RICE DTLA, Little Tokyo Safety 901

1. RICE DTLA

Japanese · Sushi & Ramen
333 S Alameda St · Little Tokyo
100% gluten-free kitchen · separate fryer

The lobster dynamite roll, the crunchy miso ramen on house brown-rice noodles, and shrimp tempura, all the Japanese dishes gluten usually takes off the table. Save room for the house-made ice cream.

RICE presents its Japanese menu as dedicated gluten-free, including the soy-sauce-sensitive dishes that usually need extra scrutiny. This Little Tokyo room sits in the space the old Shojin left, and there is a second RICE down in Manhattan Beach.

Little Tokyo gluten-free FAQ

Where can I eat gluten-free in Little Tokyo?

Start with the 1 dedicated gluten-free restaurant in this guide. Each listing includes map location, order notes, and a link to the restaurant page when available.

Are these Little Tokyo restaurants dedicated gluten-free?

The restaurants shown here come from the Los Angeles dedicated gluten-free guide. They are included because the source guide treats them as dedicated gluten-free kitchens, but diners should still confirm current ingredients and preparation practices before eating.

How does this neighborhood guide decide what to include?

The page starts with restaurants in the Sansglu guide dataset, then checks restaurant sourcing, menus, kitchen setup signals, and whether each spot has a publishable restaurant page. It is an editorial field guide, not a paid placement list.

What should I check before dining?

Confirm whether the whole kitchen is still gluten-free, ask about ingredients and prep changes, and use the live app page for current safety signals. The guide is decision support, not a guarantee of medical safety.
