The service was poor - did not check for drinks with frequency. Meal show was good but rushed and one had to eat at the rhythm of the cook. Atmosphere felt like an old restaurant that had not been updated in years. Server was too busy to listen to guests and had to repeat several times to other servers to get attention. Food was good, although filet mignon was not very tasty. Starter soup had no flavor - just hot water with a tasteless mushroom. Shrimp and fried rice was tasty and filling.

Had a very good time the chef was funny and did a few of the tricks for the young people at the table. The food was delicious.

Crowded, salty, chefs bumping into each other. Save your time and money. Just before you enter, hang a left and go down stairs to the blue iguana! Wish we would’ve, probably been much more efficient and enjoyable. Good Luck!!!

Our female server was inattentive, and MIA Long hair hanging over our food and drink. 2+ hrs with little happening in the first hr. No accountability

Family of 5- celebrated a 17yr old bday. Good time had by all. Our chefs energy and engagement level was about 65% - better chef than entertainer. Waitress service level was about 60% - she was a bit stressed but did get our tables order correctly and returned every 20 mins for check ins. It felt more robotic than individualized experience. Good drinks, and quality food. Price: $$$$ average: $50 a plate. Parking available in a garage next to restaurant - Benihana does validated! Don't forget to bring in parking pass! Entry to restaurant is tucked away... Look for red symbol on black sign. We will return for more celebrations.
