- IIrisLos Angeles •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were there around 3 pm on Christmas day and the young lady at the front desk was warm, welcoming, and efficient. After checking in early, we only waited a short time for our table. Our server was Joseph and he was also very welcoming and efficient. He made us feel like our business was valuable. He asked numerous times if we needed anything and was prompt to bring whatever was requested. Our chef was Nmemon (spelling??) and he did an excellent job in preparing our food. We come to Benihana's frequently and will continue to do so with employees like Joseph and the front desk hostess. Thanks for an outstanding Christmas dinner.More infoBenihana - Santa Monica, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Santa Monica•4
- KKelsieLos Angeles •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoHad a great time. The waitress was more than patient with friends and I. One of them had diet restrictions and she patiently gave us time to figure out how the menu would work for her. The seating and lights where stunning and food was really good. To our surprise, we came on a day they did karaoke and had a lot of fun before heading out. We stayed much longer than we thought we would. Love the free parking. Cute little quaint area. Would definitely go back for the try all menu.More infoWabi on RosePrice: Expensive• Sushi• Venice•4.6

- LLoriVIPOrange County •12 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoWe enjoyed the experience and food. We dined with a party of 4, enjoyed a few appetizers of gyoza, miso soup, and lamp skewers. Sushi to follow that was very good. We also enjoyed the cheesecake dessert that was fun and artistic as it was surrounded with cotton candy that they lighted on fire.More infoSushi Roku - Santa MonicaPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Santa Monica•4.7
