Can you give negative stars? This is these worst restaurant out of the chain. Awful management. They couldn't get an order out on time if their life depended on it. Warning: go somewhere else. read more

The food didn't make me sick and that's a plus. Everything was incredibly salty, almost like they dipped everything in the Dead Sea before cooking it. The soup, ginger salad dressing, and main dish were leaving me more dehydrated than I came in. The food quality has significantly dropped while the prices jumped. The only reason I went was because my wife had a birthday certificate.... I would have rather still went somewhere else. Service was incredibly slow. This location used to be great but they went downhill like most of the local Benihanas read more

Visited for dinner. Sweet staff! Drinks were good. Loved our hibachi chef Gabe! He was super personable and efficient. He paid close attention to details and how I wanted my rice and veggies prepared being that I do not like mushrooms or eggs. Even with a big group, he ensured we were taken care of and that our food was cooked to our liking. It was nice and quiet for a Friday creating a peaceful evening which I loved. read more

Benihana - Boca Raton - HIBACHI STEAK* RICE (Serves 1) with SALMON A LA CARTE - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I'm a big fan of hibachi and have had some awesome experiences at other Benihana locations, but this was my first time at this one -- and honestly, I wouldn't come back. I hyped it up to my friends (some of them had never been before), and I ended up feeling pretty embarrassed. It was my birthday, and when they asked if we were celebrating anything, I let them know -- but after that, nothing. No birthday wish, no little celebration, not even a mention. They wrote it down and that was it. Our chef never introduced himself, barely interacted with us, and just seemed checked out. He didn't even have a name tag. He would toss good food away that we definitely would've eaten -- I literally had to jump in a few times like, "Hey, I'll eat that!" Just felt super awkward. He couldn't execute on any of the fun parts. Even the simple volcano was a fail. We all felt bad for him because it seemed as if he wasn't trained at all. We came to celebrate and ended up at a sorry performance. He had shrimp just sitting off to the side drying out the whole time, and after everything was cooked and served, he finally offered the leftover shrimp when it was rubbery and tasteless. We also ordered steaks medium rare and had to tell him ourselves when they were done -- it honestly felt like it might've been his first day or something. Super slow, no energy, no fun vibe. Overall just a bummer of an experience, especially since it was my birthday and I had brought my friends expecting the usual lively, fun Benihana night. Disappointed would be an understatement read more

Not the Experience We Were Hoping For I've been to Benihana locations before and typically enjoy the experience, but our visit to the Glades Road location in Boca Raton was disappointing from start to finish. Our chef was, unfortunately, the biggest letdown of the night. Instead of creating the fun and engaging atmosphere you expect at Benihana, they made us feel high-maintenance and like a bother for even being there. It put a damper on the whole table's mood. The food didn't do much to redeem the experience either--bland and less than desirable. Adding insult to injury, the drinks were slow to come out, and our sushi appetizers were not only subpar but also took 15 minutes to get basic soy sauce for the table. For the price point and reputation of Benihana, this was far from acceptable. Sadly, I can't recommend this location after this visit. read more

Benihana - Boca Raton - Grill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Adolfo was the greatest!! Great food and he was wonderful. I would recommend booking his table!

It was horrible to see the chef Adolfo mistreat the waiter in front of us. The chef was very rude and brought all his bad mood to the table and the food. We were celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary and it was supposed to be a pleasant experience. We called the manager and reported the rude way the chef treated the waiter, it was unacceptable. We felt really bad for the waiter, and he was trying so hard to please us and make us feel comfortable. The chef really humiliated the waiter. This happened on the Benihana in Glades with 441. I hope the chef really change his heart or go find something else to do in life. read more

Just wanted to say for all the hype/responses this restaurant receives when you mention the name. Does not match to the level of service, You would expect more from a restaurant at this caliber especially when they don't let you take pictures. Food ok Ive had better at a cheaper location. Beautiful restaurant well kept. But definitely not worth the wait. read more

Everything was spot on. Birthday guests were entertained by awesome chef Garrett. Meal was so good. Highly recommend. read more

I do not recommend. ingrid one of the many managers is disrespectful. The Miley mignonette is not a very good quality read more

Fun experience for kids but very americanized generic habachi. Ive been several times over the years from when i was 20 to now old and i havent changed my mind. And in not ssying the food is horrible but if you have any type of liking for flavor and asian spice then its definitely catered to a western palette. read more

Service was extremely slow they had to ask us if we got our soup and salad after being seated for one hour The bartender had expired menus on the bar and a well worn office chair behind the bar The place is not well maintained and up to corporate standards read more

