Benihana - Bethesda

Dinner and a show! The staff were professional and accommodating. The chef put on a great show that kept the kids and adults entertained! My daughter absolutely loved the onion volcano. The food was amazing... the only gripe about the food was the chicken was a bit tough, but it was still edible. Everything else was excellent! Definitely would recommend the filet mignon medium rare, went well with the yummy sauce! The bathroom was relatively clean. I did have an issue with four young boys (9-13 years old) that were kicking the stall doors and peeping under the partitions. This was concerning since my young daughter was the one in the stall. (Yes I did speak with the parents and resolved the issue.) This is a one off event but doesn't represent any issues with the establishment itself.

Hi everyone, this has been my second time going to Benihana and both times were enjoyable. Today was exceptional as I was spending time with my grandmother for the All Day Happy Hour. We came as soon as they opened and were greeted nicely from the host but the bartender Sergio was amazing. His drink making skills are to perfection and he extended hospitality towards my grandmother and I checking back with us any chance he could get. The food was amazing as well, left us full and eager to come again. This was an amazing experience and I cannot wait to be back. Sergio, you are an amazing person overall and I wish this place all the success. Drinks: Passionfruit Frozen Mojito, Strawberry Frozen Mojito Food: Two orders of Pan Fried Gyoza, Pork, Salad, Shrimp and Julienne Cut Steak Lunch Duet Special :). (Don’t have a photo of the lunch duet but just know everything was seasoned to perfection)

A dinner and show performed by our iron chef, Kathrin. She did a very great job. She cleaned the stove, and then she started cooking the food. It was like watching a painter painting a canvas or a musician playing an instrument. You have to admire the ironclad determination and skill. She cooked our steak, rice, shrimp, and vegetables by dancing with the flames. Everything was nicely cooked. She did it all by doing tricks with a smile. It was my first but not my last. My mom and I had a blast. I give it two blazing thumbs up!!

Nov 2025: Large Japanese steak house in Bethesda, MD. I ate sushi at the bar since I went by myself. The main dining area was huge. Even though the bar was sparse I did not get too much attention regarding drinks and refills and they forgot one of the items I ordered. Props to the crunchy shrimp roll. That was great!

Best time ever 👍🏽Herman, the GM at Benihana, was incredible. His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm hospitality made our visit stand out. He personally checked in to ensure everything was perfect. Truly exceptional service! We are definitely coming back 😃😃😃

My husband and I frequent Benihanas solo and as a family for events or just for the bar atmosphere. Today, we visited the bar and had service by Sergio who was exceptional. Our seasonal margaritas were amazing (Sweater Weather Margaritas— highly recommend if you like a hint of cinnamon and fall vibes). Our food came out quick and was so tasty! Highly recommend this hibachi steakhouse— ask for Sergio!

I visited for the first time earlier this month and had a wonderful experience. Our chef Mauro took the time to make our experience extra special and cater to all our requests. Lulu, our server , never skipped a beat bringing our meals out correctly. Julia at the bar made sure the drinks kept flowing. I also would like to give a personal shout out to Jabari & German who were managing this night and went the extra step to ensure the dinner party was accommodated for. I recommend this location 10000/10 & will definitely be back!!

This place was very good. One slight downfall was that my steak and shrimp were over cooked. I had asked that the steak be medium rare, but was more on point as a medium well. Flavor was great though! The rest of the food was in point and the chef did a fantastic job with his performance as he cooked for us. All in all, I’d go back to this place again and would recommend others to give it a shot.

Great dinner last night and our server/host- Sergio at the bar was great. He was so personable and nice to us. He made sure we had a good time and our dinner was perfect. Great evening and great food.

Really don't want to bash this place -- it's the OG hibachi spot that everyone else has copied, and I genuinely hope it sticks around forever. But the prices are pretty steep compared to other hibachi restaurants in the area, easily about 30% higher. A kids' meal that's usually around $14-$15 elsewhere is $24 here, and a veggie dish that might run you $20 at another spot is $33. Biggest offense is charging an extra $7 for fried rice when every other hibachi place includes it. How much is an egg and some peas? Service wasn't great at first, but everyone was friendly, and they ultimately made up for it. I'd also say the food isn't quite as good as what you can get at other hibachi places nearby, but it's still enjoyable overall.

