The Sansglu take
The place
Full Japanese kitchen running gluten-free end to end. Counter and table seating, sushi and ramen in one spot, no wheat flour on premises.
The gluten-free setup
100% gluten-free menu across the board. Dedicated GF kitchen, dedicated fryer, tamari used instead of regular soy sauce throughout.
What to order
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.
The move
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.
