A super quirky place!! The decor is really cool! At first, it took us a while to understand the system, but then it was great! My little one is celiac and was able to eat without any problems because they understand cross-contamination! Something that doesn't happen very often around here. I also got a vegan okonimiyaki, which was delicious. They come in two sizes: M and L. Despite ordering M, we couldn't finish them, but they're prepared. There are trays where you can get as many containers as you need, and a bag to carry it in. The experience was very pleasant.
Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋
They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

Holy cow!! What an incredible meal. To be anywhere in the world, let alone Japan, and have an entirely gluten free meal is a real treat. I can’t even eat like this in the massive American city where I live. This was dreamy. Incredible food and service in an intimate and comfortable space. Very affordable for what you get. 1,000,000/10!!!!
Delicious pork kaatsu and Japanese fried chicken (and French fries). Non-GF family members were impressed with quality and authenticity. Hope to eat here again while we are in Kyoto!

my family and i had the great privilege of dining at the teppanbaby. my celiac mother had an amazing meal and my little brother ate some amazing chicken and rice. the staff is AMAZING and definitely a highlight of my trip!!
The most fun restaurant I have ever visited! It's basically a one-man band, with the owner doing pretty much everything: cooking, serving, cleaning and dealing with customers. The restaurant is a minimalist's nightmare, but it actually has its charm, with a lot of handmade decorations and jokes all over.
The food was pretty tasty, with a fair variety of okonomiyaki, and there were plenty of gluten-free options, so it's good for celiacs.
Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food, and the experience.
I'll definitely visit again when I'm in town.
Loved this place!! Everything is gluten free (even the macaroni) however the okonomiyaki was certainly the highlight. It was great to not have to worry about cross contamination - cannot recommend it enough
Absolutely delicious chicken tikka masala. Cozy place and very friendly staff. The owner is very knowledgeable about gluten, and all the curries were gluten free.

Honestly, the tacos were up there with the best tacos I’ve ever had. We are both gluten free and dairy free and the staff accommodated us so well. The atmosphere and vibe was top notch, and the staff & chef are SO lovely. I would love to come back here with friends, it’s got such a fun vibe. It’s small which makes it feel even more special. We didn’t have any drinks, but we saw they have great quality tequila & good selection of drinks. Great value for money, good portion sizes & excellent experience all round.

Atmosphere was chill and lounge-y like a hip living room or speak easy from the 1920s. Felt like a secret 一言こだわりclub. It was 80% foreigners a from all over the world, so we felt comfortable speaking and laughing at normal sound levels without worrying about disturbing others. The Japanese there seemed happy to have lively foreigners - unlike a lot of places in Japan these days.
Also, there was another restaurant nearby that had a sign that said VEGAN but later said “sorry that’s just “design””.
This restaurant doesn’t just have a vegan menu, but rather can make vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or MEAT versions of almost everything on their menu!
YALL. Run don’t walk to this bakery. Not only was everything dairy and gluten free but everything, but one dessert, was nut free too! Wow. I highly recommend the black sesame waffle ice cream.
I want to come back again 💕
The gluten-free tacos here were insanely good, I had 8 of them and honestly could’ve kept going! The staff were super helpful and knew exactly what was gluten-free, which made me feel safe and taken care of.
The atmosphere was spot-on with a great Mexican vibe, and the music? Absolute fire 🔥
Highly recommend this place, especially if you're gluten-free and love tacos! 🌮 🤤🤤🤤

Had a really good GF breakfast with roasted veggies - poached eggs - and sausage. It’s been hard to find a place that is GF and has veggies … so this was appreciated. The meal was big. But we are traveling today and won’t find another GF meal for a while.
・It was a very good shop, I will repeat it.
・Vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian meals and desserts available
・I feel healthy and feel good even when I eat sweets without feeling guilty
・It tastes and looks good, so I simply made it gluten-free.It was completely different from the restaurants I had eaten at in the past.
・I want to try the food menu next time.
・Personally recommended
I've been here for lunch several times. I really liked the sea urchin pasta here, which was also made into gluten-free noodles, but to be honest, it was bad this time. There were fewer sea urchins, and I felt that the amount was small. The female staff member also kept asking, "Would you like some water?" and interrupted the conversation. The dishes were cleaned up as soon as I finished eating, and it wasn't busy, so I stayed for about 40 minutes before heading home. Honestly, including the drinks, the lunch costs over 2,000 yen, and it's far from the station, so I don't think I'll go there again.
Very good Hot Pot in All you can eat formula. You can choose whether to eat beef, pork or both, the price changes slightly. The waiters speak English and are very helpful towards customers. We were served by Sota and Masaya who were very professional!
Suitable for celiacs, they are very careful about contamination, a great place!
Very easy to order Gluten Free food (intolerant). We used google translate and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The skewers were great. The cheesy squid wasn’t my cup of tea. The bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes and Camembert were delectable
We ordered a double cheeseburger and a burger on lettuce, which you can add any toppings you want. It was delicious.

I stumbled upon this place accidentally, and was pleasantly surprised. I have been eating at all these other Japanese omakase restaurants that were very serious and quiet, so having an experience at a lively and boisterous place was a welcome change! The food was good and service was quick, would definitely come again. I am pescatarian and gluten-free, and I was able to order things I can eat.
Cool atmosphere, like a retro bar. Not a ton of seating but wasn't really crowded when I arrived. Amazing burgers, and made mine gluten free by placing on lettuce. This place is a great find! Will definitely stop by again.
We had the most incredible experience at Sushi Toshi! We're a bunch of ladies on a business trip with Enagic Kangen Water and we happened to come across this restaurant as we were looking for somewhere for dinner at short notice. A family from Sydney were coming out as we walked past and told us how good it was and we love a personal recommendation! Kento was so accommodating and our friend has celiac disease, so finding gluten free options has been difficult but not impossible in Japan. All of the food was made in front of us and we had a wonderful time, joking and having fun together. Excellent service, excellent food. Highly recommend! Say hi to Momoko (Dad) and Kento (Son) from us! (Kento speaks fluent English too). 🫶🏾
Cool small spot with great curry dishes! Food has a homemade feel which was great after doing take out all week. Seemed like all the food was gluten free.

This was a great find for my family. Very well organised with super quick service and great gyoza, fried chicken and ramen. Like most other Japanese restaurants there are no gluten free or allergy friendly options.
Really friendly staff - amazing service, gluten free menu; there was a mix up with one of our meals and the staff went above and beyond to correct it; all round positive experience
Delicious gluten free tacos! Staff was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy, the fish tacos are batterer but the rest are GF. Loved the vibe in this place with lots of places to sit. Great frozen margaritas too!
4 minutes walk from Futakotamagawa Station.
This is a restaurant with terrace seating facing an alley just off Tamazumi Street.
There are several dog-friendly seats inside the restaurant as well as on the terrace, which is very helpful.
Lunch was in the 1,000 yen range and had a large portion, making it a very cost-effective restaurant.
There are gluten-free pastas and Mexican plates, but are they really gluten-free? It's so delicious that you wouldn't believe it.
