The restaurant said they understood what Celiac was, and at the beginning they were great. The Server catered towards my needs well. The soup and salad both had gluten, so for the hibachi dinner he let me sub Edamame instead (and it was a lot!). The sashimi always great too. I asked that they cook the food in the back and they didn’t. The cleaned the cooktop off really well (which I’m new so I’m not sure how safe that is) and cooked almost all of my food first. The chicken fried rice and the scallops in front of me using gluten free soy sauce. It was after this things got a bit bad. He cooked the rice and main dish for everyone else (for Hibachi) then when he cooked the veggies and shrimp (even though he sorta cleaned off the stovetop, he tried to put the soy sauce free veggies on my plate (I said no) and he put the shrimp on my plate with the regular soy sauce on it. Thankfully I was full at that point but made me really uncomfortable. I’m new to Celiac but I know that’s bad. So experience was so/so.

Something must have changed here recently, because I informed the host that I had celiac, and he had all of my food prepared in a separate gluten free kitchen. All of my food arrived at once, while my partner was having hers cooked on the griddle with the rest of the group. I felt very comfortable, and the host even walked over a few times to ensure everything went smooth. I have celiac and had no symptoms the evening or day after. I'd for sure eat here again.

NOT celiac safe!! Willing to make the food gluten free and use gluten free soy sauce but everything is cooked on the same stove and they use the same spatula for everything. Definitely got at least cross contaminated because i have major brain fog now, no stomach pain yet thank goodness. Would be great for someone who’s just gluten free but if you have an allergy i would avoid it.

Absolute dirtiest restaurant we’ve ever been in. Chef had no idea how to prepare GF. We had to stop him and ask for it to be prepared in the back. Our daughter still ended up getting terribly sick due to contamination.

Please note I only have experience eating the sushi so this review is only about that. I’ve had their sushi twice, once a few days ago and another two years ago, and I did not get sick. The sushi wasn’t the best tasting but still pretty good.

Spoke with the manager on the phone and while they offer gluten free and are very educated, he recommended not eating here if you have celiac because so much of the ingredient prep happens in a shared space. He was supportive of me bringing my own food into the restaurant, but I ended up just having a drink. Glad the manager was so educated to say it likely isn’t celiac safe, especially if you come in a few hours after opening when they have been prepping stuff for a while

Being a teppanyaki restaurant, you have full control of what’s being served to you. You can bring in your own condiments to cook the food with, chief among them being your bottle of GF soy sauce as they do not have it here unlike in the US restaurants (tip: I buy mine at Foodie grocery store here in Panama). The chefs I have dealt with have all been kind and understanding in making adjustments based on food intolerances. Shout out to Algemiro, Keiban (idk if I spelt correctly), and John. Those are my go-to chefs but there could be others too.

We used to drive all the way to Coral Springs to enjoy this place, so glad they added this location. They have gluten free soy sauce & many options. We love to come here for special occasions. Haven’t gotten a bellyache either. I always ask if our entire table can do gluten free just to be extra careful. They can do your fried rice in a pan in the kitchen for extra caution. Great job guys 👏

They ask about allergies, so two of us told the server of ours. The soup came out I would have assumed it was good to go but luckily our friend double checked and it is not gluten free. Why ask about allergies if you’re going to try to serve me exactly what I can’t have?? Almost had a really rough weekend

💔 GLUTENED ME 💔

I called ahead before making a reservation here, they assured me they had a gluten free menu and could accommodate. We arrived for our dinner reservation and I checked again. Yes, they assured me they had gluten free. I ordered gluten free Hibachi and stressed I was Celiac and that this was NOT just a dietary “preference.” We didn’t even get to the “meal” …

They brought me out the salad after we ordered and I asked if this was the gluten free one. They said yes. I began eating the salad and about 5 mins later the waitress comes out and nonchalantly says “oh this is actually the gluten free salad, the one I brought before has gluten” — I am already halfway done with it and am now ready to cry. I tell her that I’m going to be so sick — my husband got up to speak with the manager, and we left.

I’m so angry and SO sick.

DO NOT TRUST THEM HERE - they Glutened me so badly even after assuring me what they had brought me was gluten free ❤‍🩹🙊🤢🤒😵

I’ve been going here at least once a year for the past 6 years and never been glutened. The servers and chefs have all been very knowledgeable. Once they made my food separately in the back and brought it out, but usually they will clean the shared surface then make my portion first using gf soy sauce and making substitutions as needed. The side salad dressing has gluten, so they bring me oil and vinegar. I get an extra portion of salad instead of the side soup (which has gluten), and then I order the tofu dish, which they make with a gf soy sauce as the typical sauce used also has gluten. Everyone knows you come for the fried rice though and it does not disappoint. They have to omit the garlic butter and use gf soy sauce of course, but staff has always been so nice and accommodating. I was hesitant about eating from the shared cooking surface when I typically avoid cast-iron pans and wood cutting boards since I’m very sensitive and those have contaminated me before, but like I said, I’ve never gotten sick here so the high temperature cleaning seems to work

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.

