   We always sit at the bar when dining at Benihana CLE. All the staff was friendly and the food was served fast and was done to our liking.

   I must admit this have to be my worst experience at Benihana thus far. I decided to take my nephew to Benihana for a celebration. The reservation was for three at 7:30pm and we arrived accordingly. We were seated at approximately 7:45pm but had to wait another TWO HOURS before the chef came to our table. The manager never approached our table and when asked the server she provided false time frames. The chef was inexperience as he made multiple statements that the restaurant has not taught him certain skills. While he was cooking he used his sleeve to wipe his nose as well as had conversations with another guest at a different table. The table had sat seven people but the order he made the food was not effective as the food was cold once we received our entire entrée. There was a table who was seated after us who had their entire meal completed while ours was still cooking. Ultimately, our food was finished cooking at approximately 10:35pm and my food was missing some of the ingredients as I ordered the spicy hibachi chicken and was missing the green onions. Overall, the experience was not great. It is unfortunate that my nephew was not able to enjoy his celebration. He was tired and hungry by the time the chef finally to our table. If the restaurant was under staffed, I would have appreciate the host and other manager expressing such information to us. For the price of Benihana this experience was unacceptable.

   We had a reservation for 6:45. We did not get seated until 7:20. We got sat at the 10 minutes before the table next to us. There server and order was put in before ours. It seemed like our server forgot about our salads. Those took about 20 minutes to get after we were all done with our soups. Since the other table had ordered before us, that meant we had to wait even longer for the cook. The cook didn’t even show up until 8:45. At this point we had already been there for over 2 hours with 2 very hungry kids. The cook was pleasant. He told a lot of riddles. While he told the riddles he didn’t cook at all or very fast. Even though he was nice and funny, we were already starving and wanting to eat asap. He did not finish cooking until after 10. Our last experience at this restaurant was similar. We will not be back.

   Waited 45 minutes for a table with reservations. Didn’t eat until 2.5 hours after reservation time. It was a horrible experience. It’s a shame because they are trying to serve too many people each night and the poor servers are struggling to provide a good experience. Terrible management.

   We made reservations at 7:15 and when we got there we're informed they are running 45 minutes behind. Then when we did finally get seated the chef had no idea what he was doing. Forgot several key ingredients for our meals the rice was crunchy, the food was burnt, and the service was slow. We didn't end up leaving until 10:15 after the worst experience ever. We will not be returning. We used to be excited to come with our family but last night put a bad taste in our mouth.

    Elevators we not working. My husband just had foot surgery and had to take the stairs. Not ADA compliant. He couldn't get to restroom either. No sushi or appetizers we wanted. Waiter was very slow or uninterested in doing his job. Soups,salads and drinks seemed very hard for him to keep up with. Habichi chef ok. Newer and slow. For driving 45 minutes and 2.5 hour dinner not impressed. Won't be back.

    We arrived with reservations to an empty restaurant. However, we still waited 15 minutes to be seated and another 10 before our server came to the table. Our server seemed preoccupied, miscounted soup and salad, delayed in bringing back the missing soup or salad, and was not attentive to drink refills. Our chef was nice but still relatively new, our meal lasted over 2 hours. The quality in taste of food significantly declined since our last visit. Although we came with $30 off coupons, we still won't be returning anytime soon. The restaurant has baseboards being held up by duct tape which infers that management doesn't see to care about keeping up appearances of a well known chain.

    Awful! The cook didn’t come to the table until an hour and a Half after we were seated. He dropped one of He’s cooking utensils on the floor and just wiped it with a dry cloth. He also dropped a towel on the floor and was going to use that same towel to wipe down the grill until I said something to him about it. He was also coughing into his elbow right over the food. It was absolutely awful in the server came that once every 20 to 30 minutes. We spent a lot for the worst meal and worst quality and worst experience

    The service was extremely slow. Even with a reservation, we had to wait 10 min. to be seated on a weeknight (which was not busy). We sat for 20min at the table for a drink order and then another 15 min. for the soup to arrive. No one seemed to care and they were not apologetic. The chef was really working hard to make it a better experience, but he was not very skilled. Very expensive for the experience. The restaurant is dirty and needs refurbishing.

