The chefs are knowledgeable and accommodating with all forms of allergies. They always double check and ask what you ordered, cook the food first and serve you for hibachi. The sushi is always fresh and delicious too! Gf soy sauce and yum yum sauce available.

The chef was very educated about what had gluten and dairy in it. He was very nice and cleaned the grill between making my food and the rest of the parties food. However, if you have celiac you cannot eat here. They make the food on the same table as the food with gluten. They have gluten free soy sauce though, which is always a plus! The food was very good overall!!

The food is great here and the people are very nice. The problem is you will get glutened if you are celiac. It's very difficult to avoid cross contamination, and I thought the salad was safe ..finding out there is soy sauce in the dressing after eating it. Unfortunately I won't be able to eat there again and will be sick for a few days, but if you are not celiac I would encourage you to give it a try. Again, food is great, just don't eat the salad :( Sushi is safe!

There's no gluten free menu at the website. I called to ask. The hostess didn't know (!!). She then told me that all I would need to do was to ask for the gluten free soy sauce. Uninformed employee, no gf menu; why is it listed on this app? Gave one star because you can't give zero star.

Celiac friendly?

It is not on the menu, but when I asked for no soy sauce the waitress asked if we were gluten free. They gave us a bowl of gluten free soy sauce, cooked our food separately on the other side of the grill and wiped off the spatula. Not sure if it is celiac safe but they were very accommodating to gluten free and food was as good as any hibachi grill.

NOT SAFE for people who have allergies! I used to trust this restaurant but had the worst experience tonight. I told the waitress multiple times that I had a gluten allergy, then told the chef when he came to our table. Instead of cooking my meal first to prevent cross contamination (as they used to do) he cooked the food in both the regular wheat based soy sauce and gluten free soy sauce at the same time- using the same spatula and shared cooktop. He made no attempt to keep my gf food separate from the rest. I did not eat my meal due to the cross contamination. The manager comped my meal which I appreciate but I don’t think I’d be comfortable going back. To make it worse, another couple sitting with us joked that they were allergic to the shrimp when the chef put it on their plate- and laughed. One of the worst experiences I’ve had at a restaurant.

They have gf soy sauce. We have been to the Tysons location and they always cook all gf items first before any other gluten items. However, at this location the chef seemed annoyed. He did only use gf soy sauce for all members at the table (even the non gf members dining), but put noodles on the same griddle and didn't use fresh utensils. I requested he at least wipe off his spatula before moving back to the gf items, which he was irritated by, saying he has to cook for everyone. This was a non issues the Tysons location.

A MUST for celiacs. You can even partake in the Hibachi! The staff and chef are constantly asking about your allergy, making sure you are okay, cooking your food first. I would be very upset if this place ever closed now that I know it exists!
