   Our experience tonight was amazing! We stopped coming here due to the terrible customer service and wait times in the past. Tonight we had Haylee as our waitress and she was so sweet and efficient. Haylee is the reason we will come back again!

   Food was good, the service was okay, and overall I would say it’s overpriced. However, if you’re looking for somewhere to eat that’s a little more upscale, this is your place.

   I brought my grandma for her birthday the food was good and service was ok but they didn’t sing her happy birthday like they usually would and skipped giving us our ice cream at the end, that was the main reason I chose to take her. I’ve been to a lot of different locations in different cities and this one was definitely the most underwhelming

   Service and food were excellent! Arrived with party of 7 and was seated immediately. Server was quick and accommodated our requests and chef did a great job keeping us fed and entertained. I didn’t like the fact you now have to pay extra for fried rice given the stiff costs to eat in the first place.

   Food was good. Portions were small. The cook and waitress were great and so nice. Had to ask for everything. They no longer give you the green tea. You have to ask for it. Also had to ask for the ice cream for the birthday boy.

   It was good. Certainly a big downgrade from how it used to be. I don’t understand how they charge so much for a pretty basic meal. For a family of 5 and spending over $300 on one meal, I expect the atmosphere, service and experience to match. It did not. It used to feel authentic and it’s heading in the opposite direction.

    It was my children's first time at Benihana and they enjoyed themselves thoroughly. There are a few parts of the cooking and dinner show that were not the same as they had been, but altogether a wonderful family experience.
