Japanese BBQ spot with a separate GF menu and GF soy sauce!

Really loved that our server was very familiar with celiacs and could steer my wife.

Sunda Lunch Catering was great. Our group liked the Chicken, Tofu and LOVED the Pad Thai. Our Vegan/Gluten-Free guest appreciated all the options available including the individual salad. The delivery order drop off was smooth. Sam was super helpful and made sure to check in with me every step of the way ensuring our order was correct and set-up the way we wanted. Thank you again (Nicole) for all your help with coordinating! I will definitely keep Sunda in mind for future staff events.

Cute little Cafe. Was looking for a place that had a gluten free menu while visiting. Server was friendly and knowledgeable and reassured me that they had a seperate prep area and cooked gluten free food on a seperate grill. I ordered the steak sandwich and fruit cup. Little pricey for a sandwich that was more veggie than meat. Fruit had a funny taste to it, maybe because it was out of season. Husband ordered regular steak sandwich as well, it was in a pita. He liked it. Daughter ordered chicken club and thought it was very good. They also gave gluten free dessert. I did not indulge in dessert. Overall, not a bad place to eat. If in Chicago again I would definitely stop in. I have Celiac and did not get sick from eating here, so that is a bonus.

Outstanding vegan restaurant. I especially enjoyed the green curry and the gluten free dumplings. I wish I lived closer. I'd come every day.

My husband and I ate dinner here on a Sunday and had a pretty good experience. I have gluten and dairy food allergies so I wanted to make sure I could get gluten free rolls and I was able to. The hostess was clueless and couldn’t even tell us if there were gluten free options, nor could she bother to put in the effort to hand my husband a menu when he asked. I wonder how many people with gluten allergies have not stopped here because of her since she was working during both our treks through the airport. Other than her terrible attitude, the waitress was very sweet and attentive and reassured us that the rolls could be made gluten free and the chefs were good about gluten allergies. She did mention that any of the rolls could be made gluten free and I believe the bowls can be gluten free also. We ordered 3 rolls to share (2 gluten free) and I had no issues at all. The portion size was large and the rolls were good- much better than supermarket sushi as other reviews have commented. They even had tamari. There wasn’t a lot of noise from people walking by and the chairs were pretty comfortable as well. If we have another layover at O’Hare while traveling, we will definitely be stopping again!

I adore this place. I'm vegan/vegetarian, and they have a whole, dedicated vegan menu. I'm so excited to try all of the items on it!! 😊 I have a friend with celiacs disease that can eat here because they tag items as GF. The gluten free friend didn't have any reaction to their cooking, so I believe they know what they're doing! We did let them know ahead of time, and the server was able to reassure us and pick some great options. 🥢 Their tiki drinks are also very fun and strong, so the higher price makes more sense to me for the area compared to other restaurants.🍹 I recommend the edemame, kimchi cucumber, sushi burrito, pad Thai, Thai curry, pad kee mao, and nasi goreng

Admittedly pricey even for a raw vegan restaurant, but overall fantastic raw vegan food! I'm also impressed that they even changed the pizza to make it gluten free using Cassava! My only complaint, albeit a big one, is I wish they used maple syrup or monk fruit instead of agave nectar. Best raw vegan restaurant in Chicago hands down!

Brandi Madar

The atmosphere of this place is 10/10! I loved the tiki bar / sushi vibes. It was cozy and inviting. They have a huge gluten free selection for food. The drink menu was great too. Everything was very aesthetically pleasing and tasty.

This spot has some of the best vegan and gluten free sushi in Chicago!

Jasmine

Such a good neighborhood spot. My boyfriend and I went here twice on our week visit to Chicago. We appreciate that they took a lot of care for his gluten allergy.

Sarah Kittel

Absolutely fantastic brunch experience!! Top notch food, drink & service, & very accommodating to a celiac (gluten free) guest.

Outstanding omakase experience. Jamel delivered a beautiful and well-timed meal that has left me thinking about it weeks later. They also did incredible with dietary restrictions, mine being gluten ♡

Emma Sipora Tyler

Love this place! Very hearty, delicious ramen. Their special sushi rolls are also great! My boyfriend has celiac disease and our server informed us they had limited gluten free options, but he got sushi (with tamari) didn’t have any reaction. $5 hot sake was a good way to warm up on a chilly evening 🍶

Dori H

Charlie was excellent. OP is very accommodating for Gluten Free. The short rib and scallop starter was delicious. Wish it was an entree. The scallop entree wasn't as good as we remembered from a couple years ago. Risotto was too al dente. The English peas tasted raw and the flavor wasn't balanced. The grouper entree was fabulous! Creme Brulee was the best we have ever had. Every cocktail was amazing. We definitely had a wonderful meal.

