    The food and experience was nice. I would have loved a little more rice and to have the rice and proteins(chicken, shrimp, and steak) together. Alcoholic beverages were phenomenal

    It was fun but seems to be a place to come to celebrate something other than just have dinner (which is what we were doing). It was more expensive than we thought for what you ultimately get food-wise, but it’s the show and all the staff you’re paying for, which is fine. What food we did get was good, weird 3 of us were done with our chicken/seafood combinations before they even started the steak two people chose. Odd to eat while others in your party are waiting for their food cook in front of you. I’d give it 7/10.

    Disappointing! Haven’t been there in years. Thought we would try it again as they were part of restaurant week. Server seemed a bit upset that we didn’t order cocktails and we wanted the restaurant week menu. The chef was boring. Not much of a show. Food was bland and uninspired, except for the soup. The soup was very tasty. They use way too much butter also. Kept lopping it on! Will not return. Many other places are much better!

    The only reason I marked the value as a 3 is because it is very expensive. It's great, but very expensive. Other than that, it's always amazing! Great food! The chefs are great! The servers are very attentive! I just wish it was more affordable!!

    We came on a quiet Thursday afternoon. Service was perfect and available. Our cook displayed a great spatula baton show before cooking a perfect meal for us. The all inclusive meal we chose started with a light broth soup, a dish of grill prepared fried rice and vegetables, and then our choice of two items ( we both chose scallops and steak), followed by hot tea. We sat leasurly and chatted for about half an hour. Wonderful afternoon!

    Great atmosphere and fun! I hadn’t been to a Benihana in a long time and we were in the area so took the opportunity to revisit. Food was tasty! Our chef was quieter but very attentive. We’d definitely come back with friends and try other items.

    Very cold inside, most guests keep their jackets on, food was good except the chicken that was very dry. Nice and friendly staff and sweet pic of my family at the end printed for us very nice.
