What an incredible dinner at Benihana Orlando (Hilton Hotel at Disney Springs)! The hibachi chicken and shrimp combo was amazing, and we loved swapping soup for double salads — fresh and flavorful! The chef’s show was full of personality and made the evening feel special. Perfect spot for couples, families, or anyone who wants a fun, interactive dining experience near Disney Springs
Absolutely terrible food and horrible service! Don't bother complaining to the manager!
Very good meal A great experience

Benihana in Orlando's Lake Buena Vista offers a lively teppanyaki dining experience with mixed operational results. The restaurant is noted as huge, with food that receives praise for being excellent, good, and seasoned perfectly, featuring generous portions. Specific meals mentioned include scallops, colossal shrimp, a shrimp appetizer, and Tuna Tataki.
The chef performances are frequently highlighted as a major strength. Multiple chefs, including Jay, Justin, and Chef Mia, are described as excellent, very funny, entertaining, talented, and outstanding, providing a good show with engaging and skillful presentation. One chef even created unique items like "bugs bunny." Staff such as OBI 1 and others are commended for being amazing, interactive, friendly, nice, and hilarious, especially in keeping guests, including children and picky eaters, laughing and distracted during longer waits.
However, the experience can be chaotic and loud, with some guests feeling the restaurant seems understaffed. This can lead to a disorganized flow, with timing issues between courses and servers stretched too thin, occasionally requiring guests to bus their own table or refill drinks. Management receives both praise for being attentive and criticism for being overwhelmed. Despite these operational challenges, many guests express a desire to return, citing exceptional hospitality and a memorable, positive dining experience overall.
