Reservation was at 8:00 PM. We were first given complete disrespect and attitude from the bartender and coworker. We were seated at 9 and still didn't get a chef at our table until after 10 (when they close). Ridiculous to tell us we were getting seated just not to get any sort of food or notice. The bartendress and coworker both need to be reevaluated. read more

Had a reservation at 8, were seated at 8:45, chef finally came over to us at 9:45. Enough said. Benihana is a great chain but this specific location does not have their stuff together. Large female bartender has an attitude as well, will not be returning anytime soon read more

Not much I can add that hasn't already been said. It's a great experience, great food. It's a little loud, but it's a great place to take a group of people. I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic spot, but it a great group activity or celebration place. Quality Asian food, very tasty. read more

This was my first Benihana experience - the food was good but felt overpriced. This place is really about the experience. We were seated with another party because our family of 5 didn't fill a full seating area around a grill. The real kicker of this experience -- the cook who was tossing the knives, etc...... dropped a knife that had been flying the air. It hit a glass of wine, which spilled all over the child that was sitting at our table. Luckily it wasn't worse. And lucky for the cook, the parents were super laid back.... Someone ended up coming over and swapping out spots for the cook. Awkward.... I don't think I'd go back. read more

I came in for my 7:00 reservation to be greeted with a PACKED lobby- understandable around Valentines Day. We proceeded to be told that we would have to wait for the next table to open up. As a large scale restaurant manager- this is nothing short of disappointing, reservations should be prioritized over walk ins. We waited for almost 40 minutes before getting sat. We then waited another hour for the chef to come to the table. Alex was great, but stale jokes that I already read in these reviews. Once the chef got to the table he started cooking with this disgustingly used spatula. I ordered Yakisoba noodles only to be told as my food was being placed on my plate that they didn't actually have any more Yakisoba noodles. Mediocre food for inflated prices. I understand this is not the chef, host, or servers fault- it seems this establishment is in desperate need of some decent management. This was my first and last visit to Benihana's. read more

Nick and Jesus were a wonderful team! Even though it was a busy Friday night Nick made sure our table always had drinks and anything we needed. He even asked the chef (Jesus) if he wanted water---I have never seen a waiter do this at Benihana and I thought it was very thoughtful. Nick has a great personality and you can tell her enjoyed bein with the customers. Our chef, Jesus cooked delicious food and was very considerate of our children's experience. What a great time at Benihana tonight! read more

as always Benihana gave us a great experience as we cel our 40th anniversary with our kids and their partners. Nick was our server and Ren was our chef and they were friendly and eager to serve. the food was delicious as always and it's so entertaining to watch it being prepared. This is our go to place for a celebration meal. read more

Called at 12:15 They insisted only reservation was at 12:30 so we rushed out the door to get there on time. Arrived at 12:27 Reservation 12:30 Seated 1pm Cook arrived at table 1:30 So annoying. read more

Walked into restaurant yesterday 6/27/24 around 1500 was greeted by staff and the manager like normal, then as we checked in the manager asked if we have been there before and we answered yes. I also made a comment about being there last night for a birthday and the manager commented back to me calling me a fatty and laughed, then as we were leaving he asked if I was going to come back tomorrow.. Whether he was joking or not saying that to a customer is extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. read more

This is such a poorly run location. They always take more reservations than they can handle, and never apologize for anything because they're virtually the only show in town and can do whatever they want. Never bring out veggies for kids' meals. Bunch of older female waitresses who just can't handle the job of serving. Had a lunch reso today and was seated 30 mins after our reso (we arrived on time). Had to flag down a waiter after 15 mins. During COVID, I ordered pick-up and was charged twice. Store supervisor called me after I emailed them, said she would send me a giftcard (my order was messed up anyways, the crispy rice sushi was missing ingredients) and reverse the double charge. She did neither! Had to dispute the charge. Never got a gift card. Never had anyone follow up. And this was escalated to management! Hope one day the other Aoki son or someone opens up a competing restaurant in the area that will do things right! read more

Roman was such a fun and amazing chef and entertainer! He made us laugh like crazy!!! The server "Aaron" Jose was cutting off my husband for no reason. He had 1 drink at the bar while we waited but once we got to the table he was hesitant for some reason to serve him. read more

Walked in- and there were two hostesses in the front. One was on the phone and one was just standing behind the girl on the phone. No one else was in the lobby but us and it took them a good while to even look up and greet us. Food-was great as usual, minus the shrimp that was not deveined. Apart from the lack of being welcomed upon entering as while waiting, our server was great and quick to provide what we needed. read more

I had a great first experience with our server Karim and chef Sam. Loved the onion volcano and train. Thanks guys!

