Omi Sushi
Celiac Safety Score
Omi Sushi isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, and honestly, you can feel that gap the moment you start asking questions. There’s no gluten-free menu, and staff knowledge about celiac safety seems spotty at best—sometimes you’ll get a smile and a bottle of gluten-free soy sauce, but other times, it’s clear you’re on your own. The sushi itself can be delicious, but for those of us who need absolute certainty about cross-contact, the lack of written protocols or designated prep space makes every meal feel like a bit of a gamble. If you’re deeply sensitive or have celiac disease, this is one of those places where you’ll need to bring your own soy sauce, double-check every order, and weigh the risk for yourself—sometimes that’s just not the relaxing meal out we crave.
