    We come here almost every week and it is always amazing. I love when Anthony is our chef. We brought my mother in law today who is visiting from Florida and just our luck we got Anthony again. He is one of the best here. Fast cooking and so entertaining. Give that man a raise. He keeps the customer coming back happy. Amanda

    The service and food was excellent for a Thursday night birthday celebration. Our server Sam was attentive, knowledgeable and very friendly. Sam checked in frequently with us and made sure our drinks were full and if we needed anything. Our chef was Marvin who was fantastic. I had the Benihana Trio which was perfectly seasoned with generous amount of garlic butter. The chicken fried rice was the best I have had. Also, before I was seated I ordered a happy hour drink Benihana punch and spring rolls which were nicely priced and delicious.
