    I’ve eaten here dozens of times. Normally it’s adequate service typically slow but nothing terrible. But this last time they were slammed and the service was about as horrendous as it could be. I had a 7 pm reservation and I didn’t leave the restaurant until 10:45 pm, which is totally unacceptable for habachi service for a child’s birthday. Took forever to get service and food. Drinks were rarely if ever refilled. And the chef messed up our orders (most egregious was he accidentally gave away my kid’s portion of shrimp to another guest and then tried to claim he didn’t and they had to bring more food to solve it. If I wasn’t someone who has eaten here literally dozens of times I wouldn’t have been able to get that sorted out). That was just the tip of the iceberg, and while I generally enjoy the food and ambience I post this so management knows so they can fix because I sincerely doubt I’m ever going to go back to this location again.

    The service was horrible I have a video of the cook trying to do the tricks but dropped the utensils .. Had a bug in my cousins drink
    Benihana - Coral Gables, FLResponded 5 days ago
    Dear Courtney, I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience. It’s completely understandable how frustrating and disappointing it must have been to encounter both dropped utensils during the chef’s performance and a bug in your cousin’s drink. This is definitely not the experience anyone should have, especially when dining out. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

    Just 1 stars all around. I never even got to experience eating the food. Me and my girlfriend had a reservation for 6 PM. We walked in on time & were standing in the front for almost 30 minutes before being greeted. When we finally got seated, it took longer than 15 minutes to get greeted, so we went back to the entrance to try to get a booth by the bar. Guess what. We had to wait another 20 minutes before someone other than the host sat us. Then it gets better, we had to wait another 20 minutes before someone came to our table. Literally, by the time she came to introduce herself, my girlfriend was already upset and wanted to leave. We had a whole day planned and dinner couldn’t even go right. I’ve been to a couple of Benihana’s & this is by far the worst one EVER! There’s no excuse the service is so bad & without an apology. Don’t waste your time here please

    As soon as we walked in Judi Chambers was very nice and extremely welcoming! I am in a walking boot and she went and got me a chair to sit on while we waited for our table. Our Chef Julio was absolutely amazing and our waitress (I forgot her name) was really nice and helpful. Dinner was great!!!

    Last night dinner was increible. The server was very attentive and courtous. The cooker was amazing. I had a bad expirience at Beninhana last year and didnt want to go back BUT my friend wanted to go and believe me was worth it. BUT the prices had gone up. I used to order the Ocean Delights for $38 and now is $52.00.