Megan Fey

If you have Celiac, or are sensitive to gluten don’t order from the “gluten free” portion of the menu- it’s not gluten free. I spent a the majority of my night violently ill from one of the dishes. (And did report it to the restaurant)

Kimberly Robb Baker

We've eaten at Ruk for YEARS as it's one of the only places we can find something every member of our family will love, and the food and service is always excellent. Our affection Ruk has only increased since one of our family members has been diagnosed with celiac. They take such good care to make sure everything we order is gluten free. They are kind and patient and offer fantastic ideas for substitutions. The food is delicious, from apps, soups and salads to noodles, curries and Sushi. Thank you, Ruk!

Came here for early dinner last night on a cold blustery day! Delish. Lifted our spirits. I loved that there was some low carb & gluten free options. Loved the addition of microgreens 😋 Study the menu in advance because there’s a lot of different options! Thank you so much for great hospitality.

Gillian Jacobsen

Amazing food and gluten free friendly.

T Mamola

Top notch service and super quality food!! Try the fat noodle pad Thai and the and the girlfriend loves the John Snow sushi roll and summer maki. The ramen is top notch, being delivered. Everything is packed up with care. My main squeeze is gluten-free and they have so many options. She also always asks for extra unagi sauce and they always give us more. The Crab Rangoon is super good. Amazing customer service, they always remember us on the phone.

Jane Wilberding

By far my favorite all you can wat sushi place in the City! Lots of options. I have celiac and they provided me with separate GF soy sauce and were very transparent about what I could and could not eat.

M Rogers

I often come here for lunch. The lunch specials are really tasty. They offer sushi specials with raw and cooked options. Also cooked meals like pad Thai and basil chicken. I enjoy the Thai iced tea. They are very welcoming to solo diners, which is much appreciated. I recommend the taro custard for dessert. I also have the ramen here, which they will make with rice noodles for gluten-free diners.

Christopher Kennedy

As always excellent. Eaten here before the pandemic and had the Maki, nigiri chef special for take out and it was excellent. The quality of the fish is always top notch and they are very aware/accommodating of gluten restrictions.

Stephanie G

My boyfriend and I ate here, the place was very nice and waitresses were very kind. They also have some gluten free options, pretty much all the sushi that doesn’t have anything crunchy or breaded is gluten free, along with asking for gluten free soy sauce. I got the roll with salon and cream cheese, it was so good!

Monica

Wonderful service from Ning, she was super attentive and helpful. I'm Gluten Free and wanted to try one of the Pad meals, but was unsure because of soy sauce but they were able to use Gluten Free Soy sauce and it was wonderful!! It was an easy swap and I can enjoy this kind of food again because of it and it means a lot. I also ordered the Mochi and they doubled checked the boxes and showed me to be double sure I could have which was very nice and appreciated. The food had beautiful presentation as well! There's only a few tables for dine in but didn't have any issues sitting down on a Friday night. We will definitely be back again!

Abby Lovaglio

Very accommodating to my families need for gluten free and very great food!

Gabe Lathrop

This is an amazing sushi spot in the Lakeview neighborhood. The restaurant is clean and quaint, with fantastic service, and a robust menu of the classics, as well as their own signature rolls. They are presented beautifully and tasted nothing short of fresh and delicious. We loved that they have several vegan options, and also carry gluten free soy sauce (available upon request)!

mary hodur

Coast sushi is always fresh and their special rolls are imaginative and so very tasty! The wait staff is attentive and answers all my questions. They work with me to help find gluten free options! And I love being able to bring my own favorite Saki!! Coast has not disappointed in the many years I've been coming here!

Rex Accavallo

Excellent! Extremely good quality. gluten-free options. Place is wicked small attached to a hotel. Highly recommended

Sarah

Incredible sushi and service! BYOB! Waitress was so friendly and attentive. We visited the fist time in March (2022) and are here again tonight (April 2022). They have gluten free soy sauce and are very accommodating with special requests (like removing crunch or bonito flakes).

We have dinner here at least twice a month, sometimes more, for years. Fish is fresh and it’s always good. They don’t have any super unique rolls or exotic fish, but they absolutely nail the basics. Kids eat at a reduced price, which is nice. Servers are always super attentive. They remember us, and usually bring gluten free soy sauce before I can ask for it. Staff is consistent as well, does not appear to be a lot of turn over, which I think speaks a lot about of a place is managed. They also give ice cream to the kids m, which they love. Good food, good people, great place. Highly recommended!

Love this place. We have been getting our sushi here for years. Unfortunately I found out that I now have to eat gluten free. The first time I called and asked, they happily put together some gluten free options for me. I have tried a couple times since, and the people that answer the phone don't know how to do it. I would love to continue to get sushi here. It would be super helpful if they just put together a list of the rolls they can do gluten free and then I can get a copy and ask for those each time. PLEASE.