We were there yesterday at 3:30 and the table next door had these loud, screaming little girls whose young mom did NOT control or discipline them! It didn't help that the chef was yelling in return, which spurred the younger brat even more. This was out 1st time and an expensive meal. read more

Went for a friends birthday. We had a party of 16 (yes is a lot) and they had a reservation for 8:30. We didn't get seated until 10:15, and they had a chef arrived at our table at 11:20! The chefs didn't even do tricks because they just wanted to go home, and i don't blame them. They quickly got us to-go boxes. I felt bad for my friend because his birthday wasn't a hit! read more

Ordered $60 under their "Ra Sushi" name and are super disappointed. We could have gotten the local sushi track place and had way better food, way more food, and way more affordable food. Will not be returning customers under this label. read more

Benihana - Beaverton - $60 of sushi, fried rice and edamame - Sushi Bars Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Recently celebrated a birthday here. They will not seat you unless your entire party is there with you. (Understandable) They do have you wait outside until you're ready to be seated. Seems like everyone is pretty well spaced out at all the tables. Masks are required of course unless you are eating. We had a fun experience and want to return in the near future. Our chef was fantastic. She had a great sense of humor and kept us laughing the entire time. Our food was cooked perfectly and we left very full and satisfied. Tip - join the email list and you get a pretty awesome birthday coupon! Well worth it! read more

I did not receive my add on chicken nor my 2 yum yum sauces. When I called I was told oh you will have to contact Uber Eats. Uber eats didn't leave my food out Benihana did. Keyon's says well you can come pick up your missing items or reorder through uber eats. So I am going to get charge again to get the rest of my food? read more

We had a reservation for 6 oclock and didn't get sat down until 7:15 and not served until 7:30. The entire waiting room and entrance was packed with people waiting past when there reservations were booked. The food is excellent but very understaffed, and very unexceptional for a 60-70 dollar a person meal. This has happened more than once at this location. read more

Both years I've went on my birthday to use the coupon always have problems. And also both times the cook did not do anything compared to the ones around us very disappointing. read more

Brandon was a super good server and he had really funny jokes and overall a great experience

This review is for the happy hour. Granted, my expectations were based on a long ago visit, but the food was poorly prepared (soggy soft shell crab, hacked up pieces of fish) and not especially tasty. Prices were high to boot! I live in Chicago and the happy hour discount prices were the same or more expensive than regular prices at home. The space looked tired and I saw stains on the wall next to our table. Our server was nice enough and food came out quickly (hence the two stars), but we spent $40 during happy hour and felt we needed to eat immediately afterwards. Don't bother. read more

I feel like its hit or miss when coming here. I usually come here once a year for birthdays. One thing to remember is that if you are hungry, it might be a good idea to sit on the sushi side or order some while waiting for the main course. I say this because we had reservations at 8 PM and was able to be seated at that time (which was pretty good), but our table chef did not come out to cook until 8:49pm. We did get a little soup and salad around 8:35pm. Once the chef was at the table, he started cooking and we got some food at 9pm. The food itself was decent, but people come also come for the showmanship of food being prepared. I had the Emperor's Feast, which came with filet mignon and chicken breast. Again, the long wait was not great and worth it. Our server was very friendly and polite, but that only goes so far. read more

This is a fun experience. You have a full menu and also 5/6 course meals. Appetizers, soup and salad, main, and dessert. They cook it all in front of you which is super cool and a fun time. The chefs put on a little show with their skills and make it a good time. I do think it's quiet spendy, but for special occasions it's nice. I usually get the steak and scallops but this last time I got steak and lobster. I'm always so impressed with how perfect they cook their steak! Seriously 100% perfectly cooked. It's amazing! And they cut it up into bite sizes for you which is nice so you can stay fancy. Seafood tastes fresh and I think is good quality but I'm not too familiar with seafood quality. But judging by price, it's good. During Covid they have spread put the tables and make sure you're not close to anyone. Wipe everything down and all have masks. I felt good eating there. read more

I've loved Benihana for decades. Today I popped in to enjoy a late lunch + glass of wine. I seated myself at the bar, and the bartender completely ignored me, although it was almost empty. A second bartender finally arrived and presented me with the crappiest new menu...very few enjoyable options! Most staff were wearing masks + gloves, felt like COVID nightmare days. I left without ordering and won't be back anytime soon. read more

I made a reservation for Monday for 7:15 for a birthday dinner. Our group of 3 was there at 7:15 to be told by incredibly rude staff that they were running behind. We got seated at 7:40. And proceeded to sit there, another party of 3 on one side of us and a party of 2 on the other side. We had a 9 year old with us who was starving. When we ordered, we ordered him a sushi roll with the hope he could get something in his belly. And we proceeded to wait. And wait. And wait. I have an allergy to onions and waitress said she would bring miso soup instead of onion soup and then didn't. I got the same onion soup as the rest of the group. When she came back w salads she brought the salad w the onion dressing that she said she would leave off. At 8:40 we asked a waitress on one of her rare trips to our table why we didn't at least have the roll. At nearly 9pm the roll finally came. And at 9:10 (nearly two hours after our reservation time) a cook finally came to our table. And the first thing out of his mouth was "sorry about the slow service, you know how bad traffic can be on 215". At this point we got up and left. I'm not about to pay $60 per person to have staff be rude and joke about it. The party of two next to us decided to leave as well. And the waitress decided to try and charge them for the soup and salad she had brought while they waited 2 hours. Do better Benihana. While 3 people might not be a big deal for you... it completely ruined someone's bday dinner. And you've lost this customer for life. You offered no solutions. Epic fail on your part read more

Nice staff and good food. The restaurant overbooks so an hour wait past your reservation time isn't unusual. Service can be slow when busy. Give yourself 3 hours for dinner, or eat in the bar if in a hurry. read more

6:45 Reservation, seated at 7:30 had to sit and visit while waiting to fill table. I Coud Not Believe what was Served as Soup and Salad! Soup Beef Broth with Fresh Sliced Mushroom and Green Onion? Salad Iceberg Lettuce, Shredded Carrot and a mystery Dressing? Entree Prep Thankfully Entertaining! Spatula flipping, Knife etc... Hard to Watch my Seafood being Overcooked, First and Last Visit.

