    It was a great experience for our family. It was the first time for my son to have hibachi and he loved the tricks and entertainment that came with it. Both of our servers were very attentive. Our cook was very sociable and he paid extra attention to our son, even giving him corn and extra vegetables. To top it off he wrote “I ❤️ U” with the food. The meats were very well flavored and yummy. The place was very full and crowded. It was hard to hear our conversation.

    Started off not great had a 7pm reservation and had to wait 15mins to be seated. We had a nice table we were in a private room with just our party of 7. Server and Chef were nice but we all got sick the next day. Cross this one off the list.

    Benihana is a consistent experience and the NYC location did not disappoint. The food and the chef were both great. The restaurant itself is starting to look a bit dated but beyond that if you want the classic hibachi experience Benihana still delivers.
