    We were so excited to introduce our kids to the fun and excitement of Benihana. What a disappointment. Chef barely engaged with us and service was very slow (did not receive water refill until after meal was over, multiple empty glasses waiting to be cleared). We won’t be returning.

    Meal and chef were great. But when we received the check it was altogether. We were two parties/two families and needed the check split. They balked at us for asking, and flat out refused to do it. So we paid 2 cc’s right down the middle. We’re not able to split by meal. I have never encountered this!!! Especially at a meal like this where more often than not there’s multiple parties at one seating.

    I made reservations for 11:00PM through open table. When we were sat the waiter told us hurry up because the kitchen was closing. Some items on the menu were not available. I was rushed. There were chemicals from them cleaning contaminated my food. The cook asked for a tip when he was done. That was irking! Because I was going to tip anyway but asking is weird.

    Particolare , spettacolo dello chef che ti cucina davanti al tuo posto. Tavolo in condivisione con altri se sei un gruppo meno di 8 persone . Attesa troppo lunga visto la prenotazione (45 minuti)
