We’ve been here a couple of times, based on the excellent reviews. Both times, staff were rude and lacked knowledge about gluten. I started getting worried when the waitress told me she thought the steamed buns were gluten free. Got much more worried when she brought out the “gluten free” soy sauce—actually low sodium soy sauce with wheat.

Food cooked in the kitchen. The only problem was timing. Everyone else at the hibachi table was done eating when

They have a gluten free soy sauce and they make your food separate from everyone else to ensure that it is gluten free!

We had a great experience at Kobe! I told the main server about my brother and I having Celiac and they were extremely accommodating. I am always nervous so i reminded everyone who served us from the chef and additional servers. There is a separate gluten free soup and salad dressing as well. They cook the gluten free foods on the hot top first and they do everyone else’s meal. It was so fun and I am so thankful we had that experience!

Excellent dinner! The chef prepared our dinner separately on the hibachi grill before everyone else’s. Our waiter communicated very well with the chef throughout our entire meal. Even our leftovers were wrapped separately from other family members.

We've been coming here for 35 years. Now that I am gluten free, ordering is more difficult. I asked for plain chicken and steamed rice. They cooked the chicken with everyone's minus the sauce but the chicken had bits of char from the grill on it still, garlic seasoning. They no longer use fresh chicken breasts It was pre cut pieces and probably preseasoned. Then I was charged the full price for the regular chicken meal so if you order it, take everything and take it homepreseason.

They cooked my meal before everyone else's to be sure mine was all cooked on the clean grill. There was only 1 gluten free item on the official menu, but I was told them could make anything gluten free for me. Gluten free rice beer is awesome! I love that they have gluten free soya sauce.
