Sam is an awesome chef and showman! The food is consistent and always enjoyable.
Great food!! Sam is lucky to have his big brother Alex to teach him the hibachi ways!
Always a great time. We come to this place every time we come to Portland. Always pack and you should make reservations way before the day you are visiting. Worth the wait though

Benihana offers a lively dining experience with attentive and friendly staff. Tina, a server, is praised for her bubbly personality and great attention to guests, making everyone at the table smile. The bar staff, including Chad and Meghan, provide fantastic service, managing to deliver delicious food and drinks even during busy times. The chefs, especially Kai, are highly appreciated; Kai is described as a "total badass" and has been recognized for serving the best food in 30 years of visiting the restaurant. Many guests enjoy celebrating special occasions like birthdays here, noting a festive atmosphere with other celebrations happening simultaneously.
The food is generally enjoyed, with highlights including the vegetables and the overall tasty meals, although there are occasional issues like overcooked meat, dry rice, and smaller portions for higher prices. Some guests mention a noisy environment and preoccupied staff, which can affect the dining experience. Specific dishes such as the gf soup received mixed reviews, with some feeling it lacked flavor. Despite minor setbacks, guests appreciate the fun and engaging atmosphere, especially for family celebrations, and many look forward to returning to enjoy the delicious food and lively service.
