    The number of guests in our remained fluid up to the time of the reservation, but Benihana was able to accommodate flawlessly. The service, food, and ambience was exactly what Benihana is famous for. We truly enjoyed our Birthday dinner!

    Extremely disappointed! This used to be a very nice place to eat. Our experience started by walking into the bar area where there were dirty tables at the entrance. We were seated fairly promptly but then told it would be “a while” for the chef to come to our table. Ok not a big deal. The chef was cooking the rice so I went to tell the front desk we had not received salads. The waitress then came to our table 10 minutes later with salads and CHEAP plastic wrapped “silverware” to eat with. No chopsticks were offered. I asked the chef for chopsticks, he had none. The busboy went and grabbed me chopsticks. Real forks were offered to us after the chef was finished cleaning and gone. Basically after we were nearly finished with eating. We were charged full price ($7.50) for add on fried rice. The only vegetables were onions and one slice of zucchini. The floor was sticky everywhere. High prices, dirty atmosphere, slow service and meh food. If you’re wondering, yes I contacted their corporate office to let them know. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! Would not recommend! Such a shame. I have been dining here since the 1980’s.

    Our chef was apparently new, so I am sorry to say our expectations were not met. Everyone has to start somewhere. However the food was not good and we didn’t receive the fun interactive “show” while he cooked that we expected. It was very expensive as well. We will not return. I’m disappointed because Benihana holds many happy memories for us besides this latest visit.
