- TTiffanyVIPOrange County •13 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWait was incredibly long. We had a 6:30pm reservation but didn’t get seated for over an hour and then didn’t get a chef for another half hour or so. Luckily we got the best chef we’ve had in a while. I don’t remember his name…I think Mike? He looks Asian with a arm tattoo. I’ve been to Benihana so many times, and it can say this chef was amazing in terms of both tricks and cooking skills. I think his amazing attention to detail and the great taste of his food overcame the negative caused by the wait.More infoBenihana - Newport Beach, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Newport Beach•3.9
