   The chef didn’t seem to know what he was doing, cooked everything in the wrong order, didn’t do the volcano/train onion thing for my 2 year old niece. Gave us shrimp last. The rice was undercooked. The staff was too busy didn’t refill drinks, ask us if we needed anything, asked us who was paying the check but didn’t ask if we wanted desert. Will never go here for Christmas Eve again. He didn’t know that half the burners were off and how to turn them on. Gave my mom her chicken before any rice or vegetables and didn’t put on any seasoning or flavor just straight chicken.

   Food and preparation show by chef was very good. Once our order was taken we didn’t see the waitress again until after dinner. We had dirty dishes and empty bottles and cans on our table and no one ever came by to take them away. Last year they gave the kids tall Benihana hats. They stopped doing that. It’s not as much fun as it used to be. And the service is not as good as it used to be.

   The server was overwhelmed and rather incompetent. They seated us next to an Emergency Exit and air vent that were very cold and drafty. The chef was rather basic in his skill set, and the process was so slow that I literally saw other diners asleep waiting for service. Benihana is not what it used to be, but the sushi was excellent. The salmon was buttery, and the fillet steak also was tasty.

    For first-timers, sharing a table may seem strange, but after you get used to it, you may end up wtih some interesting conversation. The hibachi "show" is excellent, and the food is delicious.
