Tanaka of Tokyo West

It has been 19 years since I have been able to eat teppanyaki due to my allergy to Gluten. It was my favorite way to celebrate with special people. But then celiac put a stop to it. No more!! Tanaka has answered a very easy and wonderful way to enjoy the show, service, and delicious food associated with this special type of cuisine. How? They have a special menu that clearly labels everything you can have and what modifications can be made. The chef asked everyone at our table what the orders were and what allergies there were. They made our food FIRST while the surface was clean so there would be no cross contamination! Everyone at our table was totally fine with getting a double show and allowing us an amazing and safe experience. GF tamari sauce instead of soy, oil instead of butter, everything was carefully detailed. I can't wait to go back, thank you SO much for allowing us to feel safe while celebrating.

We had the best experience. I have a gluten allergy and they did an amazing job ensuring that I felt was safe during the entire experience

Our family has dined at Tanaka of Tokyo (upstairs Ala Moana) for years since I was younger for our special occasions, and the chefs are always so wonderful. It was my first time eating there since I became gluten-free, and they were able to accommodate me on the salad, miso soup, and sauces, and ensured that things were gluten-free several times without me having to check once (though I know it is my responsibility ti check what I eat). Always grateful for their quality and entertainment.
