   A reservation was set at 7 PM. Didn’t get seated until 734 didn’t get our drink order put in until eight didn’t receive our beverages until 810. This was a first time coming there. I drove 71 miles for my son‘s birthday and we will never ever Come back to this location. The food was undercooked meaning the vegetables the chicken was burnt and taste it burnt.

   We were very disappointed in the food at Benihana. We've been to a number of hibachi restaurants and always enjoyed them. We had heard good things in the past about Benihana, but things must have changed there. The food, including the soup, salad, rice, vegetables, and shrimp were all disappointing. Not nearly as good as they have been in other hibachi restaurants. I would not go here again nor recommend this restaurant to others. Especially frustrating because the prices are high. Definitely not worth the value.

   Service was aweful even after I asked the manager for help. Food is a huge ripoff. Steaks are tiny and lobster was plastic. We used to luv this place now we will never go back

    Compared to other hibachi style steak houses this was way over priced. The food was ok at best again in comparison. 3 out of the 4 of us didn’t like the standard soup. Meals were ok. We spent $300 for two adults and two kids. With one beer. Service was good but for that pricing it should be. My opinion try one of the others as the value just isn’t there
