   Last two times there, they have not had enough hibachi chefs and it was over 30-40 minute wait between soup/salad and food starting to be prepared. Unacceptable and no offer of a comp to make up for it. Price of food requires better service.

   Our server and chef were good but the hibachi experience was lacking. The price was outrageous for the experience we received. Our bill was a bill for a 5 star steakhouse. If we would have had the entertainment you normally receive at hibachi I could see but nothing was extraordinary.

   5 people for Xmas lunch. 3 meals cooked at table. 2 meals cooked “in back kitchen” were not brought out until 45 minutes after the 3 meals were already finished. Were told only 1 chef “in back”. So bad they removed 1 meal from check. When leaving another customer was complaining about a similar situation. This place has gone steadily downhill over the years. Too bad.

   This location has truly gone down. I had to get up 4 times to get service. Our food took over 1.5hrs and no one said a thing to us. The soup was cold and when telling the waiter she said “I know. When our entree finally came after I threatened to leave. It was okay. We will not return. This experience turned us off to all hibachi in the future.

   Chef Dan was amazing! He made sure to make it a special show for my kiddos first Hibachi experience. The food was delicious and plentiful.

   Sat for an hour before getting even our appetizers. Food was great but we only got onions, not all “hibachi vegetables”. Was not crazy busy but service was slow and got some orders wrong. Hoping it was a one off slow service night

   Our chef, Jun, was great. He had great jokes and even better chef skills! He's a rockstar. Cherry Hill location.

   In all of my years (decades) of going to this Benihana, it never occurred to me to eat in the lounge. My son and I did just that and it saved us time. The server was terrific and the courses came out quickly--perfect timing.
