This was fun. Haven't been in a long time since I'm not from the area. The food was really still pretty good! The server was great, and the cook was very nice and thoughtful! We did enjoy ourselves! Our cook did a great job and caught all of his shrimp tails and eggs lol. The train was so cute! For us, I think they need a refresh. I feel like it's the same show forever. It is not the cooks' fault by any means, but the company should invest in cool new tricks or entertainment. Maybe every 6 months or year, come up with something new. I remember back in the day, the show was more elaborate and fun. The decor could also use an update. Also, we were under the air vent and almost froze the entire time, but the rest of the restaurant had floor air conditioners with giant hoses all over. Maybe part of the buildings a/c was out? I'm not sure. But it definitely could have used a refresh. I just think for the price, there could have been a little more. Delicious, yes, absolutely. But people are paying a lot of money now to go out and want a value. We paid close to $250 for 3 people without drinks. We all had water and NO appetizers! It's just a bit high.

I frequent Benihana often. Especially on or around my birthday. However, this experience was by far the best. Our server was so/so as she kept forgetting things that we asked for. Our cook 💙 RAFAEL 💙 made up for her shortcomings. He was very kind and friendly. He paid close attention to detail and cooked our food with love, hugs, and kisses 🤗 I love when a cook makes food as if they were going to eat it. The flavor becomes exquisite! Everything was AMAZING! You hear me, Everything! Thank you, Rafael, for a great experience and delicious food. We will be returning soon. Hopefully, we will get you as our cook again.

If excellence had a name, it would be Naweed. Every meal is a masterpiece, thoughtfully crafted with exceptional skill, creativity, and passion. From the first bite to the last, each dish delivers an unforgettable experience that perfectly balances flavor, presentation, and quality. What truly sets Naweed apart is not only the incredible food but also the experience he creates. His passion for cooking is contagious, and he has a special way of making everyone feel welcome, engaged, and excited throughout the process. Watching him cook is just as enjoyable as eating the meal itself. His energy, personality, and genuine love for what he does turn every gathering into a memorable experience filled with laughter, connection, and great food. The attention to detail is remarkable, and the consistency is second to none. Every plate tells a story, and every meal feels like it was prepared with care and heart. It’s rare to find someone who can bring people together so effortlessly through food, but he does exactly that. Without a doubt, one of the most talented, passionate, and inspiring chefs I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Five stars simply aren’t enough.

We had a GREAT Birthday party dinner celebration for my son, with an amazing chef, Jorge keeping our plates filled with delicious Benihana treats ! The granddaughters loved Jorge’s creativity on the grill including, a beating heart (fried rice), a fiery volcano (onion stack) and his huge sunflower on the griddle (eggs)🫨

We went to have dinner for our daughter’s 4th birthday! Ben was our server and he was super fun to talk to! Literally the coolest guy and very personable. He was super attentive and always making sure we had everything we needed! He did a great job :) Our chef, Omar was amazing! He put on a fascinating show ! He did a little trick where he put the egg in the hat and then out came a little chick toy, my daughter loved it! He even made the egg for the fried rice in the shape of a smiley face that looked like our daughter! The food was delicious as well! These dudes deserve a raise! Thank you for a great night and meal, hope you both see this!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently stopped by for a hibachi lunch, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to the incredible team of Roger and Kaleo. First off Roger is phenomenal! Roger took care of us at the table and he is genuinely the best. You know those managers who just get it!? He kept our drinks full and made sure the timing of the courses was spot on, all while being super friendly and fun to chat with. He made us feel like family. Kaleo- sometimes lunch service at popular restaurants can feel a bit rushed, but Kaleo was the total opposite. He was incredibly welcoming, super quick with the refills, and had this great energy that instantly put us in a good mood. He checked in at all the right times and made sure we had everything we needed before we even had to ask. It’s rare to find a server who is that attentive and genuinely friendly!

Great service! Miriam was such a sweet waiter! Great smile and energy as she trained a new employee that was also sweet and gracious! There was a tall hostess that was amazing that got us in to seat right away, no wait Devin. Then to top it off there was an even more amazing manager name David that checked on us frequently! Great service! Ernesto, our cook was awesome!!
