   Was a tad bit early for our 3 pm reservation however, it did not take long at all to be seated. We were 1 of 2 couples seated at the hibachi grill area. Our hostess was great and our chef was even better. Hibachi Colossal shrimp was delicious along with a paired Sangria. Benihana never disappoints!!!

   They did not celebrate a birthday we were having even though I noted the reservation and also told them at the table. Service was lacking and we had to ask the manager to get started with water after waiting for 10 minutes or more. Poor customer service unfortunately, food was decent but overall ranking was disappointing.

   The food made my stomach hurt so bad. I normally eat Benihana at least once every 2 to 3 months and I’ve never had an issue like this will not be coming back to Benihana anytime soon. This made me feel super uncomfortable. Once I got home it was definitely a temperature issue With the food, which is why I was not feeling well and sick!

   Over the years the pricing of the food has good up but it is still the same tricks. A kids meal is over $20. The experience is getting old.

   Wanted to try something new, to be honest this location shows it’s age, beat up walls, old flat tops etc. The waitress was good but the chef was lack-luster, didn’t give a great performance serving the food you would expect at a hibachi restaurant.

    I have had many great experiences at the Farmington Hilld Benihana. But this time was probably one of the worst, unfortunately. The server was EXTREMELY slow. It took forever to even get our drinks and for awhile she just disappeared. The cook knew my husband had a shellfish allergy and when he was giving the shrimp appetizer after I told him that I would get his, he still put them on his plate over his food!! I honestly could not believe that and from there my husbands appetite was ruined. We had a 630pm reservation and didn't walk out of there until well after 9pm. Definitely not the experience I had hoped for for my son's birthday celebration. Things have seemed to go downhill at this particular store and we may start going to a different location.

    Dear Sierra! Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your recent experience and truly regret the issues you encountered, especially regarding the food allergy and slow service. This is far from the standard we aim to uphold, and we understand how disappointing this must have been—especially on a special occasion like your son's birthday. Your concerns have been shared with our management team to ensure this is addressed immediately. We appreciate your past visits and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the experience you’ve come to expect.
