Pikunico
Celiac Safety Score
Pikunico feels like a breath of fresh air for anyone living with celiac—this is a dedicated gluten-free spot, so you can finally let your guard down and just enjoy fried chicken without second-guessing every bite. Chef Kuniko Yagi brings her Michelin-honed talent to Japanese comfort food, and nearly everything on the menu (apart from the clearly-marked sandwich bread) is safe for us. The kitchen runs on separate equipment, staff are well-versed in cross-contact, and the main fryer is exclusively gluten-free—no need to grill your server or stare suspiciously at your plate. Honestly, it’s a rare treat to walk into a place where gluten isn’t lurking around every corner; here, you can focus on the crispy chicken, vibrant salads, and sweet treats that actually taste like dessert.