Representing 2020 for B is for Benihana. Not sure why all the negative reviews of Benihana; this place is great! Been here multiple times over the years to use my birthday offer. They give like 90 days on the birthday offer so it tends to be spring when I'm using, which is great. I was so impressed the 1st time I ever went in the mid-2010's with a friend. You sit at a table around the chef and watch him make the food in front of you. He does various tricks like a fire volcano with the onions, flips the spatulas, etc. The food was great too. I've had various foods over the years like the seafood, chicken, steak, etc. Everything is great including the rice & veggies, salad with peanut sauce you get, etc. April 2020 was a tough time, Covid, where no dine-in & all takeout. I was determined to use my birthday deal anyway. My girlfriend & I drove from Wheaton to downtown Bethesda to use this deal. They were organized with all the to go orders. Then, we ate in the car like animals as we didn't want the food to get cold by the time we got back home. It was inconvenient for sharing the food, but we made do, still delicious. Unfortunately, that year Benihana lost the appeal of the whole experience of having the chef cook in front of you. Thankfully, dine-in was back when I redeemed the birthday offer in early June 2021, which I used with a friend who lives near here. March 2022 I went with that same friend. Didn't end up using in 2023 & 2025. My girlfriend & I had planned to go to use my birthday deal and meet up with my friends, one of which she hadn't met yet on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. Sadly, on that morning the Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed. I was depressed that day, but I wasn't changing my plans. Another great experience with my girlfriend. Food & service was great per usual. Even with the $30 off, it's still expensive now like $90 total for the two of us. So, I determined the birthday offer isn't that great these days plus Bethesda was never that convenient on a Monday-Thursday in 2025 to use the deal.

My food was seasoned, but not Japanese style. It was not cooked like a traditional hibachi meal so that threw us off a bit. The chef was sweet and had a pleasant disposition though. The staff had to be asked a few times for items. This had to be the most diverse staff I have ever seen in a hibachi restaurant. Loved that! The restaurant was clean and we were greeted upon entry. There was a bday at our table and the waiter sang to him in English and Spanish:)

These my favorite lunch boat. It's combo, come with soup, salad, and rice..! And 4 flavor sauce. I have ordered almost 10years. The same food. the price is very fair.!

The food was great. The service was great!! Thank you Julia!!! This is my first time at a Benihana. I have planned on going many times but hadn't pulled the trigger. Not to mention I've always been pretty far from one. The ambiance is very relaxing and chill. No more happy hour next time it'll be for dinner. Wondering if Benihana does anything special for birthdays? I'll definitely find out. My 50th is at the end of the year. They do have WiFi if I'm remembering correctly. Unfortunately, no first responder or military discounts.

Don't understand the low reviews. Food is consistently good, atmosphere is fun, service is excellent! The servers are chefs are very kind and friendly. Went once with a baby and a small child in the group and was impressed by how much they accommodate children, including small children. Very family friendly restaurant that also is fun enough for a young couple.

I ordered takeout from here and ordered the chili shrimp roll and hibachi fried rice trio. The hibachi fried rice only serves 1 but was big enough to serve two. I did not care for this rice however, just didn't taste like hibachi rice. The chili shrimp roll on the other hand was pretty good and bursting with flavor. 8.5/10.

I've been visiting Benihana since I was a youngin and I'll always love it. Now the prices have gone up but that comes with the economy. I'm always entertained here (my favorite part being the onion chu chu train lol) and I always leave with leftovers. The food is fresh and the staff is great. I haven't had a bad experience or meal here yet. Casual dining that's good for celebrations and birthdays. Side note: Pay for parking in the app to avoid getting a ticket.

Such a fun, interactive dining experience. The hibachi chefs are engaging and skilled, and the food is exactly what you would expect from a hibachi restaurant.

I went here on a Saturday 11/2 for a celebration. I'm giving a 4 star because the chef was not as active and did not engage with the table like I saw some of the other chefs do. He was very good with identifying any allergies guest may have so he can prepare the food correctly, I give him a 5 star on that. The food tastes great I pretty much finished my entire meal at the table, our table was celebrating birthdays so it was nice the entire table was able to select an ice cream choice. Over all I had a nice time and will return. I ordered the filet mignon with large shrimp, which was very delicious.

I have a really great time I come in here! Usually I'm solo at the bar but the managers always make me feel well taken care of and they are so kind! Shout out to Sergio for always going out of his way to make the experience even better! I love Benihana!!!

Really enjoyed this experience today. The food was well prepared right in front of us, the Hibachi steak was delicious and the veggies crunchy. The cooking show was entertaining, with some fun for the kids. I highly recommend this restaurant to families and groups of friends.

