    Key West Benihana's is a mandatory stop whenever I visit the keys. I live in Miami, and the Benihana's in my area needs improvement. Key West Benihana's service is fantastic; they are always on time, the food is terrific, and the view of the Atlantic Ocean from the restaurant is spectacular. I've visited four times and am excited to go again.

    Horrible experience. The lowest quality of food we’ve ever had at a restaurant. Everyone was fighting to be heard over each other, packed in like sardines. We had a reservation and was seated at 7pm. Did not receive a water let alone food until 7:50pm. And had our food by 845. Clearly frozen, tasteless, chewy seafood. The Chefs great personality can only take this place so far. Will not be back and would never recommend.

    Food was great, service was good. All in all it was pretty good. The only concern I have is that your bathrooms were disgusting. If the restrooms don’t have a good appearance, makes you wonder how the whole unseen part of the restaurant is. If the food was not cooked in front of me I would have not eaten there. Bathrooms say a lot of the establishment.

    The Chef was outstanding. The onion soup and refreshing salad was good. My wife scallops and my collosal shrimp and steak was delicious. The steak was a little tough for medium rare. Needed a knife even though it was cut up. Pina Coladas were really good. All in all a really great time.

    Key West Benihana did not have good service. We had 8:00pm reservation and had to wait an hour before anyone came to the table. The waitress never brought more tea for me and rarely came to check on us. The chef was great and food was pretty good, but overall, I do not recommend.

    Never, never, never again will I eat at this chain. These people are liars, scammers and could care less about their customers. First of all let’s talk about $21 kids meals? That’s ridiculous. My daughter is a picky teenage eater and wanted to order from the kids menu. I asked the waitress if she could get noodles instead of the rice it comes with….She said yes…. That was a lie… was charged an extra $6 for noodles even though she didn’t get rice. I asked the waitress if I could get a second kids entree, just the entree with no extras for a lower cost, she said yes…. That was a lie…. Charged an extra $21 for nothing but a few chicken strips…. The meals come with ice cream….the waitress offered none and closed out the checks, I asked her if we could get what we were supposed to get and she then said yes and brought out some ice cream half a cup full to rush us out of the restaurant…. Finally, what kind of hibachi restaurant doesn’t include basic fried rice in the $40 hibachi meal charge????? We were asked by the waitress if we wanted fried rice only to find out when we got the bill it was $20 extra for the “fried rice upcharge” for 3 people. When I questioned the waitress about this she said “oh sorry! There’s an upcharge for fried rice”. Onion soup came out Luke warm. Waitress told us about 20 times it was her second day so she clearly had no idea what she was doing. These people are nuts!!!! There are a lot of great places to eat in Key West but this is NOT one of them. Do not walk but RUN away from this place. The only positive was the ocean view, other than that I would rather go without dinner than be robbed by this place again. Total waste of a restaurant meal almost $200 later for 2adults and 2 kids with kids meals. Only water to drink. No appetizers. DONE. Terrible experience with sub par food and limited engagement by the chef.

    Don't expect too much. It's a chain restaurant in Key West. We definitely will not go back. The food was ok. The only readin I went was because, on the menu they had albacore tuna sushi. When I arrived, they didn't have it. Very disappointing, I will not go back.

    Would have been 5 stars but the 3 hostesses practically ignored our party of 3 even though we had reservations due to a birthday. Then a party of 9 showed up (10 mins after us) and were given the highest level of welcome and seated immediately. Their reservations were for the same time as ours but they clearly knew management. We were seated a few minutes after our reserved time passed with another party of 3 that arrived (5 mins+) before us. Why didn’t they seat us first since we were all there earlier than the party of 9? Both of the party's at our table had around $200 bills (we are locals too). The party of nine had 4-5 young children and the 6 at our table were all adults. The server, chef, and food were great. Clean up the welcome and seat any reserved parties as they arrive. BH is too pricey to feel you are nobody special upon arrival!
