    DON'T! This is truly the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Not only was the service absolutely awful, but the food was bland and tasteless. The service was extremely slow, and our waiter clearly was not ready to be serving tables. Guests at the tables next to us asked to take their food to-go due to the awful, slow service, and there were also other guests who got up and just left. Once we finally got our food, it was cold and clearly had been sitting out for a while. My steak was cold, and I had to send it back. Took another 30 minutes to finally get a new one. My partner's food, the hibachi shrimp, was extremely bland and dry. We had to beg for salt & soy sauce for some semblance of flavor. The shrimp was mushy, not de-veined, and it appeared unappetizing. I completely lost my appetite. While we were in the middle of our meal, we could clearly tell there was a conflict occurring between the staff. They were not handling it in private, and it was just a terrible ambiance & experience. It is obvious that this restaurant is poorly managed, since half the staff looked and acted like they didn't want to be here. Let's not blame COVID anymore for staffing issues. Our “waiter” came up to us mid meal to tell us he got fired and was leaving. So we were left without a waiter for a while, and the staff scrambled to figure out their cluster of a restaurant. Then someone came up to us and said “I’m not a server, but can I get you anything? I think your waiter got sent home because he wasn’t getting along with the manager.” Just horrible manners and customer service. Who says that to their customers?! We were itching to leave and couldn’t get out of there sooner. Side note, the music was extremely loud and basically depressing rock music. It's not a good choice of music for this type of establishment. I was not able to relax. Do not come here if you are expecting any semblance of customer service or an edible meal.

    Chef and waitress were wonderful and we had a good time. The bar staff were rude. I do not recommend getting a drink at the bar if you arrive early.

    We experienced a wonderful evening enhanced by our chef Jason who was very clever with his knives skills and the usual performance feature of teppanyaki dining. But above all that, was his seasoning and cooking of every item on order. Everything was delicious. The chateaubriand, the filet with scallops. the veggies and mushrooms etc. I am looking forward to the new Benihana to open in San Jose, Almaden area sometime in the near future

    Thank you for your feedback, Sheila. We're delighted to hear that Chef Jason made your evening special with his skills and delicious cooking. We look forward to welcoming you back and hope you enjoy the new San Jose location when it opens!

    The chef was not fun kinda boring we enjoyed the table next to us. Unfortunately the food was not good. Fried rice lacked flavor, a majority of us ordered the Rockies special. The steak was hard and had no flavor. The chicken was bad.  I haven’t been to Benihana’s in a while and I definitely won’t be coming back.
