Natalie Hampton

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Mary Cellini

Always delicious and plenty of vegan/gluten free options, so I am here a lot. Great staff and music. My visit is always a treat.

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Charlotte Thompson

Gluten free waffles aren’t coeliac safe, not cooked on a separate fryer

Julieta Rodriguez Groves

The best? They have a gluten-free menu. But I don't know how to find it in the main menu, you have to scan a QR or ask the waiter.

Danielle Drummond

Such a cool place! The server was doing it all and doing such an amazing job! They had gluten free options, which was a plus for us! The food was amazing and a great price!

Ana Carla

The food is delicious, and place itself is awesome, they have board games that we can play while waiting for the food, and they also have gluten free food.

Gemma Rose Brandt

Amazing gluten free options, especially for those with a sweet tooth. Best GF doughnut I've ever eaten. Great spot for something to eat and drink after a hike.

Sona S

Great gluten-free crust. Crispy, flavorful, overall good option. Awesome topping combinations.

Briana Boyd

I loooove this place! Delicious food and drinks! Service and atmosphere are top notch. Lots of gluten and dairy free options too! Even better! I’m from San Diego, and I learned tonight that the owner of this place is brothers with my favorite Indian restaurant in San Diego, spice lounge! Small world!

Andrew Grone

Anything but a safe restaurant - got terribly sick here last year and after many discussions with management, we realized the culprit was an item they marked and advertised as gluten free that straight up had real soy sauce in it. They were clueless as to what had or didn’t have gluten - and yet kept the item marked as gluten free for weeks until I finally got them to change it. Strong recommendation for celiacs to avoid after management changed years back. Eat at your own risk!

Natalie Hampton

Great gluten free options, knowledgeable staff, and even a selection of gluten free baked goods! The mochi cookies are AMAZING!

Shuccle

Exceptional gluten free celiac safe pizza, in LA !!! I have celiac disease, so finding safe joints to enjoy a warm pie is always tough. I called here ahead of time to ask if they can cater to someone with celiac, and the manager who picked up the phone (his name is Fred) was so nice! Absolutely outstanding customer service. I felt right at home. I'll be completely honest though, as good as the pizza was, I've had tastier GF pizza in LA. However, I'll be darned to ever find customer service as amazing as I did tonight, so I'm not even complaining. 5-stars all-around!

I ordered for pick up. The salmon salad and two slices of gluten free cake. All were good. I just wish their salmon had skin on it (crispy at that). And their carrot cake had more walnuts they were non existent in the slice I had only two tiny morsels of a walnut were detected. I called to check if their carrot had walnuts before buying because I do not like carrot cake without the nuts so that was a bummer. The taste was very good tho . The coconut cake was also very good just a touch dry. If it was a lil more moist it would’ve been perfection! Overall really good!! Was expensive tho. Those three items were $50. $14 a slice is ridiculous for a regular cake. Meaning no special ingredients. If it was grain free, no sugar added using coconut sugar monk fruit (pure) I could see that but a typical GF all purpose flour and regular sugar etc $14 is a bit much imo.

Rose Metcalf

The menu is extensive! I love the Spinach Benedict and the strawberry french toast (both made gluten free) with their mimosa. This is the perfect weekend/ post-hike treat.

Sarah Veggie

Was visiting from out of state and had this door dashed all 4 days I was there! So good! I have celiac and a wheat allergy. They have a clean kitchen and are allergy friendly. The gluten free bun option makes the iconic and big zac burgers a great gf option. The iconic fries are a favorite as well

Jake Z. Chang

We recently dined at this restaurant and were thoroughly impressed with the attentive service, especially regarding my daughter's gluten allergy. The staff took extra care to ensure her dietary needs were met. Additionally, I had forgotten to request no cheese in my tacos, but despite the food already being prepared, the restaurant graciously remade my order at no extra cost. The food was excellent, and the ambiance of the restaurant was both pleasant and lively. Highly recommend for both their outstanding service and delightful dining experience!

Brittany

The food is so good and they can accommodate gluten free diets.

Charlie Ratcliffe

Delicious. Gluten free bun a huge win too.

Iman Jebara

Three words: GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES!!!!!!!!!

Jessica Knowlden

Obsessed with this spot. The energy and atmosphere are super cool, a hidden gem for sure. Staff was incredibly kind and our server was the best, knowledgeable about all the items on the menu, and also helped with gluten free dishes. We tried the red salsa, yellowtail ceviche, scallop dish, Quesadillas and flautas which were all delicious. Drinks were also really tasty. Would love to come back soon! Thank you 😊

Mohammed Almathami

Great service. They have gluten free menu in place

Miranda Mondeaux

This place is so cute! Everything is vegan and so yummy! I also don’t eat gluten. Thankfully, it was so easy to make some things gluten free :) The rolls were super fresh and everything was flavorful! We loved our time here.