Terrible. Service was bad and safety was bad. 🥹 We had a 430 reservations and weren't seated until 530. The man taking our order knew absolutely nothing about gluten free items. I explained to him I have an "allergy" and cannot consume any gluten under any circumstance. He proceeded to serve me with 2 gluten items: their soup (has gluten) and salad (contains gluten). Thankfully I had scoped out their menu in advance and knew this. The chef forgot to make my rice GF so I didn't get to eat them. Ordered the GF chicken. Almost immediately after eating the stomach ache began and I knew I was in trouble. Save yourself the pain and do not eat here. Run!

Went for dinner and they took it seriously. They told me that I couldn’t have the soup and brought me a salad with oil and vinegar. The ginger salad dressing had gluten. When the chef came out, they verified the gluten allergy. They had gluten free bottle of soy sauce. The 2 sauces contained gluten. The chef made my food first before everyone at the table got their food. The garlic butter that they used contained gluten the chef had told me and did not put it on my food. I felt very safe and would go back.

We order delivery from this location about once a week. I always get their gf chicken fried rice and haven’t been glutened, the gf sashimi, rolls and miso are okay but not great (too much seasoning ironically on the rolls, and the sashimi is thin and tiny, the miso is very bland and tastes like grocery store kind from powder). The fried rice doesn’t disappoint and at $6.70/ea for a big portion I sometimes buy extras and put them in the fridge for lunches.

We eat here 1-2 times a year. Chefs are great. Its best if you can fill up a table with friends to avoid cross contamination but even if you cannot we have had a great experience. They clean the grill extra and avoid using gluten until after my daughters meal (she is celiac) is cooked and served. They always remember no soup or salad dressing for her and bring out simple oul and vinegar for her salad...without us asking. My daughter has never gotten sick here and we appreciate the extra care they take.

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.

They have a gluten sensitive menu that’s pretty big. Before they started the cook asked if anyone at the table had any allergies. The cook used gluten free soy sauce for everything at the table just to be extra safe. The yum yum sauce is also gluten free. Most of the ingredients they use are naturally gluten free and they made my food first to reduce the chance for cross contamination. I got the hibachi steak with shrimp and the spicy chicken rice.

The food was very good and I had no reaction. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a hibachi table show.

I called before and they told me to inform my waiter of my allergy. They have a separate gluten sensitive menu with loads of great options. They asked the table if they could cook everyone’s food with gluten free soy sauce and the food was delicious. The services wasn’t great and the ambience was less than expected but it was celiac safe and I call that a win!

Had a great experience at Benihana. They were very careful and knowledgeable about Celiac and used gluten free soy sauce and knew to not provide me with the onion soup or dipping sauces. As well they cooked my meal first and my sides off to the side. Very pleased with a great experience.

Great experience here! My family loves this restaurant and I was so happy to find out that they could accommodate my allergy! Most of the menu can be made GF. They made my food first right in front of me with GF soy sauce before making everyone else’s. They served me salad with no dressing as the dressing has gluten in it. No soup for me since it also has gluten. The meal was so delicious, just as good as pre-Celiac and I did not get sick!

While there are many GF options, a separate GF menu and staff that is aware of allergies, this may not be the safest place for those with Celiac. They cook all the food on one shared grill in front of you, making it very easy for food to get cross-contacted with other people’s who order non GF items. It’s very risky and a little overwhelming to watch your food prepared in that way as someone with Celiac, which definitely takes away from the fun experience it is meant to be. Try at your own risk.

The chef told us he was new and it showed. There was clear cross contamination between my food and the rest of it, but I was almost more concerned with the risk of salmonella when the chef used his spatula on raw chicken and moved directly to serving vegetables (I would have complained if I wasn’t starving). It also rubbed me when he seemed to be mansplaining that I couldn’t have soy sauce… I have every food safety certificate in the state in addition to being gluten free, I know what has gluten! While I’m sure he’ll get better with more experience, it doesn’t help me right now. The server was knowledgeable, but had to be reminded and was very busy (as to be expected with a staffing shortage).

Manager was phenomenal. We placed a to go order during a very busy time with the hostess. She notified the manager, and he came out to tell us that he would personally be cleaning and cooking for us so it would take longer. They offered to call us when the order was ready. We enjoyed a nice walk along the water and when we got back, he notified us we couldn't have the onion soup with our order since the broth base has soy sauce already in it, but offered a replacement for us. He was very professional and clear on everything and all staff we interacted with were friendly and professional. At the last minute there was some confusion he found out about with butter (also allergic to dairy) so he went back and had them remake everything. He let us know and they did the redo as quick as possible. 100% A+ on taking allergies seriously and being professional from start to finish despite all the business and chaos of the restaurant that time of day. Great food too! Highly recommend.

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.

I came to Benihana for my dads birthday and the chef cross everything using same utensils and also added the garlic butter which has gluten to everything. If you reserve an entire table and everyone is gluten free you probably could be safe. But if you’re just a small party this isn’t the place to go. I went an hour ago and am now very sick. If you are celiac don’t go here.. the chefs aren’t informed on cross contamination and it will make you sick.

The server made sure that I was taken care of and was very helpful. The chef made my food first to avoid cross contamination. I had the Splash and Meadow which is steak and shrimp. Couldn’t eat the side salad dressing so I asked for oil and vinegar. Couldn’t eat the soup or the 2 dipping sauces. Also got the chicken fried rice w/ gluten free soy sauce. Overall great food and service.
