I had an excellent experience with Mohammed! From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing great service. He took the time to understand what I needed, communicated clearly throughout, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

We had such a great experience! The food was delicious, and it was fascinating to watch Chef Si Thu cook right in front of us. Everything was fresh and perfectly done.
What really made the evening memorable was the service. Maks took amazing care of us, he was attentive, quick, and genuinely thoughtful. We never had to ask for anything because he noticed every detail and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. Our glasses were always full, and everything ran so smoothly.
The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, lively yet comfortable, and you can tell the team truly cares about what they do. Everything from start to finish was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.

I’ve been going to Benihana restaurant(s) for over 40 years. I most often frequent the Cupertino and the Burlingame locations.
This is the first time we visit the San Mateo location. I will preface this review by saying that the servers & restaurant staff were accommodating & lovely. However, I honestly contemplated removing an additional star because of the terrible experience we had with the poor ventilation. We sat in the room at the back of the restaurant (almost like a private room which we were excited about). Little did we know & Unlike every other Benihana I’ve ever visited, in this particular room they had no fans overhead. The smoke from the food was literally choking us. Everybody in our party was coughing and could barely breathe at certain points during the cooking. Honestly, I am shocked that this restaurant is allowed to operate in that room with so little ventilation!! It is a health hazard. Also, I’d like to mention that the floors are slippery, so please be careful!
