About Benihana

Benihana provides a mixed dining experience that is enjoyable for celebrations and family dinners. Some chefs, like Dennis and Irving, create a fun and engaging atmosphere, making meals memorable. Customers have praised chefs for being personable, entertaining, and even for their culinary tricks. The wait staff is often described as pleasant and efficient, contributing to a positive experience. The restaurant is clean and family-friendly, making it a great place to eat Hibachi in Anchorage. The food is well-seasoned, with dishes like scallops cooked perfectly and seafood dinners that are flavorful and delicious. Drinks are also enjoyed by diners. An added bonus is the opportunity to take pictures with a framed photo at the end of the meal, which many guests cherish. However, the restaurant can become crowded, leading to noise levels that may make conversation difficult and cause discomfort for some guests. Overcrowding affects the space needed for chefs to perform safely, and some guests have struggled to access their belongings due to limited space. Food quality has been inconsistent; some dishes like calamari and salads have been poorly prepared. The service can feel rushed at times, with checks arriving soon after the meal ends, leaving little time to enjoy the experience. Despite these issues, many visitors still find Benihana a good place for larger groups and enjoy the food, service, and lively atmosphere when everything runs smoothly. Parking is available in a large lot, but it can be difficult to find a spot during busy times.
