    My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving Dinner at Benihana’s!! We took home a few leftovers, but we didn’t have to cook and clean up any messes! The food was delicious and Jason the Server was very attentive. I can’t remember the name of our cook, but he was wonderful. And at the next table Dennis was friendly and always had a Big Smile! We enjoyed our time there VERY MUCH!!

    Service was good and food tasted good. Our issues, whoever prepped the cart didn’t measure correctly, so everything was short. Not enough veggies, wrong count on shrimp, not rice for everyone to have a bowl; only thing correctly prepped was the entree. Also, the wagyu was not true wague beef; it was good, but not worth the price. This was not our typical experience here, so chalking it up to an off night, but there shouldn’t be an off night when you change such high prices.
