While researching places I could eat when I was in Tokyo, Japan I often came across reviews of Gluten Free T's Kitchen. The reviews were postitive and when I checked out their website I found out that this is the first certified gluten free restaurant in Japan. I just had to give it a go! Even before leaving for Japan I had made a reservation for lunch. I choose lunch as I had read that it was a small place, fills fast and if you wanted your choice of the menu then you needed to get there early before they ran out of items for that day. Above is a photo of the dishes my husband and I tried that day.

I was so excited for lunch. Here is what the place looks like from outside. You can eat here with confidence if you are a celiac, as they definitely understand what a celiac can and can't eat. They can accommodate other food allergies/intolerances/lifestyles too. They have dairy free, vegan and soy free options.

They are located on the 2nd floor at 7-8-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Check out their website for additional information https://glutenfree.co.jp/. From their website, it looks like they are closed on Tuesdays.

I definitely recommend reservations because the restaurant is small and can get busy. The inside had a nice atmosphere, but I found the chairs uncomfortable. I'm a short person and the chairs are tall with those little foot rest things. I would have preferred a more comfortable seat. We had the window seat which was lovely as it was great to watch people walk by. I loved the little baskets that most Japanese restaurants have at each table for you to put your purse/bags in, so that they stay under your table and are off the floor.

I loved their menu board. Very artistic. The area in front of the restaurant door is small and I think they have used the space well, and created a very welcoming and fun entrance area. Because I was excited about trying out this place we had arrived early, so I had time to study the menu.

I really enjoyed the fried chicken. This was the best dish we ordered in my opinion. Breaded and fried things are difficult for a celiac to find even in my country Canada, so it was one dish I just had to try. The portion was huge, so you can share for sure. The chicken was succulent and the coating crunchy. Loved the honey mustard sauce. I would order this again.

The miso butter corn ramen was tasty. The noodles were nice, not too soft or hard. I loved the tasty broth. Not sure if I'm a fan of raw beets on my ramen. I love beets, but didn't think they went with ramen. I would like to try their other ramens. They had a vegan one too.

My husband had a fried onion, vegetable and egg on rice. The first taste was good. We both love fried onions, but after a few mouthfuls the sweetness of the dish became a little overpowering. Would not order again.

I was disappointed in the vegetable spring rolls. They looked great, but had a very strong overpowering mushroom flavour that I didn't like. Also, they didn't come with a dipping sauce. I love a good sweet and sour dipping sauce.Would not order again. On the menu they do have dumplings which I would like to try.

Other menu items I heard were good were the okonomiyaki and the chicken yakisoba. I would like to try them in the future.

Overall we had a good experience. There were some hits and misses with the dishes. I did find the prices were high compared to non-gluten-free restaurants. Have you been to Gluten Free T's Kitchen? What was your experience like? I really appreciate that everything on the menu is gluten free and that they are certified gluten free as I felt very confident eating there.