I like to explore different restaurants in the area and came across Benihana on Google. I ordered to go and the waited for about twenty minutes. I got edamame, calamari and sushi. When I looked at the menu, I felt like there was not a lot to choose from under the sushi menu. Then again, it is a hibachi spot. Anyways, I would say the food was good. Sushi was very filling. Next time, will try the hibachi. Also note, the spot is expensive.

I love hibachi and everything here is amazing. The meats, vegetables and seafood were so fresh. The drinks were delicious. I love the chefs and the entertainment. Such a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was upbeat and positive. The decorations were beautiful. 5 Star dining at its best.

I love this place. They can do no wrong in my eyes, except the chefs. My order was prepared incorrect and although they fixed it I had to wait until everyone's food was prepared. The hibachi experience is much nicer when the staff in enthusiast, but it a chain restaurant.

The food here is good. We enjoyed our filet mignon and chicken fried rice. Everything was perfectly seasoned and was enjoyable. The lychee cocktail was very good. Our chef was very friendly and took great care to ensure we had the proper food and that it was cooked how we wanted it. However, there are a few things I wanted to mention. This place is a tad pricey, other hibachi places in the area are at least 30% cheaper overall with very little drop off in quality (although the food here tastes the best IMO). It's quite loud, there are a lot of kids (Saturday night) so just be aware of this. But my main issue was the lack of showmanship. You come to hibachi places for the tricks and showmanship of the chefs. Only doing the flaming onion tower isn't enough IMO. As I watched other tables I saw a few chefs throw some food into their hat, but that was it. I expected a lot more since Benihana is such an institution.

My family hosted my son's 10th birthday at Benihana's this week and it was incredible. Sometimes it is hard coordinating and executing a large party (over 25 people) at restaurants, especially with 11 children. The manager Johnathan made sure we had everything we needed to include highchairs and cake plates without asking. When we had a few guests pop up that didn't RSVP, Johnathan quickly accommodated them without missing a beat. The event was hugely successful because of him and the staff's effectiveness. I would highly recommend Johnathan and his team in Bethesda for your special dinner with your family. Melanie On Monday, October

Wonderful experience! The food was excellent and the service was attentive, positive, and entertainWe all had the Benihana Trio, so enjoyed shrimp, filet, and chicken. All were perfectly cooked, as was the fried rice.

Love hibachi! Brought my bestie here for a Sunday brunch date and it was perfect! We were seated right away as soon as it opened. We were eating within 15 mins! The fried rice was addictive! I ordered steak strips and shrimp and she got shrimp and scallops. Both meals were exquisite and still had leftovers for enjoyment later on. We will definitely be returning! The ginger and yummy yummy sauce are so tasty on everything! Our chef was very talented and gave out good portions! Sorry we ate so quick that I didn't get to take any pictures.

The service is great and the sake flight was delicious. But on Mother's Day I was left feeling ripped off. They only offered a dinner menu for our 1230 reservation. The portion sizes were greatly underwhelming. A few pieces of chicken, the steak portion was better. $7 extra for fried rice that gets cold waiting on the rest of your food. $7 extra for noodles that was skimp as well. After paying $50+ already for the entree. The veggie portion was sad as well. One thinly sliced zucchini and onions. They gave macaroons to the moms which was nice but we will not be back.

I had an amazing time at Benihana in Bethesda! They have the best service and everyone is so nice! Especially Mimi and Herman, the managers! Wilma is an awesome server! if you go ask for Wilma and Mimi or Herman will take care of you! Thanks Benihana, I will be back soon!

Jonathan Hargraves gave us the best service at Benihana! Friendly, attentive, and ensured our food was to our liking which made the whole experience memorable. Highly recommend asking for him!

The service is impeccable the food always hot fresh & good portions, the staff are very accommodating the Manager and bar staff are beyond helpful. I've been here a few times and everytime i come I receive the best service. Herman and his staff are amazing and we wil continue to come back

A Hibachi place where the chefs cook your food in front of you and put on an entertaining performance while doing it! If you sign up for their rewards you can get $30 off for your birthday! The place is pricey but the quality of my Filet Mignon was excellent. I got the Land and Sea which included Filet Mignon and scallops, unfortunately my scallops were wildly overcooked. I wish they let us specify like for steak. My meal was supposed to include 6 courses but the tea never came. 5 courses that did arrive were: onion mushroom soup (delicious broth), salad (fresh dole lettuce and tasty dressing), shrimp, main entree, rice, and ice cream. My favorite part was watching the chef! I wish ours did egg tricks but he did do the onion ring volcano which was fun. Overall the portion size could have been bigger as the meal was pricey. No tea

