Awful people who would rather prioritize money over child and fire safety.
If you keep serving food like this you should be out of business! Seafood was terrible and the fried rice was not good. Send the chef back to Japan to learn to cook! Our waitress did a great job! Please no excuses because you have none.
One of, if not the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. My girlfriend and I and others waited 20 minutes after being seated for her to come out and take our drink orders.

Benihana offers a mixed dining experience. While some guests found the food delicious, with the steak in the Hibachi Supreme specifically highlighted as really good, and praised the chefs' performances and outstanding service, others reported issues. Some reviews mention a lack of table service, incorrect items on checks, and mid-level food. The ambiance can be dull for some, and concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness, including a dirty overall environment and sticky floors, have been raised. Service can be slow, with long waits for waitresses. Despite these drawbacks, some visitors had successful and enjoyable encounters, appreciating the chefs and the meal. However, issues like restrooms being out of order and a general need for TLC were noted.
