Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Benihana - Orlando on International Drive offers "amazing food" and a lively dining experience with entertaining chefs, making it a memorable spot for celebrations. While the food consistently impresses, the restaurant struggles with "long wait times" even with reservations and "overcrowding." The ambiance and service are noted for being hit-or-miss, so patience is advised.

    Not the best experience tonight, service wasn’t the best although server was nice he seemed forgetful of simple things. Took a while to get drinks and appetizers as we watched another table seated after us chef start immediately. Food was just ok, chef didn’t interact much with table. Seemed like he was focused on cooking and getting out of there. Also, my cocktail had lipstick on sugar rim, which immediately set the tone for dinner. Not sure how long before I return back to this location. Not satisfied for the value

    I brought my family to this location on our last night of our Thanksgiving vacation to celebrate my daughters second birthday, expecting a very memorable experience from a well known establishment. What we received was a mediocre hibachi chef that did not want to be there and did bare minimum to get through the meal. We made the best of our experience before being quite rudely rushed out. Our bill came before we were through with our meal, which was not an issue until they brought out melted ice cream and then asked us to leave before the kids had a chance to eat their ice cream, all the while skipping the singing happy birthday to my daughter as was requested, and other tables had actually received. For $500 I think we could have found better food, service, and an exceptional experience. Save your money and seek out a better quality restaurant if you are looking for service and quality.
