   Restaurant was overbooked our party was moved to a different seating area with a huge cold draft. We waited 45 minutes to sit down and. Didn’t want the higher priced menu and were told we had to sit in the restaurant not be lounge. The lounge had a price fixe menu. So sorry for wasting my Saturday evening This was a birthday party and was a huge disappointment we walked out

   Our reservation was for 630 and we weren’t seated until 715 pm. The food was very good but not plentiful like other hibachi restaurants we’ve been to, so the value wasn’t as high as we would have liked. The waiter and the man who cooked at the table were very nice and entertaining. Overall, not sure we would return soon.

   It was very crowded and extremely loud. We had 7:30 reservations and they sat us 45mins later. Just chaotic. And if your kiddos have any sensory issues, this is not the place to go. Now, the food was great and once we were seated, the service was good. The kids all loved the hibachi show, but you could tell the staff was overwhelmed.

   Going to Benihana is always a good time for us. The service was great. The chef was quite entertaining. I would’ve liked it if our food was more cared for…there were pieces of meat and veggies being lost to the floor and table. All in all I say it’s a 8.5/10 only because I’ve been eating there for over 30 years.

   We had a younger and inexperienced hibachi chef who only knew a few tricks and used far too much butter. It was still an enjoyable experience, but for the cost, we'd hope for a little more. I also felt like they were trying to push us out the door because it was busy. They brought us to-go containers while I was still eating and the check before dessert even arrived.

   Always a good time & good food! Chef had a heavy hand with the salt/pepper but otherwise a great birthday experience.

    Food was mediocre. I have had better hibachi for a better price elsewhere. Waitress and cook were nice and pleasant but got our order wrong multiple times.
