Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

62%
Moderate

Namikaze stands out in Fresno for its broad menu marked with gluten-free options—think classic sushi rolls, poke bowls, and vibrant salads—making it a tempting spot for anyone tired of the usual, limited choices. The staff is reported to be knowledgeable about celiac needs and seems to take requests seriously, which always puts me a bit more at ease. That said, the kitchen isn’t dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contact remains a risk, and there’s at least one report of a celiac diner getting sick. If you’re extremely sensitive, proceed with caution and speak up about your needs—otherwise, it’s a breath of fresh air to find so many labeled choices in a place with creative Japanese-Californian flair.
