    As always, food was great! Our chef was not impressive. He wore a mask, no idea why, and had a very muffled voice. Have been dining at Benihana for years. Unfortunately, our chef was a great cook but no showmanship. Did not interact with our birthday party of 6. I would not want this chef again in the future. I was disappointed in the dining experience.

    Service and food was excellent as always. It was our first time going on a weekend so it was much more crowded than usual. We got seated an hour later than our reservations. However, we didn’t mind. We were told up front and chose to wait. We didn’t get to sit at Jojo’s table but our server was great. Our cook was excellent and made everything to perfection! This is still our favorite location!

    Chef and waitress was really good but we had to wait 1h20 min past our reservation time! No fun with 2 small kids. We love Benihana but won’t be coming back on a Saturday anytime soon.

    First of all - We absolutely love Benihanas. The food and the fun. But our Saturday night experience was terrible. And we will not be returning anytime soon. The restroom was a disaster. No public dining establishment should have overflowing trash cans, and paper all over the ground. Someone should be checking in on the bathrooms. There were 3 sweet girls at the front desk working their tails off but they needed serious help from management . The amount of people waiting on tables was completely out of control. Kids screaming. Running around. I realize Benihanas is a fun family spot but some might want to be reminded of the mayhem before you go spending hundreds on dinner. I guess Benihanas is doing ok if they are this busy and this chaotic but I don’t know why they even bother taking reservations. Go somewhere else with your money unless you like mad chaos.

    My reservation was at 7:45pm didn’t get seated till 9:00pm cooking didn’t start till 9:45. My husbands $61 dollar Wagyu Steak was horrible. This also is the second time this happened to us at this location with reservations being 20 or 30 minutes past your reservation time.

    Overbooked. We waited 45 minutes after our reservation. Waiter couldn’t get our drinks right to save his life due to noise level. Food was overpriced.

    Went at 5pm on a Friday with a big group! I was worried about parking but there was plenty at this time. The service was swift! I’ve been to other Benihanas and it’s easily taken about 2 hours to finish, but this location had us out the door in a little over an hour! Was impressed. Leaving the restaurant was when I saw parking full and large parties waiting in the lobby.