The service here is non-existent. Waited 25 minutes to be acknowledged and to order a drink At the otherwise empty bar. Reservation at 6:30 - seated at 7:01. Never coming back. Managers should be ashamed, your employees deserve better. They get horrible tips because you've understaffed resulting in horrible service. Employees, quit immediately. Go find an establishment with higher standards and a manager that gives a dam. read more

This is the WORST Benihana's location. The front staff is so rude and argumentative. Brought it to the managers attention it think they said his name was Joe, the older Caucasian one that walks around with an iPad and a just as sassy attitude as his staff, the most memorable part was letting him know how the gestures observed and provided to us, told him the girl flipped her braids at us when we asked a simple question and he said "he didn't know what a hair flip meant"... mean while his neck and eyes was rolling as we spoke to him... do better! No respect for general questions, reservation or in general. So many people turned were upset and disappointed with this location on Sunday. Holidays are a constant prepare yourself, location and staff for holidays. read more

great experience ! come here alot over the years with my family. JEAN is an awesome chef! very friendly and delicious service. everything came out delicious :) got the shrimp hibachi, chicken fried rice, and onion soup read more

Looks like another birthday celebration at Benihana's!!!! First disappointment.... told they couldn't store my birthday cake! My last restaurant not only refrigerated it, they cut it and served it for me from the kitchen!! So my cake Sar on a side shelf next to our table till the end of dinner when I cut it myself. My birthday cake could've been used for my celebration songs by the wait staff. But, instead, a candle was on my small bowl of ice cream to blow out. Love the hibachi chef show! Don't like the communal table concept. We had six in our group and were ready to go, then was told( by a manager) that they needed to fill the last 2 seats. Wow! There were plenty of open tables for the additional seating, but no, they had to seat strangers at our table. That was disappointing. To our surprise, the cooking chef was Asian. I think that's something we did not expect as all other times they were not. He was wonderfully entertaining. Our waiter Kevin must have been waiting on other tables as he was not as attentive as I had wished he could've been. Our white rice was delivered at the end of cooking when we reminded the chef. Our check wasn't separated as requested in the beginning. Everything was resolved when I requested it the second time. Could've been better. Business was not chaotic. read more

I have to leave this review since there are so many negative reviews about service and bad attitudes. We decided to go here on a Saturday night for my youngest son's birthday (17). We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated within minutes of arriving. Our Server, Melissa, greeted our table with a smile and pleasant attitude. All through the experience we were well taken care of. The chef did a great job entertaining the entire table. My complaint is with all the obnoxious kids running around tables while the clueless parents ignored them. read more

The food was good. The service was great. Everything was going awesome. I had to surf and turf and it was cooked. Well it was fun to watch them. Cook did lots of fun stuff while I was eating. read more

High prices, fair food. way overrated take your money somewhere else. Was so disappointed and they have some nerve asking those prices. Spent $100 for three people for lunch plus tax and tip. read more

Food was cooked to perfection by Adolfo Emilio. Maybe the best chef we've ever had (and that includes the competition - the other hibachi places in the area). Adolfo is a genuine entertainer. On the drinks we've experienced some inherent hiccups, but when servers do it with a smile... everything is great. We'll definitely return read more

I love Hibachi!! Ive gotten take out from them twice and both experiences were great! I love that they have a 2 for $35 special for the Chicken & Shrimp hibachi meal (only for take out.) The ginger salad tasted very fresh and the dressing was served on the side. Next up was the vegetables, there was only zucchini and onions. Both tasted very good but I was slightly disappointed that they didn't offer more of a variety. The Chicken and shrimp were very bland but dipped in the yum yum and goody goody sauce; they tasted excellent! The fried rice was sticky, perfectly cooked and had a lot of flavor. The takeout experience even includes chop sticks and soy sauce. I was very impressed with the presentation of all of the dishes and sides for the price. The portions were large; plenty of left overs! I haven't dined here in person but the takeout option is awesome! read more

My first time trying the Benihana in Boca, and it exceeded all expectations! The service was excellent, with a friendly and attentive waiter who made sure everything was perfect. The highlight was definitely the entertaining chef at the hibachi grill, who not only cooked our dinners flawlessly but also provided an enjoyable show. The ambiance was nice .I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a fun and delicious dining experience. The food was very good, and I left thoroughly satisfied. Will definitely be returning! read more

Waited for 30 minutes at our table for a cook. The busboy took our order and had at least a third of it wrong. Waited for a long time for refills and our to go orders were incomplete and ended up leaving without our 3 orders or fried rice which is ridiculous considering we spent over $250.00. Very disappointing. No plans of ever going back read more

