" Honestly, I was really looking forward to dining here, but the level of service was disappointing. We had a long wait before being seated despite having a reservation, and then a longer wait still for our food. The hibachi tasted good, but I expected more from the experience overall. Portions felt small too for the price, and I don't think I would recommend it openly. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was fun and lively, but that didn't make up for the service issues. Our waiter forgot a lot of our order, and we had to remind him several times. The food was good—especially the hibachi vegetables—but the portions were smaller than what I remember from previous visits. I hope they can improve because the idea of a great meal is certainly there. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic evening! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Benihana and had an amazing time. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and accommodating. Our chef was brilliant—he made the cooking part of our evening genuinely memorable. The food was incredible, especially with that classic hibachi flair. Will definitely return again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" So this was our first time at Benihana, and it was mostly solid. The chef did his trick and the food tasted fresh. However, we had several mishaps with our order, including an incorrect drink. The atmosphere was lively, but I don't think it was enough to save the experience. If they can work on the little details like service and order accuracy, it could be perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What an experience! I visited Benihana last weekend for my sister's birthday and we had an incredible time. Our chef was lively and engaging, making the dinner an unforgettable show. The food was flavorful, especially the hibachi chicken and shrimp, which was cooked to perfection. Everything was fresh and genuinely tasted authentic. We will definitely be back soon to relive this great night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Benihana has always been a family favorite for celebratory dinners. I love the hibachi and the energy that the chefs bring to the table! On my last visit, Chef Jeremy made the night unforgettable with his jokes and tricks. The food was fantastic, especially the fried rice—it was so flavorful! The only downside was the slightly long wait for our drinks. I can't wait to return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited on a busy Saturday and was pleasantly surprised. Despite the crowds, the service was prompt, and our chef showcased some impressive skills. The food was just as vibrant and delicious as I expected. I really appreciated the combination of flavors and the presentation. Will definitely recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
