Best Japanese Restaurants in Santee

I loved the experience! I took my beautiful girlfriend there for our anniversary/Valentines Day and they were kind enough to write a little message on our dessert as per request. The food came out surprisingly faster than most restaurants. We got our food within 10-15 minutes when I excepted about 20-35 minutes with the amount of people there. I loved the vibe and will definitely come back again 🙌🏼

Waitress Erin and Chef Jesse are a dynamic duo who made our dinner experience at Benihana the best we’ve ever had! Erin was so attentive to us all, even on one of the busiest days of the year, Valentine's Day. Chef Jesse was a great entertainer, and his food was delicious! This was the first time my kiddo had no leftovers. We had the best time ever, and the food was terrific! Thank you, Erin and Jesse; you guys are the best!

Omgwtf WOWOWOWWOWOOOWW what amazing food, amazing staff, super clean shittable bathrooms, all around YES

Outstanding food. We really liked the appetizer plate, 4 different appetizers, portioned so that a party of three each had a bit of each of the 4. I was a bit disappointed with the service this time. Our server was pleasant and knew his stuff, but he depends too much on his support staff to maintain the table. I had to flag him down for water and empty plates stayed on the table way too long.

Always a good choice to hit Banbu with my wife and daughter. Good food, friendly service and very knowledgeable wait staff. It’s also always clean and warm on the patio, really a little oasis.
