Very good place for a celebration! The service was top notch. Sushi was delicious and so was the hibachi. All 8 or 9 of us super satisfied and great portions. Enough for left overs the next day. Better than bennihannas and more affordable. Family owned. Support local businesses like this one.

I went tonight with a party of over 20 for my daughters birthday.. not only was the food good but the guy who made it infront of us made the experience sooo cool for my kids.. Now that being said Wa (who is one of the servers) is the best part of this place! She is a GOOD vibe and made the experience THE BEST!! I will definitely be coming back just to see her. Thank you guys for a great night❤️

We had a wonderful dining experience with delicious food at Banzai. We had a variety of appetizers, sushi, and their hibachi/teppanyaki griddle. They have a full bar, and their mixed drinks are tasty and potent! Everything was stellar, and their prices were more than reasonable, especially compared to the other chain restaurants in town. Wa was exceptional! She and the whole Banzai crew are truly welcoming, whether your group is large or small. I would enthusiastically recommend them for a memorable gathering or just for a nice evening out.

My family and I went to Banzai for the first time on Tuesday for my birthday and we really enjoyed it! This is a family owned and operated place and they seem to really care about their customers. Our grill chef and waitress(brother and sister) took the time to talk to us and make us feel welcome. I was even given ice cream(which was really good) as a little birthday gift and I thought that was so sweet. We will definitely be back next time we go out for hibachi!

This place is a Hidden Treasure of Temecula the food is excellent and well worth the price
We came here a couple years back had a fantastic time everyone was so nice and welcoming service was awesome, unfortunately this time was a little different. It felt like a very stressed atmosphere the older woman was arguing with our waitress in front of us. It took awhile for the chef to come out. Which maybe they’re short staffed. I don’t know the 'cause. But when I was paying my bill I went to the front to pay while the rest of my table was still sitting I paid with my bank card but I didn’t leave a tip from my bank card on the receipt because I was planning on leaving cash for that on the table when I left but when I handed the signed receipt back to the older lady she looked at it and said no tip! 1. That is very rude and tacky! 2. People are not obligated to leave tips 3. The tip was not for her I wanted to leave it with the chef and our waitress who did a very good job!

I come here for the food 🤤 This may be the only place that serves noodles with their plates and I appreciate that variety. I usually have left overs, and I got to enjoy them for a couple more meals. It also seems like a family restaurant, which is very different than some of their competitors. There are ways to improve, and if the restaurant is interesting in feedback I invite them to contact me 😊
We go every year for special occasions! We are faithful:-) They have the best food and customer service! Hands down

I came here last night to celebrate a birthday. It's been years since I've come back to Banzai. My parents use to take me here back in the 90s and it's still owned by the same family. The nostalgia was real and the vibe inside with Japanese murals and neon lighting I was diggin it. The food was excellent and much better than the larger hibachi chain restaurants I've been to. Thank you to Mama, her daughter and son for taking good care of us last night. We will be back soon. Next time Skip the line at the other big hibachi restraunts in town and come to Banzai.

Update: 2yrs later and still amazing! #1 Sushi/Japanese food in Temecula. Their sushi salad is easily the most delicious item on their menu though every sushi roll (have tried many) are always amazing. The staff are extremely friendly, always attentive and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Love the ambience at the location which makes for a more romantic dinner spot. Pricing is spectacular in regards to portions, you always get more than what you pay for. Highly recommend to everyone and anyone. Don't miss out, you'll regret it.
