" My family chose Benihana to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! Our chef was Roberto, and he was not only skilled at cooking but also engaging and fun. The quality of the food was top-notch, with lots of options. I loved the traditional hibachi flavors, especially the teriyaki chicken. The only downside was the portion sizes could have been slightly larger, but overall it was a memorable dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Benihana based on friends’ recommendations but left feeling just okay. The food was decent but didn’t quite reach the authentic flavors I hoped for. The atmosphere was lively and engaging, though, and the service was attentive. I might visit again but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Benihana is vibrant and fun, perfect for a family night out! Our chef was very skilled and made our experience enjoyable. The food was delicious, particularly the hibachi vegetables—cooked perfectly! We ordered the sushi as well and found it quite decent. The only minor issue was that we had to wait a bit longer for our drinks. But we left with full bellies and smiles! " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything about our visit to Benihana was enjoyable. The service was prompt, and the chefs were skilled and personable. I appreciated how attentive the staff was to our needs.

" This was my first hibachi experience, and it was quite memorable! The entertainment factor was high, and our chef kept the whole table engaged.

" We tried Benihana and had such a great experience! The chef was entertaining, and while the flavors of the food were spot on, I would argue the prices are a bit steep for the portion sizes. Nonetheless, it was worth the experience and the laughs shared around the table! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Benihana was a culinary delight! Our chef was exceptional, bringing energy and flair to the hibachi grill. The steak and shrimp were incredibly fresh, and the fried rice was bursting with flavor. My kids were thoroughly entertained throughout the meal. Definitely a place we will revisit for family gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)
