Review of Yokoso Japanese Steakhouse

Went to Yokoso for a birthday party and was initially a little nervous. My body is so sensitive to gluten that even the smallest amount will make me have terrible gastric problems, as well as horribly itchy skin. But I didn’t need to worry at all. Once I told them I was gluten intolerant I was assured over and again I would be well taken care of.

After I was asked basically what I was interested in for my main course, (chicken, shrimp, beef, vegetables, etc) I was walked through the menu with them pointing out exactly which dishes were GF already, or could be made GF. My order was written down, circled, with “GLUTEN FREE” next to it, so there was no chance of missing it. I felt extra safe with the food being prepared directly in front of me, because nothing could accidentally get messed up. The grill was cleaned extremely well, and every bit of my food was cooked before anyone else’s food. Gluten free dressing and sauces were all brought from the kitchen in separate containers. Naturally, there was a mountain of food, which was absolutely delicious!! My husband tasted mine and said he could tell no difference between mine or his. That’s quality. And for the record, I had no adverse reactions whatsoever. Super happy!!
