We came for a birthday party and had a great time. Atmosphere was perfect for a celebration. The food (beef and shrimp) was good quality and drinks were really good. The soup and salad were not so good. The soup was luke warm beef broth (I almost sent it back) and the salad was limp (I didn't finish it). The fried rice, on the otherhand, was a highlight. Everyone loved it. The only thing that really bugged me was how the chef literally slopped the food on to our plates. Rather than presenting the newly cooked food and arranging it on our plates in an eye pleasing way he literally slopped it right on top of everything else. I would recommend making some effort to present the food in a more pleasant way. Otherwise, like I said, we had a great time and it made for a nice different night out. A change of pace.

Both our server and our chef were high as a kite! Chef did not do any type of performance for us and there were 2 children at the table. We asked for soy sauce and the chef just squirted it on our food. He read our food orders from the ticket and didn’t follow anything. We had to remind the waitress of everything that came with our meals. She charged us for another guests item and it took her three trips to get it removed from the ticket. The fried rice was hard and flavorless and the lobster was way over cooked. All in all it was a terrible experience and we won’t be back.

They are truly under staffed. No need for reservations because you won’t be seated for about 30 minutes after reservation time. The wait for a cook seem to be 30- 45 minutes. Just plan to spend all day there.

We got there at 6:45 did not get served till 8:15. Then our order was written up wrong had to wait another 10 min. We should have gotten a visit from management to explain delay. People came at 8 and were served before us. The cook was apologizing

We go every year for my birthday...and always with a reservation. This location was obviously short-staffed as we were not seated even close to our reservation time and then waited literally 18 minutes before anyone came to our table to get our drink order! A full hour after our reservation time, we received our salads. The chef and the waitress were not in sync so the 6 courses were not served in the right order. But the chef did a good job and the food tasted great, as usual! It was just a bit disappointing, as we've had much better service at prior visits. We'll be back next year though! It's now a 15+ year tradition.

We went for a birthday celebration. It was fun. the soup was very good. We did not care for the dressing on the salad. Our chef was a little slow getting to our table. It was a weeknight so we felt they may have been a little short staffed. there was also a very large party there. Our steak was cooked perfect.

The food is not what it used to be. While still pretty good not as special. The salad dressing is different and there is no consistency in the cooking… what happened to all the sesame seeds? The vegetables were all mixed together and oily. The server was not as attentive as usual. Did not ask if we needed more to drink. The Birthday celebration has really changed. Only two people sang, no photo taken and no fancy dessert, just 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. This is our second time in the month and both visits were disappointing. Sorry but it’s not the same.

There was too long of a wait to be seated although we had reservations. Food was dry and not tasteful. They were short on chefs and soon as our food was placed on our plates we were asked were we ready for to-go boxes.

I made a reservation for 2:00 PM and was not seated until 2:50 PM. This was unacceptable and really upset me. The manager made excuses for this and no accommodations were given to me and my party of 5 for throwing us off our schedule for an entire hour. The restaurant was dirty and the warmth of service was dry.

I was very disappointed. First time for my family members and the chef did not put on the show I was expecting nor the show I witnessed at the table across from us. I feel they should all be trained accordingly and the show/cooking should be consistent at each table.

We had a reservation and waited for over an hour and cook never came to the table. When we asked the server what was going on he said the chefs can choose which tables to go to and it did not matter who arrived first. We got up and left…. Manager did not appear to care that they lost our business. Will not go back

Restaurant floor was very dirty and had obviously not been vacuumed or cleaned in some time. We also had to wait close to an hour after ordering until the hibachi chef came to our table. Bad experience overall and not what I would expect from Benihana and definitely not what I’ve experienced in the past. Don’t know that I’ll go back again.

BAD MANAGEMENT!!!!!We had a reservation for 6:30 and at 8:00 we had not received drinks yet. The table we arrived at was dirty and food was on the floor. The table was full of flies. We complained to the manager and he told us to leave if we didn’t like it and was very rude. We had two groups of six and they would not set us near each other and there was plenty of empty tables.

We spent $300 on one of the worst meals we have ever had. We went for a special bday after not going for several years. It used to be so good and fun. It’s sad that it’s gone downhill. I guess when I saw how many reservations were available it should have been my first clue.

The place is dirty. Shoes sticking to carpet in entry of restaurant where you check in. Chef was non-performative and dull. Not entertaining like most Teppanyaki dining chefs are. He even forgot the shrimp entirely for one of the guys at our table. Quality of food was decent, but hard to enjoy when the ambiance is so bad. Drinks (cocktails) were mixed well and tasted great.
