" We went for lunch, and although the food was tasty, the wait was excessive even for lunch hour. The chef was entertaining but didn’t focus on our side of the table as much as others. It was delicious food but left me a little underwhelmed due to the service. I might give it another go during dinner when it’s busier! " (*Curated Review*)

" Benihana provides an entertaining dining experience with a theatrical flair. Our chef was incredibly lively, and we enjoyed the food, especially the grilled chicken and steak. However, the wait for service was longer than usual, which detracted a bit from our experience. I still appreciate the overall quality and will return more often! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my time at Benihana, but I found the food lacking in terms of authenticity compared to other hibachi places I've visited. While the show was fun, I expected bolder flavors and fresher ingredients. Service was good, but I think they could improve on the attention during busy hours. Overall, an average experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Benihana, and I had mixed feelings about the experience. While the chef’s show was entertaining, the food was not as authentic as I had hoped. The fried rice was decent, but the scallops felt a bit off. Service was friendly but slow, which took away from the overall enjoyment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Benihana was exactly what I was looking for! A lively, entertaining dining experience with delicious food. The hibachi-style cooking adds a theatrical element that's hard to beat. My steak was cooked perfectly, and the presentation was beautiful. My only complaint was the noise level; it was quite loud. Nevertheless, I would recommend this place to anyone!

" Had an unforgettable experience celebrating a friend’s birthday at Benihana! The delight of watching our chef skillfully prepare our meals right in front of us was incredible. The choice of dishes and flavors was remarkable, especially the lobster. It was expensive but worth it for the quality and entertainment. Truly a gem for special celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high expectations for Benihana, given its reputation, but it ended up being an average experience. The food was okay, but did not stand out from other hibachi-style restaurants. The entertainment factor was enjoyable, and I appreciated the friendly service but was expecting a bit more both in taste and overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)