Everything, this is one of my favorite places to eat hibachi and this is by far the BEST location! I have been pleased and palate satiated on every visit. My favorite dish is the Trio (chicken, shrimp, steak-filet) and add a lobster tail, and please don't forget the vegetables. We have to remind them that my husband has a mushroom allergy, but we always have a wonderful time. From the food, to the service, and the ambiance, it's all great. And don't forget to take a picture! read more

HORRIBLE experience! So unorganized, quality of foods & taste. Our chicken was so tough as well as the filet Mignon. Dirty restaurant. a lot of cross contamination. I Had stomach problems that night. Spend your money else where if you don't want to get sick. Its not a true clean hibachi restaurant. They hire anyone. The prices are so RIDULOUS. Your not getting a nice free dinner anymore. Sorry, Benihana, you lost the quality, service and cleanliness of a once descent experience. read more

Been going to this spot since my last reviews. I have learned to sit away from the chefs cooking area. So, I always go straight to sitting at the bar! I wish I could remember the bartenders name, but we have gotten him a few times and love him! He is great to talk to and makes yummy drinks! Me and my boyfriend love sitting at the bar. Love the Mai Tai! I always start with a onion soup. Yum! Recently I have been getting the 24 ounce rice for my dinner HAHA it is HUGE! My boyfriend gets the Rocky's Choice. Loves it! I steal a few bites, and it is good! Always a great time at the bar! The last time I went I did get a little of that raw onion burning in my eyes, but I was lucky it was near the end of our adventure! Definitely will keep coming to this location! read more

Alexis was taking care of us and she was great! So sweet and helpful! Food is fine, kids were happy. read more

Callista was the nicest and bartender we have had all summer in FL! She was so good to us and deserves the best tips

My girlfriend, her brother, and I went for dinner. Reservation for 7:30 pm. Sat down. Waited an hour and a half for the chef to come and cook. I get it. It's Friday night and it's busy but it's ridiculous to have a table or 8 people sitting there for an hour and a half no updates. Food was aggressively mid. 2/10 experience. read more

Today was my first time ordering delivery from Benihana, and wow, they exceeded my expectations! First of all, I am so happy to have a Benihana close enough for food deliveries. Second, let's shine a spotlight at the perfect organized packaging and nice packaging presentation! I received a nice red Benihana bag, inside it had my food perfectly packaged and a small bag with utensils and condiments sealed with a Benihana label sticker. It's nice to know that they put the time and effort to care for the presentation for their customers. It's all about small details!!! Lastly, the FOOD as usual was DELICIOUS! I ordered the lunch duet with chicken and hibachi shrimp, vegetable fried rice, their Benihana onion soup and the yum yum sauce. Everything came as described, fresh, and tasted amazing like if it were cooked right in front of you at the hibachi tables at the restaurant. Food was on point and full of flavor! I will definitely order again! :) PS: They included a free green tea packet with my order, inside my utensil/condiment sealed bag. Nice touch! read more

We went tonight with a mix of people from Young to old and it was fun! Gabe M. was very personable, great with the kids and put on a good show with a good level of humor. It was a good ol' family time. Service was good as well. Slow clap for chef Gabe. Benihana is a throw back to my generation so we were skeptical but I'd go back...I don't care whose birthday it is! read more

I am a huge fan of the chain, but this is the absolute WORST Benihana location there is. The staff is so rude, has zero sense of urgency, and the food is mediocre. They should genuinely be stripped of their franchise as it's an absolute disgrace to the brand. The manager Al is HORRIBLE, insanely rude, and has no business being in the hospitality industry. Have had numerous very bad experiences here with today being the worst as they didn't even come to the table for 1 hr 30 min despite the restaurant being completely empty. Do not come to this location. read more

I love Benihana and am here a few times a month. This is my go to restaurant. Lately it has gone down hill over the past couple of months and I'm here less often. Service isn't good. There's a lot of in trainees and turn over employees it seems. I get it, it's hard to find employees these days, but the new manager also wasn't very costumer service friendly either. Prices have increased for menu items but quality has gone down. If they mess something up they don't really care to fix it. I don't recommend this location anymore and often find myself choosing to go to other hibachi spots in the area instead. read more

I was pleasantly surprised of how much we enjoyed the food. The food was cooked as we requested. The chef (Rudolph) was light hearted and made the experience fun and enjoyable read more

One big empty restaurant. The employees don't seem to be caring nor does anybody else working there. It's almost like they know they can't get fired for some reason because the corporate has to keep them open. The prices are extremely high. And the food is extremely sparse. Not the ambience for this price. My guess is they'll be out of business before the summer. read more
