    A nice Japanese steak house. The chef's tricks are the great, but the food is somewhat better than usual. Very fine service!

    The staff was very congenial. Even though they had a full house, they still took the time to sing happy birthday to me.

    My family has been going to Benihana's for years. It is a great value for the money - especially for lunch. My kids, now teenagers, still love to go there as a family.
