Benihana is a popular restaurant known for its fun and consistent dining experience, especially with the teppanyaki chefs who are masters of flavor and fun. The restaurant offers an upscale, coastal vibe with a clean environment and friendly, helpful staff. Guests can enjoy fresh seafood, sizzling steak, and bold flavors, making each visit memorable. The chefs, including notable ones like Luke, provide entertaining shows and helpful suggestions that enhance the meal. The manager is highly praised for creating a welcoming atmosphere. While the food, particularly the steak and shrimp dinner, is generally excellent, some guests noted that the miso soup was too salty on one visit, and the lighting over the Teppan tables could be improved to create a warmer ambiance. Despite occasional service issues, the overall experience remains enjoyable, and the restaurant tends to be less crowded and noisy than other locations, with quick seating and a pleasant atmosphere.
