It was everything a hibachi should be. It definitely lived up to the famous Benihana's reputation.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMBenihana still sets the standardBenihana still sets the standard for the Japanese steakhouse. The chefs are excellent and the food is fresh and delicious. A definite recommend.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMI normally love going to benihanasI normally love going to benihanas . I was dissapointed this time with the service we recieved from our waitress At first she was doing good. After the chef cooked our food we didn't see her again . I tried many times to get one if the other waitress to help us but was unable to get help. Finally i just went to the hostesses syand and told them thay our waitress had not come back since the chef cooked and that our kids would like deseart and we want our check. The hostess came to our table then got us helped and at the pount of paying our bill our orignal waitress showed back up.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWe would have liked to haveWe would have liked to have had a little more elbow room - there were 10 of us crammed into an 8 person table. Maybe they don't have any other option though for a group this size. We were celebrating a teenagers birthday. The food is always good, unfortunately our "chef" wasn't all that entertaining.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMChef Doan the best!Our chef, Doan, was very entertaining and made our experience very special. I would come back again and would like him has our chef.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWhen we first got there isWhen we first got there is took way to long for us to get our drinks. After we sat down at our table though the service got better4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWas there with a work group.Was there with a work group. Was a fun way to relax after a long day. Food was awesome.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMRestaurant is cheap and stingyEverything was as expected but the restaurant was a little stingy: the menue indicated that the meal package included soup/salad, tempura, rice, and ice cream; however no tempura. When asked was told it was coming but none came. Asked for hot sauce and they brought small plate and charged 0.75 cents. That is cheap. Wonder why they did not charge for soy sauce??? Parking at lunch time was not validated, only from dinner time. Parking is parking, why the difference?3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ServiceMy first experience was great, the staff was great, the chef was entertaining. I would tell my family and friends about my experience and will advise them to go. Benihana fan!!3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWe are ALWAYS happy to goWe are ALWAYS happy to go to my favorite restaurant!
