Food & service was great but the restaurant is filthy. The carpets are sticky & worn. The restrooms are gross.

We recently visited this Japanese steakhouse in Key West, and while there were some highlights, overall it fell short of expectations. The food itself was good, and our server was excellent—friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout the meal. However, the wait time was frustrating. Even though we had a reservation, we waited over an hour before the chef finally came out to start cooking. That long of a delay really takes away from the experience, especially when dining with hungry teens. There were also some unexpected extra charges. Unlike most hibachi restaurants, this one does not include fried rice as a standard part of the meal—it costs an additional $6.50 per person. On top of that, they wouldn't allow any substitutions, so when our teens wanted extra rice instead of vegetables, it simply wasn't an option. At other hibachi places we've visited, those kinds of swaps are usually no problem. Because of the long wait and the extra costs for things that are typically included elsewhere, this will be a restaurant we skip on future trips to Key West.

The food was ok. Though everything tastes alike. The service was good. The chef is good at showmanship and humor. The problem is you are eating food that is consistent with any other oriental restaurant in town. Maybe one star food at three star pricing. So I guess what you're really paying for is the experience. Which, btw, has not varied in over 20 years. It will be a long time before I consider dining here again.

Edgar our Chef was wonderful in his preparation of everyones dinner. My only complaint was everything seemed a bit on the salty side

Pete was an amazing chef for my party! He put on a show and kept good banter with the group. And as always the food is delicious.

I had an awesome experience with my family. Food was great. Eric did a great job and the service was awesome. I recommend it to everyone.
Our food was so salty you couldn't eat it. Order a Manhattan and got a sweet cherry drink.
Jims
Excellent food. Great show. We had Mojito and Mule cocktails that were substantial and tasty. The Hibachi chicken was cooked perfectly and was moist and flavorful.

We haven't been to a Benihana in years. Finding this one was awesome. Best hibachi meal ever!! Michael, our chef was incredible and made a signature sauce for us. Each course prepared was incredible.

“Nacho” did an excellent job as our hibachi chef. I've visited many Japanese steakhouses like this one, and his attention to food quality and flavor was something we haven't seen in a long time. Great food!
