Benihana - BethesdaWe went on Mother's Day andWe went on Mother's Day and were lucky to join a family of 6 which left 1 seat open at a table and gave us more room. Menu is pricy but food. We spent close to a 100 for 2 without alcohol. Calamari was absolutely delicious and our chef was a good entertainer. Overall, it was a good experience, but probably a place for a special occasion rather than becoming a regular hot spot.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding food!Great place to dine loved it! The food was on point and the chef and waiter gave good customer service too! I will be back very soon5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGo-To RestaurantMy family and I loving visiting Benihana for any special occasions we may have. The staff knows us very well and we are always presented with excellent service. The service isn't the only great thing about this Japanese steakhouse - they have the best food around, in my opinion. I always opt for the "splash n' meadow" which is a combination of steak and colossal shrimp. They usually serve your dinner with salad and a soup. I love this place!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOur service was great andOur service was great and the chef was very entertaining. They were very attentive to our needs.

I make it a point to stop here whenever I'm in the Bethesda / DC area, particularly if I'm hosting visitors.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was my first visit toThis was my first visit to Benihana's. My fiance and I enjoyed the meal but found the experience and menu the same as every other hibachi style restaurant. We both had a expected alot more, specifically from the hibachi chef but his performance diwindled in comparison to other chefs at the same style restaurant. We were looking forward to the "Benihana's Experience". Maybe they're not what they used to be. Besides that...the food was delicious.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways good, always consistantAs usual, Benihana doesn't disappoint. From the attentiveness of the staff to the delicious meal itself, everything was wonderful. I was also seranaded for my birthday! Small point, when we arrived at 9:30pm, there was no one at the hostess stand. We waited about 2 minutes or so and then had to ask someone for help. About 5 minutes after that, someone finally came to seat us.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a really good time,We had a really good time, good drinks and great food for a good price!3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMVery enjoyable place to eat.Very enjoyable place to eat.
