Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Benihana - Orlando on International Drive offers "amazing food" and a lively dining experience with entertaining chefs, making it a memorable spot for celebrations. While the food consistently impresses, the restaurant struggles with "long wait times" even with reservations and "overcrowding." The ambiance and service are noted for being hit-or-miss, so patience is advised.

    The service was very poor and slow. There was a long dark hair in my salad and the waitress was very flippant when I told her… she took the salad away and never came back. Had to call her over and she said “don’t know where it came from.. you have white hair and I have red and no one in the kitchen has that color hair and the cooks wear hats”. Lack of customer service!! Understaffed and server never came back to ask if we needed more beverages or anything, chef had to call her. Very expensive for what it is and this location of course is very touristy and loud.

    Our visit to this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The meals were prepared separately, which caused significant delays, and even when they were finally ready, they were over-spiced and overhyped. It was clear that the chef lacked enthusiasm and motivation, which was reflected in the poorly prepared dishes. To make matters worse, they forgot to serve the rice that was supposed to accompany our meal, and the glasses we were given were dirty. Overall, it was a thoroughly unsatisfactory experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
