Benihana

Absolutely amazing!!! Gluten free menu and well educated servers

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate at the Chinese restaurant which is part of Benehana. The menu is chinese foods and shushi. The hostess was very helpful and knowledgeable. She said it’s probably not celiac safe because theres not a separate prep/cook area but they can clean the cooking surface and prepare it gluten free. My waiter did not seem to understand english well but did well taking my order. I had a vegetable and chicken stir fry (made without sauce) and the waiter brought out a bottle of gluten free soy sauce. It was very good and very reasonably priced compared to Benihana.

the kitchen was very accommodating and cooked all my food seperate

Celiac friendly?

Yes

staff understands gf needs!

I had a surprisingly good experience here. They immediately knew that I could not have salad dressing and they had gluten-free tamari that the hibachi chef used for everybody's meal, so as to not cross contaminate my food.

Obviously don't know anyabout being celiac. Contaminated all of my food and I knew I wasn't going to eat my $50 meal.

We did hibachi, and I cannot express how safe I felt eating here. All of my food was cooked before adding regular soy sauce to anything. I was able to enjoy all of my favorite things! The salad dressing and the fried onions in the soup were the only things I couldn’t have from the hibachi menu. Both the server and the hibachi chef were kind and thoughtful. Definitely coming back for the next special occasion!

I let our server know that I had celiac disease and could not consumer gluten in any manner. She went a got a manager, who promptly brought out a gluten free menu (I already had it on my phone), a bottle of GF soy sauce and verified that what I was order was GF and would be cooked in the back to avoid any cross contamination.

The food was wonderful, manager returned to make sure everything was right and handled correctly.

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!

Good experience. Knowledgeable about Celiac and other allergies and sensitivities. Cooked my food first on clean hibachi before cooking everyone else's. Was able to have salad with oil and vinegar and edamame (delicious). They provided GF soy sauce. Accommodated gluten and dairy allergy and allium sensitivity. Felt safe.
