   Delicious food and generous portions. Wait staff is efficient and personable. Hibachi chef is funny and engaging. Split the dual lunch portion for 2 people for a great value that you might be able to actually finish

   I used to love this restaurant but no more. So rushed - was in and out in an hour. Used to be a dinner with a show. Not a great waitress or hibachi cook experience. So sad - won’t be back - $270 for 2 adults, 3 kids and one glass of wine.

   I had ordered the meat and shrimp combo and was not pleased with the food; it lacked flavor esp. the fried rice! The meat was tough and although it was supposed to be meat and shrimp combo, they skimmed on the shrimp. This place is overrated! Sorry, I will not be back!

   Normally, I love Benihana's. We always receive a birthday coupon of $30 to defray the cost. But this year, the prices were a surprise. The price of the Samurai Treat went up from $45.90 to $50.00 and the Land and Sea meal went from $46.20 to $50.50. The chicken fried rice is now a whopping $7 per serving! And the chef who cooked our food burnt everything. The colossal shrimp was overcooked and my filet was burnt and NOT medium; who wants to pay $50 for overcooked food! The server even spilled the soup on my husband and I. He did apologize, but they should have shaved off some of the price. We won't be going back until the prices drop or they increase the amount of the birthday coupon. Very disappointing!

   Decent food, chef was very kind. Long greet time and waiter made some offensive remarks… trying to be funny. I don’t think I’ll be back.

   We had reservation but the restaurant stuffed more chairs than usual around the table so we started off with no room. The food was okay bout undercooked no performance by the chef and the waitress was so busy we didn’t see her much.

   Having not been for probably years, I was very impressed. The service was excellent! The “show” of the chef preparing our meal was wonderful! And the food was delicious and of high quality. It is clear to me how Benihana has remained the top of their class for teppan grill restaurants!
