Just as expected at the Beni Hana locations, great food and fun. Took our little daughter (7) and it was her first time, she enjoyed the chefs fun antics. We got the Beni trio which was awesome and too much food which is nice though.. for our little girls she chose the hibachi chicken.. all was bomb!

Service was great. Some dishes were better than others (wasn’t a fan of the oxtail dumplings, but that’s more personal preference). Overall food was tasty, and I enjoyed the experience.

I think they were over booked. It took 15 minutes after our reservation to be seated and then another 20 minutes before our order was taken. Then they ran out of the entree dish that I ordered. So a bit underwhelming.
