   Amazing Experience! Had an incredible time at Benihana Concord. The staff was kind, the server was attentive, and the cook was both entertaining and skilled. Excellent food and service—I’ll definitely be back!

   We had a reservation for 7:30 but weren’t seated until 8:30pm. As a customer, if we’re 15 minutes late we can lose our spot, but despite checking in multiple times we waited an hour to be seated. We had a bunch of 16 yr old girls celebrating a birthday and they had a soccer game the next morning. Put a little bit of a downer on what should have been a really fun night. That said, food was great, environment is great. Ended up having a fun experience once seated!

   Benihana is so much fun and we wanted to treat the kids to a show. We thought we were ordering from the kids menu for lunch but our waitress put in the regular order. We didn’t catch it until we had to pay the bill. That was a little frustrating! I should have caught on when the chef was cooking the same amount of food for all of us. The food was good and the show as always was great. Our waitress was attentive, but I can’t help but feel like we got played!

   Benihana’s can be hit or miss depending on the chef you get. We normally get the same thing. In general, it’s a fun place for date night and allows to mingle with some strangers. The cocktails are sugary, but there is also spirits, sake and beer.

   Waiting Area Wait time was Great... Our waiter was slow with her delivery, but ii also see she may have been overwhelmed by the many requests from the other pardon so ii give this visit a C+ MY family eat at Uncle Bennie as we call it (Benihanas) every month so based on my greatest experience yesterday's dinner experience was a C grade

   I was called to make sure I be on time for my reservation they will only give me a 10min grace period so l inform my party of 8 we was there at 645 reservations time was 7 we waited 145 to be seated very!!!!!!!!! Very disappointed in Benihana for over booking and having me wait that long. This manger was not interested in hearing nobody complain 😡 by the time my food came l was no longer hungry and had a bad headache from all the commotion. It was my birthday dinner with my girlfriend and I’m very upset.

    Our reservation was at 6:30 PM and we didn’t get seated until 7:30 PM by which time our young child was very sleepy. My husband‘s drink had so much ice in it, it was gone in two sips. Not a great value.
