If you feel like splurging the scallops are so good! Always get the chicken fried rice instead of steamed and order a sushi roll for an app. I never get full off the regular meal.

Bora Baysal

I just ordered Spicy Hibachi Chicken which was really spicy but the Japanese Chef kept supplying side-dishes, even some shrimps to our plates just from the grill???? great food, great show????

If you get there by lunch time you'll be full on their delicious salad , fried rice and vegetable dishes (which are all free), before you even get to what you ordered.

Tom Maxwell

It’s a chain restaurant and kind of corny, sure, but entertaining nonetheless and the food is good. Go for fried, not steamed, rice . Reserve seating beforehand if you’re with a group.

Just a heads up! When you get your free photo @ the end of your birthday dinner - leave the lights OFF! Your photo will probably look better with a Lil color! It's a free photo- but STILL.

Benihana is a culinary establishment people come here from around the world to take a brief respite from whatever conference they're in town for. Anyways great spot - go for lunch it's 1/2 the price.

Lukas White

Great happy hour selection! Runs Mon-Thu 4-7PM

Tom Coates

The experience and the performance is super fun and really entertaining. Honestly though I’m not a fan of the food or drinks. It’s heavy and rich and mediocre.

Gene Keenan

Johnny Nitro (may he rest in peace ) would say they are drinking doubles until they are seeing triple. In the case of Benihana it's drinking triples until your your seeing quadruple

Vincent Pardue

Took my girl here for her first ever Benihana experience! Chef Jose was so nice and such a talented chef ! ありがとうございます!

Tone B

Delicious food, having your own chef so you can ask for some changes.

Garry Tan

Ok it’s cheesy and a big chain, and it is a bit of a long wait . But it is fun and relatively tasty.

Ryan

Have a contest with your group to see how many times they will beat the drum for a birthday. You will be surprised. Our record is 12 in one meal.

Angelica W

Friendly and sassy service.

Ron Hanhy

You have o order the Diablo sauce . It's not on the menu . A small size is $2.50 and a large is $5.00. It's the only spicy sauce they have. It's like an orange aioli .

BBY

Yemekler, sunum ve aşçıların şovu çok başarılıydı. Havalandırması sorunluydu, donduk ve hastalandık.
