   We arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic and were seated after about 5 minutes. Our server was on point and our chef was entertaining and incredibly talented. The food was amazing and, for the amount you got, was very much worth it. We all left with a full box of leftovers. I'd recommend this place to anyone and would definitely visit again.

   We have been regular customers for many years and things have changed over the years, the service has not been good, waited a 1/2 hr after reservation time to be seated and the atmosphere was a rush and wait. Uncomfortable seating as they are craming more people to a table (10), just not relaxing and enjoyable anymore and the prices continue to go up for the same product and worse overall! I miss the old Benihana's......

   Service was terrible. With a multi course meal, the waitress didn’t remove our plates and kept saying, “a bus boy will come by”. They didn’t. I asked her again and she said she could t, then walked away. The food was fine. But the chef verified each order before cooking and then 3/4 of our orders were wrong. This included people with dietary restrictions. We love hibachi, but the service and food just weren’t great.

   Chong, our hostess, was polite and personable. Our chef, Alex, was amazing with his precision, accuracy of the orders, and the food was cooked to perfection. We didn’t have to wait for our soup or salad. Our waiter, I’m sorry I didn’t get his name, was absolutely on point with his great timing and gave us everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. The other people with whom we sat were also very nice and also celebrating a birthday.