    After finally being seated (after our reservation time), we had been seated an hour and only gotten our soup. We were there 3 hours plus for this meal and they forgot one person’s fried rice and one person’s steak. They eventually made it right but it was clear people were overworked, unhappy and making mistakes. We got our food out of order because of the mistakes. For example, our steak was cold by the time we got the mushrooms plated. The food tasted great once we got it.

    The wait time is ridiculous even with reservations, the service is incredibly slow and the food is average. The point of this restaurant is the experience, and our chef was less than entertaining or engaging. His chef skills were subpar and given the amount of money we spent for the evening, we were incredibly disappointed. The restaurant was dirty with food and drink crusted on menus to dirty utensils and plates. Extremely disappointed.

    This is not what Benihana used to be and is known for. For the inflated price, there was no “show”. The “chef” kept dropping the knives on the ground. The service was horrible and the seating arrangements made no sense. There was a birthday girl at our table, but the staff paid no respect or extra attention to her. We unfortunately will never come back.

    We called ahead for our daughters birthday to make sure the restaurant does something special for birthdays. They assured me they would. We went there because we wanted a special experience for her birthday. They waitress asked if we were celebrating anything and I reminded her it’s her birthday. The chef kept dropping the spatulas on the ground and then he just stopped engaging and doing anything. The service was horrible and the waitress didn’t ask for drink refills At the end, they didn’t do anything for my daughters birthday after calling ahead and reminding them there. We were seated with another family with a toddler and infant-and there was a delay in even getting our chef. Anyone with small children can understand the difficulty of keeping them from melting down and long delays to get service is unacceptable So incredibly disappointed and upsetting; will never come here again

    It’s not the old days of fancy night out at Benihana—but we had a good time. Just don’t look at the floor, dirty dishes, stinky bathroom or the sticky tables. We got sat pretty quickly and our server was a bit slow but responsive. Seems to be the typical post Covid story of not having the staff to bus and clean behind servers. Our hibachi chef Ron was amazing. Great tricks and engaged the folks at the table. We all enjoyed our time watching the show.

    Sadly a very understaffed place where they took reservations when they could not accommodate - we had 7:15p reservations and didn’t get a chef at our table until 9:30p. The chef was so kind and clearly overworked, got a lot of our orders wrong because he didn’t even have time between tables to get a drink of water. He and all of the staff looked drained by their jobs and deserve a place that respects them vs treating them like an insignificant laborer. Benihana as a corporation needs to clean their act up. The whole experience left a very bad taste in my mouth, figuratively speaking.

    Our experience was terrible. We had 6:30pm reservations and no one even came to acknowledge our existence until 15-20 mins later and then said they were short staffed and it was going to be a 30 min wait. We decided to go to the bar where we spent another 20-30 mins before being seated at our table. We were finally able to get drinks, then another 10-15 mins for our soup, it was at least another 20-30 mins for the salad. Our chef STILL wasn’t anywhere to be seen. The entire restaurant was dirty and felt cheap which was totally opposite of any experience I’ve had at a Benihana before. The bathroom was dirty and sticky - passing the to the back of the restaurant I saw meat sitting out being prepped at another hibachi table that was only hidden by a screen and everything seemed dirty. We tried to eventually just go pay for our salad and soup and leave after 90 mins because no even eta on our chef. The manager said, I’ll get your server. We never saw either again and left. It was honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had in dining. The health department probably should shut this place down but at the very least quit taking reservations when you don’t have the staff to cover it and leave guests sitting unattended for hours. The line was very long when we left and adding. I think someone from the executive office needs notified of this. It’s truly an embarrassment to the brand.

    Very outdated and dirty. The bathrooms looked like homeless people use it to wash up.

    We had a 715 reservation, we didn’t get seated until 815, and they didn’t start cooking our main course until after 10. Then we had to eat real quickly so we could get out of there by 11. They obviously have serious staffing issues, worse than last year. We won’t be going there again until they get their act together.

    Having a reservation, we still has to wait 45 minutes to be seated along with a large number of other people. The server and chef were fantastic and the food was excellent but a little overpriced. The bathrooms were filthy.

    The lavatory was disgusting and smelly. Greeter was not very friendly and preoccupied. Chef was nice! Has to wait an hour to be seated. Took over two hours for food to be completed. No fault of my chef, just the staff :(
