Okami Japanese Restaurant

Okami's official policy states the kitchen is not gluten-free and cannot guarantee completely gluten-free dishes due to shared facilities and trace allergen risk. The lunch buffet is self-serve with acknowledged cross-contamination. For the dinner all-you-can-eat menu, staff may accommodate requests if notified in advance, but the venue warns that completely celiac-safe meals are not possible. A single FindMeGlutenFree review reports a diner with coeliac disease had no reaction despite the venue's cross-contamination warning, but the site itself warns the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Okami's official policy states the kitchen is not gluten-free and cannot guarantee completely gluten-free dishes due to shared facilities and trace allergen risk. The lunch buffet is self-serve with acknowledged cross-contamination. For the dinner all-you-can-eat menu, staff may accommodate requests if notified in advance, but the venue warns that completely celiac-safe meals are not possible. A single FindMeGlutenFree review reports a diner with coeliac disease had no reaction despite the venue's cross-contamination warning, but the site itself warns the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Honest caveat: The venue explicitly states it cannot accommodate completely celiac or gluten-free dishes due to trace allergen risk in the working environment and supplied ingredients.

Halal

confidence 90% ·

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.

The venue explicitly states that its meats are not Halal certified and it does not purchase from Halal suppliers. This is a direct refusal to accommodate Halal dietary requirements.

Honest caveat: The venue states it does not purchase Halal-certified meat and is not Halal certified.

Reminder
