One our favorite gluten free restaurants to go to. We’ve been to the one in Brooklyn and Montclair. The appetizers were great, especially the tempura and nori salad. The makis were great also. We will be back again!

The food is exquisite, service was ok, a bit loud ,one thing is annoying- you have to finish food in 1:30 min because there is another reservation pending They serve fast but you can’t enjoy the conversation, your ti is limited and hostess reminds you about the time.
