   Food was overall delicious. I did not care for the ginger sauce, it was far more sodium than ginger; disappointing Everything else was delicious❤️

   Food was delicious, plenty of options to choose from. Service was good. We didn’t drink any alcohol but also plenty of options for those that do. Wasn’t super crowded, and the noise wasn’t out of control. I took my friend for his birthday, since he had never been to Benihana before. They asked when making the reservation if there’s a special occasion, I listed “Adult Birthday”. There was in fact zero celebration. Apparently you need to join their Chef’s Table and get a birthday coupon? They said the coupon gets you $30 off. That’s it… honestly, I would have preferred they keep the $30 and so the little candle / lights / song that every other hibachi place does - noted for future birthdays. Otherwise, good food. Just won’t be coming back for any birthday celebrations lol

   Our reservation was for 715 and didn't get seated til 740. We didn't receive drinks until 805. We were given free appetizers which was nice of the staff but even after we didn't get started with our food until past 840. We were about 3 min away from leaving until we got our food. Chef was good and very personable but unfortunately the service was some of the worst service if not the worst service I've ever seen. Hostess and manager had to come over and help after 30 min.
