   It took us an hour for the chef to show up. They also took our order wrong. We didn’t get rice until we were 1:30 into the meal. I don’t expect a high level of service from Benihana, but this was ridiculous.

   The Benihana experience just isnt the same anymore. The food doesnt taste the same and prices are ridiculous. Not impressed with spending my birthday here anymore

   Our chef was amazing. Waited 45 mins just to get our reserved table. Dinner took 3 hours.

   They are over booking. It took over an hour for our chef to arrive. Everything else was great.

   We arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic and were seated after about 5 minutes. Our server was on point and our chef was entertaining and incredibly talented. The food was amazing and, for the amount you got, was very much worth it. We all left with a full box of leftovers. I'd recommend this place to anyone and would definitely visit again.

    We have been regular customers for many years and things have changed over the years, the service has not been good, waited a 1/2 hr after reservation time to be seated and the atmosphere was a rush and wait. Uncomfortable seating as they are craming more people to a table (10), just not relaxing and enjoyable anymore and the prices continue to go up for the same product and worse overall! I miss the old Benihana's......
