Stopped in Christmas Eve with my mother and son. It was so great I will do it every year. The atmosphere was really chill and the food was excellent. I do not have a single complaint. I was even very pleased with the service. Definitely on my favorites list.

My family and I had the most amazing experience dining at Benihanas for my sister's birthday in December 2023. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent customer service. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and festive, perfect for a celebratory occasion. The food and drinks were delicious and well-prepared. We ordered a variety of sushi rolls, hibachi dishes, and cocktails, and everything was top-notch. The chef who prepared our hibachi meal was not only skilled, but also very friendly and entertaining. He interacted with the entire table, making the experience fun and memorable. Additionally, our waiters were attentive and helpful throughout the meal. They made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests we had. The kind and friendly service really added to the overall enjoyment of the evening.
The food was amazing and well seasoned. The entire staff was amazing. Customer service was spectacular everyone was so polite the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I got there almost at 10 minutes before closing time and still was allowed to get a table and a cook and a full course meal with drinks. Also the cook Roy was amazing I had such a great experience here. The price was very affordable. I’ve been to other Benihanas but this one is the best. I will definitely be coming back here.
I recently had a fantastic lunch experience at Benihana with my family, and it was truly memorable! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. Our chef was incredibly skilled and entertaining, expertly showcasing his culinary talents right at our table. The food was exceptional; each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We loved the variety of options, from the savory hibachi grilled meats to the delicious vegetables and fried rice. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring we had everything we needed. It was a perfect setting for family bonding, filled with laughter and delicious food. We left with full bellies and big smiles, already planning our next visit. Highly recommend Benihana for a delightful family outing!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Benihana for a 44th birthday party! When the waiter came to the table, I ordered soup and salad. When it was time to place my order, I ordered the chicken fried rice with the steak and chicken. The prices have changed since I last went there 5 years ago, so make sure that you check the prices beforehand! You can expect to pay 40 to 75 per person! The kids' meals start at 20. I had a great time overall. The chef was female and she was amazing! She was very animated, personable and made the experience an excellent one! She was also very funny and she took pride in making sure that everything was cooked to perfection! Thank you!
Great place to go for special occasion celebrations as well as everyday. Servers, bartenders and hibachi chefs are attentive and toward the end of the week and weekends, reservations are suggested. Food is great with adequate portions. Pricing is mid-range. Smaller parties can eat in the bar/dining area (especially during weekday lunch/dinner times), if the hibachi experience will take too long.
This is a franchise of Benihana but handled right way. The wait time is usually long so get a reservation beforehand. There is a wait time even after a reservation. The food is great and so are the cocktails. The chefs prepare your food in front of you as a typical hibachi teppanyaki restaurant. Would visit again. Had a fun experience overall.
