- CCandidaWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI'm a regular @ Benihana Bethesda. Our server Vilma is very attentive and helpful. She is always on point. Never misses a beat. She always takes care of my family and guests. She is my go to waitress. Dol was our cook for the 1st time and I have to say he was Excellent. I've never had him before and he was AWESOME! I highly recommend both Vilma & Dol.More infoBenihana - Bethesda, MDPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Bethesda•4.1

- WWilliamWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe crab beignets were a surprise in terms of flavor and quality while the soup of the day--apple and butternut squash with a little dribble of spicy oil was very pleasing. We had the salmon with roasted brussels sprouts/mushroom/onions and the lamb bolognese--both were excellent. Service was great with good explanations of menu items, answers to our questions, and timeliness of attending to our table. It's a very casual place and the noise level was moderate though we were early diners though the place filled at dinner as we were leaving. Have already recommended to others and look forward to a return visit especially to try the chicken and waffles or the shrimp and grits.More infoBarrel & CrowPrice: Moderate• American• Bethesda•4.4
