Kelp Sushi Joint

Kelp Sushi Joint offers a separate gluten-free menu if you ask, and the staff generally seem willing to guide celiac diners through safe options—though it's not a dedicated facility. You'll want to be extra clear about your needs, as some sushi rolls are fried and there’s no dedicated fryer, which means cross-contact can sneak in if staff aren’t vigilant. On the bright side, regulars with celiac have reported good experiences when they clearly communicate their allergy, but inconsistency in staff knowledge and procedures means it’s not totally stress-free. If you're craving sushi in Tampa and don’t mind advocating for yourself, this spot can work—but for those ultra-sensitive, caution is still the name of the game.
