I recently had the pleasure of ordering from the DT San Mateo location via DoorDash, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I'm always a bit cautious when it comes to ordering sandwiches, but the Spiffy Tiffy exceeded all expectations. I specifically requested my sandwich to be extra toasted to ensure the texture of the gluten-free bread was just right, and Zeferino, the staff member responsible for my order, truly delivered. Not only was the bread perfectly toasted, but the amount of ingredients packed inside was generous and satisfying. What truly set this experience apart was Zeferino's attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. Upon calling to express my gratitude, Zeferino was incredibly humble and gracious, further exemplifying the outstanding service provided by this establishment. For those within the gluten-free community, you'll understand the excitement of finding a sandwich that not only meets your dietary needs but exceeds your taste expectations. I highly recommend the Spiffy Tiffy sandwich from this location to anyone seeking a delicious and gluten-free dining experience. Thank you, Zeferino, and the team at this location, for making this order a memorable one.

This place is an absolute gem! Family-run, welcoming, and serving up flavors you're not going to find elsewhere. Plus, it's safe for folks who are gluten-free or vegan. Minako operates out of a small takeout window with a couple of chairs out front. Judy, working front of the house, is so kind, fun to chat with and instantly became one of my favorite humans on the Peninsula. (If you're gluten free, ask Judy if you can check out her handwritten composition notebook filled with GF-friendly restaurant recommendations throughout the Bay and as far as Hong Kong, Italy and of course Japan.) Judy's mom is in the kitchen, preparing everything to order with ingredients made in house. Be patient, the food is well worth the extra care that's going into making it. You can taste the skill, thoughfulness and family history in the flavors, especially the small details. House-toasted sesame seeds bring a nutty pop to a chirashi bowl packed with high quality fish. Chicken katsu curry is topped with a complex, tangy sauce that takes a month to prepare, and the vegetables in the perfected balanced curry change with the seasons. Tamagoyaki is made in-house (in increasingly rare thing with most restaurants sourcing the egg dish premade). What a spot!!!

Wow, really impressed. Delicious pizza (I will be thinking about that spicy calabrese honey pizza for a long time) with good gluten free options (including GF crust). Really nice interior as well.

One of our staple restaurants- gluten free Chinese food is a rarity and they do it so well!

When you open the plastic lid, you can't help smiling to see the colorful bento. The quality is so much higher than any bento boxes you find at stores or restaurants. Not only these bentos are very delicious, colorful and healthy, you'll appreciate how carefully they were cooked and prepared. The owner, Mireille is very friendly and listen to our feedback to improve her products and service. There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten free menus and you can request brown rice, too. Highly recommended.
