Benihana - Maple Grove

We have requested a chef the last 3x we have been there and have not been accommodated.
The chef was there and with the slow service and the time we waited for a chef, there was more than enough time for this request to be honored.
Glasses and plates were not cleared in a timely fashion or even if at all.
Just not the upscale experience we have had in the past.

It was awesome! !! Everyone was super! Can't wait to go again. Our friends birthday was that day. They were super to us !! That people that were placed at our table were fun too !!!

It was ok nothing to get excited about especially for the price.overall there's room for improvement

We had a great time for my sons birthday. Staff was very friendly

Awesome - the staff was very attentive and the cook was excellent. Highly recommend

I'd recommend Benihana - Maple Grove to a friend only if they were planning on going to a Benihana; not over other restaurants in the area. This particular Benihana has really gone down hill. The food is still good, but relative to other experiences at this Benihana, the value is really starting to go down. The chef (as amazing as they are) forgot a lighter to pull off a trick, left the table to find one, in the meantime food was burning. When he came back, he served the burnt offering to all at the table. Tuna was more rare than medium rare. Completely butchered the cut.

Please know, that Benihana's is as much about the experience and the food. I know a lot of the concerns are petty. But $200 for an experience and I've come to expect a certain standard from Benihana's and this time it was below par. I'll likely return, but it will be a while.

Food was very good, service was ok not great, and very noisy

Our server Paul was great and Chef Ly prepared good meal

We had great service and food at Benihana. Everything was excellent. Looking forward to returning there in the near future!!

Our chef Jackson was amazing. We had our 3 year old with us and he made it very entertaining and enjoyable for us all.

We had a birthday gc from you but disappointed can only use mon- thurs other than that we all loved the food.

The Manager was so amazing. I had late members for my reservation and he was able to fit us in anyway. Then when they were short a chef and we had to wait, he comped our bill a certain percentage. So great!

Our family went for a Bday with 3 kiddos. We made a reservation for 5pm 2 weeks early. We were very looking into having fun. Greetings was not really friendly. We have been asked to wait a few minutes. People that were entring was getting seated before us. We left 20min later very frustrated to find a better place to enjoy our party.

Our chef did not talk much and did very few tricks !!!!! Food is always KILLER !!!!!

Entertaining, polite and engaging staff.
Great food!

Excellent lunch at Benihana in Maple Grove. Our Teppenyaki chef was outstanding - food was great. Not cheap so don’t freak when you get the check.

We weren't seated until all parties arrived even though we had reservations at 645 had to wait for the other parties guests to all arrive - we were not the same party so waiting for strangers before being seated seemed silly. It was a lot closer to 7, if not shortly after that we were seated for my reservations.

We had a great night out at benihana. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. It is a lot of fun and Hector our cook did a great job and was also very entertaining for our group. The price was very good for the quality and quantity of service and food we received.

Prices are spendy. Wish they had better prices for dinner.

MEH. The "Chef" only did three tricks...looked like he was bored and hated his job. The food was basic and flavorless. He messed up our daughter's order and forgot another women's steak.--part of her lunch duet. I will say we got seated right away and the host was on top of refilling our lemonades and water. So, since we go out to eat often and there are many choices--this lunch and a "show" was not worth it.

This was our best Benihana experience EVER! We always have a good experience, but our chef Steven was just so fun. He played off my 8 year old son's jokes and laughter, going back and forth. Our entire table was cracking up. It really was a great night. It was extra special because my dad was in town for a bladder cancer appointment. It was wonderful to take his mind off his cancer and enjoy time with our family. Thank You!

It was really fun watching, laughing and eating with our family (and some new friends at our table!) We’d go back again! L0TS of food, all pretty tasty.

We went here for my mother-in-laws 60th birthday. She loved it!

This was my first Benihana experience and it was so much fun! Great cook and employees and the food was delicious. I also really appreciated the $30 birthday coupon!

I have been to Benihana a variety of times in my life. This was by far the best experience I have ever had. “Dynamite” was our server and he did a fantastic job. Our chef also great! He did some tricks that I have never seen before at Benihana.

Great food and service. Waiter was attentive without being a pest and our chef was really fun. The food was amazing and we all ended up taking a doggie bag because the portions were so generous.

My first trip to Benihana was good but not great. Had reservations for 5 pm and our chef didn't arrive until 6:15. Therefore, didn't get out until 7:30. Presentation was good as our chef did a few tricks with spinning knives and other kitchen items. However, didn't engage us like the next table I noticed. That chef made a lot of his table laugh and did tricks with the food. Shooting it into the mouths of some of his guests. Had a coconut mojito which was very good. Food was decent but not great. Have had better food at a comparable restaurant like Osaka. Overall a nice experience but wouldn't make it a top choice when looking to dine out on a Saturday evening

The food was great, our servers were great, but it look over an hour before the food started arriving and they started making it. We were there for over 3 hours to eat dinner.

The food, as always, was great. It was pretty busy for lunch, but we didn't have to wait too long for a table with our reservation.

Birthday dinner

Please dont combine reserved tables with others. I don't want to paired with a random family who has loud kids.

We had a great night!!! 🤗

Benihana's is a great dining experience. You sit at the table and they cook the food in front of you--you know it's fresh! The chefs are also very entertaining and fun. Good value, good food, and awesome Yum Yum sauce!

Dinner was delicious! We will be definitely be go back!

We got sat in the way back, even though we had a reservation and there were plenty of open tables. We were sat by their prep area, lots of mess and dirty carts. It was NOT a good experience. The server didn’t come back for refills or to check on us until the end. The chef was fine but wasn’t very engaging like we’ve had before. It was disappointing.

the wait after arriving is a bit to long , even when you have a reservation . not right.

The waitress was great but our chef who suppose to make the whole experience great had no personality or skills. He missed 99.99% of all tricks. My kids who celebrated their birthdays were very disappointed. I was disappointed for them as we went there because they wanted to see the tricks. I wouldn’t go there again for a special occasion. So disappointed!!

Our waitress was super friendly and making sure we never had an empty glass or dirty plates in front of us for too long. The chef was amazing, very energetic and put on a great show.

It was ok. Very busy establishment. Food was just ok for the price we paid. One person in our group ordered white rice and got no rice. It was our first time there, so by time we realized she wasn't getting any it was to late to ask.

Tricked into a holiday lunch menu
