Benihana

Amazing Experience at Benihana – Ask for Tony Too Much! I had an incredible dining experience at Benihana in the Fashion Show Mall. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. The entire team made sure we felt taken care of, which really set the tone for a great night. The highlight of the evening was definitely our chef, Tony Too Much! He’s not just a chef, he’s a performer. He cooked everything right in front of us with impressive skills and hilarious jokes, keeping the entire table entertained from start to finish. I couldn’t stop laughing! The energy he brings to the experience is something you don’t get at just any restaurant. The food was excellent, as always. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience in Vegas that combines great food with entertainment, Benihana is a must-visit. And if you want to take it up a notch, definitely ask for Tony Too Much; you won’t regret it! Can’t wait to go back!

We had the pleasure of dining here with Damian as our hibachi chef. I felt like I worked off all the calories I ate just from laughing so hard at his jokes during the hibachi performance! Not only did he have our entire table rolling with laughter the whole time, the food was also incredible. I swear the jumbo shrimp are some of the best I've ever had, and my steak was cooked to perfection. The fried rice was garlicky and so yummy. I also recommend the mango lemonade for a great non-alcoholic drink option! Our server was also great and so quick with everything we needed. The staff members that stopped by our table while we ate were personable and friendly and even played along with some of our chef's jokes, which made the atmosphere of the restaurant feel welcoming and fun. We had a group of 15 and I was impressed with how last minute they were able to accommodate us (I called around 5:00 to try to make a reservation and they had us in and seated by 8:20, when we had showed up at 8:00)! Highly recommend eating here for a fun dining experience. (It was a friend's 28th birthday in our group, hence the rice in the photo).

It wasn’t a great experience and felt like a waste of time and money. If I could, I would rate it less than one star. I recommend trying another hibachi place, as this was one of the most disappointing hibachi visits I’ve had. The food was overly buttered and too salty for my taste. As for the hibachi performance, I could tell that the chef wasn’t fully engaged that night. His smiles felt a bit forced, mostly when asking kids to take pictures with him. He missed his tools several times, which made me feel worried rather enjoying. The chef also made a barrier in the middle of the grill with bowls and only performed on one side of the grill. Unfortunately, I was seated on the other side and could only watch others enjoying the show. It seemed like he assumed we weren’t interested, but who goes to hibachi just to eat and chat? A great hibachi chef should captivate all customers with professionalism and engaging skills, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. I appreciate the server who brought us water and drinks multiple times. The one star is for her.

Came here on my second night in Vegas on a solo work trip. Our table was lucky to have Chef Vic, he was amazing and the food was cooked perfectly! I enjoyed everything and the complimentary soup was such a nice treat! The location is great too!

First time coming to a habachi place, though I didn't experience it, it looked fun and should be a good experience. The $39 menu was a good deal. Starters and appetizers (dragon roll) were great. The main course was salty and couldn't finish. The rainbow sorbet is good.

I decided to try Benihana in Las Vegas after receiving a $30 birthday certificate, and the entire experience was a disaster. The host initially suggested the $39 tasting menu and told us we could use the birthday certificate if we sat in the bar or lounge area instead of at the hibachi grill. However, once our server finally arrived—more than 10 minutes later in an almost empty restaurant—he informed us we actually could not use the certificate on the tasting menu. That completely contradicted what the host had told us. We ended up in the lounge thinking we would order the tasting menu, but instead had to switch to the regular menu—losing out on the hibachi experience altogether. When the server did show up, he was immediately rambunctious and invasive—his first words to my partner were, “What’s wrong with you? Under the weather? Want a Red Bull?” And this was at 5:30 PM! After disappearing for another 15 minutes, I had to involve someone who appeared to be a manager just to track him down again. We eventually ordered Seafood Diablo ($46), a single lobster tail ($28), and a Mango Colada ($11). Despite the place being nearly empty, our food took forever to arrive. The dining area was freezing, the seats were uncomfortable, and I ended up standing just to wait for our order. The server never cleared our table after we finished our soup and salad; I had to stack the empty bowls myself and move them aside. When the dishes finally came, the food was extremely salty and oily, and the udon was overcooked. Our supposed “5-course meal” only included soup, salad, and a main dish—nothing else was served. We couldn’t even get water refills without going to the bar ourselves. Worse yet, I noticed the cook spraying some kind of substance onto the fan directly above the grill, which could have easily drifted down onto our food. And to top it all off, everything was outrageously overpriced compared to its quality. Spending $46 on an overly salty dish, $28 for a single (tiny) lobster tail, and $11 for a so-so drink is downright ridiculous when the food and service are this poor. Overall, my birthday dinner was ruined by poor communication, inattentive service, and subpar, overpriced food. I definitely won’t be returning, and I can’t recommend Benihana to anyone looking for a pleasant or reliable dining experience.

