   $21 for six super-mini bites of “wagu” steak, shrimp was tough and “meh,” but Benihana sure doesn’t skimp on rice…tons and tons of cheap ol’ rice…husband ordered a (single shot) rum and Diet Coke, which was $15.50.

   Chef was brand new. He was very young. He may be an excellent chef some day, but he was not very good.

   The service and food was great. Our Chef Tan did well, very accommodating to needs of the table (people had food allergies), our waiter Ryan was very friendly and the manager Hector was nice to check in and take our pictures.

   Hibachi table was not turned on prior to us sitting down. It took approximately 25 minutes to heat up to 400 degrees. Waiter spill a whole bowl of corn all over my lap and floor, chef cooked my lobster tail with everyone’s else’s food , seafood should be the last thing cooked if others are allergic . from sitting down till we got our food on our plates was almost 3 hours long. My group asked for white rice, they brought chicken fried rice ($7) up charge per person. Over all not a good service for 2 peoples birthdays.

   Dear Brad, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your visit, especially on such a special occasion. Celebrating birthdays should be enjoyable and stress-free, and it's clear we fell short of that expectation. Those do not reflect the service or standards we aim to uphold, and we understand how frustrating this must have been, especially with the extended wait time. Your concerns about the compensation offered are valid, and we will be reviewing this situation with our team to ensure we learn from it and take steps to prevent similar experiences in the future. Sincerely, The Management Team

   Food was excellent. Friday night and it was packed. Got a bit loud with so many kids. Staff seemed to be really good at serving and entertaining them. Our service was good but a little slow.

    The service is abysmal. They don’t have enough staff to help with the tables or cook the food. The Benihana magical experience is on life-support at this location. As far as value goes at Benihana, it’s become incredibly expensive just to take your family there for dinner. Not loving it anymore.
