" It was a family outing at Benihana for my mother's birthday, and she had a blast! Our chef was engaging and entertaining, and the attention to detail was impressive. The flavors were on point, and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating a special occasion. We’ll be back for more hibachi goodness! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Benihana was an absolute delight! The atmosphere was lively, and our chef was everything we hoped for: engaging, skilled, and funny. However, while I loved the chicken fried rice, the veggies were a bit undercooked for my taste. Still, the meal was a memorable experience for my family and me. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've frequently visited Benihana over the years and it’s always been a delightful experience until now. On this visit, our server seemed overwhelmed and rarely checked on us. The food was fine, but the service really dampened the evening. The chef was entertaining, which was a plus, but I expect both food and service to be on point. Maybe I’ll give it another shot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to our dinner at Benihana, but to be honest, I left feeling a bit disappointed. The service was largely inattentive, and although our chef put on a decent performance, the food just didn’t live up to the hype. The shrimp was a little overcooked and the rice lacked flavor. I was expecting a lot more from a place known for its hibachi dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many hibachi restaurants and Benihana does put on a good show! However, I was disappointed that the portions felt small compared to typical hibachi places. The food was definitely fresh and cooked well, but at those prices, I expected more on my plate! Overall, solid, but not the best in my opinion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I returned to Benihana after several years and was excited for the experience. The food quality was great, that's for sure. The steak was delectable, cooked exactly to order, and you get to see the magic of the hibachi up close. Was a bit disappointed in the caloric content, though; didn’t realize how heavy that meal would feel afterward! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Benihana for a special occasion, and it was worth every penny! The show the chef puts on is genuinely entertaining, and they gave us an amazing experience! The steak and shrimp were perfectly cooked, and my kids were enthralled by the food prep. It’s a bit pricey, but the memories we made are priceless. Definitely will be visiting again for my daughter’s birthday next month. " (*Curated Review*)
