Our reservation was for 5:30pm. We were seated at 7pm. And we weren't the only people waiting. ridiculous! Don't want to return.
Don’t make a reservation.
They routinely overbook, just ask the front desk staff.
We had reservation at 630 Saturday, arrived at 6:05. Was told 1.5 hours behind because of overbooking and customers won’t leave.
Talked to a small party of 4 waiting for their 5pm reservation that were still waiting at 630…
This is in their control.
Sam is an awesome chef and showman! The food is consistent and always enjoyable.

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.
