Gluten-Free in West Village

Open-style temaki built to eat the second they hit the plate. Get the salmon and the lobster, and a set menu is the easy call on a first visit.

Founding chef Taka Sakaeda has celiac disease and the kitchen runs gluten-free, soy sauce included, which is why the celiac community treats it as a safe hand-roll spot. It's a small, popular group with a few locations, so it's worth a quick call to confirm the setup before you sit.

An all-gluten-free menu that runs from pizza and pasta to bowls and brunch, so order the things you normally skip. The pizza and the fried starters are the obvious wins.

Wild has run a 100% gluten-free kitchen since day one, now in a single West Village room on Hudson Street. The whole menu is gluten-free, fried items included. Good for dinner or a weekend brunch.

Build a roll or grab the chirashi, and use the gluten-free soy sauce that is standard here, not a special request. The spicy tuna and the salmon avocado are the reliable orders.

The owner is celiac and runs the counter 100% gluten-free, sauces and all, with certification in the works. That means the soy sauce, the most common hidden-gluten trap in sushi, is gluten-free by default. It's a quick, casual counter, good for a fast lunch.
