Benihana Reviews
Fantastic atmosphere, big portions of delicious food and tasty hot sake👍👍
Have been going to Schaumburg Benihana for lunch once every 3-5 weeks for a few years. Usually good to adequate service and food that is 4 out of 5…
Today was NOT that. As usual, host seated us a table in the sushi bar area, just before noon. Then waited at the table for 10 min before we were even greeted (it was not crowded, we were the only ones in that area) server shows up and asks what we would like to order.
I wasn’t even given a menu yet, not one on the table....read full review

Benihana is a high‑price restaurant that attracts families and groups. Many guests praise the chef for being top tier, respectful, and attentive, especially during busy holidays like Mother’s Day. The chef often shows special tricks, such as a small fire for nervous children, and keeps the fire very small to make them comfortable. The servers are described as amazing, setting high expectations and delivering, often refilling drinks without being asked. The sushi bar is popular, but the restaurant can be crowded and overbooked, leading to long waits and rude hostesses. Some diners felt rushed out quickly after paying over $500, while others enjoyed a relaxed meal. Food is excellent, with a curated, higher‑priced menu on special occasions. The overall experience is memorable, though the rush and high cost may not suit everyone.
