" Had a wonderful experience at Benihana last night. The chef was highly entertaining and extremely skilled. I could honestly watch the cooking show for hours. The food was fresh and flavorful, though there were some moments of waiting which could be improved. Overall, a really good time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is lively and fun! The chefs do a great job of entertaining the diners while cooking. Food-wise, I've tried both the steak and the chicken, and both were exceptional. The only downside was the cost, which felt a bit on the high side. Overall, I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not sure why everyone loves this place. The theater concept is cute, but the food was not that great. I had the chicken gyoza as an appetizer but they lacked flavor. My main course was pretty average. The service also wasn't the best. I wouldn't say it's a bad place, but it's definitely not what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had the best time at Benihana during our recent visit. The chef was incredibly entertaining and the food was deliciously cooked to perfection. We ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp along with fried rice, and every bite was worthwhile. It was also nice that portions were generous given the price. We look forward to coming again soon!

" I've been a fan of Benihana for years and this location does not disappoint! The ambiance is vibrant and fun, especially with the teppanyaki style cooking. The garlic butter they use in their dishes is a game changer, and their portion sizes are more than generous. Planning to celebrate another birthday here soon! " (*Curated Review*)
