   Still the best Japanese hibachi around. No matter where in the country we go for hibachi, nothing compares to the food and experience at Benihana in Orlando. A bit surprised at the pricing, as it seemed like a considerable increase from our last visit in 2023. But still worth it!

   The experiance started out great. Meal showmanship was very lacking. Food was prepared as ordered and was excellent, except for the fried rice which was bland. Server brought bill as main course was added to plate, which made us feel pressured to eat and get out. Overall, the worst experiance at any of the many Benihanas we've been to.

   Nice in theory. Made an early reservation for Bar/Lounge area. Arrived and was escorted to a Teppan table. Host seemed annoyed when we asked for Bar/Lounge as reserved. Sat at table for 15 minutes before deciding to move to a hibachi table hoping for faster service. Waited for 10 minutes while being ignored. Then went back to the bar where we were finally connected with a server. Things got rolling from there. Spicy Salmon roll and Gyoza were delish as well as the Sangria and Cucumber Collins. Seafood Diablo was flavorful but overpriced as it was mostly Udon and a few veggies. Shirmp, Scallop and Squid were hard to find in the dish. Filet Hibachi lacked flavor. All in all, if you are doing Teppan, sit at the table to make it worth it. If you aren't so interested in the show, do Happy Hour. Great value and fabulous appetizers. Oh, and don't be put off by the lack of service upfront. Our actual server was great!

   Family had reservations for 7:45pm for party of 3. We arrive to a large crowd outside and inside. We finally make to the host who informs us they are running 2hrs behind on reservations! Had we been warned we would not have made the 40 min drive. Since we were there and hungry we decided to eat at the bar which doesn’t come with the “show” we came to experience. I am very disappointed.

   Our Chef was top tier. He was funny, energetic and very entertaining. We had to wait 40 minutes for our reservation, but, understanding as it was Christmas. The parking is limited when busy.

   Service was slow and our table of 10 was overlooked and drinks were not served until 45 minutes later. Our server knocked a wine glass off the table and broke it, our chef spilled five raw eggs on the floor. In spite of these issues, the food was good.
