    Came to have some lunch with family today at Benihana. The general manager came to greet us at our table and explained the new loyalty program. (You should definitely sign up, it has great rewards!) our server was attentive as well as our chef. Everything was really good. Definitely way better than our last experience here. The only thing I will say is that it takes a little too long in between getting your soup/salad and then having the chef come to make your food. If you’re looking for faster service, it’s best to go to the bar seating. Definitely will be back!

    It’s been a few years since I’ve been back, the food was on point, the service was a bit slow, other than that it was a good experience, except for a female in our party who couldn’t handle her alcohol!

    We were there for my and my brother in law birthday. Server was so rude and like he got bored to listen what we need, we asked for well cooked everything but it wasn't wich my doughter didn't ear her shrimp at all. After that they charged us around $80 for service charge and we asked we paid separately for two family but manager just said this is what it is. We came back home and I forgot to used my $30 coupon which I resived for my birthday, I called first one lady and after that one guy that was so rude told me we can not adjust that. We didn't have good experience after spending more than $600 and even they didn't want to adjust $30 coupon. This was last time we were there and I'm not recommending to any one

    The chef wasn’t very interactive. He didn’t use enough soy sauce in the rice.

    Reservations mean nothing it seems— we had to wait thirty minutes to be seated. The drinks were watery. Food was decent.

    I’ve gone to Benihanas multiple times and unfortunately the server this time was behind on everything. Our bowls were piling up the salad part of the meal didn’t come until midway through the service. Food is always great! But wait times and service declines with every visit

    They were understaffed that night, so we were delayed at the table. However, the staff was great and informed us of the delay and even gave us a complementary plate of edamame for the wait. Service was great, the chef was good, and the food tasted great.
