This location has really went downhill from my first visit about two years ago. Im sure first time visitors wouldn’t know the difference; I recently celebrated my birthday at this location. To start , the atmosphere was not the best. People were at the restaurant with PJs and hair bonnets, I felt over dressed however, I assumed a particular dress code was enforced , clearly not. Next, I ordered the land and sea entree because I wanted scallops and steak, the appetizer for that platter was shrimp, I have an allergy to certain shellfish and shrimp was that appetizer. I requested to substitute the shrimp for additional scallops or another meat, I was told to “give my shrimp to someone else and I can only receive additional vegetables under the circumstances “ “replacing the meat would be an additional charge regardless of my allergy “, it was odd to me because I was still paying full price for a meat that I couldn’t eat and was forced to pass down to my neighbor; no meat substitute? That was bazar to me. I didn’t get my appetizer where I paid full price.
Finally the “extra vegetables” was to include both zucchini and onions, I was only given extra zucchini. The onions was given to another guest at our table.
The hibachi chef was laggy, he barely acknowledged my celebration and used the same utensils when cooking the shrimp 🦐 instead of swamping them out once he got to my food. Any chef that’s advised of a food allergy is to swamp utensils . In the past the hibachi chefs are usually energetic, not this guy. It was just bad all around , the waitress was a bit snappy and was inconsistent, I figured she was just overwhelmed but still , it was bad guys, however , I was celebrating my birthday so I was trying to make the most of it, but this location gives Benihana’s a bad name , pure unprofessionalism.
The only good thing about this place is that they make the best espresso martinis in town.

The building is pretty dated and it makes you wonder how clean it could be… the food and chefs are fantastic regardless. The lady who takes group photos and prints the picture for you is pretty awful at taking photos.

My grandsons #7 birthday. 2 children 8 adults. A wonderful experience had by all! Caden was a huge reason for that! His skills, enthusiasm, and passion to engage with all of us especially my 2 grandsons, was definitely a huge plus! All of us enjoyed ourselves and our lunch! Bravo to this old gem , that has withstood the test of time!! Thank you Benihana Tamarac !!😋

I've been to Benihanas more times than I can count. My experience is usually amazing. The last few times I went was disappointing. The wait time for our reservation was way to long. I make reservations so I don't have to wait 30 minutes to an hour to be seated. My last sever was really good except I've noticed that on the entree with 6 sides that comes with tea and ice cream, I never recieve them. I have yet to taste their tea. I hardly ever get the ice cream either. Not sure why its never brought out. The server checked on us throughout our meal. My last visit the chef was not engaging with the guest at the table. I think he was high. There was no show or performance. He simply cooked the food which was amazing. I enjoy the tricks and interactions from the chefs. The last few times have been quite boring. I think its time for me to find a new restaurant.
