Benihana, a renowned Japanese restaurant, has been a family favorite for many years. The dining experience is elevated by the exceptional performance of Chef David Lee, whose quick wit, adaptability, and sincere desire to ensure a top-tier experience captivates the guests, creating an atmosphere of laughter and enjoyment. The staff is described as friendly and professional, dedicated to their jobs, which adds to the overall experience. Although there were some concerns about how birthday coupons are accepted and a lack of ice cream offers during recent visits, the delicious food and the remarkable presence of Chef David Lee make for an overall memorable dining experience. Many guests have enjoyed celebrating special occasions, appreciating the fun atmosphere and good food, and they look forward to returning to Benihana.
The service at Benihana is often praised, with the general manager working as a waitress to ensure everything runs smoothly. The food is great, with the Benihana Delight and Emperor's Feast being particularly recommended. Guests suggest upgrading to the fried rice, and the starter soup and salad are also flavorful. While the hosts may not always be welcoming, the overall dining experience is positive, with guests enjoying the large portions and fabulous food. However, some recent guests have noted a decrease in the level of entertainment from the chef, with less shrimp throwing and onion volcano displays, which was disappointing.
