    We had to wave down a busboy to clean off the table. We ordered the Taste of Benihana. I got my appetizer (rainbow roll) way before the 2nd appetizer (shrimp tempura). We both ordered the steak entree, but it came without the mushrooms, so we had to ask the server for it. The temperature of the food was not hot, lukewarm at best. Server was very accommodating.

    Hi Clara, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Benihana - Newport Beach, CA.

We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better dining experience. Best regards, Benihana - Newport Beach, CA Management Team
