" Dining at Benihana was a delightful experience. The performance by the chefs is entertaining, and the food is delicious. I particularly enjoyed the hibachi steak and the miso soup. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. This is a great place to celebrate special occasions or just have a fun night out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and a good time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most delightful meal at Benihana recently. The chef, Tenzin, was not only entertaining but also incredibly skilled at preparing our meals. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out in each dish, especially the vegetables. The cocktails were a nice touch, too! My only criticism would be that the price can be a bit steep, but for the quality and experience, it's worth it. Will definitely come back for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Benihana last weekend. The food was good, but I've had better sushi elsewhere. Service was friendly but a bit slow. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, though! The open kitchen setup is great for watching the chefs work their magic. I might give it another try for the entertainment factor, but I'll be cautious with my food order next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the entertainment factor at Benihana is top-notch, I found the food to be underwhelming. The shrimp was overcooked, and the fried rice was bland. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was lively, and our server was friendly, which made the meal enjoyable overall. I might try a different dish next time to see if it improves my opinion. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my brother's birthday at Benihana and it was an amazing experience! The chef was so engaging, everyone was laughing and participating in the cooking process. The food was delicious, I particularly enjoyed the shrimp and steak. The service was impeccable as well—attentive but not intrusive. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Benihana expecting great food based on previous experiences, but it fell short this time. The sushi rolls tasted off, and my steak was way overcooked. The chef was nice, but I felt a bit ignored as I waited for my drinks. I’m not sure if I’ll return after this experience, which is a shame because I used to love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Benihana has been our go-to place for birthday celebrations for years! The chefs are always fun and interactive, making the experience enjoyable. The food is authentic and fresh—especially the hibachi shrimp and chicken fried rice. Our server was extremely attentive, making sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a special dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
