    Server was polite, yet overwhelmed. I did NOT order fried rice, rather steamed rice with my meal. The steamed rice came out, after I finished my meal. Beverages were not refilled. When restaurants charge a premium for their food/service, I do not accept "understaffed" as a reasonable defense.

    Please hire customer oriented waiters. I’m very upset at the price I paid for the service I received. It was very unpleasant. The restaurant wasn’t exactly clean. I understand the restaurant is a busy place. I can’t begin to describe how upset I was due to how the waiter treated my niece and I. It took us 2 hours to get food and leave. Waiter was watching videos on his phone and very rude. He bumped into me but he did apologize. He did not being the other party at my table until almost 30 minutes later. No bags. We carried all of our food out in our hands. I’m very upset.

    The food was amazing and it was fun to watch the chef, who seemed to enjoy cooking our food. He entertained us the whole time he cooked. We had a really good time interacting with the others at the table as well as the chef.

    We stated we were celebrating a birthday but they never even acknowledged the birthday child. We were told they would sing Happy Birthday but nothing was done. Service took way too long to even begin the cooking & our cook didn't really engage with anyone at our table. We used to love Benihana Hibachi but don't see us coming back due to the poor service.

    The hostess is somewhat rude. She seems to acknowledge the white people before the black ones without taking into account or finding out is first. I’ve experienced this on more than one occasion and this is the first time I’ve been given a survey for feedback. Last evening was no different. When my party and another lady, which was white, was standing at the check in she acknowledged the white lady even though I was standing directly in front of her face because I was first and the lady was behind me to the side.

    We have been going to Benihana’s for decades & this is the far most worst experience we have had. Have been celebrating our son’s birthday here since he was 6, and he is now 22. It took an hour to get soup or salad- and this is because I had to speak to the manager, which did go above and beyond once she was aware of the issue. They were not busy- the couples we had sitting next to us where ordering a ton of shots and drinks - and the waitress stayed focused on them the whole night. Not once did she fill our drinks- we ended up staying only because of the manager & her willingness to help the situation. Once we had our food, it was excellent but we where rushed since they where already closed & the waitress’s lake of managing her time.

    We love bringing friends here for the first time. The service is fantastic, the food is always cooked just like you request and most importantly the staff is always giving their best to every customer. My family has been coming to this location for 20 years for birthday dinners and quality time and we are never disappointed. Thank you Bennihana’s!!!
