My first time here. The perfect choice and a great evening. The food was delicious. I’m celiac as well as having a dairy allergy. My waitress Julia couldn’t have been more accommodating. She made sure my meal was perfect. Very friendly and professional. Top notch service! Brian the manager was excellent. He too made sure I had the best service as well as making me feel like family while there. I was celebrating my birthday and he went out of his way to make the evening a great one for me. Great restaurant and great staff. Highly recommended :)

Classic New York Jewish deli, food, and more. Good gluten-free options available. Pastrami was a little greasy, but had great Smoky flavor. If you like deli pickles, be sure to order - they're good, and they were only .10 for two.

Love this place! Stumbled upon it during my vacation and could not be happier. Great for my gluten free/vegan people. Doesn’t taste like artificial sugars/sweetener; it’s very natural and filling!

Super great product & Staff, With FushiPoke i know all will be well w/ my gluten-free needs (not just preference.) Creative, clean casual atmosphere. My go to is the no-protein bowl with white rice, daikon, ginger, guac, edamame and housemade spicy mayo, gf spicy soy is a treat any time of day. I've had it many times for lunch or dinner. Leilani, Kennedy, Arlo, Moses, Christian & other professional/accomodating/friendly staff (i forgot names right now) make sure your bowl is stellar everytime!

3x I’ve ordered from this place and have done regular crust and gluten free. Toppings are scarce and expensive and pizza is dry. They can say in the comments it’s about picking it up on time but both times it didn’t make a difference. Edit: I dropped it down from 2 to 1 stars because the reply was sarcastic rather than asking questions to rectify, just like the others. People shouldn’t be in business if they can’t take constructive criticism and try to fix it.

YUM, YUM, YUM!!!! This might sound cliche but the food really does taste SO FRESH. I will be returning. I hope to make this my healthy alternative to fast food after work now that know where it is. That was the hardest part for me besides deciding on what to get was locating the shop since only the logo is on the door and not the name. I parked in the Whole Foods garage. I plan on working my way around the menu. I just went to lunch on my vacation day with someone who has to eat gluten free and low sodium and it was such a pleasure knowing she could eat just about anything on the menu AND it would be tasty! It was packed on a Friday at 1: 00pm but this is a very small place. I noticed lots of take outs. The manager (or was it owner) actually came out behind the counter and apologized to the whole room for the wait in the most sincerest way I've ever witnessed. I was engaged in conversation so I had not noticed but maybe those before us had waited a longer time?
