Lovely place for gluten free sushi! 100% gluten free sushi place! Very delicious sushi! Would come back again (I am celiac).

Amazing place! Everything was delicious. The spider rolls are dramatic. The Oshi Sushi special was a favorite. Friendly, attentive service. If you’re GF you must go. If you’re not, you won’t know the difference!

Top tier gluten free sushi, some of the best I’ve had! Had great service and it was pricey but anyone who has a gluten allergy knows that it’s worth it to have good sushi again! Will definitely come back!

I bring my celiac kiddo here every time we are in Vancouver. The food is amazing. (I can eat gluten and this isn’t “good for GF” it’s just plain good!) Plus it’s so amazing to be able to bring my kid somewhere where they can eat anything on the menu. Thank you!

It's a gluten-free restaurant. They use rice flour instead of wheat flour, so the tempura and fries are crispy and incredibly delicious. Since it's listed on the menu, people with allergies can safely choose from the options. The dishes are made by a Japanese chef, so they have an authentic Japanese taste.

Delicious food! We loved the nigiri, sushi rolls, tempura, gyoza, miso soup, and edamame! Everything was fantastic and the service was great. They can accommodate many allergies, including celiacs (gluten free soy sauce!). Very knowledgeable and professional staff.

It was my first time eating here. I have celiac disease and also only eat pork and fish for meat. This restaurant had the most options I have ever seen for my dietary needs. Our server Kai was the kindest person ever and made the experience a 10/10. So lucky to have this place in Vancouver. I could not be happier!! Thank you Kai. You’re amazing
