Benihana

I got sick within 30 minutes of eating I was pretty disappointed. Also the gluten sensitive fried rice was incredibly salty it was not good and was dark brown ( I’ve never had dark brown fried rice) I also arrived to their curbside pick up and texted their number and waited for ten minutes no reply I went inside and my food was just sitting there.

Yay! Yet another Benihana location I can eat at. They seem to have recently created a "gluten sensitive" menu, and they will prepare your food separately either in the back or at the table. I opted to have my food prepped in the back to avoid the delay at the table (since they would cook all gluten free food first) and it was delicious. Definitely recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Stay away. Staff has no idea what is gluten free. Lied to me after I asked MULTIPLE times about the soup being gluten-free. It’s not. Im horrible I’ll and they ruined a good night.

We dined at Benihana for Mother’s Day and it was fantastic. The server, Magic (if I understood her name correctly), was phenomenal and understood allergies extremely well (I have celiac and also have to avoid dairy, and my husband and daughter have shellfish allergies). She made my soup without the fried onions and brought me oil and vinegar to go on my salad, and then made sure the chef knew to use gluten free soy sauce and not to use butter on my food. Chef Chico was extremely accommodating - to the point that he cleaned the grill twice to make sure that no gluten or dairy made it into my food. I cannot say enough great things about them! We will definitely be back!

Benihana was very sensitive to my son's celiac disease. They communicated clearly to the chef and my son was not served the soup but instead received 2 salads with yum yum sauce instead of the regular dressing. His entree was prepared separately in the kitchen to avoid contamination from the griddle. He was also given an order of edamame as part of his meal for free. We were very pleased overall with their precautions.

Gluten Friendly menu - not safe for Celiac due to cross contamination even if you specify. We were served the wrong soup and salad dressing and the chef was very accommodating but it was impossible to avoid cross contamination.
