Benihana offers a lively dining experience with friendly staff and entertaining chefs. The restaurant is known for its well-trained chefs who provide enjoyable entertainment while preparing meals such as their signature fried rice, protein, and fresh vegetables. Guests often appreciate the great service from staff members like Brian and the helpfulness of servers, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food receives mixed reviews; dishes like lobster, steaks, and scallops are highly praised for their quality. Some guests enjoy specific items like the yakisoba and sushi lobster roll, although others note that the flavor can be lacking compared to traditional cuisine. The experience is enhanced by fun moments, such as requesting hats for celebrations, although birthdays may not always be acknowledged. The location is convenient, and the atmosphere is generally lively but not overly loud. While some elements like seating can be tight and appetizers may be delayed, overall, Benihana is enjoyed for its enjoyable show, good food, and friendly environment, making it a popular choice for celebrations and casual outings.
