   Andrew by far the best chef at Benihana- his conversation, service and speed, accurate on food prep was outstanding.. it made our dinner and experience truly to remember. We have been coming to this location for 5 yrs and he’s the best ever

   Not enough cooks- had to wait a longer period of time. Waitress was so so - customer service was marginal. Table was dirty and grill was in poor condition, needing repair. And too many people at table.

   I've been to Benihana a few times over the years and I'm sorry to say I won't be going back. Besides the food, the experience is a big draw. However, in both cases, they aren't what they used to be. Some of the food was rather bland (while some of it was very good) and the "show" quality of the chef was lacking. That by itself isn't a deal breaker but for the amount they charge, its a no-go. Over priced, minimal presentation and interaction, and bland food. I'm sorry to say, it was the last time they get my business.

   My son’s graduation started off with our reservation being an hour and a half late to be seated. the food was mediocre because the chef seemed to be rushed, the servers were good, the restaurant was dirty, and the bathroom had no toilet paper. I will never return to this Benihana‘s The chef cross contaminated shrimp and scallops so they had to redo my guest’s order. My guess was allergic to shellfish.

    Was first seated by windows. Very hot. Shade was broken and did not come down. Waiter was gone for very long periods of time without checking on table. Had empty drinks all around at the table and other couple had to ask for rice rice and Appetizer. Had to ask multiple times for same things. Was told out of mushrooms, camera not working for bday picture and was told there were only small to go boxes. When pointed out the other table has large ones he went to the other table and gave to us.

    This was my first time ever at Benihana and it was absolutely fantastic!! The food was amazing! I am gluten-free, and the server and cook were so accommodating and understanding! It’s the first time in 8 years that I felt confident at a restaurant to order what I liked and know it was handled with care! Thank you so much!! I will definitely be back!!

    I got the WORST vodka Collins in the bar. The bartender obviously had no idea what it was. Should have asked for another drink, instead just left it after one sip. The food was wonderful, and well prepared. Our chef, Christian was very outgoing and entertaining. My only suggestion for him is to cut the filet a bit smaller. Just a single bite. With no knife, it was tricky to eat.

    Our cook was terrible, he burned food and on top of that the colossal shrimp was a bit undercooked. to see the show we had to watch the table next to us to get the experience, our cook dropped his spatula and knocked over the rice bowls and the show stopped after that.. he just focused on burning my rice😭to add to the bs they mixed up checks and I had to wait for 3 different checks to get the charges right.. I didn't complain but was very very disappointed.. this was a mother's day gift for my wife from me and the kids and it turned out terrible..

    Slow service. Cook seemed like he was in a hurry. Maybe it’s just this location. They sat us facing the sun and when I asked if they could pull the blind down, they said it was broken. I put my sunglasses on inside the restaurant. Had to find someone twice to fill our drinks. Just wasn’t a good experience. Food was ok.

    Take out "chicken fried rice" was rice, butter, and soy sauce with a small piece of egg. They do not prepare on the table to avoid it being complete or transparent. Rice seemed old, I witnessed them scoops it out of existing rice cooker at another location. Food qualify has really gone down in last 1-2 years and take out is a different standard than table top. It was so bad I wrote directly to the Benihana comment line.

    Our Service was great but, our Chef Aaron needs to hone his skills a little more. He started off great and has a great attitude but can use a little guidance on making sure he has all the ingredients/vegetables to prepare at the appropriate time. For example none of the shrimp were cut to smaller pieces before he served them to the guests and he did not have the mushrooms with the other veggies and cooked them last after the meals were complete. I do not recall our waitress' name but she was fantastic and highly attentive to the needs of all tables she assisted. Still a good experience and not overcrowded as reservations are required. His
