    Sat at the bar and was not acknowledged for 15 minutes. Ordered medium well steak and CHICKEN came out and had an attitude so I kept the meal. Did not take my beverage order or give me any water. When I paid I did not get to sign my receipt or give a tip basically was told to leave without it.

    I have been going to Benihanas for many years and this was one of the best visits in a long time. The Chef was engaged, the waitress extremely helpful, and the manager took Father's Day photos which he gave us as a memory gift. Excellent day!

    We had a great time for Father’s Day and my son‘s eighth birthday. He loved seeing the chef at the center of the table and he said the food was delicious. The service was great and a lovely time was had by all.

    We are Manhattan natives, we are a traditional family of three, our child is nine years old, and we are just as acquainted with child-friendly establishments as we are with places where the bill for the three of us is well over $200, as it was here. We are far from being gourmet but neither are we gourmands, and we value good food and food that we do not make at home. While splurging sometimes, we admire value. None of these elements were found in this restaurant. The food you are eating—and remember you see all the raw ingredients in front of you on the griddle (although they called it a grill or hibachi at different times, but it is a griddle) are high-quality. You are eating the meat that is at the same level that you would get in a package from Trader Joe’s or what I imagine is on the lower end of what Sysco offers restaurants. Remember, you see all the raw ingredients as the chef takes it out of his cart and slaps it on the griddle, and it is clear that the grain, or fat pattern, on the steaks is minimal or absent. My filet mignon was chewy and none too tasty; my wife’s so-called New York strip steak was half an inch thin or less with no visible grain at all and not at all tender. It is cut into small bits to facilitate the chewing and for show naturally. Kids tend to get chicken, and you really can’t go wrong with that (and make sure you specify a child’s portion which is about $15 less). But the salad is iceberg lettuce and the corn tastes canned or frozen, and the zucchini (the only vegetables you get) thickly julienned and requiring the heavy spice they put on it. The sauce that they call “Yum Yum” and recommend for the steak is none other than Russian dressing—mayonnaise and ketchup. The chef’s talent and agility with flashing, clanging knives is variable. Ours, God bless him, made a minimal effort and looked weary of the whole thing. We went for my wife’s birthday and walked away a little demoralized. You might say it is what is, but it ain’t for us.
