    Celebrated my 65th birthday this time. Food was very good, as usual and a lot! Filet was best I’ve had. Lobster was just a tad over cooked and it’s way more expensive that it should be but Chef Long was great, service was great and had enough leftovers for 2 more meals! Always have a good time here. Always recommend

    We have been to Benihana locations in Texas, Florida, Las Vegas then to the one here in Little Rock. By far this was the worst experience that we have ever had. Out waitress could not keep our glasses full of drinks. The chef had no showman ship. As he cooked we kept asking for more garlic butter to be added and he would not add. The rice was dumped in our plates. We asked for it to be left in a bowl and chef stated he didn’t have enough bowls only the one. Asked for separate plates to keep the foods from piling up on top of each other so I could taste the foods individually. Finally got the plate and chef insisted to just reach over and dump the vegetables, shrimp and steak on top of the rice even though I asked for it not to be piled up on top of the rice. He watched me remove it each time. Then once done he cleaned the cook top slinging food with the rag as he wiped it down. By far the worst experience our family has ever had at this chain of restaurants and hope it gets better. Wouldn’t recommend to visit.

    Soup was watered down. Didn’t get sushi appetizers until we’d already started eating main course. For was bland. Not worth the cost.

    Having dinner there on Easter Sunday was so nice! The staff was friendly even when two of my guests were no shows. We were seated in a timely manner and our cook was good. He made the experience fun and the food was good! My family and I will definitely be back!
