   Absolutely the worst. We had a reservation for 7:00, didn’t get seated until almost 8:00. After we were sat nobody came to our table for over 20 mins. After our orders were taken it took so long to get water that I went to the bar to ask for some. My daughter wanted to go here for a birthday dinner. I asked her several times if we could go to a different restaurant. She was insistent we stay other I would have left. At no point did anyone in the whole restaurant offer an apology or an explanation. The bathroom was disgusting. The only nice thing I can is the chef who cooked our food was very nice. I will never return to this establishment.

   I don’t know why they bother taking reservations. We still had to wait almost 1/2 hour. Then another 10min to see a waitress. It took forever. It put a big damper on our birthday celebration.

   Benihana Troy has gone down hill. Used be be a much nicer experience. First, our chef Ricardo was excellent! He was the high point of the evening. But our service person was not attentive, slow to clear, and mildly irritated when asked for a drink, utensils, etc. Food was decent, good portions. But overall, will not be rushing back.

   Our reservation was for 8:45. We didn't get to even order our food until around 9:20. Our server disappeared after delivering salads & soup. We kept our eyes out to flag down the server but we didn't even see her walking around the hibachi dinning room. She didn't show back up until the hibachi chef was almost finished. By this time we had been out of drinks for most of the meal and since soup and salad bowls weren't cleared by the server, we had to move our empty dishes to a nearby empty table. After dinner, we waited and waited for the server to return with boxes and the check. Fed up with the lack of service, one of our fellow diners got up and got everyone boxes from the side table herself. Since it was my birthday I was supposed to get ice cream and gave them sing but none of that happened Once home, both my dining companion and I had a severe bought of diahrea from the food.

   Our resso was for 545 on a Wednesday (3/12/25). We got seated and then as we already ordered (15 min later), they decided to seat another party at our table. Had to wait for them to order which was another 15 min. When ordering, we were asked what kind of rice we wanted. Waitress said “Chicken or veggies fried rice”. We (4 of us) ordered chx FR. Our chef was super slow and boring and did not “perform” and we had 2 kids at our table. It was the LONGEST hibachi cooking experience I’ve ever had. Literally didn’t get done cooking until 715. Everything was smothered in butter. Our bill came and I saw we were charged $7/each fried rice. Had the waitress said when we asked about rice options “it comes with white rice but you can up charge to fried rice”, this would have been okay and not a surprise. So we spent $28 on FRIED RICE. It was $233 for 3 adults and 1 kid. There are better and less expensive hibachi places around town that even include fried rice AND noodles. Will never come back here. You may say, “you pay for the experience” but there was none with our chef.

   Our chef was very good. His eight years of experience made it easy for him to cook and entertain the entire table at the same time.

    We had a horrible experience here. Had a reservation at 8:15pm and had to wait an hour to be seated. We were famished so we waited. Big mistake! After being seated we waited and waited and finally 15 minutes the waitress came and took our drink order. After another long wait she finally came back to take our order. We waited again for the chef to come out but it was 10:30pm so we decided to leave. In addition the restaurant was dirty. For the prices they charge I expected more since I’ve been to their other locations. Never again will I patronize that location.
