For fully gluten-free sushi in NYC, start with Nami Nori or Sushi Counter. Nami Nori is the sit-down choice for temaki, fried appetizers, and dessert from a menu that labels every food section gluten-free. Sushi Counter is the quick, lower-cost choice for portable rolls, including gluten-free tempura shrimp. This is a short list because ordinary sushi has more hidden gluten than it appears to: soy sauce, eel sauce, imitation crab, tempura crumbs, and shared tools can all change the answer. We checked current menus and kept the drink and cross-contact caveats visible.

Checked by Sansglu

Both featured food programs currently identify their sushi, sauces, and prepared menu items as gluten-free. Nami Nori also serves a beer that is not labeled gluten-free, while Sushi Counter publishes less facility detail than its item-level menu. Confirm the current setup when you order. Last checked August 2026. Read how Sansglu evaluates restaurant safety signals.

1. Nami Nori

Temaki · Fully gluten-free food menu

33 Carmine St · West Village

100% gluten-free kitchen

Start with the signature temaki set, then add chicken karaage or furikake fries. The current menu also labels its mochurros and sesame miso chocolate-chip cookies gluten-free.

The current ordering menu labels every appetizer, temaki, dessert, party kit, and extra gluten-free. It also says special requests cannot be accommodated. Check the drink itself before ordering: the beer list includes Green's dubbel ale labeled gluten-free and an Echigo Flying IPA that is not labeled gluten-free.

2. Sushi Counter

Australian-style rolls · Takeout

119 Christopher St · West Village

100% gluten-free kitchen

Build a three-roll pack with spicy tuna, salmon, and tempura shrimp. The current ordering menu explicitly labels the tempura shrimp gluten-free and also lists gluten-free miso soup and sauces.

Sushi Counter is the fast takeout option, with compact Australian-style rolls and gluten-free sauces. Its current brand site forwards to location ordering, and the menu labels each item rather than publishing a detailed facility protocol. Mention celiac disease and confirm the current soy sauce and prep setup at the counter.

Gluten-free in New York, answered

Where can someone with celiac disease eat gluten-free sushi in NYC?

Nami Nori and Sushi Counter are the clearest current choices. Nami Nori offers a fully gluten-free food menu built around temaki. Sushi Counter offers portable rolls, gluten-free sauces, and gluten-free tempura shrimp. Confirm the current setup when ordering because menus and beverage programs can change.

Is Nami Nori completely gluten-free?

Nami Nori's current West Village ordering menu labels all appetizers, temaki, desserts, party kits, and extras gluten-free. The beverage list includes Green's dubbel ale labeled gluten-free and an Echigo Flying IPA that is not labeled gluten-free, so check drinks separately.

Is gluten-free soy sauce enough for someone with celiac disease?

No. Tamari solves only one source of gluten. Eel sauce, imitation crab, tempura crumbs, marinades, shared cutting boards, and pre-seasoned fish can still contain or contact gluten. Ask about the whole preparation flow, not only the soy sauce.

Can gluten-free sushi include tempura or crunchy rolls?

Yes, but only when the batter, crumbs, sauce, and fryer setup are all gluten-free. Nami Nori labels its fried appetizers gluten-free, and Sushi Counter labels its tempura shrimp roll gluten-free. A gluten-free label on the roll does not establish a dedicated fryer at another restaurant.

Where can I get gluten-free sushi takeout in NYC?

Sushi Counter is the direct takeout choice, with portable rolls and multi-roll packs. Nami Nori also sells takeout temaki sets and party kits from its West Village and Williamsburg ordering menus.

Checked, not on the list

Sushi W: Its current FAQ says the regular soy sauce contains gluten and warns that cooking and serving materials can cross-contact gluten. It can accommodate, but it is not a dedicated gluten-free setup.
Koi New York: The current menu marks some items gluten-free but states that the kitchen is not a gluten-free facility and cannot guarantee zero allergen exposure.
Sushi Nakazawa: The restaurant says it can accept most dietary restrictions, but it does not publish a fully gluten-free kitchen or menu. We left it off this dedicated shortlist.
