Had the worst experience with service. I wish I could rate only on the cooking experience. Alexandro was the best cook. It was my sister and I first time coming to Benihana but the sever Bobby was the worst. He picked up every one else's soup and salad bowl and I had to ask for home to pick up ours, he never brought our white rice out till we were almost down with our meal and that's because we asked the cook, had us sitting for over 30 minutes waiting for a bill. I had to get up and ask the hostess to look for him. I complained to the Manager Emma and I didn't even get an apology. Such horrible service.

The floor is dirty. The place needs TLC. It's in a great location, but again it needs major cleaning. Especially the carpet

Unfortunately, they overbooked themselves with not enough cooks. After being seated, which was half hour after the time of our reservation, we waited over 1 hour at the table to for a cook to come and start making our food.

We had a 6:15 PM reservation and ended up waiting over an hour and a half to be seated — with no proactive communication or update from the manager on duty. We were originally told it would be just a 20-minute delay. This was meant to be a special celebration for my child’s 3rd birthday, but it turned into a frustrating and stressful experience. Not a single apology, no complimentary drinks, no gesture to make up for the situation — just silence and disorganization. The lack of accountability, poor communication, and indifference from the staff made an already bad situation feel downright disrespectful. Truly disappointing management and customer care. Marc

Running an hour behind schedule with no warning we we called or when we checked in for the reservation that we had for nearly 2 months. By the time we learned about how long the wait would be, it was too late to find alternative arrangements. We had hungry teens, including graduates. Purchased appetizers to try to hold them over. Despite sitting at the bar it took over 30 minutes for someone to ask if we needed assistance and the bar was not overly busy. Some of our party had to leave and were unable to celebrate with us due to the wait and their long drives home / other obligations. Really unfortunate. No apologies, no discounts, no comped appetizers or drinks… nothing. Just that it was a busy time. We will not be returning.
