Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Benihana in Minneapolis offers a lively dining experience with entertaining chefs and "great food" for special occasions. However, some patrons noted inconsistency in service and high prices. The atmosphere is festive, ideal for birthdays and anniversaries, but be prepared for a "mandatory 20% service charge" and occasional wait times.

    Seated 40 minutes after reservation time despite being on time. Our area was down a server, our server was doing her best but was very harried and stressed. Chef was great. Just so many people packed in there and rushed through experience - seemed way overbooked.

    Service was very slow. Cook did not do all the extras. First time for my young son’s birthday . He said he like it. The food was small portions and not worth the value.

    Made reservations for a Thursday night dinner. I walked in and stood at the hostess desk for about a minute while the hostess continued to talk to the sushi chef. After being acknowledged, the interaction was short and dry. I started to reconsider my decision for dinner. After being seated in the bar area (where I reserved because it’s usually quick service) we were brought water (that we asked for) and waited almost 45 minutes for two entrees. I requested medium well steak and received well done tough steak. No fuss was made as we had already waited 45 minutes. I started going to the Minneapolis location on Louisiana Avenue after being disappointed by the MOA location but this location is going down the same road.

    We have not been to Benihana for years and are sorry about it. This meal far surpassed our expectations. This was the restaurant week selection. We had so much food and it all was so tasty. So much that we took home leftovers to have an additional meal. Danielle who served our table was super as was Julia the bartender.

    Very disappointed this time around. Received my 1st drink and server never came back until chef was done. She looked very unhappy to be there. Ordered rocks choice - steak was big, chicken only got 5 pieces were the lady next to me got 16. Paid a lot of money for such poor service and not all of my order. Chef did a great job cooking!

    Went at an off peak time. Quiet. The cook Christian was amazing. He was nice, personable. He made sure to cook each item appropriately. The best cooked food I have ever experienced at this restaurant. Please give this cook a raise. If I had food cook this way I would return more often.