Benihana is Japanese-style teppanyaki cooking. On this occasion it was Christmas day and the restaurant was very busy at the bar and in the main dining room. I didn't have a reservation because quite honestly I didn't expect it to be as busy on the evening of Christmas Day. However after approximately a 30 minutes wait the hostess was able to fit me and my family in at a table with another party of three. Once seated our waiter was quick to approach us to take our drink order. One thing for sure is on this day the restaurant was very efficient in getting patrons in and out of the dining room. The food was good however I've been to other Benihana's that once thrived in the DMV years ago and the table side experience was lacking and the food portions seemed small. If you're familiar with Benihana then you know their chefs perform a number of grill presentations including the "beating heart" and "smoking igloo" (which was a sloppy execution). On this occasion our chef didn't perform the beating heat and the smoking igloo was everything but that. The chef also didn't toss any pieces of protein into the mouths of diners which I remember at one point was a signature segment of the grill presentation. We did get the blazing fire show which the kids enjoyed. It seemed almost out of control, however grand which the kids enjoyed. Overall an OK experience. The kids will love this place and so will adults who aren't familiar with the old product of Benihana. One word of caution: the chefs don't prepare the meal as a whole. They prepare the entrees in piece meal, cooking the ingredients one-by-one and serving the entree deconstructed. If you're not used to this you might be tempted to eat the ingredients as the chef places them on your plate, thinking they are just appetizers when in fact it is the deconstructed contents of your meal. It can be quite disappointing at the end of the cook when the chef wraps up only to realize you're not getting any more food. Give this place a try.

Recently started working in the area, and will officially be making this my lunch spot. All of the staff are very nice, which makes sense because the managers are as well. They're easily accessible and willing to jump in if needed. Jonathan checked on me throughout my meal, and even offered a complimentary soup to accommodate my wait for shrimp. Enjoyed the cleanliness of the restaurant and can't wait to come back!

My family and I come here all the time whether it's for a birthday or just for lunch/dinner. The service is always great and the manager Johnathan is amazing.

Benihana is our work crew's spot for celebrating birthdays. It has become a tradition--a 10-year tradition. So crazy to type that out, 10-years! If you are unaware, Benihana's is a hibachi grill entertainment restaurant. They are known for creating an interactive dining experience, where you can watch chefs perform their magic cooking skills right in front of you. The atmosphere is fun and energetic (perfect for kids). Food is always good and since they are serving you directly at the table, you can make your food to-order, including spice level! They have a small bar but they do have Happy Hour!

Had an amazing experience. Johnathan the manager was so patience, sweet and attentive. Will definitely be visiting again!

Big kiddos Johnathan at the door!!! I had a fantastic experience at Benihana. The customer service was outstanding -- the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our visit enjoyable. From the moment we walked in to the time we left, everything was handled with professionalism and a warm attitude. Highly recommend! I'll be returning back real soon.

My friends and I came for lunch on a Saturday. Everyone was so attentive and friendly. Food was great for what it was. Timing was great too.

Best teppanyaki in the area still. Used to go for hibachi lunch specials back in the days which was very very reasonable. Now it's quite a distance to drive down but man oh man.. their garlic butter fried rice is da BOMB. Their service is ofc

I head, not to go there . The food and service is not good all is to expensive for what you get. So we won't go, there are much better places to go. My friends had a bad experience so I can't recommend them. Ellen

You know your foodie love a Hibachi! I am a stan for a Benihana. My go to Fliet Mignon and Chicken! Love this place. Make a reservation on Open Table. Always packed.

Was planning to visit again but have sent multiple emails about our birthday reward to no responses. Per the FAQ they will respond within 2 business days, but it's been 8

