This place has gotten way too expensive. The food is average but charge 60 bucks for a hibachi meal... And then UP CHARGE for fried rice! Bill for 2 with no apps or drinks was 170.00... ridiculous. Thats 5 star restaurant prices. I used to love this place but the prices have gone up about double in the last couple years.

Had a bit of a sticker shock when we saw the bill included and additional 18.10 service charge. We were placed at a communal spot, but were not informed of the 20% service charge. Could barely hear the cook and waitress. Food was average. Not planning on coming back

Great food. Server that gave us salad, soup, etc. was very personable and helpful. Chef that prepared food did not smile once. He only talked to us to confirm what we had to eat. Flipped the utensils a few times, otherwise he had interaction with us at all. A big let down on the entertainment part…especially for the amount of money we paid. We looked around and other chefs/cooks were laughing, twirling eggs, and actually interacting with the guests.

Our family is used to dining at Benihana for special occasions a few years ago we had a rough experience and vowed not to go back, but one of the family members wanted to go back for their birthday so we did it last night nine of us now we have all vowed all nine of us. We will never return to a Benihana Service was lousy. The value was lousy the cook forgot some of the meals and the overall ambience is dry and dull so we are finished with Benihana.

My mistake but adter dinner I was handed a machine and was told if you want to add tip do it here. I did so rather generously while the server hovered. Not until I left the restaurant did I see signs that indicated they automatically add a service charge. I checked the bill and in fact they did add a service charge to which I added to. I called the restaurant to speak with a manager. Was “transferred” to someone who said they would have a manager call me back. That has not happened. I am not asking for a refund as ultimately it was my mistake. But the process was misleading and should be changed.

The experience this time was poor, I have to remind the server regarding the salad. And the bill was given before we were offered the ice cream, I had to remind her about the free ice cream, it’s not worth 20% of the service charge

We had a great time together was a little surprised that they only offered the dinner menu for lunchtime! We elected bar area seating to avoid the automatic tip they like to put on your bill for sitting at the hibachi tables I still tipped 18% because she did a great job but I don’t like to be forced to pay 20% when you don’t know if service was going to be good or not. Anywho I do love the food but can only dine here on special occasions due to what I think are high prices.
