Benihana Reviews
The food was not good. The chicken was dry. The “Jumbo shrimp” tasted like rubber, the calamari was over cooked… the staff rushed you to order and was definitely not worth the the amount we paid. I would gladly pay any amount on menu. But at least make sure the food is cooked correctly and tastes like the grill is clean. Never again. Thank you.
exelent service and the food it's grate.
