Review of Benihana

Not safe at all. The chef knew about gluten but server did not. Although chef knew, he spilled regular soy sauce on flat grill and wiped it up (sort of) with a rag and proceeded to then wipe the rest of the grill with same rag. I should have walked out then...he did cook gf items first and separate but I was just stressed about the rag incident the entire time. Server did not understand gf and had to keep asking and then she brought me the regular spicy orange sauce for my protein and not the gf one (they look almost exactly the same except gluten sauce is spicy), the chef could smell the spice from across the table and luckily stopped me from eating it. I don't plan to go back, it was extremely chaotic and did not feel clean at all there. I've been to other benihanas, this was definitely the worst and people at our table said it used to be nice but has gone downhill in past few years.
