It was my first time there and when I asked about the menu the waitress said that there was an up charge to every thing and they had steamed rice at the hibachi table which I had never heard of . All in all It was not a good experience

It was nothing like it used to be to be. I had to ask for everything. They didn’t serve the avocado tartar sauce with the salmon. They put the hot sauce on the rice instead of the chicken. I was very disappointed. If I didn’t have a gift card balance I wouldn’t go back. I am going to miss the old experience.

Our visit to Benihana was definitely not what we were expecting. Gone were decently dressed patrons & the lively atmosphere where professionally trained hibachi chefs put on an exciting show. Our bill was rather high, over $200 with 3 guests & no alcohol. Which would have been fine if the experience had been worth it. Sorry to say it wasn’t a great experience.

This location continues to get worse and worse. The chefs are terrible (I miss Tony). I’ve tied to give them a chance because I truly love Benihana, but I can’t keep justifying or turning a blind eye to the terrible food. I wish they would hire some real chefs. I’m so disappointed and will likely not go back again. Overcooked rice. Yakisoba Noodles were literally grilled (hard and dry). Just a bad overall experience. Waited forever for drink refills. I can’t keep giving them my money (we all know it can be pricey) with subpar service in return.

First off the workers do work very hard and they are super nice but there just isn’t enough workers here. Portions are very small for the price and something was off with the yum yum sauce as well with the salad and dressing. I did not feel comfortable eating the salad or yum yum. I don’t think I will return when in town

The food was not like it used to be! Everything has changed and they have not been able to pull themselves back up from COVID! Although the employees were nice, the prices, the food quality, and all around service has changed! I will only go when they send the birthday certificate. Other than that, I won’t be returning!
