We had an excellent meal last night! Our server Neyaeh was great. She helped answer questions, was very polite, and made sure we had everything we requested. Our chef Rezha was by far the best Benihana we have ever had. We have eaten at many Benihana restaurants, but this was our best tasting meal ever. The steak, chicken, shrimp, and scallops were all cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of seasoning. We didn't even need to use nay sauces because the food tasted so good without it!