Review: A Stellar Dining Experience at Benihana I recently dined at Benihana, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a delightful evening. The décor, with its authentic Japanese touches and serene ambiance, created a perfect backdrop for the dining experience. The food was simply outstanding. Every dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. The lobster was incredibly fresh, with each bite melting in my mouth, while the hibachi dishes were cooked to perfection. Watching the skilled chefs prepare our meals right in front of us was not only entertaining but also showcased their mastery of the craft. The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were well-balanced, with a perfect blend of traditional Japanese spices and contemporary twists. The service was equally commendable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions about the menu or make recommendations. They ensured our drinks were refilled promptly and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, Benihana exceeded all my expectations. Whether you're there for a casual meal or a special occasion, it offers an unforgettable combination of great food, top-notch service, and a lively yet relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Chef Derek was very professional with a great personality that filled the room with laughter. And brought a table of strangers together to enjoy a meal. Waiter Doran was very professional And ensure that our table is taken care of with a smile on his face.

I have went to several locations and this is by far the best experience we have ever had. The food tasted better and the service, from the front door throughout the restaurant, was pleasant and friendly. Our server was very attentive, and our cook Damian put on the best show ever for my daughters 14 bday.

Great experience. Thanks to April and Z me and my friend has a great time. .

April was very professional and accommodating of our party and Z helped us get everything settled for a great meal. The vibe and music were really nice too.

Great happy hour here! Food items $3-$12 each, everything we tried was high quality and delicious! Normal portion size too, from what I could tell. In addition to the sushi rolls pictured, we had the edamame, pork gyoza, and vegetable spring rolls, YUM. Drinks ranged from $6-$12, including a large hot sake that hit the spot on a cold evening. Nice, friendly bartender (unfortunately I didn't catch her name) and lovely views from the bar, looking out at the Wynn greenery across the Strip. Happy hour runs 3-6pm, M-F in the bar and lounge area which were not too crowded when we arrived around 5:30pm on a Monday but were bustling by the time we left around 7. Wonderful dinner overall, will definitely be back to try the full hibachi experience!

Food 3.5/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Chef Johnny was 10/10. Made the experience all that better.

Always a great time at Benihana on Las Vegas Blvd located in the Fashion Mall. Thanks Jasmine C. for the great service. You were our server a few years ago and still a great server today.

Such an amazing experience food was absolutely delicious. The whole experience was incredible. The environment was such as great vibe. The show while your foods getting cooked was amazing service. I highly recommend everyone to come out and see what the hype's about. Differently will be returning. If you see me say hi cheers.

I really wanted to be excited about this place but I just wasn't. It was way overpriced and our waiter was I think the bartender. And good thing I'm very particular and read the descriptions on what we ordered because I asked if my meal came with soup and he looked at me confused and had to check on it. I felt like he just wasn't really engaging and just felt like he was just there to just take our order. Not really explaining anything or making it a very nice experience. It was as if he was forced to take care of us. The food was good but the portions were so small, I thought for the price we pay I would be so stuffed but we weren't.

We came to this location for my husbands birthday celebration and ended up with the best Chef in the place! Paulo is the man! His presentation was entertaining, fun, funny & engaging. Now for the food! Paulo seasoned every single item he cooked to perfection. Everyone including myself was not just satisfied but stuffed to capacity! Paulo hands down created our very best Benihana expression of all times! Great job Paulo!

I was gonna give a lower rating because the wait was horrible even with a reservation! But Chef Edwin A. Made up for it! He made the experience so damn fun. He had lights and tricks and made us all laugh. It was such a fun experience. The food was so good too. That fried rice lived up to the hype. Id go back to this location if I can specifically ask for the same Chef.

The food was amazing, the spicy fried rice was so good perfectly done. The steak was great everything was, Eric was our chef and he's the best I've ever had here. I will defently be back. The staff were great, great customer service. It's a little loud in there especially when there's a birthday and sometimes can be a little smoky from them cooking in front of you but over all this is my fav place to go for special occasions.

The entire ambience was amazing. Jasmine C. service was attentive and friendly. Chef Paolo is an incredible cook. He made our food to a perfection. Overall satisfying and fun with the experience here. I will definitely be back.

We came here for our annual Christmas brunch with my inlaws. The restaurant was clean and spacious, located on the outside of the Fashion Show Mall. Our chef was awesome keeping us entertained while cooking. I ordered a steak and shrimp teppanyaki and it was delicious! I also ordered a fishbowl cranberry sangria which was also delicious. It was huge that I had to share it with my husband!

Service was top notch. We really enjoyed our meal by Edwin and Tammy. They really made us feel welcomed and explained the menu since it was our first time. The food was cooked perfectly and with some flair added making the experience memorable.

