   Nasty, unsanitary plates with stained sliver wear and plates. Rude waiters didn’t even apologize for the dirty dishes. Incredibly overrated place. First and last time going to a Benihanas. Very dirty environment. Avoid wasting your money your money here. Not worth it

   Had a 6 pm reservation. Arrived 10 minute prior to the reservation. We were very confused when we were told that the wait would be 30 to 45 minutes. We waited until 6:35 before we made the decision not to eat here. Would not recommend dining here. Poor customer service.

   Waiting half hour after our reservation to be seated, but not a big deal. The entranceway was heated and comfortable. It was a busy night in the restaurant. Waitress was great with drink refills. Food was tasty. I would recommend a different dressing for the salad. Overall fun night with an entertaining chef

   Once we were seated, it was fabulous. However, it was way overbooked and we were not seated until about 45 minutes after our reservation. The experience once seated was fun and all servers and chefs were very friendly.

   Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time and the food was great as always. Only drawback was today’s fried rice was a little dried out, but nothing a little extra soy sauce couldn’t fix. Can’t wait to come back!
