⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination is a real concern to consider for anyone with celiac disease.
- Official materials acknowledge that all allergen elimination cannot be guaranteed, and grills in hibachi-style cooking involve multiple items cooked on shared surfaces.
- A recent review notes a day when gluten-free accommodations could not be made due to being short-staffed, underscoring how operational factors can impact safety at times.
- There are reports of staff being knowledgeable and willing to adjust (cook gluten-free portions first, use gluten-free sauces), but there are also inconsistent experiences and warnings about mislabeling or menu changes not being updated.
