Our hibachi chef Isaiah was excellent. The food was amazing. I was a little concerned about price at first but the amount of food they cook changed my mind. We had 2 orders of hibachi shrimp and 1 hibachi steak, chicken fried rice for everyone at the table. Everything was cooked perfect and the chef’s interaction with the table and his sense of humor was great. The only drawback is you don’t know who you’ll be seated with if you don’t have a big party of your own. The people seated with us had two young children and the little girl was scared of the flames and the chef hitting the grill with the spatulas. So she cried almost the whole prep time.

The bathrooms were very messy, all the paper was on the floor and every trash was overflowing. The food is good and the cook was entertaining but overall facility is dated.

Valet or walk a good distance, the chef was just shy of awesome. The food, however, I have to rate a 2.5 out of 5. I wasn't too pleased with the overall vibe. I won't be going here again. It wasn't bad, but I'd rather dine elsewhere. Shout out to the Jamaican chef, though she was super sweet and fun. Oh, it's on the water, so that's nice.

Food was as expected Waiter service was excellent Chef was disappointing You pay for the show and there was no show. Making it far from worth the price for what is basically chicken and rice.

The food was good and our chef super!! The only thing I did not like was the customer service from management. The managers need to be trained better. The manager walked the floor and never came to any the tables from what I can see to ask how was the food or how was the service or if you need anything. I’m very disappointed in the Benihana customer service. Our waitress was very good and professional and attentive to our table. As much money as people are paying for food and can’t get good customer service.. If we don’t support your business how are you going to say in business.

Our server was the worst part of this experience, she had a terrible attitude and acted like we were an inconvenience. I asked her for a second round of drinks and she snapped at me and said she’d clear our dirty dishes in a little, which was not what I’d asked for. When the drinks did arrive she slammed them on the table. She never checked on us to see how our meal was. Our chef (Ricardo?) was great, he was entertaining and cooked the food perfectly. Thank you Chef for making our guest feel special during her first trip to America!
