    My girlfriend and I haven’t been to a Benihana’s in 10 years. 10 years later, they are still going stronger than ever. As soon as we stepped in, I could immediately smell the delicious aroma. Despite frequent power issues, leading to computer issues, they did not let it stop them from putting on an amazing show, performing with amazing service, and cooking the most amazing hibachi stir fry anywhere. I am in the culinary business myself and the hibachi shrimp was absolutely to die for, cooked to perfection and flavored with love. My girlfriend also tried their sushi for the first time which neither of us have ever had. They have some of the best sushi I have ever tasted. But my absolute favorite is still their amazing mustard sauce. I could eat with that sauce absolutely all day. Benihana still remains one of my top favorite restaurant spots to visit. Thank you so much for an amazing meal and experience!

    Ambience was excellent. Everything I had hoped for in an Old Town experience in my last night in LA. The garlic edamame was to die for. Surprising, for such a simple veg. Our server was very helpful through the selection process. Unfortunately I can't recall her name now. I was also able to customize my orders: no eel sauce, add avocado. That sort of thing. It is on the high end price-wise, but it was certainly worth it to cap a wonderful visit to Pasadena. Must visit again!
