I made a reservation for my son’s graduation celebration because I knew it would be close to impossible to get in as a walk in. We still had to wait over an hour to be seated. My kids had to sit outside because it was extremely crowded inside. The evening was saved due to a very nice cook. Earl turned our evening around and kept us engaged and entertained. I don’t understand how making a reservation meant nothing. I made the reservation days in advance and confirmed ahead of time as well. My son LOVES Benihana’s but we don’t go as often as he would like because it doesn’t seem efficiently ran. I guess it’s still good for business on your side but as a consumer, it’s can be looked at as too much to deal with. Just my opinion.

We had a 7:45 reservation, but was told they couldn’t take us until 9:00. The place was dirty, and there was dirty gloves on the floor

The food was GREAT; Earl is by far The BEST Chef and I refuse to have anyone else cook for me. Earl has been my chef for the last year, and he has never disappointed!

Me and family went to celebrate my niece graduation. We booked 2 separate reservations and they sat us close at 2 different tables. Due to the restaurant having an prior issue with some guest at another table with payment. The manager Rich came to us and decided he wanted to bill all of us together to add a 18% gratuity. Remind you they set 2 other reservations at our tables that we didn’t know. Demanding that we all pay together. He racially profiled us because we were black. After we voiced our concerns and stated that he can’t do that he said well y’all just take care of my server. Demanding us to do so. His gesture was very aggressive, unprofessional disrespectful. As a manager his temper was not acceptable. I will never go back to this restaurant and will be calling corporate.
