   It wasn’t a terrible experience, just overly crowded and noisy. Although you make reservations, be ready to wait with limited seating and a small space. I took my friend for her birthday and I was happy to see a black hibachi chef at the table next to ours. We had a female hibachi chef which was also a pleasant surprise.

   Overall, the food was good. However, the restaurant was a little dirty, including the bathrooms the floor however the service was decent. She seemed a little bit overwhelmed with a lot of tables. The food was good, but I won’t be coming back.

   It took over an hour for our food to come out to even begin the cooking process. Reservations were at 6:15, seated at 6:30 left at 7:45 because the food was taking so long. Keep in mind we had 3 kids who order white rice and chicken and two adults. So bummed!

   We come here A Lot. We had a new chef I never had. I believe the name was something similar to “Dialiago”. I had to ask for seasoning on my food he didn’t interact with the table much and forgot a few of our ingredients and we sat there waiting for sauce for awhile. I will always love Benihana and this location but not our best experience. Bartender 10/10. She was so sweet , poured a good glass, and even gave my daughter a water cup.

   The service was not all good and I go to this particular Benihana all the time.The service was so slow I had a appointment for 12:00pm and didn’t get my soups until 1:00pm the chef was so dry and boring didn’t talk to us or even repeat back our order to us like they usually do, they also forgot two of our meats and had to go back and get them. I had got my steak well done which I always get and it’s always good but this one was burnt and was like eating beef jerky.

   Food was great, a little loud because of so many big groups, service a little slow, waited 15 minutes to be seated even though we had an early reservation. An expensive night for a family outing.

    Why offer reservations if they will seat us 30 mins late. Atleast call your guest to notify so we can make arrangements
