    Once and never again. The food is okay but it's a factory and to commercial. They really need to remove a table or 4 and decorate the restaurant better. I been to Benihana London and that one is way better!

    We had a semi private table for our group of six plus on other couple. The room was cozy and it’s always fun to watch the food cooked with flair. We happened to go during restaurant week which was a fantastic deal for $45 with more food than we could finish.

    I have eaten here numerous times but this last visit was very sub-par. I dined downstairs this time at the regular tables instead of the hibachi ones upstairs. The food was terrible! The shrimp were way overcooked, the rice was bland and there was barely any veggies given on the plate. My coworker who was dining with me was also unhappy with her food and she had the chicken which she noted as being dry and lacking flavor, along with the hibachi rice. We were both very underwhelmed by the whole experience. I can't say that I would ever want to go back. We spent 125$ and the only thing good out of it was the drinks. Our bartender was quick overwhelmed but she still made great drinks and served us as best as she could given the crowd at the bar.