I was disappointed in this place. I e been to multiple hibachi's and I thought this place was the best of the best. My first issue was we were shoved at a full table that looked like it only fit 6 but it was 7 of us, with one half off the table almost behind it with the cook. I did not like that we were squeezed in. My neighbor was all over top of my glass of water because we were elbow to elbow. Second issue was our cook was burning the onions and charred the shrimp. That wasn't to big of a deal however I was upset that he cooked our shrimp first and he butterflied them and cut them into pieces to make it seem as if it was more than it was. My ship was sold and my vegetables while waiting on him to cook the chicken and steak. I was starving and ready to go. I had been staring at a bowl of rice , cold shrimp and veggies for about 10-15 minutes. Once we finally got our full plate, the food was so skimp and cold I couldn't believe it. I wanted to like this place however, I doubt I would return. The prices are way higher than the average hibachi and the portions don't even fill the plate. Meals are $45 and up and they charge Evers for fried rice. I have never paid extra for fried rice at other hibachi's . I was so annoyed that I didn't even snap a picture. Then on top of it we really didn't get a show like we thought we would. Unfortunately only good thing I did like, was the meats were cooked separately and not mixed together. You can be sure to get a full piece of chicken/steak etc. also the rice was evenly distributed and not just scooped with the spatula. Food was excessively greasy and I didn't really like the lemon squeezed on my hibachi . Ambiance is nice.

Lackluster food and overall underwhelming experience! It's been years since I've been to this place, and I truly see why I haven't been back.....bland food and average tasting hibachi at best. There are certainly better hibachi spots around the DMV that would run circles around this place. Benihana is one of the original "OG" hibachi spots in the DMV but I am afraid to say they have fallen off and the overall experience that I had concluded years ago seems to be the same today. THE SHORT I came here for a birthday celebration and I am sure this would be the only case for coming here again--not by my own delight. First and foremost, I'm going to give it to you straight up and simple. The food was unseasoned, average at best and the hibachi chef was the worst -- lacked excitement, energy,, entertainment skills and made the entire experience boring as hell. Let me also preface this by saying I have had many types of Japanese hibachi and steak house encounters to know a good experience versus bad. This one was really bad! Also, I've been to enough hibachi-style restaurants to compare differences where the price-point matches the food and overall experience. Definitely not here. THE LONG Now that this has been said, let's get to the strong points and factors that did stand out....THE DRINKS! That's about it. Oh! And the hibachi steak cut was tender and of a good quality. Can't say that about the rest of the proteins in my hibachi trio (steak, chicken & lobster). For starters, the reservation was prompt. As we waited for our table we had great drinks at the bar. The only thing that was a bit offputting was the smell at the bar. It seems to have had a smell of sewage or bad bathroom stench that was nearby. Definitely not the first thing you want to smell before eating your meal. Once the table was ready, we were all seated. This is where things went downhill for the rest of the night The table in which we sat was not cleaned fully. There were food crumbs left around the eating area, and seats from the previous party. We had to request for the area to be cleaned again before we sat down. Now on to the drinks and food..... * Cocktails -- All good and compliments on the: - Dry Martini - Red Plum Sake Sangria - Exotic Mojito - Stong Bone Crushers....Yes, old school drinks! lol * Appetizers: - Pan Fried Gyoza Dumpling (Spicy chicken) on point. Great flavor and crunch - Tokyo Wings: A fail. We ordered this appetizer and then a few minutes later our waiter came back to inform us that they were sold out of wings for the entire night. WTH!? Mind you it was 4:30 PM in the evening and you are sold out for the entire day/night!? So the makings of a good night was already starting to fall short. On top of some of the appetizers not being available, we were also informed that a kitchen fryer was not working so they were not doing any appetizers on the menu that were fried at the moment which included the wings, chicken fingers, some tempura items, etc. I did manage to complain enough to get a tempura lobster sushi roll made that was decent. * Dinner: This is where most of the yelp star deductions are warranted. The restaurant was clearly short on staff and the chef sent to our table was ill-prepared and barely had the ingredients for all of our orders. He seemed very rushed, clumsy, and had no excitement or interaction with everyone at the table. At times, he was dropping the spatula, knife and performing very bad tricks with no success. He even spilled part of the meal on one of my friend's clothing. There was a combination of seafood, steak, chicken, & veggies ordered by all. Overall everything served was in small portion, under-seasoned, and cooked/served in a rush. The rice and noodles that was made to complement the dish was very bland. Everyone agreed to this and at times you could see folks drowning their meal with soy sauce and the ginger sauce provided to get some flavor out of their dish. Lol I really hate to sum up things this way, but what else can I say except for it was a birthday celebration dinner that this place did not make special for the occasion. At least the cocktails and apps (at least those that were available) were good. I would give Benihana 2 1/2 stars at best! As mentioned earlier, the overall experience was lackluster, and they definitely did not make the birthday celebration seem special. The "Salt & Pepper" rating was "0".....meaning bland and and the seasoning-spice level factor needed to be turned up! Not to mention, the vibe and decor of this place still looks the same as when I came here well over 25 years ago in the late 90s!! lol It is clear I would not recommend Benihana as to there are many other Japanese steakhouses-hibachi spots in the DMV that are way better and offer a far more elevated experience. I certainly will not be back here again by choice. However, make your own decision and enjoy. Perhaps your experience may be different.

