    The soup has changed from chicken broth to beef broth and temp was barely warm. The ginger dressing on salad tasted quite different. They don't give mushrooms anymore and the price of splash and meadow is now $47.50 and fried rice is an extra $7 now. There are a lot of other places that are much better for the money. Probably won't be back. Also, we used a birthday certificate for $30 and each meal still cost $44 plus a $11 tip for each

    Had a great dinner, the only issue was the miscommunication about my boyfriend’s shrimp allergy when we had told the waitress and the chef was not relayed the information. There was a bit of hostility from the chef when we told him right before he tried to cook my boyfriend’s food after the shrimp. Communication was just not there and we were not informed of what the precautions would be for his allergy.

    We had the pork dumpling appetizer to share, along with my Lunch Steak Julienne, Fried Rice, Hibachi Vegetables, and Onion Soup, with hot green tea. My husband had Lunch Hibachi Shrimp, Fried Rice, Hibachi Vegetables, and salad, with Pepsi. It was our first time sitting at the bar in the lounge, we were celebrating our 32nd Anniversary. The service was wonderful, they kept our drinks full, and our food was delicious.

    The servers were friendly and efficient. The chef entertained our table and celebrated our birthdays. He was an excellent cook — all of the food was prepared just right and it was delicious!!!! The price was on the upper side. However, the fact that Benihana awards gift certificates to the birthday person certainly helps. We will come again for our special occasions.
