Top 12 Gluten-Free Sushi Spots to Explore in San Diego

Tim Street

This place is fantastic. I have celiac and a wheat/oat allergy and the staff was knowledgeable about all allergens for menu items. I had no bad reactions to the food afterward. The food is delicious too - I'm an omnivore who eats vegan/vegetarian a decent amount. It stands amongst some of my favorite restaurants ever (non vegan included). Did not think it being vegan detracted from flavor whatsoever. Highly recommend, especially if you have gluten sensitivity.

Great gluten free options with a well labeled menu. Our Waiter said everything that goes in the fryer is gluten free (fried chicken, potatos, fries, etc) Good prices too

Ate here for lunch between museums. Not crowded, rapid service, fantastic food, with great views from the outside seating of the surrounding valley. The gluten free fish tacos were great with the server taking the time to document allergies to the kitchen. The offer of a reward for a review is inappropriate and is always refused.

Jorge Zannatta

They have gluten free options!

Spencer Carroll

Fantastic service. Extremely Gluten Free Friendly, our server was knowledgeable about the menu and extremely diligent to make all our orders GF.

Food was delicious and service first rate. One of our party has celiac disease. They handled this easily with their gluten free menu. Can't wait to go back!

Caroline Papreck

I have celiac disease and Kappa has a lot of great gluten free options for rolls. Most rolls can be made GF. You can also ask for a GF menu from the server. They are well-versed in food safety to prevent cross-contact with gluten.

Super flavorful and fresh poke and sushi options. We also loved the samosa rolls. The servers are friendly and attentive and there are several gluten free options. They can accommodate all poke options as gluten free with gluten free soy sauce. We come visit everytime we’re in La Jolla.

Elisha Burns

The food and service was so great. Adam was very accommodating for my gluten allergy. Will be back!

I had a great Dinner at the bar. It was pretty slow at about 7pm on a Wednesday night with June gloom and heavy mist. My martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was great, bar tender very attentive and nice. My diver scallops were crazy good, cooked perfectly with potato gnocchi -all gluten free!! Menu is awesome and clearly delineates "dietary issues". So important for wheat and other allergies.

Meredith Manning

I love 40N Pho and Grille. My family goes here regularly and it’s always excellent! Plus, they have gluten free food. I recommend this place to anyone looking for good pho.

Always a great place to go with friends and family. They put on a great show and the food is high quality. Only thing I would change is add a gluten free menu, please!

We had sushi here, the food was amazing. However, the service was tooooo slow, we waited around 40 min between our first and second round of sushi order. They even took 20 minutes to bring gluten free soy sauce and any other little things we requested.

Sam

I got the shoyu ramen with gluten free noodles, added an egg and some spicy meat. I should have held off on the spicy meat (HOT!!) but the gluten free noodles were good and I liked having the option.

Gluten-free sushi options

Janelle Cortez

They were so helpful in warning me about which foods to avoid and which ones were safe to accommodate my food allergy. A good place for gluten free dining.

Kelsey Betsill

This is a hidden gem. We hit this place up on our way to Carlsbad while on vacation, and it was soooo good! The outside doesn't look like much, but the inside is nice. The food was so good we just kept ordering more items! We got 4 different sushi rolls, cucumber salad, salmon plate, undon noodle soup, and gyoza and it came out pretty quick and full of flavor. The service was excellent! Our waitress was on point and even accommodated our special request in regards to our kids. They have gluten free options. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

Always an enjoyable dining experience. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive while letting you enjoy your meal without much interruption. The rolls are flavorful, fresh, and portions always balanced well. A favorite go to restaurant to satisfy my sushi cravings 🍣 Lots of gluten-free items

Diana Tracy

The staff was very helpful and concerned that they handle my dietary needs appropriately. Serving gluten free sushi is always a challenge and I was most impressed with the personnel and level of service to keep me healthy and safe. Plus, they make darn good custom cocktails!

kristine pham

Service is top notch and the sushi is delicious. My husband and I prefer the 90 min sittings if they're available, otherwise the 50 min is not so bad. They can accommodate gluten preference (not celiac) which is a plus for me.

Aaron Stanek

Excellent flavors. Reasonable prices. Gluten free soy sauce on request.

Kathleen Hillenbrand

I loved the build your own sushi rolls option! I was able to get exactly what I wanted. They mark everything that has gluten on the menu which was super helpful.

I came here last night for my birthday and it was absolutely amazing. The sushi was delicious, tasted fresh and had so much flavor! Even the chicken bowl was amazing. not only was the food amazing but the service was outstanding. That was the best costumer service that I have ever encountered. Every single employee in that restaurant was super nice even the manager! I have an allergy to gluten and everyone was super accommodating. I really wish I got my waitress name but she was the sweetest person and helped make my birthday special, she checked everything I ate to make sure it didn't have gluten without me having to ask she her self took the initiative. I'm so glad I found this place, my new favorite restaurant will 1000% be returning as often as I can !!

Anshel Sag

It has taken me forever to leave a review but I love Sushi Tadokoro. The sushi is great and so are all the non-sushi items. Didn't get the Omakase because of a gluten sensitivity, but the sushi was great nonetheless. Not cheap, but make sure you book ahead and don't look at the prices, just enjoy. If you really want the full experience, then get the Omakase.

Christine Tan

Tasty sushi. Low decor high quality food. Great service. Quick eats. Gluten friendly.

Cody

Amazing sushi! The best I've had outside Japan. Plus they have a separate gluten free menu! The staff was very knowledgeable about it and also offered gluten free tamari sauce.

This was some of the best sushi I've ever had and I'm so upset I didn't take any photos to share! The Nigiri was incredible, absolutely melt in your mouth quality fish, and all the rolls were amazing as well. The chef was extra attentive to ensuring he put sauces on the side for my rolls as I am gluten free which was greatly appreciated.

Our favorite in San Diego north county. Great quality, reasonable prices, friendly staff. On the rare occasion they made a mistake, they bc protected it and added something extra too :) They are also good with allergy customers, ensuring no gluten, dairy etc

5 stars all around. Thank you Soichi for being my favorite restaurant in San Diego to dine at for the last 5 years. They are consistent in providing stellar sushi, friendly service with a smile, great hospitality, and a fun but chill ambiance. If it's your birthday, the chef will make you feel extra special with a serenade. They also consistently provide gluten free omakase at the restaurant; I feel just as welcomed as any other diner. Thank you always. Parking isn't bad. Reservations go out on the 1st of every month at noon; waitlists are available... stay vigilant and be patient. It's worth it!
