   Awful service! Table across from us seated 10 minutes after us, got soup salad & chef more than 10 minutes before us. Left 45 minutes to an hour before us. Reservations at 6:30. Left restaurant at 9:17. Took server more than 40 minutes to check us out. Our party of 5 & another party of 3. They were still sitting when we just threw enough money down to cover & leave a small tip. More than 3 hours for dinner. Unacceptable. No manager cares- they saw us sitting there for more than 30 minutes. Avoided eye contact with our table & never spoke with us or helped our server out. Drink refills only once. Never got actual paper receipt. That was the worst service/meal ever & by the way the restrooms were deplorable. Paper towels all over floor, trash full. Those managers should absolutely be fired!!! Spoke with host stand upon leaving cause they couldn’t find manager. Another waitress said she saw it all & served that table across from us & couldn’t believe we sat that long. Horrible. Absolutely horrible

   We were seated 45 mins past our reservation time. The waitress gave terrible service and was ridiculously slow. Even when it was time to pay our tabs she kept leaving her machine at the table and walking away. Only thing that was good was the chef. No way we should’ve been at this place for 3 hrs. And I inhaled so much smoke I had an asthma attack. Ive been to most Benihanas is Dallas Tx and this one has the worst ventilation ever Yea I won’t be going back

   Waited almost three hours for our food. Tables could be reserved but the restaurant clearly did not staff enough hibachi chefs. The chef at our table was great and so was our waitress. However the check was over $200. I would not return.

   I have been a loyal customer of this location for years, frequently dining here and supporting the establishment. Recently, I made dinner reservations for my leadership team and also ordered a meal to-go due to my long work hours. Unfortunately, the to-go meal was not properly cooled throughout, which was incredibly disappointing. Given the consistent support I’ve shown to this location, I can't help but feel frustrated by this experience.

   Benihana needs better birthday coupon. The coupon should be for any meal time. Just add a lunch coupon and a dinner coupon. Different birthday discount for lunch and dinner. Other than the coupon discrepancy, everything was great.

   We were told to pay for the other group at our table who had double the amount as than our check. During the entire night we never even got our waters refilled. It was a birthday meal for us and we had the certificate for $30 off the we get each year. The other couple left and we stayed for the birthday song and desert. Eventually the waitress came up to us and she said something was wrong with the check and the other group that left paid $80 and we could pay $85, or just the $80. That amount surprised us, since the 2 of us split an adult meal Habichi Chicken Rice of about $32 and my child had a kids meal of $22. We also ordered fried rice with was $8. No drinks just water. So total $62 plus tax would be around $70. Once the $30 birthday certifiable is subtracted it would be around $40. So being asked to pay $80 and an extra $5 so we can be the same as the other group made no sense. The waitress said she would talk to the manager, which then I thought would fix it. The manager produced a receipt with the other people’s charges on it and wanted us to pay for it. We said that was not our check and we were not going to pay for it. She responded by saying it was already ticketed and can not be changed. We said just make a ticket of our food. She said she could not. We repeated that we are not paying for other people food. We also asked what about the $30,she said it was already on the other people’s charge, and we said that was ours and we are not going to pay for it. During this time the manager keep telling us she was going discount it to be $80. Which made no sense at first, but I realized that the total table was about was $195 so they were trying to get us to pay for half. Apparently they gave the other couple our check and they wanted us to pay amount which was $120, but then they were discounting it. Eventually they gave us the check and discounted it to $40

    I had dinner with my mother yesterday and we chose to sit at the bar booths. My biggest feedback was our service provided by our Server. - The wine didn’t make it to the table until our entrées were already served to us and that was my 2nd time asking about it. The first time our appetizers had come out and we had a misunderstanding about a “Carafe” vs Glass of wine. So instead I ordered a bottle of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay! The biggest complaint was when she brought it to us she Literally placed the bottle in the middle of the table with two glass and walked away and it wasn’t even chilled. “ I spent $160 for a meal last night for two and try e service didn’t match the price at all.
