   I go to hibachi restaurants kind of often and we did not truly experience what we expected. We expected wildfires and shows of someone cooking for us. Instead, we had a boring almost leaking guy mix our food. The chicken, taste, spoiled smell, spoiled. the steak, and the lobster were small. there was no flavor. There are rice was not properly mixed well so you can see the white rice and the parts that did get some soy sauce. I was very unhappy with the service I do not recommend.

   The table waited over 35 minutes before the chef came out to cook. Unacceptable. The waiter didn’t even check in with the table

   I’ve been dining at this location for 24 years. Last night I ordered my usual Chateaubriand and they’ve changed the meat. The quality is no longer there and it was tough. I guess for me this is the beginning of the end. Bye bye Benihana 😢

    Food was good, I don’t think it was worth $400 but overall good food and the cooks are outgoing. Our issue was the waiter, she was always hovering over us and then at the end we thought the tip was included in the bill but it wasn’t so she just stood there saying it wasn’t in the bill and after us collecting $30 cash for tip she was still waiting for more.