Carol Rose

Beautiful outdoor area. Gluten free options as well. Tasty drink. Anthony was our server and he actually made us feel… at Home!

Cheyenne Padgett

I walked from his coffee and donut shop to his taco cantina after noticing the coffee spot on my way to an interview and had to u-turn following it to actually visit. Both locations were great. The server was very friendly and helped me situate myself somewhere else when I needed to charge my phone. They have gluten-free and dairy-free options in one, I got the pork tacos. I’m usually not a big fan of pork, probably should have went with chicken. However, the hot sauce was amazing. I bought a bottle. I wish I could afford to eat like that all the time.

Hanna Hondzo

I can’t speak to cross contamination but the fries were good and they had the best gf burger bun I’ve ever had in my life! They also had 2 gf dessert options.

Eva Komarkova

I didn't know that I have such a good restaurant right behind the corner! It's great because you can come here as vegan or non vegan together and both have great meal. The vegan menu is so good, so you can eat regular diet and order it without disappointment! My not vegan husband loved the vegan Korean chicken taco. I loved the vegan Baja fish taco so much. The cauliflower taco was also surprisingly full of flavor, I loved the cabbage and tahini dressing. The side of refried beans was fresh and delicious. My husband loved his mole enchilada, and we both loved the vegan Caesar salad. In the end we got also a yummy vegan dessert, which was gluten-free bread pudding with coffee ice cream! It was all so good! We are coming back! The staff is extraordinary nice and attentive. To everyone who is reading these reviews about high prices, I am adding a picture of our receipt...

Amy Jewell

Our group of 7 stopped in here after a grueling day at Universal. The wait for a table took a long time, but we were patient and boy was it worth it! 3 hungry kids and 4 exhausted adults were all pleased as punch with our meals. My husband and I are gluten intolerant and the server was very confident in knowing what would work to be GF. The roasted balsamic Brussels sprouts were delicious! They have GF penne pasta as a substitute for most of their dishes and the chicken picatta I had was flavorful and plentiful!! Everyone cleared their plates and were more than happy. Shout out to our hard working server - a Monday crew during a holiday rush time caused delays but he was attentive despite serving 4 big groups.

Natalie Hampton

Tons of gluten free options (almost the entire menu), very knowledgeable staff, and really yummy food!

Benjamin Pedersen

Fantastisk hyggeligt sted! Maden er vegansk og de kan tage hensyn til gluten allergi. Maden var frisk og lækker.

Tzvika Graetz

Wow. What an amazing experience we had at Araya's Place - Thai Vegan Restaurant. The best Vegan food ever I had. Tasty, healthy and very clean. The Host was so gracious and the food came quickly. I would highly recommend it . I came with two teenagers that were so happy and recommend it as well. And so much on the menu is Gluten Free that was amazing !!! If you keep Kosher like we do, it is an excellent option, although they don't (yet) have Hashgacha.

I had a pepperoni burrata and mike's hot honey slice, plain cheese slice and the squared slice I dont remember. Both pepperoni and cheese were very tasty. Crust had a nice bite and was soft at the same time. Very flavorful, the cheese, tomato sauce and crust ratio was great. (I am a fan of thin pizza.) The honey and pepperoni combo was good, didn't really get the hot part. The squared slice, I wasnt able to eat right away so can't say, but its more of a deep dish style, very thick and crunchy crust. Dark bits are crispy cheese. Onion, prosciutto and garlic. Opted for slices since oredering a pie is approx 1hr wait time. Glutenfree options. Parking lot is small. Line to order moves quickly. Customer service is great! Communication is concise. Definitely will return for a whole pie.

Cute and vintage on the inside, too nice though to not sit on the sidewalk patio. Prices are steeper than indicated--$$-$$$. So much gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan selection though, and safely labeled. As in they seem to really understand cross contamination and not joist call something GF even though it then goes in the frier. Anyway, all day breakfast with both the enchiladas and juevos rancheros we're truly out of this world. The sauces, the fresh guac, cilantro, came out hot and so visually appealing I didn't stop to take a photo. Shakes were unbelievably creamy. Kids had what looked like the best burgers of their lives on fresh toasted rolls, thick melty cheese, and lacy crisp edges on the beef. The onion rings looked, sounded, and smelled amazing but I didn't eat one... gluten. Would absolutely come back, highly recommended!

