TERRIBLE.
First of all, we order filet mignon and they tried to pass off sirloin as a filet.
Nothing was flavored at all, super bland.
When we didn’t touch our food, we told the server that we were very unsatisfied and ready to leave. Again, we didn’t touch our food.
On the way out, the manager tried to verbally attack us by demanding answers to ridiculous questions. Made us feel super uncomfortable and tried to tell us that we don’t know what hibachi is....read full review
We made 5:30 reservations and were not seated until almost 6. Once seated it was another 10-15 minutes before anyone came to our table. My husband didn’t get part of his order and the other 2 couples sitting with us had their orders messed up as well.

Benihana is a restaurant that offers a unique hibachi experience, featuring friendly and attentive wait staff and chefs. The food is often described as delicious, with good portion sizes and great seasoning. Many customers recommend trying the filet over the steak. While prices may be a bit high, some diners feel that the experience is worth it. However, the interior décor may feel dated, and there are occasional reports of slow service during busy times. Some guests noted that the food could be just average, lacking depth in flavors.
Recently, some customers have had mixed experiences. One family enjoyed a great chef who provided an entertaining show, making the experience fun for their grandkids. However, another guest faced a frustrating situation with the manager when their daughter received a raw entree, which led to a lack of acknowledgment for a birthday celebration. Despite the delicious food, they felt the overall experience was affected by service issues. Additionally, some diners found the atmosphere to be less engaging when seated with others and noted that the restaurant was empty during their visit. Despite some minor issues, the overall experience can still be enjoyable, especially with a great waiter and chef, like Cali, who is entertaining and fun.
