" Fantastic dinner at Benihana! The food was fresh, and I particularly loved the grilled vegetables. Chef Tenzin was entertaining and made the entire experience memorable. Service was quick and efficient. I loved cooking with my table mates and creating a fun atmosphere. I will definitely be back with friends! Perfect for date nights or social gatherings.

" We visited Benihana on a friend's recommendation and it was a fun experience! The chef was energetic and involved us in the cooking process. The portions were generous, and the flavor was spot on. I felt the service could improve, as our drinks took a while to arrive, but overall a successful outing. I look forward to returning to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my recent visit to Benihana. The chef was entertaining, but the food fell flat for me. My steak was overcooked, and the fried rice was bland. The atmosphere was lively, and I appreciated the effort of the staff, but I left feeling unsatisfied with the meal itself. I may give it another chance in the future to see if service improves.

" 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*)
