Never disappoints! Food is amazing! Always come here for special occasions and holidays. Every server and front desk are so nice and caring. They get the orders right even when it's so loud in there. Please is so clean and put together. Roberto is a great chef and Sheila was a nice server and did great job getting our food orders.
Would definitely recommend coming! All locations are amazing but we like the Newport location.
Lovely lovely lovely , food was great !

Benihana is a popular restaurant known for its fun and consistent dining experience, especially with its talented teppanyaki chefs who entertain guests while preparing delicious meals. This location, conveniently situated near the airport, 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 the amazing Adagio and Chef Michael from Anaheim, provide entertaining shows and singing, keeping guests well fed and engaged. The manager is praised for creating a welcoming atmosphere. While the food, particularly the steak and shrimp dinner, is generally excellent, some guests have noted long wait times for seating, even with a reservation. There can be inconsistencies in service, but overall, the experience remains enjoyable. The restaurant tends to be less crowded and noisy than other locations, with quick seating and a pleasant atmosphere. Guests also appreciate the entertainment and lively environment that makes Benihana a great place to celebrate special occasions, like birthdays, or enjoy a memorable dinner, as evidenced by the wonderful experiences shared by many diners. However, some recent visits have highlighted issues with reservations and wait times, but the engaging chefs have helped maintain a great experience.
