The food was good and the service was good. We had not been to this restaurant in years. It was definitely a step Down than it used to be but still decent.

The food was amazing, but you should be patience with the servers as it seems they’re understaffed and it takes a while when the house is full.

Worst experience ever. Slow service - over 90 minutes that almost caused us to miss our show. Cooking experience was bad. Didn’t listen to requests (medium rare was served medium well). Three of us ordered refillable lemonades - server rarely came back. They force a 20% tip on you but leave the tip line on the receipt so you can double pay. Will be a long time before we go back.

Everything was good. They do have a mandatory 20% Gratuity charge which many don’t agree with. They should allow people to tip what the feel.

This place is fun and the staff were wonderful. Be sure to ask about parking. This is not advertised and our party spent over $50 to park nearby. After spending hundreds of dollars on dinner, which was expected and to discover they have onsite FREE parking when we were leaving was very disappointing. Benihana managers, please notify customers that make a reservation about onsite FREE parking.

I felt I walked into the 1960’s, the restaurant is so outdated. Once we sat upstairs the noise was unbearable. There was a large group that took up several tables and they were LOUD. Ruined the night and the food was nothing special.

Even with a reservation it took more than an hour before our chef came to the table. Every order was wrong at the table and chef did not speak English and did understand when the other guests tried to make sure they were getting the correct food. I ordered sushi that never came out even after reminding the waitress 3 times. We never got the ice cream that came with our meals. Everything was majorly overcooked which is crazy since the chef is right there in front of you. Medium rare steak came with no pink and very chewy. Skip is place and go to one of the local hibachi places.

It was my son's birthday & we were on vacation from New Orleans, LA. First time in Milwaukee & this one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had in a long time. We handle the situation with grace but would never visit again, especially if this is the 1st impression of Benihana. I strongly recommend somewhere else to go.