Tammy and Edwin the chef are very much recommended for great fun service and hospitality I had such a time

Great food, the lobster was insane and our chef, Angel was so fun! What a fabulous time

Best chef in town come and see Chef Tony_toomuch IG best show ever and food is fire seasoned on point.

It was my first time here and the food was amazing. We had Tammy as our server and Edwin as the chef. It was a really good first impression of this restaurant. Everything was super clean and there wasn't much of a wait time to be seated. We came at 9:30 and were served with so much attention even though it wasn't stereotypical dinner hours.

We had such a great time! @tony_toomuch was wonderful and made our meal so much fun. Accommodated afood allergy and personal tastes. One of our favorite family spots on the strip. Great atmosphere and wonderful service!

Pretty standard benihana experience. Wait time was a little longer than expected, but with how busy they were we weren't shocked by it. One thing we found interesting about this location vs others is each chef had their own little gimmick unlike most other locations that all have the same shtick. Food was prepared well, and with plenty of chuckles. Was very happy that the chef lislistened with my Tuna steak order, they normally over cook it and the chef we had nailed it.

I ordered 2 orders of chicken fried rice with steak delivered to my house and it was THE WORST fried rice I ever had in my life!! I had eaten a at Benihana many times before in the past, and it was super delicious. The stuff that I received was absolutely horrible. It was dry and mushy. The portion was half what you get at the teppanyaki table. There was barely any egg at all. Waste of money!!

By far the best experience I've ever had at a Benihana. The head chef was our cook and the level of care he took with not only making our food but with the plating as well. The food was seasoned very well, honestly better than any hibachi I've ever been to. He even helped clean the plate so that I could take a good picture!!

Amazing service and very entertaining!! The wagyu recommendation from Tammy was on point and the service and entertainment from Emmi was hilarious and delicious!

I called about a month ago for a reservation for a large party. There were people in party that came late so I appreciate the restaurant for being so accommodating. We were able to get drinks at the bar while we waited for the rest of the party. Our party got split into two tables. Huge shout out to Emmi for making the experience memorable. He has probably been my favorite chef ever! He was super entertaining and kept the group engaged. Someone in our group had a shrimp allergy so he waited until the very end to cook the shrimp so it didn't cross contaminate with the other food. That was extremely thoughtful and I appreciate that so much. The food was solid! I would recommend the chateau briand if you're looking for a steak. It's super tender and big enough to share. The sushi was just okay. The chili ponzu yellowtail roll was okay but nothing crazy. I would not get the salmon carpaccio again. It lacked sauce which was weird. It was just salmon sashimi with a little bit of mayo on top. What really lacked for me was the service. Our server would ask us for what we needed then be gone for a long time. She would come back and not bring back the stuff we asked her for. I understand it's busy but the waitress that helped our other group of friends seemed more efficient. We had to ask her for help since we had a hard time finding our server.

My son and I came here for dinner on a Saturday. We had reservations for 7pm and were seated promptly. Chef Derek was amazing - food was cooked perfectly (Chateaubriand was medium rare), flavor was on point and food was not dry. Server was nice, friendly and checked on us regularly. Located at the Fashion Show Mall - ambiance is different (more casual) than the location at Westgate casino. Price is the same as other Benihana locations. Would return here.

Chet Tony is simply amazing. He makes the entire meal an event. We have dined with him many times and every meal was prepared perfectly and deliciously. He cooks everything just the way you like it because he cares.

I love all tepanyaki restaurants. Benihana inside west gate is the biggest and most beautiful. There's a beautiful lounge to meet and have a cocktail, a sushi bar to order only sushi and plenty of photo ops. My only request is that Benihana needs to sell their garlic butter either at the restaurant or at all nearest grocery stores!

Restaurant was good, clean kind of pricey, but worth the price the food was good I mean, what did I expect when I went on a strip the service was A1

The price has gone way up and much less food. Disappointing fried rice and shrimp portions. For repeat customers we know drill and easily notice the difference.

Chef Emmi. Awesome job, fun and funny. The chef knocked over a glass near the food. He had all the food on the cart thrown out and me food brought out. The show was good, the chef was pretty funny and the food was delicious. When I got my check. It was -$24 to my surprise. The manager had already removed the cost. So I made sure they got a great tip.

Great visit for some birthdays while visiting Las Vegas. We had a party of 7, which is the perfect amount to fill our own table at a grill. Our reservation was for 7:45 p.m., but we arrived early, they were able to accommodate us early. Everything from beginning to end was perfect, the service was amazing, the food spectacular, and the location itself is just gorgeous. Conveniently located inside the Westgate on the strip. I had the steak teppanyaki, and my husband tried and loved the Ahi tuna. For drinks we had the Tokyo mule, and an old-fashioned. My friend had a Mai Tai and the chicken. I absolutely recommend this location for a special dinner off the primary part of the strip, and you can take the monorail to get there.

