" I had high hopes for my visit to Benihana, but I was let down. The chef wasn’t very engaging, and the food was quite average. The only highlight was the atmosphere, which was lively and full of energy. I might give it another shot to see if it was just an off night for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my anniversary at Benihana and couldn't be happier! The chef made it incredibly special with his performance. The food was delicious, and the portions were on point. I felt like we truly got our money's worth. I will absolutely recommend this restaurant to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last visit to Benihana was less than stellar. We experienced long wait times for our food, and there were definitely issues with service. While the food itself tasted fine, the experience was dampened by the chaos around us. I'll think twice about returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was prompt, and we enjoyed the atmosphere. However, I was disappointed in how bland the food was, especially for a restaurant that prides itself on its authenticity. The chef was entertaining but failed to make the meal memorable. I'll give it another try in the hopes of a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was lacking at Benihana during my visit. We had to wait far too long to be seated and even longer before our chef arrived. The food was okay but didn’t impress. I remember it being much better. I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a letdown! I came in for a birthday dinner with a group, and the service was utterly lacking. Our chef seemed overwhelmed and didn't engage with us at all. The portions were smaller than I remembered, and it took forever to get desserts. Overall a disappointing experience. I will think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)