This review is purely for happy hour. On a Monday this is one of the few places in Bethesda that has happy hour from 3p-7p. The drink selections were great, I just wish there were more or better food options for happy hour. For happy hour they had martinis, punch, sake and other drinks on special. Additionally they had spring rolls, sushi rolls, wings and dumplings on their happy hour menu. I opted for the red plum sake sangria, a side of chicken fried rice and spicy salmon roll. The food was all delicious, I do wish the sangria was a little bit stronger but it was still tasty.

We enjoy Hibachi and going to different Japanese steak houses. We have been to many of them. For Mother's Day we decided to try Benihana. I will say this is the last time. The food is WAY overpriced for the quality. The service from the Chef was horrible. He rushed through the service, barely said two words to us and over cooked the food. The waiter was good but still not great. We had empty plates and bowls on our table almost the whole time and the tables are small to begin with.

I was really impressed with the service Jabari provided. From the moment we walked in, the he was attentive and welcoming. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure our drinks were always refilled without us having to ask. The timing of the courses was perfect--never rushed, but we didn't have to wait too long either. It made the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable.

Really enjoyed my experience here. Was skeptical cause the reviews but this place was hopping and delivered. Lots of people but service was great and food was above what I expected for sure. It was a bit loud as I said cause every table was full but everything was still friendly and attentive. I thought the food was some of the best for hibachi I have had in this area for sure. Got the filet and fried rice , only thing I wish they gave more zucchini and mushrooms ... those portions were fairly small. My partner had the yakisoba with all three proteins and loved it

Had a great service tonight with my family after a disappointing moment on our last visit. Thanks to Mimi the supervisor for accommodating our special request. Can't wait to be back.

I must say, I don't really understand the hype. Great service. The food just isn't that good. The salad is super basic. The chicken is a little tough. The meat portions are small. The shrimp and bang bang sauce are good. One and done for me.

Good experience. Prompt service with a smile and happy atmosphere. First time in DC so good start to our trip.

This is how you Birthday! Benihana brings back so many memories and most of them are good! I've always enjoyed the food and the show. The bad: It's a bit pricy and while I'm not against spending a couple bucks on a good meal, you're paying for the show. The decor is original and a little tired. It certainly looks like a Benihana at the Bethesda location, but it could use a facelift. It feels outdated for a $40-$50 per person meal. The good: You leave full, so there's some value here. The food is pretty good and the entertainment is there. There's no doubt that this is a fun experience. The staff is super attentive and friendly and that's always a plus. Overall: I think celebrating an event here with family is exactly what Benihana is made for. They do a good job of making you feel welcome and providing a fun atmosphere. I'm not sure I would go on a random Tuesday, but I would come back for a birthday.

Before I get into why I chose this rating; I would like to say we had a wonderful waitress and so was our teppanyaki chef. With the tables being so close it can get a bit noisy when you have 2/3 different parties sitting in same location. We came in for lunch so it was fairly clean. Tho some of the menus could use a wipe down as they where sticky. Now let's get into the food. I had the soup. It's very salty also very disappointing almost felt like it a a watered down broth. The salad their dressing was overpowering to the point I didn't even bother finishing the salad and my kids didn't touch it after one bite. As for some of the meats. I feel like it lacked some flavors. The chicken and steak; which my kids got. I opt out of those and got the spicy shrimp. It was amazingly good. The downfall of all this is you get more onions than any other vegetables which really we are being over charged to eat more onions than anything else really. Compared to other places I've been this sadly wouldn't be my top pick.

Benihana--AMAZING place, folks! Great food, great vibes, and the chefs? Incredible showmanship. Unlike other places, they've kept prices reasonable (smart business, very smart). A true WIN for the American people in these tough times. Love it. So good!

Dog friendly!!!! Let's start a puppy happy hour!!! Looks like the health department gave these guys a pass. SO this cute little doggy was not only at the bar area but even got to come into the dinning room to join their human owners at the dinner table. I'm gonna try to arrange a doggy dinner party next weekend. It'll be our Louie's 3rd birthday and he loves him some chicken fried rice!!! Maybe they can put together a menu just for the pooches :-)