My first time enjoying the full experience at Benihana on Christmas Day. Wait time on Christmas Day even with a reservation was an hour long. They didn't take walkins but I don't think there was a time limit either for each group. Being the only vegetarian in the group it was relatively easy to order and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We shared a large table with another family but it didn't feel weird. The chef was also extremely emphatic with young kids and made sure kids had enough to eat. The drinks though were not too good and I was charged for drinks that I ordered but they couldn't make. Otherwise it was a great experience. You clothing though will become smokey after dinner so plan ahead.

We went to celebrate my mother's birthday with the rest of my family. Super easy process to do the reservation through Opentable. They called me to confirm and did the special request for a booster. Once we got there, we got to our table so fast! Our chef Calvin, made everything so special for my toddler as she was amazed by the whole experience. My mom enjoyed the food and the show so I can't thank the staff enough!

Edwin G and Caesar were amazing!!! Food was great, drinks were strong!! Good times!!!!!

During our most recent visit to Vegas, we decided on Benihana for dinner. Reservations are super easy to make on OpenTable. This Benihana is located at the Fashion Mall on the strip, across the street from Wynn. It was quite large and modernly decorated. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation time and were promptly sat. Our server was not the most friendliest and had a dry personality, but she was quick and efficient. We placed our drink and food order and about 15 minutes later, the chef arrived and the show began. The chef was super friendly and gave a great performance. Our food was perfectly cooked. Main downside is that the section we were sitting in, was super hot. We were in the section that had a wall behind us, so ventilation wasn't great. We were sweating before the show even began. Because of this, we quickly ate and left. Next time, I'll be sure to avoid that section!

I've been to many Benihana's over the years, this is far the best one to visit. Our cook Chef Tony was the best, he has us laughing the whole time while we was eating. So if you guys eat @ Benihana in Las Vegas please ask for Chef Tony I placed a photo with this review when I say I really enjoyed myself I ready did. Thanks Chef Tony for showing us a great time Happy Customer

First experience was amazing Chef Panda (Edgar) and Tammy made it a very memorable night!

Always a great meal with great ambience. Lunch specials are generous and delicious! Scott took good care of us. Not much detail, i know, but you'll not be disappointed!

We had an excellent chef named Damian. He was one of the funniest chefs we have had at Benihana. We have eaten at several Benihana locations in many states over several decades so this was pretty special. Damian was super animated as well. The food was wonderful as usual. The ambiance is like that of any other Benihana. Chefs are performing all around the room. Patrons are clearly enjoying themselves showing expressions of awe during their cooking experience. We highly recommend this location because Damian is wonderful!

Paulo make me laugh a lot , he is the best of the best , first time a the Vegas and definitely come back soon

Tony and Jazmin are the best , food was amazing !!!! We will for sure come again Next time we're in Vegas

This is a review for Super Bowl weekend. My family and I went for lunch on a Friday afternoon. When we arrived, we waited in line and were seated. We decided to go on Friday afternoon, because we expected it to be very busy once everyone arrived for the weekend. Our chef was named Tony too much, and the name says it all. He has an amazing personality. Just writing about my visit is making me smile. I have been to other Benihana's, but he is really providing top-notch service, personality, and he's even a comedian. I can tell the other patrons were looking and wishing that they were at the table with us. There was a special occasion menu that I ordered from. I ordered the 5 course Specialty meal. The food was amazing as usual. I definitely took leftovers with me. I ordered a drink called a Whiskey Smash. The drink was amazing. The manager Marvin came to inquire how everything was. I told him everything was amazing and that Tony is an amazing host. I will definitely go again on my next visit to Las Vegas.

Damion was literally the best, made our experience perfect! When i come back we will be asking for him

Benihana might be the best chain restaurant. I guess it depends on how you feel about a del friscos or Ruth's cris but steakhouses are different. The chefs are better. They make less mistakes (cough musashi cough). The sauces are perfect. Seriously that ginger sauce is the best sauce of all time. The fried rice is the best you can get. And it's reasonably priced. Don't hate on Benihana just because your parents took you there for special occasions or whatever.

Great experience! Paulo was very entertaining and was great at what he does. I've been to other Benihana's and this was the best cook and service. I definitely would return.

We had such great service! Our cook Edgar was amazing. He's the best! When you get there ask for Chef Panda!!

This is a fun interactive place and the service was great. This is a place I'd say the food doesn't quite match the prices.

My group had a great time and our chef Edgar was amazing. Thanks for a great dining experience.

Amazing experience and the food was excellent. Thanks Damian for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back. - "Six7" and my music artist 2X Grammy Award winner singer Mr. Jerry Bell
