    My family had a pleasant, memorable experience at Benihana last night! We’ve had dinner here multiple times, but last night was one of our favorites! Our chef, Zane, perfectly cooked our food at a good pace and kept us entertained with his hilarious jokes and impressive tricks. We hope to get him as our chef again the next time we dine here!
