We always have a fresh and delicious gluten free meal at Hitoe. The service and sushi is exceptional. So happy to have Hitoe in the neighborhood!

Friendly atmosphere, food tasted great. My wife and I got the fish n chips as she is sensitive to gluten and they did not disappoint.

Great food, great portions, super friendly staff, and amazing gluten free batter! Have been to 2 locations and both were perfect! Will definitely be back!

Hubby and I (from Australia) began our Canadian holiday with a New Year's dinner at Cardero's. Although jet lagged as we had arrived that morning, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. It was made extra special by our friendly and professional server, Katy. The food was incredible. We had the prawn cocktail and BBQ ribs as appetisers, and both were divine. We then had the signature salmon and beef tenderloin for mains and finished with the most silky and creamy peanut butter cheesecake. It was also decorated with happy anniversary for our 10th wedding anni. Katy helped me with matching wines, and this was much appreciated. We tried ice wine for the first time, and we're addicted. Menu is incredibly gluten friendly. What a delectable dinner to start our Canadian food adventures!

Loved our experience at Minami - we had a bunch of dietary restrictions and were celebrating our wedding which they thoughtfully provided us with a surprise dairy free/ gluten free dessert 🙏🏼 service was excellent, we loved the aburis, brussel sprouts (try it!) and how fresh the sashimi was!

Pricey, but worth every penny. Every dish my partner and I ordered was chef's kiss. One of us is celiac and the waiter was very friendly and accommodating about the choices available. This is one of the best places to go for seafood in Vancouver and we will continue to visit on special occasions. Please don't change anything.

A definite treat dinner due to its higher cost but knowledgeable servers and happy to make amendments to offer GF options

Rented a private room for a business meeting. Received very high end service. Food quality and options were through the roof. They easily made accommodations for a guest that was gluten free. The sea food was very fresh and the steak was cooked perfectly. The service was very informative and the atmosphere was unmatched as it was within a private wine cellar. Highly recommend for special occasions.

On a vacation/work trip recently we had a late dinner at Coast restaurant. We were lucky to be able to sit outside thanks to the beautiful evening and the added comfort of there heaters. I have celiac disease, so always have to be extra careful when eating out. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of options I had and our waitress was amazing! Shout out to Sam for guiding me through all my options to keep me safe. She was super careful to triple check with the chef to make sure I had a very good and safe experience. Her charm, knowledge of the food and pleasant personality, elevated our experience.

I wish we could have ordered one of every dish but will just have to come back! They were incredibly accommodating for dietary restrictions, and while the menu may not specifically state gluten free options, the choices were abundant. We will absolutely be back.

Emily Skublics

Great for gluten and dairy free with large group!

Trace Ambrosio

Nice setting and was excited by the menu ahead of going. Wouldn’t recommend to someone who cannot eat gluten and/or dairy. Options were limited and disappointing, making for a bit of a lacklustre meal and mediocre experience overall. I wish I had called ahead to discuss options rather than just reading the menu which appeared to be relatively not gluten or dairy heavy. I do see an automated reply from the restaurant replying to the rather frequent poor reviews recently so I expect that rather than a personalized one, seems fitting.

Some of the wait staff were completely clueless about food allergies, my partner is celiac so this was very worrying. They served him a small piece of fish and a half a raw pepper with a weird gf mango cilantro salsa for $50, would not recommend. There was way too much black pepper and raw garlic in the mussels, and I really like pepper and garlic!

Chantalle Guptill

I had dinner with my parents here this evening, and the food was as exceptional as the service. All three of us ordered seafood dishes, and everything was cooked to absolute perfection. They were very accommodating for my father who has Celiac disease (so he can't have gluten). And I watched all evening as our server, Cody waited on multiple tables at a time, not once stopping to take notes—all the while maintaining super attentive service and accuracy of our orders. At one point, my father needed to run to the car to grab some medication he'd forgotten, and Cody offered, unprompted, to put his entrée under a heat lamp until he returned. This is probably the nicest dinner we've had in a long time, and that was due to the extremely skilled chefs in the kitchen and the amazing service we received at our table. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!! Unrelated: The hand soap in the women's restroom smells amazing! Thank you so much for a truly incredible evening, Cody! We'll definitely have to take you on a spin on our yacht when we save up enough to buy one!! 😂

This is my favourite place in Vancouver. Every time I come here I smile ear to ear the whole time. The staff are so friendly and genuinely all so happy to be there, and they all really like each other to boot. You feel like you’re just being welcomed into someone’s family. Tunes are always on point - you’ll find yourself dancing at the bar while you watch the expert shucking happening in front of you. The food is always 10/10. Garlic prawns and shucked oysters are my go to as a no gluten human. Snoop is perhaps one of the best service industry people we’ve ever met. Atmosphere wise - everyone’s friends: you will get to know the person next to you and you’ll be happier and better for it. Today we spent 1.5 socializing with the people on either side of us and left with hugs. Every time you leave here energized, well fed and happy af. The best spot in Vancouver without a doubt

DON’T EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES OF ANY KIND!!! Nor the kitchen or the staff where educated with what celiac is…. I went in and asked if their lamb burger was gluten free and expressed that I am celiac… The wait staff said yes absolutely. So we sat down, ordered drinks, and were about to order. I didn’t see really any gluten free options on their menu. So I asked the server to just double check with the kitchen that the patty is gluten free and celiac friendly. When that came back they said yup it’s totally fine for me to eat just has the smallest bit of bread crumbs in it to hold it together but that I should be fine… Thank goodness I asked a third time. Being celiac and having allergies is no laughing matter. Ignorance can kill someone in these situations or affect them for weeks on in. That night I got to watch my partner eat and I got nothing because they said they have nothing to offer me. I cannot believe how un-accommodating they where in todays day and age of how common allergies like this are. We were on our way to catch a flight and did not have time to leave and go else wear because the staff was slow to get to us. I would NOT recommend coming here if you have any allergies. They will not be taken seriously or accommodated.

Went in for happy hour and to watch the game. Paid $20 to bring my own zero wine which was discounted from an alcoholic corking fee. My only complaint is I wish they had zero % wine on the menu and not just zero near beers as I am sober and celiac. Hopefully one day! Staff was nice, moved us to a better seat to see the screen when we asked. Atmosphere was great and chatted with our neighbouring table. Would return if they brought zero wine in :)

Delicious sea food and gluten free options

Jeff Pello

Great food, okay service, Hong Kong atmosphere. Feels like in Hong Kong movies in the 80s. Gluten Allergy, so the rice base food is OK, should've bring my own soy sauce.
