    Had a reservation but waited over an HOUR to be seated. What is the point of having a reservation? Then when we tried to pay with a gift card we purchased this week specifically for this meal, they said that their system was not able to process the payment. We had the receipt for the gift card but they were still unable to apply it. Horrible experience all around

    Benihana is so popular at Christmas time that there's guaranteed to be a wait beyond your reservation time. In my case my reservation was for 6:15 pm but didn't get seated until 7:15 pm. Still I expected this from previous visits here at Christmas time. However, my party really enjoyed the experience and the food so no complaints.

    Our experience was not a great experience as we waited over an hour to be seated even with having reservations and checking 30 min earlier than our scheduled reservation time. Our bar tender acted as though he really didn't want to be bothered. Had it not been for Eddie the gentleman making the sushi who was very interactive with us and Jose for turning to the Lakers game we would have got up and left. We were very fortunate to have had Denise as our waitress who was very ATTENTIVE and ENGAGING and Earl our chef who as well was very ATTENTIVE and ENGAGING with so much personality.

    We had a 6:30 reservation and we weren’t seated until 7:10. The floor around the tables around us, and the restrooms were incredibly dirty. It was loud, crowded, and smoky, but I guess that’s the nature of the restaurant. The food was great and our servers and chef were attentive and friendly!

    We asked for the Teppan Communal Seating because this was the first time for some of our co-workers. Our server, Dega, was great and very attentive. Our Chef, Jacob, was entertaining and very personable. Great value for the lunch options that were available.
