Dietary Restrictions
Allergies & Modifications
Nisei can accommodate most severe allergies with advance notice; however, given the tasting menu format, not all preferences or aversions can be met. To preserve the intent of the cuisine, the following items cannot be removed:
- Salt, sugar, soy sauce, egg cooked into items
- Trace amounts of alliums, mushrooms, ginger
- Seaweed, cooked-off alcohol, vinegar
Please contact us at least 48 hours before your reservation to confirm we can safely prepare your menu. Same-day changes may not be possible. For very severe or multiple restrictions, email us to ensure a safe modification plan.
