Benihana provides an enjoyable dining experience with good food and attentive service. The chefs, such as Edwin, bring humor and skill to their meal preparation, making celebrations more fun. The wait staff are polite, friendly, and go above and beyond to create a memorable visit. Guests can enjoy dishes like filet mignon and gyoza, along with unique drinks. Customers have praised the professional and friendly staff, especially highlighting the hibachi grill chef Chanrika, who was attentive, explained menu options, and maintained a beautiful smile throughout. Diners also appreciate staff members who anticipate needs and provide hilarious, moist food. The service overall remains excellent, with waiters like Jerry and Tori who are attentive, pay great attention to detail, and ensure a fantastic experience for customers. However, some recent visitors felt rushed during their meals, with tables turned quickly to accommodate other guests, resulting in shorter visits of about an hour. Despite this, many still enjoyed their meals and the lively atmosphere, including flavorful dishes like spicy hibachi chicken and well-seasoned fried rice with extra garlic butter. The location offers a vibrant environment with tables everywhere, an entrance at the front, and a bar area in the back. Some guests noted minor issues, such as finding paper in soup or loud fans affecting conversation, but overall, Benihana remains a popular choice for celebrations and casual dining alike.
