   My tables food was not good at all. Everything was bland. I never really had a bad experience at Benihana’s but today was not it.

   Who knew coming to Benihana’s on a Wednesday night was going to be hectic. Well let me tell you coming to place where the Anaheim Convention Center is just a couple miles away you wouldn’t be that shocked. The food was good, as always. Got to love that chicken fried rice and ginger sauce. Our chef was amazing like always, Oscar, thank you for a great meal and lots of laughs.

   Had a reservation, arrived on time but they noted they were about 30 minutes behind schedule. Chef was coughing non stop throughout, but was wearing a mask.

   We made a reservation for 7pm, showed up 5 minutes early, but had to wait over 45 minutes to be seated. Our chef Josue was fantastic, but every other aspect of service was terrible. Restaurant is designed way too crowded so it's cramped and noisy. By far the most I've ever paid for such a commercial experience. I've been to other locations that were way better.

    Food? Wonderful! Server? Kyle was awesome Chef? Mark was even better Ambiance? Quite crowded, but that is to be expected Noise Level? Louder than expected, a little perturbed Value? A bit pricey, but in today's economy... Overall? I hadn't been to a Benihana's in years, but happy to realize that despite all the woes that the food industry endured in the last 7 years, this establishment did not disappoint at all. It restored to me the luster Benihana 's still has, and I for one will return.
