Delicious pizza and the restaurant had a nice vibe. We ordered a gluten free pizza with several toppings - it was fresh, hot, and prepared perfectly. It was Saturday night and most tables were full, but they still has some open tables for us. Very fun and satisfying evening at Uncle Paul’s.

Excellent experience for an early dinner here before a show. They have a great selection of east coast oysters with some decent west coast options as well - we stuck with the recommendations from our server and he did not steer us wrong. Everything was on point. Lots of gluten free options here as well and they were able to accomodate dairy free too. The nigiri was fantastic as were the tuna tostadas. Seafood is very fresh. Service was great - their happy hour specials are really good value and will definitely be back.

Sehr gutes Essen! Ich habe Zöliakie und muss mich Glutenfrei ernähren, die Küche ist mit zwei separaten Fritteusen ausgestattet damit keine Kontamination passiert. Das Chicken und die Pommes waren sehr sehr gut. Es ist ein kleiner Imbiss mit sehr freundlichem Personal! Würde es von herzen weiterempfehlen! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder

I have to say the service here was a 10/10! I have celiacs and haven’t eaten out in over a year because I get so sick from cross contamination and am so nervous ! The manager here made me feel so comfortable to eat, took me to the kitchen to meet the chef that would be handling my food and assured no cross contamination would occur! (So much relief when I heard that) I got the Cacio e pepe with gluten free spaghetti it was truly amazing with great taste! Then for dessert I got donut bites a celiacs dream because that’s hard to find being gluten free! I did not get sick and it was over all an amazing experience and will be going here so many more times! Thank you so much to the manager and staff for making sure I felt comfortable enough to eat here! Celiacs this is our spot!

Excellent food and service. My first time here. I ordered the special Bronzino dinner. It was beautiful and delicious but a little spicy for my taste. Without hesitation the waiter insisted they make me another which was perfect! I’m dairy and gluten free and delicious food is hard to find in many restaurants. I was also thrilled with the lemon sorbet artfully plated with a currant sauce. And sipped my peppermint tea for a relaxing ending. Definitely coming back!

Food here was so good it was mind blowing. I’m shocked there wasn’t a line to get in because this is some of the best Greek food in the city. I’m gluten free and the waiter recommended the salmon with a lemon spinach rice, which was amazing and can’t stop thinking about, and some other dishes, and noted almost all the seafood was celiac safe. There are tons of gluten free options. The mushroom and spinach sides are also gluten free as well as the salads sans croutons, so is the raw bar. They also recommended a Greek organe wine that was so delicious I need to save the name. I’m definitely coming back and trying more on the menu because it’s definitely worth returning!

A 530 PM table for two at Hatsuhana on a Wednesday yielded the absolute best sashimi that I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, as well as impeccable service from all staff. We first ordered hot green teas and an avocado salad, and due to my gluten intolerance, the dish was modified by removing the sauce. We followed this with a Sashimi Deluxe plate each, (modified for me of course) where our server identified every piece of fish on the beautifully presented plate for us. The sashimi was a religious experience. I savored every bite of fish, some with eyes closed. Not only was there tsuma on the plate like normal, very good seaweed was present as well. The wasabi is real wasabi, and when we ordered individual pieces of salmon toro sushi, there was a tasteful dot of wasabi tucked between the fish and rice. Our green tea was never empty, with multiple perfectly timed free refills. After we finished our meals, we were presented with complementary houjicha (roasted green tea)! We left Hatsuhana with full bellies and a good mood, grabbing a few M&Ms from the complementary M&M dispenser on our way out.

Excellent dinner spot! The decor is fantastic, and the food is delicious. Service was okay, though our server seemed quite unsure of the dishes with gluten despite us telling them early on one of our party had an allergy. But it all worked out okay.

The people here are so nice. Uriel is a good friend of mine and he made it a very special experience! The little crescent rolls they give you at the beginning were so yummy. Especially with a cappuccino The entrees were fabulous. I had the polenta based eggs Benedict. They were very unique! Served on a corn polenta (Gluten free) with the poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Pm top. Served with home fries, and it was actually a good serving size for one! The desserts were also 10/10 they have a gluten free coconut cake and a peach melba whipped cream cup that was amazing. Highly recommend!

Great lunch or dinner spot with thought through rotating specials and accompanied libations. The flat grill doesn't share foods that have gluten or dairy, making gluten free dairy free options possible (I double checked with the owner.) They can adjust your order accordingly. The ingredients in my salmon was just smoked salt and salmon, no oil making it effectively clean diet, clean eating and probably kosher by default.
