    Very slow to seat. It took about 35 minutes past the reservation time an about as long before the cook arrived. I like Benihannas, but the steak was very tough this time.

    It was an ok experience, I was hoping to try the 5 course which was advertised on the website; It was even what my reservation was for. After arriving, I found myself a seat after waiting past my reservation time. The server then told me, that deal was only for a limited time, though it clearly states Monday-Sunday in the bar or lounge dine in only. I ordered a couple rolls off of the menu, the chefs special was a little over rated and I didn't feel it was worth the value. The dragon roll on the other hand was VERY good and definitely worth it. Overall, not the experience I was hoping for, especially for a first time. I probably will not be returning unfortunately.

    I made our reservations through OpenTable and the app was very accommodating. We actually was seated 30 mins prior to our scheduled time. The services provided by the host and chef were exceptional. The presentation and food were second to none. In conclusion, we were left extremely satisfied.

    The chef must have been new. Not very many tricks and he over cooked most of the food. Still nice atmosphere and clean.

    There were not enough servers. I asked twice for chopsticks and the waitress never brought them. I asked a busboy who brought them to me. The teppanyaki (chef at the table) was distracted during his cooking session and my $50 scallops were over cooked. We sat for an hour before getting our salads. I went with a friend who also had scallops and steak. We each had one glass of wine. When we got the bill it was $159!! The bill was not itemized so I don’t even know if it was correct but it seems it should have been at least $30 less…
