" Not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed with my visit. The food was decent but didn't blow me away, and I felt like I could have made a similar meal at home. The service was friendly, but it took a long time to get our orders. I did appreciate the view and the fun atmosphere, but I think I'll try other places for hibachi in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Benihana is a fun place for gathering with friends! The chef was entertaining, and the food was tasty, though not outstanding. The portions were decent, but I expected a bit more for the price. Overall, a good experience, but more of a show than a fine dining destination. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with friends for a special occasion and it was a good time! The chef entertained us well, and the food was cooked to perfection. Our server was attentive, but we did have to wait longer than we would have liked. Still, a fun dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow, the display cooking was fantastic! Our chef was very skilled and made watching the food cook a lot of fun. The food was tasty, but the portions were smaller than I had expected, especially for the price. I'd like to see larger servings, but the overall experience was still enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Benihana after hearing about its reputation for outstanding hibachi. The food was good, though I felt the prices were quite steep for what we received. The service from the staff was good, however, and the setting at the restaurant was indeed delightful. Would come again but would look for deals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went for dinner last weekend, and I can say the atmosphere was great, but the valley service and wait time were unacceptable. They packed us in like sardines while waiting to sit. Once we did get our table, the chef was very entertaining, but the food didn’t make up for the poor service. I had the seafood platter which tasted okay, but for the price, I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for both entertainment and great food, Benihana is the place to go! The chefs bring a vibrant energy that enhances the meal. I particularly loved the steak and the sushi rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious. However, the wait time was longer than expected, which dampened the experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
