Review of Sumo Hibachi & Sushi

I was really hesitant to go to a hibachi restaurant. I'd been avoiding them in the 6 years since my celiac diagnosis, thinking there was no way I could eat at one because of the soy sauce in everything and the hibachi style cooking. I called the restaurant ahead of time and was told I could be accommodated. When my server didn't know the answers to my questions, she found another staff member who did, and they prepared all of my food separately in the kitchen, away from the hibachi grill. My only complaint was that they served my food before everyone else's was cooked, so I had to cover my plate with a napkin the whole time the rest of the food was being prepped in order to avoid any stray soy sauce-laden food landing on my plate during the prep. The food was very good, and it was nice to not have to say no to celebrating with friends who wanted to eat at that restaurant. My food did not make me sick either, so that's always a plus.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
