   The team took excellent care of us tonight in celebrating my sons 30th lap around the sun! While the jokes are a bit corny the laughter they generated from our group added tremendously to the bonds we’ve shared over my son’s lifetime in amplifying the joy of our occasion!! Thanks to the team at Benihana Torrance! We are now blessed to have more wonderful family memories. God bless you all!!

   Service was rushed at first and then had to wait 25 minutes to find out they were out of our wine. But he quickly replaced. Food by Saul was fantastic!!

   We used to be a customer many times before and now there’s a big difference .We like their way of seating customers. They were so confused how they seat people before. The host ,many thinks he seat those he knows first than those waiting a long time.. Better and a little bit better on their portions of servings now.But wish they don’t use too much butter on those fried rice. Overall we enjoyed back the experience. Thank you.

   We had an amazing server as well as an amazing Cook! The food was excellent! The particular chef we had this time was an amazing Chef who cooked our meal perfect!! Our server was on top of everything and when a server doesn’t let your Pepsi Cola empty or melt in ice and brings a fresh Pepsi is an amazing server as well. I couldn’t be happier with the service we received and left a hefty tip for amazing services. Thank You for the great experience, will be back more often!!

   I love going here for Birthday events... however to ight I mentioned that we were there for my sons birthday when we checked in...also showed there was a birthday collector Buda glass that we could get and they said at the torrance location they do not honor that but at rhe Santa Monica location they do. After being seated our waitress asked if there were any special occasions being celebrated... I said yes and did she need to see the birthday certificate for birthday deal.... she said nothing. I asked her again after she got our drinks...she said nothing. When I got my bill I went to hand my pho e with certificate to reduce the bill.... she said they do not honor it on Sundays. I said that was not clear... she said she juat works there. I mentioned why we were there to multiple people who work there before being seated....and no one said anything. I have been coming for special events for many years.... I am not happy that no one who worked there said anything. Food and service at the table was awesome When we sat at the bar for an Appetizer the server/bartender did not give us any napkin or utensils. People need to be trained at this location. Need to inform customers better. We would not have left...but I am not happy that people who seat you or the waitress did not mention they do not accept cert on Sundays, and was smart at me with her response that she just works here . Unacceptable response!
