We found after coming several times to dine in, the chef performing and cooking the food is key in having a fun, memorable and enjoyable experience. We got lucky, the chef: Machu ( maybe it s the wrong spelling, sorry) yesterday was great, he was fun, nice and a great chef!

The Chef was entertaining. The wait however was way too long. We got seated around 5:45 but our reservation was at 5:30. There were 9 people on our table which was a little snug. We asked if we can switch table to be more comfortable but they said the wait will be at least another 30 mins. So we just stayed. We waited for our chef to arrive about an hour later around 6:45! Kids were hungry. They brought out the soup and salad right away. The onion soup was so bland. We had to exchange it for miso soup.

Benihana is an excellent restaurant and the food is very good but prices are not commensurate with the portions. I also was disappointed because I made a reservation to treat a friend from India and was trying to get there by 3pm for the lunch menu. By the time we parked and walked into the restaurant it was 3:08 & Benihana would not honor my reservation or the lunch menu and lunch prices. We ended up paying full dinner prices and it dampened our visit. I will not go back to Benihana's due to this experience and the outrageous prices

Reservation was delayed due to not enough staff available in bar area. There was only one other table sat in the bar but service was subpar during the 90 minutes that my party of 2 were there.

The experience was cool, the wait was long. Usually for Teppanyaki it's about an hour or less, even with a full table... this was waaay over an hour. The chef was great! But the timing could have been better.

Edited to add: Turns out our card was charged a total of SIX times and we were only refunded for one charge. Now we are dealing with a huge hassle since our card company thought it was fraud. The manager assured my husband the card did not go through. We had no idea he ran it this many times. So unprofessional. Was discouraged that even with a reservation, we waited 40 minutes to be seated, and another 40 before receiving our appetizers. Then after dessert, it took over 20 minutes to pay because the card reader kept losing WiFi signal. The manager charged our card 3 times, then had to refund two of the charges. He apologized and gave us coupons for our next visit, but that requires us to rerun which I'm not sure we will after this. The food was good and our chef and server were fine, but wow. The reservation and payment systems feel more like an old Applebees and at these food prices, that's frustrating.

Made a reservation waited 30 mins regardless. The host that sat us was so diamond you couldn't hear anything she robotically said . The waitress ok did the minimum, the chef was caring and made sure everyone's order was right. You can tell he was new but he did his best. So I'm not sure if I'll do Benihana again. The price didn't match the value

I went with family to celebrate my birthday . The service was spot on by our waitress she served us with joy she catered us like royalty . Our chef was amazing . He was very friendly and entertaining! We been to Benihana's often he was absolutely the best we had it made our night special! The vide was excellent I think his name was Iggy ! Next time we go we definitely will be requesting he be our chef again! Great job! You made my birthday memorable!

Our shared table was dirty and the plates had oil that had dripped from the smoke hood. Service was very good and chef did a good job cooking and entertaining.

Geremie was an amazing chef. He made it so much fun for the first timer in our group. The other group we sat with had a birthday to celebrate and they seemed like they had a great time as well.
Had such a great time! Our cook Eric was energetic and funny ! He had us laughing through his time cooking our food ! Food came out delicious as well. Shoutout to Eric for giving us a great time at Benihana :)

We came here to celebrate my son's birthday, and it couldn't have been a better choice! We ordered the 6-course specialties. The steaks were incredibly tender and flavorful, and the scallops were absolutely delicious. Chef Ryan made the entire dining experience fun and entertaining. Our server was also amazing — attentive, friendly, and always made sure our drinks were topped up. Overall, it was a wonderful lunch with great food, great service, and great vibes. I love the printed picture service to take this memory back home. We'll definitely be back!

Reservation at 9pm didn't eat until 10:30pm. We waited nearly an hour and a half for a chef to come. Luckily, Chris was willing to cook for us and made our experience a little better even though he was on the way out. I suggest this location maybe staff better on a busy Saturday night.

We had a reservation at 7:45 and didn't not get seated until 9:30. We tried to be patient and wait so we sat at the bar after check in the host said it was busy so we'd be called in 20 minutes AFTER our reservation.. and we had to continuously check on the status of our reservation.. so much so that our bartender asked if we had a reservation and she would check on it for us. We finally were seated at 9:30 ish and didn't get a cook until passed 10. ( 2 ppl at our table ate soup n salad n left bc they took so long ) we ended up staying cause we had waited for so long at that point and nothing else was open. Food was good. Service was okay. HOST looked lost as hell. We had to check w them 3 times on our reservation mind you. Got there at 7:30 and left at 11.
