This is one of the best hibachi places I've had! I think it's better than Benihana, the steak and shrimp, veggies are very fresh. The sauces are also delicious. I am very pleased and can't wait to come back!

Had the triple combo Shrimp, Scallops and Lobster served off the Hibachi grill cooked in front of you. Excellent with the included fried rice and vegatable sides. The meal started with Salad with a fresh ginger based dressing and and delicious interesting soup starter. All of the tables appeared to be having fun.

Last night was my second time visiting this restaurant. While my first experience there was enjoyable, last night was by far one of the best Hibachi steakhouse meals/experiences of my life. My kids absolutely loved it.Thank you so much to Chef Henry. You sir are by far the best Hibachi Chef I have ever had the pleasure of cooking for me and my family. You are truly special and the love and enjoyment you show in what you do is so evident. I hope you know you are different than most. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Our server (I am sorry I did not ask his name) was very attentive and always present. There was not one time I had to look around to find him. Irrespective of where he stood in the restaurant, he always maintained eye contact. Whenever a plate was done, either he or a specific female server (sorry I did not get her name) was always there to ask if they can remove the plate. Great job by you both. Thank you!To anyone reading this review. Please trust that I have zero affiliation with this establishment. I have been in the Hospitality Industry for 30 years, specifically food service.I have been a a long time, loyal customer of the well-known Edo's in Pelham Manor for the same amount of time. To give you an in idea, I have been a customer of Edo's since back when Sonny was there running a top-notch place. Although at one time Edo's was my exclusive Hibachi spot, this no longer is the case. Banzai w/ be the new go to spot and deservingly so. Edo's cannot compare to this place.To the management and ownership of Banzai, you have a gem in Henry. My professional recommendation is that you use Henry to train/teach "EVERY" cook you have and hire on how to create the magic and interact with the client. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.Kid-friendliness: I have never had a Chef be so interactive with the kids.

No sarcasm, I was about to fall asleep, the food was so dry, I couldn’t even chew it. They charged us $250!! They then added a 20% tip without asking us. The chef never talked to us or did any tricks.

My husband and I took our children to dinner tonight after a long hard week of work and school. The food was decent, the hibachi chef was mediocre but the bar bill was horrific! Thank goodness my husband and only had one drink of “call shelf” liquor… 1800 with club soda (small glass with lots of ice) $20 each, $40 2 drinks!! After we approached the manager he proceeded to tell us that that particular bottle is $100, little did he know my husband works for Empire Merchants, their liquor distributor. Needles to say, we will never be back based on principle.

I'm disappointed because my family and I enjoyed eating here. It's been 6 months since my visit, but I can't get myself to go back over how my situation was handled. My sister, brother in law, and I stopped by here to get something to eat. We normally love going here. It was near closing and not many people in the restaurant at all. About midway through my meal a mouse came out and started running all around the table next to me. The waitstaff saw and seemed embarrassed and tried to shoo it away. Nonetheless, they could not get to it and this mouse kept coming out. This was disgusting. I'm petrified of mice. At one point one of the crew took a butcher's knife and tried to kill it. I couldn't help but wonder if this is one of the knives they use to prepare food. They were apologetic and offered us a 10% discount on our next visit. Only 10%? and on the next visit? I don't know why but I didn't think to question this at the time. Why weren't we offered a decent discount at that time? 10% off next visit is not justifiable. They lost my business.

Can't wait to come back! Thank you to Chef Henry for making my family laugh! Food was amazing and cooked to perfection!! Fun times!
Service is terrible. Rude employees. The food was terrible. The atmosphere was horrible. Never again. Chef caused my son to slam his head on the table thanks to spraying him in the face with water without letting him know first

The table chef was brilliant! Before coming here, I thought the chef was just going to cook silently but quite the opposite, he was the main attraction of the evening. Super great for kids & teenagers and the adults enjoyed the show too. It was super entertaining, all the kids got several turns trying hibachi themselves and the chef was incredibly hilarious. Great experience.

OK we will start with the steak it tasted like car rubber.Then the shrimp was overcooked the chicken I could have played hockey with it. Does salmon was disgusting the table was sticky?I asked the waitress to wipe it down. She denied a stat so when I got the water I took the napkin and wiped the table down the worst experience. I've had in a Japanese restaurant in a long long time.I'm sorry but you're staff does not care about your business.You need to re-examine them overall you get an f the California roll OK?
