The hibachi experience is definitely entertaining and the food quality is good. However, for the portion sizes, it feels quite expensive. The chef was friendly and skilled with the knife tricks.

Food was good quality and the chef was entertaining, though not as engaging as some others we've had at different locations. The wait staff could have been more attentive - had to ask multiple times for drink refills. Overall okay but room for improvement.
Our server was incredibly attentive and the chef made the experience memorable with great jokes and impressive cooking skills. The lobster tail was buttery and delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. Definitely worth the splurge for special occasions.
Exactly what you'd expect from Benihana. Solid food, good entertainment, and reliable service. The filet mignon was tender and the fried rice hit the spot. Nothing groundbreaking but consistently good.
The hibachi salmon was cooked perfectly and the soup was delicious. The chef was entertaining but it got quite loud with multiple tables going at once. Great for groups but maybe not ideal for intimate dinners.
The hibachi show is definitely entertaining and the chefs are skilled performers. However, the food quality doesn't quite match the premium pricing. The vegetables were fresh and the rice was good, but the meat was just average. Good for the experience, but there are better value options for Japanese food elsewhere.
Expected much more based on the reputation. The chef seemed rushed and didn't do many of the tricks we've heard about. Food was okay but nothing special, and for the price point, I expected better quality. The atmosphere was nice though.
Brought my teenage daughter here for her birthday and it was perfect. The chef sang happy birthday and did special tricks just for her. The chicken and shrimp combination was delicious and cooked exactly right. The whole table was laughing and having a great time.
Had an amazing time at Benihana for my birthday celebration. The chef was incredibly skilled and entertaining, making the whole dining experience feel like a show. The hibachi shrimp and steak were cooked to perfection, and the fried rice was flavorful. Only downside was the wait time even with a reservation, but the entertainment made up for it.
Took my family here for our anniversary and we all loved it. The chef was hilarious and kept the kids engaged throughout the meal. The chicken teriyaki was tender and the vegetables were fresh. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Will definitely be back for future celebrations.
