    We check in and the manager is on the phone telling a worker if they don’t come in they’re fired. Waited for our table.. they were very disorganized. Ordered drinks, took forever. Ordered sushi for Before meal. Again took forever came with the meal. The cook we had was really good. Ask for soy sauce and they gave us soy sauce packets. Could not believe it. Ask the server for straws never received them. There was so much more that went on.. I won’t be going back there ever again. Will be writing to corporate it was really bad..

    Benihana is one of our favorite restaurants. We enjoy it lots. This time we have 2 family members celebrating their birthdays. So we were excited to go back! We brought copies two (2) related birthday certificates so we could enjoy the benefits of it. At the end of the evening, and for whatever reason, we were presented with two (2) separate bills/checks showing the split of the total amount covering our dinner The waiter/host mentioned he needed to charge us that way so that the certificates were credited effectively showing with our bills/checks. It was unexpected and unpleasant as we never experienced this before as we have celebrated multiple birthdays at Benihana before and were never split charges this way.

    Love being able to come in and sit at the lounge bar with no wait! Food is always served quickly and service is always great. Only downside is people are waiting in the same area and so might get a little chaotic while eating but overall good vibes.

    The “show” was close to non-existent. The few he attempted he messed up on. The order taker were aggressive on the fried rice and made you feel bad if you only want white rice. The value isn’t the same anymore.

    The dinner started too late. The food was sub par. The restaurant was dirty. The plates were dirty and we had to request for cleaner ones.
