    We always love our dining experience at Benihana’s. The food and the staff are amazing! The staff are very attentive and friendly. It’s nice thar my wife and I are recognized by the staff - we do go often. We look forward to our next dining experience. Can’t recommend the wagyu steak enough. It’s definitely an an experience everyone should try at least once. It’s steak on a whole other level.

    Surprised, but LOVED that all wine bottles were 1/2 price on a Friday night! Food was delicious (I had and would recommend lobster ravioli) and our server Maryna was very friendly and very attentive - didn’t have to wait for or want anything! Brought tasty little chocolate cake pieces with candles for our two hubby’s birthdays 👍🏻
