Great experience, the ambiance was lovely. The bartenders are super invested in the experience and drinks they make. We had four cocktails altogether and they are all delicious (more spirit forward: The Nutorious and Hibiki Old Fashioned. Other cocktails: Astro Boy and Drunken Tiger). We also had the edamame which was literally the best edamame we've both ever had. It was roasted and had a delicious lemon and chile taste. I loved their music too, they played old hip hop and rap that was super vibey.

The place was packed (Saturday night), but we were seated promptly and experienced excellent service. Darren did a great job as our Teppanyaki chef. This Benihana is located within a large mall with many interesting nearby places, such as Handel's homemade ice cream.

The vent at the tepan table we were on wasn’t working so all the smoke was in our face. Other than that the cook was awesome and food was good.
