   The food was good and plenty of it. Plan on spending a minimum of 1.5-2 hours, with times where no one is there to help or replenish drinks.

   Group of 8 had a great time! Unfortunately Benihana like many other food chains have slimmed down portion size.

   Our family of 5 had dinner here for my son's 9th birthday. It was the first time all 3 of my children have been to Benihana and it was a memorable experience! Our chef, Lamar, made sure to recognize my son's birthday & made him feel special throughout the meal. Our server, Lilly, was very attentive and took good care of us. We will be back!

   When we arrived at our table, and grill was covered in gross food and items from the previous customers. They said they would clean and it took quite a while, and was not cleaned well. Then the grill did not heat up, so we had to wait a while. It was not clean or a great experience as it has been in the past.

   We always enjoy celebrating birthdays at Benhania, and this occasion was no different! Our waitress, Ann, and the chef, Aaron, were fantastic and truly made the day special for my son. He had such a wonderful time celebrating both his dad's and grandma's birthdays that he rated it a perfect 10 out of 10! Thank you for helping us create another beautiful memory.

    Food was good but it was very disappointing to see the bill I get that it’s an experience but it’s a 20% fee on top of a tip and on top of overpriced food it’s just outrageous
