" I had a mixed experience at Benihana. The food was excellent—very fresh and delicious—but the wait for service was quite long. It was challenging to get the attention of our server, which impacted the overall experience. Still, I appreciate the effort that the chefs put into the cooking! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a somewhat disappointing experience at Benihana. While the food looked well made, the taste fell flat and was nothing special. The atmosphere was alive, but I expected more from a restaurant of this caliber. Might not return unless for the entertainment value. " (*Curated Review*)

" The views from the restaurant are stunning! It’s the perfect place to dine with friends. The chef made amazing dishes, and our drinks were filled promptly. However, we had some mix-ups with our orders, which led to a bit of frustration. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was lively, and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. I'd visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Benihana for the first time last week, and it was a memorable experience! The chef was incredibly talented, performing various tricks while cooking right in front of us. We ordered the sushi rolls and hibachi chicken, both of which tasted fresh and flavorful. The view of the bay was an added bonus, making the atmosphere all the more enjoyable. Can't wait to return with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dining experience! The chefs are incredibly skilled, and the food is delicious. I had the filet mignon, which was amazing, and the fried rice was well-seasoned. The atmosphere was lively, making dinner feel like a celebration. Highly recommend for special occasions! " (*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*)
