Great Food & drinks especially sushi
Fantastically awesome! The cook Gerren was good and entertaining and the foods are freshly cooked in front of you, and soo yummy😋
I do and don't recommend. The past two times I have went we got a chef with 0 personality. This time the chef had a mask on, which is his choice, no judgement but we could hardly understand him. On top of that he did no theatrics. Just verified the meal, cooked and left. My youngest didn't even get to enjoy it. I think I'm done with this place for a bit. Spending over a $$$ on a non show dinner is not worth it at all

Benihana offers a teppanyaki dining experience where waiters and chefs are generally friendly and professional, though service can be inconsistent. The chicken fried rice is a popular menu item, and the food is often described as good, flavorful, and seasoned well. Some chefs are awesome, funny, kind, and magical with their tricks, making the show exciting, while others may be less active or energetic. The space can get really noisy. Service issues include slow drink service from the bar, disorganized or inattentive waiters, forgotten soup and salad, and wrong checks. The menu is wonderfully organized online by dietary needs. Specific meal items mentioned include a salad, avocado roll, lychee martini, and sparkling sake. Some diners experienced indigestion after eating meat. The restaurant has been hiring for managers, and recent experiences have been more positive, with on-time seating and proper dinner speed. A half birthday gift certificate was used for a free lunch with a short wait. However, some visits are less than mediocre, with broken stall lights and unclean bathrooms, making it feel expensive for a so-so time.
