   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!!!

   The food was amazing as always! However, we made reservations for 6 and still had to wait almost an hour to be seated.

   Our waitress walked past us three times before FINALLY coming over to greet us . We waited at least twenty minutes before getting our drink orders taken.

   Good chef, and food was prepared correctly, but he had none of the showmanship that has always been a part of the experience. We assumed that he is new and just learning.

    The chef was not entering at all and did not engage us while cooking. We had an egg allergy and he used the egg spatula with the chicken without wiping it off and he forgot to add the vegetables in our rice. We go because of the environment but from now on we will just order take out or find another place. The food was amazing as always despite the issues.

    We were part of a party of 10 celebrating a family birthday. We had a reservation for 7pm. Our table was not ready and we weren’t seated until 7:30. The food was good and our drinks were refilled promptly. The restaurant is in need of a facelift. It is run down. The vents over the tables appeared not to work as the smoke from the grill blew straight in the faces of the people seated in front of the grill. Those seated on the sides were spared most of the smoke assault. However the smell of the grilled goods permeated our clothing and coats. I don’t think I will return.

    The chef and the food was exactly how it should have been. the help was overwhelmed and really hurt our experience. Our table mates were extremely entitled and needy causing a lot of wasted motion. We used my (71st) birthday promotion which the help forgot about. Probably our last visit here there are more pleasant choices as to where to dine.

    The food was good, abundant and priced very reasonably. Of course it’s good because they use plenty of salt, butter and oil, as you would expect. The steak was good and trimmed of fat, which I really appreciate. The chef was great and very entertaining for my 11 year old son and his two friends. The experience with our waitress was awful. We flagged two waitresses down (neither of which was ours) and finally the hostess came and got our replacement drink order. The cold sake was awful. Tasted like sweet fruit cocktail juice. Fine, it’s not fine dining. The restaurant itself is in need of a complete renovation. If not that, then at least a serious scrubbing. I’m ok with dated décor given what it is. But due to the grease, everything looks and feels gross. As soon as we walked into the dining room, we could see the smoke that wasn’t being sucked out by the ventilation. I think the ventilation system needs a serious scrubbing/replacement more than anything to help the place feel cleaner. And because the ventilation was so inadequate, we left smelling like the grease trap. We had to crack our windows on the way home. So final synopsis is food is fine and everything else is pretty bad. Will look for another hibachi style restaurant next time my son really wants it.

    We had reservations and arrived on time. The hostess acknowledged that we had reservations but acted as though we didn’t, seating (and greeting other new arrivals) before us. As a result, other parties got their food first, too.

    We always love eating at Benihana but this time we could not enjoy our food felt rushed. I was still eating my soup had eaten a little salad and the waitress jerked it up and put dirty dishes on top. My daughter order the land and sea and had eaten her scallops but had over half of her filet minion and rice and shrimp she had plan to take home. But an elderly man jerked her plate up and tossed it while she was eating her birthday ice cream. So you pay a lot for the food to be rushed through your meal and them garbage it very disappointed ☹️ this time.

    The chef didn’t do any of the standard show you go to Benihana for. It was like just watching a line cook prepare a meal. We drove over an hour to enjoy the experience, was very disappointing.

    I mentioned in our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday but there was no candle or show. I figure when you pay about $30-$40 a plate, you’re paying for the showmanship of the chef as well. Our filet mignon was served rare but we ordered a higher temp. I’m just surprised at this particular dinner. My kids look forward to their birthdays here but there wasn’t anything special about this dinner. It was like any other Wednesday.

    The cook didn’t talk much, not much of a show, just get the food cooked and get out of there. I could be wrong but didn’t you used to have two sauces, cook just asked if we wanted some kinda sauce or yum yum sauce
