    Took my daughter for her 10th birthday dinner celebration. They were very accommodating with adjusting my reservations, as we needed more time to gather everyone. Upon arrival, the employees we encountered were super nice. Our cook was not very engaging. It, for sure, was not the same experience I have had previously at Benihana while in Texas. The selection of vegetables presented were only two. My daughter and her friends ordered the white noodles, which were not cooked in front of us. They were brought out on plates and given to my daughter and her friends. The noodles were cold. In addition, the food was poorly seasoned. Lastly, we were presented with the bill and no one ever came to sing happy birthday to my daughter until prompted. After such poor service and unpleasant food, at least my daughter could’ve gotten a happy birthday without asking, considering she cancer in with “It’s my 10th birthday sash and crown on”🤣🤣. Maybe they didn’t realize it was her birthday. I’m part way to please. But this experience was not what I would’ve have expected.

    It was very slow we were in a month ago with no issue and it didn’t even feel like the same establishment. Will not be returning most likely when asking the manager what the issue was he told us we had one of his “slower servers” and that was all.

    Our server, Tiaira, was terrible. She rushed us to order & then got our order confused after asking twice. We had 2 children & their hibachi food was last to be served which doesn’t make sense to make kids wait & the adults were nearly done. It was extremely loud tonight & we couldn’t even hear our family talk to each other. The ladies bathroom was a disaster. All in all not our best experience for $350.

    Food was great. Service was great. The exhaust fans need maintenance to minimize the grease smell that permeates everything.

    Restaurant is showing its age and could use a deep cleaning. Food took too long as was told they were backed up in the kitchen. Server was distracted and seldom available Chef was entertaining and food was good.

    The server never brought the wine we ordered. Had to ask for it near the end of the dinner. The server never brought the rice bowls. One in our party ordered the chicken fried rice dinner and only got the bowl portion. The chef was super boring and did not entertain at all. One in our party had a shellfish allergy and they said the chef would give the shrimp appetizer portion to another in the party and he didnt do that. Overall for near $175 it was a poor experience. The food was really good though. I guess that is some solace.
    Benihana - Indianapolis, INResponded on March 10, 2025
    Dear Guest! Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the service issues during your visit.

We truly appreciate your kind words about the food, but we want every part of your experience to be enjoyable. Your feedback will be shared with our team to improve our service. If you're open to it, we'd love the opportunity to make things right—please reach out to us directly. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience. Best regards, The Management Team

    Service was slow but friendly. Staff was shorthanded. Prices have increased grossly since my last visit. It has gotten to the tipping point whether the food & experience is worth the cost.

    Hasn’t change since the last time. Service still sucks. Seems as if they’re still under staffed. Can’t even get a refill on a drink without flagging someone down. Food is good but the service makes the place not worthy