I have been to Benihana's several times, but this is my first time dining here for lunch. It is such a great value. I had the lunch boat, which I believe was $14 and came, with miso soup, salad, sashimi, California roll, grilled Salmon, rice and fruit. All were delicious. I think the miso soup was one of the best I have ever had as they put fried onions in it. Not traditional but nice touch. The entire staff spewed hospitality. We sat on the deck, and there was no more umbrellas, multiple staff members assisted moving our table so we could get as much shade as possible. Everyone that walked by our table was always smiling and seemed that they genuinely enjoyed their job. I realize that the big draw here is the Hibachi, but I would not discount them for lunch. read more

I have been to numerous Benihana restaurants around the US. This was the best all round experience I have had at any location. Even during this covid ridiculousness it was amazing. Amy, our chef, has worked there 5+ years and cooked every dish to perfection. When I go to eat here I expect a certain level of satisfaction with my experience and food. She exceeded my expectations and has set a new level. Not only was she the best chef I've had as far as her cooking, her personality and jokes were awesome and I've kept a few in my memory bank; she was hilarious :) Excellent job in every way at this location. read more

Pathetic customer service from the manager, Mickey. Came here for my son's college graduation. We had a large party (14) reservation booked in advance and verbally confirmed over the phone the day before. When we arrive we are told they are an hour behind but they planned to seat us at a table that was finishing up so that we could sit together. 40 minutes later we noticed that another party was seated in the table allegedly designated for our party. When I asked Mickey what happened to us being seated he told me, first he didn't know what happen, second he said that we were bumped from the table "by another manager" and that we would have to wait for another table. No timeframe was given and he was unbothered that we were at that point an hour past our reservation time. He then said he could sit half the party now but didn't know when the rest could be seated. No real resolution or apology. When I asked how he would fix what was clearly something they messed up, he said there was nothing he could do. Needless to say, we took our business elsewhere. I do want to note that the other staff at the restaurant were helpful and seemed to genuinely care. read more

We had a great time celebrating my wife's birthday. Our chef was great and very entertaining. The food was great too.

Called Benihana at 4pm to make a reservation for 8pm. Drive 40 minutes Show up they say "we are under staffed it's gonna be at least another hour wait"! With reservations? Yes ok what is the point of a reservation! How is it the more advanced this earth gets the more unreliable humans get? Replace the humans with robots or whatever you're going to do, to make a reservation....a reservation! 10 20 minutes...whatever ok I understand. An hour, you got to be trippin. Annnd the whole entrance was packed with other people who had reservations waiting and they're all pissed! PORTLAND stop waiting for hours, lined up all around the block to eat! Restaurants could give a F*;k! Took my ass to Cheesecake Factory and had a great meal. Great service in and out in an hour! Never again Benihana you're gimmick anyways! Not that good read more

Pro tip - if you sign up for their emails you get a $30 gift cert to use towards your birthday dinner so you basically eat for free! The service here has really gotten way better and everyone is super nice and fast! Whether you sit in the sushi bar or the main restaurant and get the show, you will have a grand time. You should definitely do the show portion at least once - its pretty fun and the cooks are very entertaining. We usually just hit the sushi bar though because we are HUNGRY! This is what you need to be eating here because they will feed you LOTS! read more

The show was cute and the staff amazing. It's definitely a fun experience going there. There's always a diverse and fun group of patrons. The sushi is amazing and large rolls. So fresh. Dinner was very good and the cook let's you call how cooked you want something. So everything is done to your specifications. You can't go wrong. The steak was melt in your mouth. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. It is pricy but the entertainment and quality of food is definitely worth it. read more

I'm pretty patient with a slip up here and there, but in the past several times I've ordered door dash from here the meals have been blatantly incorrectly prepared. The first time I ordered hibatchi steak I ordered it medium rare and received well done, and the second time I ordered it rare I once again received well done. In addition, the second time I ordered chicken fried rice and the fried rice came without chicken and on the first order the salad was missing the dressing. The food was otherwise palatable but I am out of patience with this blatant lack of care when preparing food. I will be ordering from Izumi going forward. read more

Food is so good but tonight we ordered shrimp yakisoba to go and my sister mentioned that she had maybe one shrimp in her dish... I hadn't eaten yet so I searched through mine and found only a few tiny pieces as well. Paying $34 for SHRIMP yakisoba means that there should probably be more than one shrimp in the dish. It's honestly so ridiculous and sad that this is the quality you get when you get takeout. read more
