   My family and I had a great experience, the cook had an amazing energy and was very entertaining. Only thing I didn’t like was the wait. We waited about 15-20 minutes at our table before the waitress came to take our order. Other than that I had a great time.

   Host staff and waitress all made is seem as if we were imposing on them to even be there. Not a smile on a single one of them and asking for refills was an even further intrusion. Our chef however was the best we have ever had. Our whole table was laughing and engaged with him the whole time. We only wish the rest of the staff were as focused on customer service and creating a positive experience like our chef was.

   My birthday was ruined by because of the horrible service at this restaurant. I waited 1 hour 15 minutes just to get my salad. After that I waited another 30 minutes just for the Chef to come to to present his self. My dishes were dirty, my salad was welted. The restaurant was extremely dirty and greasy.

   Usually our chef is out when we are having our soup and salad but not that day. We had to wait for a long time for him to come out and this was after having our soup and salad. My wife had to go ask the manager why it was taking so long. We were seated before a table across from us and there chef was already there and starting to cook there order.

    Very disappointed. Our waitress greeted us, and said she'd be back in a second. 25 minutes later she reemerged to take the drink orders. Waited another 20 minutes for our water. She took out order finally. I ordered the Benhana Trio as I always do. My steak was grissly and tasted gamey. My chicken had very chewy, tough parts and tasted like wet dog. The shrimp was good as usual. When dinner was over, I ordered green tea ice cream, and for the second time in a row (1 month apart), when the waitress returned to our table, I was told there was no more green tea ice cream. I now live in Hemet, and this restaurant is not close to home and I drive a considerable distance to eat at my favorite restaurant only to be very disappointed.

    The food and service was great. The only problem was that I was charged 3 times for my dinner. They had technical difficulties with their system. Asked for a return on my money and said they would return it by the end of the day. A day later and still haven’t received it. Called to speak to a manager and he has yet to call to fix this problem. I didn’t even get the chance to speak to him/her directly.

    Was disappointed having to wait 35 minutes to be seated even with a reservation. However, since we were given our chef of request by the server, it made up for the mistake of the host’s accidentally skipping over us and seating others. Chef Christian is by far the best chef we’ve had there thus far! He was friendly, entertaining, and made our dinner experience excellent!

    Not enough cooks- had to wait a longer period of time. Waitress was so so - customer service was marginal. Table was dirty and grill was in poor condition, needing repair. And too many people at table.

    I've been to Benihana a few times over the years and I'm sorry to say I won't be going back. Besides the food, the experience is a big draw. However, in both cases, they aren't what they used to be. Some of the food was rather bland (while some of it was very good) and the "show" quality of the chef was lacking. That by itself isn't a deal breaker but for the amount they charge, its a no-go. Over priced, minimal presentation and interaction, and bland food. I'm sorry to say, it was the last time they get my business.

    My son’s graduation started off with our reservation being an hour and a half late to be seated. the food was mediocre because the chef seemed to be rushed, the servers were good, the restaurant was dirty, and the bathroom had no toilet paper. I will never return to this Benihana‘s The chef cross contaminated shrimp and scallops so they had to redo my guest’s order. My guess was allergic to shellfish.

    Was first seated by windows. Very hot. Shade was broken and did not come down. Waiter was gone for very long periods of time without checking on table. Had empty drinks all around at the table and other couple had to ask for rice rice and Appetizer. Had to ask multiple times for same things. Was told out of mushrooms, camera not working for bday picture and was told there were only small to go boxes. When pointed out the other table has large ones he went to the other table and gave to us.

    I got the WORST vodka Collins in the bar. The bartender obviously had no idea what it was. Should have asked for another drink, instead just left it after one sip. The food was wonderful, and well prepared. Our chef, Christian was very outgoing and entertaining. My only suggestion for him is to cut the filet a bit smaller. Just a single bite. With no knife, it was tricky to eat.
