Fantastic meal in a beautiful setting! Our chef was extremely careful about showing us the GF Kikkoman Soy Sauce and I can honestly say my steak was like butter! I’ve never had such tender steak at a Benihana. We’d definitely recommend.

They took my celiac very seriously and said they treat gluten allergies and celiac just as careful as a shellfish allergy. They were very knowledgeable about what items are gluten free or could be made to be gluten free and what items couldn't. They were able to make me gluten and dairy free fried rice, habachi chicken and vegtables all using clean utensils and cooking space. They also cleaned their supplies to make me the most delicious California rolls that would not have any cross-contamination! I am an extreamly sensitive celiac and I was very pleased with how careful they are here!! I even got to-go food here and everything was very carefully separated and marked with "Gluten Sensitive" stickers!

Went for dinner and they took it seriously. They told me that I couldn’t have the soup and brought me a salad with oil and vinegar. The ginger salad dressing had gluten. When the chef came out, they verified the gluten allergy. They had gluten free bottle of soy sauce. The 2 sauces contained gluten. The chef made my food first before everyone at the table got their food. The garlic butter that they used contained gluten the chef had told me and did not put it on my food. I felt very safe and would go back.

Most of menu is actually GF. If others at the table are eating GF, they will prepare GF first. Also have GF soy sauce.

The restaurant said they understood what Celiac was, and at the beginning they were great. The Server catered towards my needs well. The soup and salad both had gluten, so for the hibachi dinner he let me sub Edamame instead (and it was a lot!). The sashimi always great too. I asked that they cook the food in the back and they didn’t. The cleaned the cooktop off really well (which I’m new so I’m not sure how safe that is) and cooked almost all of my food first. The chicken fried rice and the scallops in front of me using gluten free soy sauce. It was after this things got a bit bad. He cooked the rice and main dish for everyone else (for Hibachi) then when he cooked the veggies and shrimp (even though he sorta cleaned off the stovetop, he tried to put the soy sauce free veggies on my plate (I said no) and he put the shrimp on my plate with the regular soy sauce on it. Thankfully I was full at that point but made me really uncomfortable. I’m new to Celiac but I know that’s bad. So experience was so/so.

Something must have changed here recently, because I informed the host that I had celiac, and he had all of my food prepared in a separate gluten free kitchen. All of my food arrived at once, while my partner was having hers cooked on the griddle with the rest of the group. I felt very comfortable, and the host even walked over a few times to ensure everything went smooth. I have celiac and had no symptoms the evening or day after. I'd for sure eat here again.

NOT celiac safe!! Willing to make the food gluten free and use gluten free soy sauce but everything is cooked on the same stove and they use the same spatula for everything. Definitely got at least cross contaminated because i have major brain fog now, no stomach pain yet thank goodness. Would be great for someone who’s just gluten free but if you have an allergy i would avoid it.

The waitress really knew her stuff when it came to things I could and couldn’t have. I felt safe with consuming food here. The chef did my rice first before everyone else’s. They are very accommodating when you let them know you are gluten free. They do have a gluten free menu!
