" Our family has been coming to Benihana for years, and quality has been consistent. The food is always fresh, and the staff is attentive. Even on busy nights, the experience remains enjoyable with their unique cooking styles. Just love the garlic butter! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my second time visiting Benihana. The first time was out of this world, while this time felt rushed. The waiter was not attentive at all. I hope the next visit will be better as I genuinely enjoy the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Too loud and busy for a casual dinner; the food, while tasty, did not live up to the hype. My steak was a bit overcooked, and the chicken was dry. Service was just okay—not worth the price tag in my opinion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Benihana for a large group dinner. The wait was a bit longer than anticipated, but once we were seated, everything was smooth. The chef did fantastic tricks while cooking, and the food came out hot and fresh. Worth coming back for celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love a great show along with your food, this is the place! The chef was not only skilled but also funny, making the evening delightful! Highly recommend for families and friends alike. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not what I expected. Wasn’t a fan of the food; too Americanized for my taste. The service was decent, but I feel there are better places to get authentic Japanese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great dinner and the chef was entertaining. The food was fresh and tasty; I enjoyed everything I ordered. My only complaint would be a slightly cramped seating but overall great! " (*Curated Review*)