Always love this Place... i just dont like the Limited Choices for Vegans, and Pescatarian folks like Me... Also those with Celiac and Dairy intolerance; like Me. Can you Bring Plant based Meats and Cheeses; WITHOUT SOY... Please and Thanks!

Paulina Michaels

Really amazing , fresh hand rolls and sushi. I’m celiac and they took a great great care of me! Will be back a hundred percent and highly recommend. The seared bluefin tuna was my favorite !!!

Brooke Collins

Came in after a tattoo session on a Tuesday later in the evening and was starving! I'm very picky and to top it off I have a gluten allergy so finding a place to eat and enjoy is not always the easiest. I saw the pictures of this restaurant food online and could tell they knew and took care in what they made, however I was still shocked at how good their food was. The chicken biryani and their mint chutney was amazing. Quality, effort, flavor and tradition was all exhibited in the dish I had.

I visited Sugarfish in Los Angeles with a group of friends on a spontaneous evening, intrigued by the buzz surrounding their "Nozawa Trust Me" menu. As sushi enthusiasts, we were excited to experience the acclaimed omakase. The ambiance struck us immediately. The minimalist decor, with its clean lines and warm lighting, exuded an understated elegance that set the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The vibe was both relaxed and sophisticated, perfect for an intimate meal. From the moment we were seated, the service was impeccable. Our server was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the menu. She explained each course with detail, enhancing our anticipation. The "Nozawa Trust Me" menu is a revelation. Each dish arrived in perfect sequence, showcasing the chef's masterful progression of flavors and textures. The tuna sashimi was the freshest I’ve ever tasted, melting in the mouth with a delicate sweetness. The albacore sushi, served with a hint of ponzu, was a standout, its flavor profile perfectly balanced. The warm hand rolls, particularly the blue crab, were a comforting contrast to the cold sushi, each bite bursting with flavor. What sets Sugarfish apart is the quality and simplicity of its ingredients. The fish is sourced daily, ensuring unparalleled freshness. The rice, slightly warm and seasoned just right, complements the fish without overpowering it. Despite the premium experience, the pricing felt justified. The "Trust Me" menus offer a well-curated journey through sushi essentials, providing excellent value for the quality. For those with dietary preferences, Sugarfish is accommodating, with options for gluten-free soy sauce and the ability to modify the menu. Overall, our visit to Sugarfish was exceptional, exceeding our high expectations. For sushi lovers, Sugarfish’s "Nozawa Trust Me" is a must-try, offering an authentic and memorable sushi experience that stands out in a city full of culinary delights.

Ordered 8 piece grilled nuggets and they gave me 5 piece breaded nuggets. Can’t even eat them cause I’m gluten free.

Jenny Chuang

My friend can't eat gluten because of her celiac disease, which makes it a bit hard to find a place that have alterative. This place that I found by surprised actually have gluten free tator tots, bread, and many dishes can be altered without taking out a major component, which is amazing! Also to find options that are vegetarian and vegan-friendly is nice. I love the option of indoor and outdoor seating! Not to mention, the bathroom - is beautiful! There are a lot of options on the menu and the food is pretty good, even the ones with alternative ingredients tasted delicious! The only issues is trying to find parking, however there is a paid lot next to the restaurant that cost about 0.75 cent every 30 minutes. Parking seems strict as there is a parking meter guy standing by the meters and getting ready to write tickets. Would come back again! Waitresses and waiters are super nice and friendly!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue regarding a recent order I placed for delivery from your restaurant. I have celiac disease and specifically marked all my food items as gluten-free when ordering. Unfortunately, I was gluttened by the sauce accompanying the spring rolls, and I am now concerned about the pho as well. Although I didn’t consume all of it, I discarded the rest of my meal, fearing that it would make me ill. I want to emphasize how important it is for your staff to be fully educated on handling gluten-free orders, as this is a significant health risk for individuals with celiac disease. The woman I spoke with on the phone was kind, empathetic, and reassured me that she would confirm the details, but this situation should not have occurred. While I understand that mistakes can happen, this incident is a matter of negligence, and your restaurant could be liable if others are affected in the same way. I appreciate that DoorDash refunded me for the meal, but should I require medical treatment, I will need to send you the bill. I urge you to take this matter seriously and ensure that all your cooks and servers are properly educated on food allergies and autoimmune conditions. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I hope this can be addressed so it doesn’t happen again in the future. Sincerely, Lauren B.
