Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

100%
Excellent

Honestly, Sushi Counter feels like the kind of place celiacs dream about but rarely find—a dedicated gluten-free sushi spot run by someone who truly gets it. The owner is celiac, so every hand roll, from shrimp tempura to teriyaki chicken, is crafted with an uncompromising sense of safety (and joy). You’ll notice right away: no second-guessing, no menu math, just pure freedom to choose anything—yes, even the tempura. It’s grab-and-go, casual, and a little quirky, but walking in here means you can finally breathe out and eat sushi with zero fear of cross-contact.
