The best fried rice EVER! If you're in the mood to indulge, order two...someone at your table will want more. Good for large groups.
Good food ceratain chefs are funny especially romeo but they charge extra for certain things and it does not say it on the menu but overall 2 thumbs up plus I loved the garlic butter gotta have it
LOVE Benihana! Lunch is very affordable (max around $16) for lunch sets that includes soup , veggie fried rice , and veggies ????dinner usually end up 30-40/person and doesn't come with the fried rice .
The Blue Ocean Punch Bowl is a delightful mix of sake , rum , and ???? vodka . Its the Moraine Lake of cocktails .
It will much more fun if you come here with a bunch of friends. But still will be a blast to go on a date. The chefs are all friendly and the food are delicious.
Came on new years - packed. Def plan extra time after your rez. The meal was delicious but they no longer include ice cream :( the deluxe treat but Brady had the Benihana Special / hibachi supreme
I took a group here for lunch ! It was very good. Service was slow, but we still enjoyed our food which made up for our visit overall.
Incredible day with my friends in from Pittsburgh! Our chef was entertaining, and the food was incredible. Fun atmosphere and great food. For fun! Even for New Yorkers...

Free ice cream for a special occasion celebration (bf's bday & new friends' engagement). They'll sing Happy Birthday in English and Japanese. Then get a photo taken of your group, comes frame & all.
It's a chain, so come here with the same expectations as other locations!! The staff here seemed to hate their jobs, oy but all of the food/drinks were on point and everything was generally great÷
Loved the filet mignon but not as much lobster . Good coconut cocktail !
Their restaurant and hibachi is great but their happy hour is even better!
Hibachi is always awesome. Cool for groups, it's family friendly . Go early, it's pretty packed during happy hour .
Although it's not on the menu together, you can order the spicy chicken and filet mignon as a lunch combo , and I recommend you do so. Ask for extra rice , however.
Delicious, crowded , fun atmosphere but you leave the restaurant stinking of food!
This really has become a place for bridge people to celebrate a special occasion . And be prepared to wash and dry clean *ALL* your clothes after dining here.
For something lite that's still fun to watch, go for the Garden Delight. Skip the rice if you want to be really skinny. In the mood for more protein? Shrimp Skewer appetizer should do the trick.
The food was awesome. The chef "Tu" was quite entertaining and the staff were so helpful.. They even printed out a pic of us for my bday.
Honestly i love the food and the atmosphere here, and some cooks are better at the show than others but still an awesome place to go, btw try the fried green tea ice cream , fucking amazing
Ask for the special sauce (garlic butter & teriyaki sauce)- it's extra $ but it's worth it!!!
Hibachi Chicken & Shrimp was great! Spicy tuna roll was just ok. White Peach Sangria was AMAZING!!!
Great food! Amazing service always a good time. Go on an empty stomach and prepare to eat a ton of food!
A zoo . Tourist joint but if you can take over a grill, always a hit with the kids.
Order th Chicken & Vegetable Fried Rice . Add the Mustard Sauce for extra greatness!!
Longest wait ever. We had a 830 reservation , it's 9:12 and we're still waiting. I want my shrimpies.
Benihana is not a place for smaller groups they will put you at a table with other people even if you reserve a table for yourself and the people you're with. Make sure you have at least 8 to10 people
For a kid’s birthday, it’s pure joy. The show is fun, but don't expect anything mind-blowing on the food front. The many sauces help.
Make sure you tell your chef “light on the salt”!
Calamari hibachi tastes great. Ask for a spicy sauce if you like it hot ????
Chicken Fried Rice !! Also, get a Rocky's Choice & Surf Side... Great to split w/ 2 people.
Baby Blue Ocean was delicious and the food was perfect!!! I loved this place!
Good for birthdays - but you're going to drive everyone else nuts if you make them sing to you.
Hibachi is a fun experience and they are great food entertainers as well as cooks
They don't have surf and turf , but the boogie board and rollerblades is legit (shrimp and chicken )
I'd come here over and over again for the Benihana herb tea .
Ask for the fried rice instead of the normal
Always add chicken fried rice to your meal and ask for the Diablo sauce !
Sign up for their birthday club. Free dinner Monday thru Thursday for up to $30!
Hibachi is fun and entertaining for people who've never seen it before
Instead of waiting for hibachi tables, sit outside or in the renovated lounge . Zero wait and same amazing hibachi !
Ask for special sauce . You won't regret it. (Seriously!!)
Our server came back and suprised that we didn't tip her well ... She was MIA for good 40min while our group's drinks were gone... What a nerve!
Make a reservation . Get the fried rice . Skip the sushi .
Make sure to ask for 2 tables if your party is larger than 8-10.
Love the show when they're making your food
The Benihana trio is great!
The grilled salmon w/avocado was surprisingly decent
The waiting was long they did not ask us if we want to eat sushi only or not so waited for 29 minutes then we had to go back down for sushi only and waited for 20 minute only for the waiter to come
They cook these great dishes right in front of your face!
For dessert, make sure to try the Green Tea Crepe and the Caramelized Grilled Banana Split. ???? - Princess Abigail Bacani
Sushi & sashimi combo 4 nigiri , 8 sashimi ,salmon carpaccio , california & u.f.o. Roll. Includes salad , soup an d green tea $23. (dinner) - neerad jet .
great drinks, nice seating areas and and free popcorn! I love their music selections too but be prepared for louder volume. Ok for dates, but great to go out with friends! - Silvia Coco
Always my favourite place to be when I am in NY. Love the dynamic. - Atika Al-Bimani
The best Genius staff ever!!! Knowledgeable, quick, courteous. Had a much better experience than their SoHo store. - makia matz
