The food was good as is fairly standard for Benihana, although it certainly seemed like you get less of it. There is now an upcharge for fried rice, that’s right, the rice cooked right front of you, you have to pay extra for that. On top of very inflated pricing across the board. It will probably be a long time before I return.

Our chef last night was absolutely wonderful, but our waitress was awful. I just submitted another review a few months back for the same issue and I’m pretty sure it’s the same waitress. She disappears, doesn’t clear dishes, doesn’t refill drinks, constantly have to ask someone walking by when we need something. When just beginning to eat, she’s pushing boxes and ice cream on us. Highly disappointed in our waitress service the last 2 times there.

Dear Beth, your wonderful review made our chefs day! Thank you for choosing us and for taking the time to share your positive experience. We will continue to work with the service team to make whole experience amazing.

The service and experience was awful. We had reservations for 6:30. We were sat around 6:40 and it took 1.5 hours from that time before the chef came out to start cooking. The griddle was dirty when we were sat. The waitress had to be asked multiple times for things such as drinks and silverware. It was ridiculously overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. When they brought the check they had charged us for another parties drinks. Definitely will not be back!! We paid less for a hibachi dinner at Teppan Edo in DisneyWorld.

There was only one server for the whole restaurant. We were up charged for chicken fried rice despite asking for regular. The bathroom was leaking water into the restaurant. Not great probably won’t be back.

It has gone downhill over the years. The food is mediocre at best. They charge $7.50 per person for fried rice. I know that I always have the choice not to buy. The only reason I go there is cause it was my son's birthday. I could've bought two whole Prime fillets and all the fixings and still been ahead of the game

We're sorry to learn that your visit wasn't what you had hoped for, Tim. At Benihana, we aim to create memorable experiences for every guest. We hope you will give us another chance in the future.
