Benihanas is my favorite place to have a nice dinner. It was my wife’s birthday and the chicken fried rice was too mooshy. Never had that before at Benihanas. I complained to the cook and he agreed they put too much water in the rice. The cook did make another batch for everyone after every thing was cooked. Oh well. The rice was still mooshy after. So the Manager didn’t change for the rice. The fried rice is main reason we come to Benihana. The dinner ruined my wife’s dinner. No good

Every year for my birthday we go to Benihana. We’ve been to many different locations throughout California. This year by far was one of my favorite. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. Our chef was also very attentive, friendly and personable. He put on a great show and everything he cooked was perfect.

It’s not what it used to be. Cooks seem tired and not excited to entertain, service was slow and had to keep asking for the same things. No refills, just not what it was. Won’t be returning

We had an excellent chef (Eric) he was interactive and polite. Every time he served a dish he said excuse me. Very polite. When serving rice boles he flipped over to keep rice covered. It was still hot when rest of meal was served.

We got there for the time of our reservation & they said we were still going to have to wait 2 HOURS! Unacceptable for Mother’s Day, we had to talk to a manager and then still had to wait 30 mins after our reservation. & when we got sat, waited for another 30 mins before we got help. Terrible experience

Our reservation was at 245pm, we didn’t get seated until 5:30! Almost 3hrs later, and we got put in the very back were it was ridiculously HOT! Our cook was very friendly and nice but food was bland and did not taste good. Overall I give it a 1 star, I don’t think I will return. For the amount of $$ you’re spending here the service and food should be immaculate.
