate our wheat allergy", but the front desk staff did not seem to understand "gluten-free" or "allergy". If you can eat absolutely anything, this may be a good restaurant for you, but if you have any dietary restrictions, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.
