FM Posted July 31, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If a person is allergic to shell-fish, then it would be pretty impossible to dine at Teppanyaki correct? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted July 31, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If a person is allergic to shell-fish, then it would be pretty impossible to dine at Teppanyaki correct? ThanksNo, it would not be impossible, it would be easy. Just tell them about your allergy and they will probably cook your food first, so there is no cross contamination.

love to read Posted July 31, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2016 My wife an i are going to skip this venue on our upcoming cruise in September due to me being allergic to shell fish. The problem with them cooking your meal first is that you are finished your meal before the rest of your party. We celebrated a birthday for one of my sisters a few years back at a similar restaurant and they cooked my meal at a separate station in the back. I was finished my meal prior to the cook starting for the rest of the party. It was quite boring to sit and watch them enjoy the different courses.

cb at sea Posted July 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's not impossible...but it's certainly not the "whole experience"! They don't combine the different meats/seafoods, but they are all cooked on the same surface.....yes, they will cook your meats 1st...before they do the other meals, just to make sure no seafood is on your food.

sjbdtz Posted July 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2016 They actually have 2 options. 1st is they cook your food first. This only happens at the first seating of the day (5:30). Otherwise they don't have time to do an allergy-level sanitize of the hotplate. 2nd option is they cook your food on a fully sanitized allergen-free cooktop, in the galley. This is the safest if the allergy is really severe. We go to Teppanyaki on almost every trip, and I'm allergic to shellfish. Stephen . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin&Relaxin Posted July 31, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If a person is allergic to shell-fish, then it would be pretty impossible to dine at Teppanyaki correct? Thanks Absolutely NOT! Talk to the staff at NCL and at the restaurant. Let everyone know. Tell the Maitre De, the servers and the cook. You will be accommodated. Communication is the key. I similarly avoid any and all fish. Not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisewmn Posted July 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm allergic to shellfish, dairy, gluten, and nightshades, yet I've eaten at the Teppanyaki restaurant numerous times without incident. They cook my meal in the back and bring it out in time for everyone's main course. Don't let your allergy keep you from enjoying this experience.

b00br Posted July 31, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Just had Teppanyaki on Dawn last week and our chef cooked the seafood entrees last. Not sure if it was purely logistical (they take the least time to cook) or out of consideration for allergies but I'm sure if you asked it wouldn't be a problem, as long as you're not sensitive to the point that even the cooking fumes bother you.

LrgPizza Posted August 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Twice we've had people with shellfish allergies at our table. No, they don't get their food before everyone else. They simply get it before those who ordered shellfish. In our case, that was 2 out of 9 people. They had about a 2 minute head start on their meal. Big deal. The rice and veggies are served first anyway, so everyone was dining together. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM Posted August 1, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks - everyone's opinion was very helpful. Would love to try this experience - just have to make sure DW is upwind of any fishy smell - lol :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frick_&_Frack Posted August 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2016 My DH had the airborne variety of shellfish allergy (in addition to ingestion). Teppanyanki was a no-go since it was in the air. Just pointing it out if the allergy is airborne. :( It was a bummer in a lot of restaurants due to the seafood being cooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjbdtz Posted August 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2016 One more detail...the Miso Soup is off the list for shellfish allergies too. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevCruise Posted August 2, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 2, 2016 2nd option is they cook your food on a fully sanitized allergen-free cooktop, in the galley. This is the safest if the allergy is really severe. They did this with my dad's celliac allergy. His food came out just as ours was being plated.
