This was my first Hibachi experience and I heard so many people bragging and bragging about Benihana's that I was oh soooooo excited to FINALLY be going. Well... I was set up to be let down. First of all, by the time the chef finishes every ingredient of your meal, your meal will be cold! Who wants to eat COLD... More

Food was very good. Drink form the bar was very good. Chef was not every engaging. We could hear the chefs at tables around us who were really having a great time, but ours was kind of lack luster. We were celebrating a graduation which anyone could plainly see by the hat we put on the guest of honor. Not... More

Our group of 8 was celebrating a birthday, so thought this would be a fun dinner. The atmosphere is very dated, the restaurant was very noisy with all the other hibachi chefs preparing the meals at other tables. When our chef came to the table, he didn't talk to us and all he did was cook our food with no... More

This was my first hibachi experience. The food was so good and filling. Our chef was fun and accommodating of our tight schedule. The prices were a little higher than I'm used to paying for dinner but you get quite a bit of food. I'd recommend this restaurant until I have another hibachi experience to compare it to.

If you haven't been, go. If you've been to one anywhere, you've been to them all. Food is very good. Not outstanding, but very good. Day staff may not be great performers but the night staff always put on a fun show while they prepare your food.

The food was good, no complaints, but I have had hibachi many other places that was better and fresher tasting for less money. The decor was a little in need of freshening up as well. The franchise owner needs to spend a little money on this property and make some quality improvements in my opinion.

With 3 kids, they had a great, albeit limited, lunch menu. We all ordered the special--Hibachi beef and chicken with rice. My wife and I had the Shashimi Appetizers--4 fresh types of tuna. Manager and waiters were courteous. Food arrived quickly

I ate at this location recently after eating at several others throughout the US while I am on business travel. The food was very good overall with no complaints. The service was fine as well although I did have to ask for refills on more than one occassion. The restuarant itself was very tired and old. It definately has not... More

I always wanted to check out this restaurant. I received a birthday certificate and figured this would be a great opportunity. The waitstaff is very helpful and good at clearing dishes from your table. I ordered steak and chicken that was to cost 27.50. It came with sauteed mushrooms and onions, add a side of fried rice for 3.50 and... More
