Norrito salad and shrimp are last meal level good. Lots of gluten free options. Ambiance and service are just ok.

Loved the spicy ramen looked great and the gluten free noodles were fantastic.

As someone that only eats gluten free, this was hands down the best sushi experience of my life. Do yourself a favor and order the dynamite lobster roll. SO good. You’re welcome. Also the most basic sake on their menu, $7 on the happy hour menu, was the best sake I’ve ever had.

I absolutely recommend this place for the best gluten free fried chicken in LA! it’s so crispy and tasty we are 100% coming back here to try more items on the menu and to get the family bucket. The lady who served us was also so nice and kind. Everything we ordered was so tasty, even the pickle and the green sauce - outstanding. Can’t wait to come back for more. Also it’s important to note that they validate parking 🙌🏼

Amazing food and soooo friendly!! Also knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free food

Eva Komarkova

One of the best vegan ramen in Downtown. I had white creamy ramen with very good gluten-free noodles. Also gyozas and avocado-veggie sushi with leafy salad with tasty vegan dressing - everything this was good! Pretty nice vegan menu for a reasonable price! Nice service, thank you!

AstroNut

The restaurant is not offering gluten free options as mentioned in the comments((( currently the only gluten free option is sashimi, for the rest they can’t guarantee cross contamination.

Omg I love it here! Had gluten free options for my bestie. Had the cutest vibes for pic and selfies. Great staff. 10/10 coming here everytime I visit LA 🤍💕🫶🏼

This is the first time I’ve been able to eat Onigiri and—oh my goodness—it’s delicious! I have celiac disease and the people here were very accommodating. While there is not a gluten free menu, I attached their allergy cheat sheet (gluten, sesame seed & oil, nuts, vegan) to this review. I enjoyed the Umeboshi (sour plum) and Ume Takana (sautéed greens) Onigiri and I felt great after (no allergic reaction:) So, if you are GF or have other food allergies this place may still be an option for you, talk to the wonderful staff ✨ Also, this is just a super cute little restaurant with happy plants. Highly recommend the Okinawa brown sugar milk tea!

This is a great hidden gem in the art district of LA. I love that they have so many Ramen options including those that are gluten-free. It's been a treat tto go have this as a restaurant options for lunch in the area

The service was amazing. We had Freddie. He’s hilarious, engaging, and a god with recommendations. I wish they had more gluten free options though.

Leya Collins

Food is amazing and the experience is so fun! They just need to get some gluten free soy sauce for guests with dietary restrictions.

Asia Biagiotti

I love this place!!! They have authentic asian food,with a lot of options!! Also for who's vegan, one of the person in my party was vegan and gluten free and she was so happy with the dinner that she had! Service was fast and prompt! If you are looking for authentic asian food you have to stop here with your research!

Lisa and Te took incredible care of me for the three days that I was in LA. The salmon futomaki and albacore sashimi were both delicious, and they tailored my food to be gluten free with such kindness and care. They are incredibly sweet and highly deserving of your business. I can’t wait to come back to the city and enjoy their food again. Thank you both so much!

Timothy Porter

GF friendly. Almost everything can be made gluten free and it's been thought out from the beginning. You don't get second class food here as a gluten free person. Everything is amazing. I will go out of my way to come here again.

Our waiter was one of the best we have had for years! They brought small sample of all the items and it was easy to choose from, there are options for halal, vegetarian and gluten free. The ramen was great and the cocktails all special. We chose the flight. This place is now one of our favorite spots.

Kathleenj Tank

Our server, TC, guided me through the menu to identify which items could be made gluten-free. I had a great salmon filet that was prepared for me with gluten-free sauce. Beautiful restaurant and views. A special shout out goes to the general manager for taking my medically-necessary gluten-free restriction seriously. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.

Brittany

Love this place. Lots of gluten free options.

Marquis Rogers

The Checky Ramen was smooth, silky and well balanced. The chicken rest charsu was flavorful and had the prefect texture. The service was considerate and attentive. They walked me an my partner though ordering around our food restrictions. Best of all, they have gluten free noddles so my partner and I vould actually have Ramen together for the first time.

YAY - gluten free pho! In Little Tokyo, almost nothing is GF; since one of us is celiac, we cannot eat in 99% of the places around here. Two of us orders pho, two of us the tonkatsu. The portions were GIANT! I will have three meals out of the tonkatsu. And it was crisp, not at all greasy, and delicious. The cabbage salad was perfectly cold and crisp, a nice foil for the pork. The spring rolls were fresh tasting and also very generous portions. For four of us - all of us getting at least two meals from our order, the total with tax was only $64. Definitely worth a trip. The pho was complex and multi-dimensional as well as very fresh. Definitely underrated. They validate parking, too.
