   Yes! This Benihana finally pulled it together. Seems they have new management, new staff - best service we’ve had there in 30 years. Food was delicious and chef was great.

   We love Benihana and your food usually taste so amazing! Unfortunately this time, our chef wasn’t that lively and he doesn’t look like in the mood. He barely talked to us, barely did any tricks which was sad because it’s our friend’s first time and we were so excited to show him what Benihana offers. Our chicken was overcooked and our rice portion was surprisingly less than the other tables maybe because some ordered extra rice and he didn’t portioned it well.

   Food was really great but it was really noisy and hard to converse.
