I haven’t been to Benihana in many years and it exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were excellent and the table experience was enjoyable. Plus very attentive service from the bar to the wait staff to our table cook. I recommend Benihana over Ron of Japan.

We went on the first Saturday they were opened. Zack, the owner, was very nice and told us it was a soft opening and there may be a hiccup or two. The atmosphere is fresh and inviting. The food was outstanding. The Samsa appetizer was yummy. I had the lamb kabobs which were tender and tasty. My wife' salmon, which presented under a hot steamed dome, was buttery and delicious. The service was exceptionally slow and the staff were apologetic. Understandably, they are still working out timing. I had my dinner served and eaten before my wife was served her salmon - about a 30 minute difference. We were given gratis a couple slices of a coconut and pistachio cake desert, which tasted great.
