   Always a wonderful meal here. Disappointed about the switch to Benihana, but I’m sure it will be great!

   They ended up being short staffed on chefs so they hurried and called in help from Saginaw. The guys that came from there were amazing and made the wait worthwhile.

   Love grilled food! Enjoyed teriyaki shrimp, steak, egg, carrots, onion, peppers,zuchini, and rice. Wonderful, delicious meal. We dined on a Sunday evening and there was no line!

   The Chef was interactive and fun. He went above and beyond to make sure our meal was amazing. It was a pleasant experience. I was however disappointed by the wait other staff. It was a Saturday Evening and they only had one waitress and she was busting her butt off. I watched as seven different works just stood there and watched her struggle to take care of seven or eight different tables full of groups. This really made the wait time long. We didn't even get refills. I asked for a box. I waited a half and hour. I got nothing so I went up to the manager and asked for a bill and boxes. We still left the good tip. Because it wasn't to waitress's fault. She appeared to be the only one working besides the chefs. I have always had great luck at the Saginaw Michigan location. I was hoping this experience at the Midland Michigan location would be different this time around.

    The food was good but it was disappointing that the restaurant did not have any sushi or appetizers available due to staffing issues.

    I asked for extra veggies and didn’t get them, but people who didn’t order them, got them. My drink was empty for most of my meal. My chef didn’t really do much.

    Food was good and as expected however they were out of eel for sushi (which is in a majority of their rolls) and the waitress never cleared any items from the early courses from the table, yet an 18% auto-gratuity was added for a group of 4 despite the lackluster service.

    Great food but hostess/server (not sure her role?) made us feel very rushed! Bringing out dessert and to-go containers when our chef had JUST left! We were barely into our dinner yet and wanted to relax and enjoy ourselves. Bit surprised at some of the unprofessional attire as well (greeter in tee shirt and leggings... too casual IMO). Food was yummy though and our chef very friendly.

    Food used be be great here, but the past 3 times we have come it has been very disappointing. For around $30 a plate their are much better options around. I will say that the Service was great and everyone is friendly.

    Service was so slow. I got my margarita after about 20min. We waited too long for our dinner almost 2 hours. They had a full house with people waiting and they only staffed three chefs. So the chefs were rushing our food & didn’t even know who ordered what at our table. The chef gave my filet mignon, ribeye & a shrimp entree to one person at our table when that wasn’t even what the guy ordered but he ate it anyways. I had to tell the chef that’s what I ordered and wait for them to bring out another steak from the back to cook. Go to the Saginaw location, you won’t be disappointed.

    We always enjoy our visits but this time was even better. We went for our anniversary with a couple of our friends and our server was amazing. I don't remember his name but he had a tattoo on his neck, he was super funny and extremely nice. He saw how quickly my husband was going through his drinks and brought him two glasses full so my husband didn't run out before he could get back to our table. Wonderful wonderful place!

    We were very disappointed in the flavor and size of the portions except for the rice. Half the rice was left because out plate overflowed with rice. The popcorn is no longer popped on the grill in front of you and what they served was scorched. Only one sauce was offered rather than the combination of sauce. Overall we were dissatisfied with our visit.

    Love this place. Great food and entertaining. We try to go before 5:30 for the early bird prices so that helps a little with the value (feeding 6 people).

    The food was delicious, but the experience was awkward. Not the cooks fault, but he had no idea what any of our orders were, and one order was just plain wrong. The system was down so it took a terribly long time to pay for the bill. I love this restaurant and will most likely be back, but I can’t say that for the people I was with, they weren’t thrilled with the experience.

    Had a wonderful time at Genji's Steakhouse. The food was great and our Hibachi Chef was a delight. The amount of food was more than enough. Everyone took some home for lunch the following day.

    Our waitress was horrible. Not pleasant, didnt ask about refills, and when i finally asked for another Dr. Pepper please, she brought me Pepsi. Steak was very fatty and tough and well done eventhough i asked for medium rare. Cook barely talked to our whole table. Dropped 20% of the tables vegetables and didnt replace them. And all of his fun little tricks he messed up which isnt a big deal, but was the topper for the poor experience. It was my daughter's Birthday and she passed on the icecream because was supposed to get cheesecake and never got it.

    Our dining experience was pretty good. It was just the three of us at the table Our chef was not the best. He was not great with the ‘tricks’ and not slot of Personality. Our server was not real interactive either. He was very quiet and seemed to be a newer employee. The food was pretty good. Steaks were a little tough but good flavor Overall it was a good experience
