Benihana seems to be the Birthday Capital of Wheeling, which is fine... adds to the ambiance of multi cultural servers singing Happy birthday in Japanese. The celebratory souvenir photos are a nice touch.\n\nThe tableside show seems to be losing its luster, I'd love to see the training manual for an onion volcano or spatula juggling. Not every chef masters it so well.\n\n***be sure to verify your order. My son got NO ENTREE at all because server misunderstood his request for fried rice...it's a little loud and there are some language barriers with the staff. Order by number would help. Our table partners also clearly didn't get what they expected because the mom packed up the entire meal. By the time you realize something is wrong it seems too late to fix it because everyone else has already been served or their food is getting cold.\n\n$7 upcharge per person for fried rice seems ridiculous.

I was there for dinner with my family a party of five. We unfortunately had to share our table with someone wearing a graphic Trump MAGA tee shirt. I didn’t realize it until we were seated. I’m shocked and disappointed a business like Benihana would allow someone wearing a potentially offensive to other customers to actually come in and dine in the restaurant. I understand not wanting to turn that customer away but why seat other customers at the same table?? First of all this is what I consider a high end restaurant. The tab is usually at least $200. But during this political climate to allow someone wearing a graphic tee shirt is unacceptable. I don’t want to share my table with someone promoting all the horrible things MAGA and Trump are promoting. It’s fine for you Benihana if you encourage this but you shouldn’t seat people wearing offensive graphic tee shirts.
