We travel to Little Rock often for doctor appts. For a year or more prior to covid this restaurant was less than our expectations. (not sure what happened to the previous general manager/owner person, that used to come around and greet each table), but ever since he left this place went down in service. After covid it was even worse. This time everything was GREAT! Service was AWESOME, food was WONDERFUL, Chef and server were GREAT. Wish I had gotten both of their names. Both were males and I hope to get them next time we visit the area. I have never seen either of them there before so if they are new hires, GOOD JOB... Thank you for a wonderful meal!!!

The host was very friendly and accommodating. They kept me and other parties updated. The server was on top of our drinks without even having to ask. The chef was funny and personable, and very impressive.

A bit pricey so it will not be on my weekly 'go to' list but I had a coupon and that softens the pain. Great place for special occasions. We have been going there for many years and always look forward to our visit.

Our waiter was terrible after we received our food we did not see our server for the rest of the night. He looked at our table and walked away. The manager had to come bring us to go stuff and our tickets. Never once did anyone give us a explanation or apology why our server never came back to our table. We were a table with all African American people he had 2 tables down from us who were all Caucasian and he provided all their needs. Me and my husband will never be coming back and we will make sure to tell everyone about our experience. Hate to say it but some of the servers and manager provided better service to Caucasians especially if you wore a suit.

For the past 12 years, I've been celebrating my birthday at Benihana. On the 7th I returned once again to celebrate my 70th birthday (a big milestone). Much to my disappointment, shortly after the chef finished cooking the meal, people started coming by to clean off the table - I was still eating. There were still two couples remaining at the table and the waitress brought us our checks. She never offered any sherbert nor did anyone come to the table to sing 'happy, happy, happy.' We had to inquire about the sherbert ourselves. Both me and my husband felt as though we were being rushed out off our seats. I doubt I'll be returning next year as it did not feel very celebratory this time around.

So disappointed that they no longer do the Benihana show. There was no flaming onion or anything exciting. that’s the only reason we went there. I ordered filet mignon and there is no way I got filet mignon. I’m thinking that they must’ve mixed mine up with the kids food because my steak was tough and rubbery did not even look like fillet. The rice had three huge scoops of garlic butter, though I love garlic butter the rice was swimming in it. it was just so much I couldn’t eat it.

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.

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.
