I would love to come for the first time to relive the experience. First off, the wait time was surprisingly fast because of the amount of people that were waiting. Once we sat down in a private room the server was fast to get us our drinks! The smell and ambiance was so realistic to a traditional hibachi restaurant. Their culture on the walls and you could feel it all around you. And oh the food was spectacular! Our server Gerzom made the experience even better, The food was amazingly delicious and made me want more but I was stuffed from the ocean treasure and the shrimp crunch roll I ordered. He gave us a fun and delightful experience that makes me definitely want to come back in the future. Thank you to benihanas and their cook Gerzom for the amazing experience! read more

Our cook, Tim, was very talented and entertaining. We had a group of 8, and he went the extra mile to get everyone's order exactly right. Everyone was happy with the food from beginning to end. Very well-prepared and perfectly seasoned. Our waitress was very attentive and explained the menu options clearly. Our group did find the menu itself to be a little confusing. It was unclear whether those ordering the 5-course option could or should order a side dish. The waitress did a nice job explaining things, but it seemed like the menu left us with a lot of questions for the server. Overall great experience! read more

Jose was our chef at Benihana and he truly made the experience. He had a great presence at the table -- engaging, personable, and clearly very skilled. Everything was cooked perfectly, and you could tell he takes pride in both the food and the experience. I would definitely recommend asking for Jose -- he made the night memorable. read more

So there we were: me and my emotionally fragile, hibachi-craving sidekick on what can only be described as a "repair the soul before we ruin someone else's day" outing. I showed up dressed like life had already defeated me--because, frankly, it almost had. I was one step away from rolling in actual dirt, but sure, let's go eat in public. She wanted hibachi, so hibachi she got. Enter Adam. Oh, Adam. The man, the myth, the employee the entire restaurant apparently plays hide-and-seek with. He swoops in, takes our order, delivers drinks like a champ, and then vanishes into the void. Not a break, not a shift change. A full Houdini act. Sir, are you on payroll or a seasonal illusionist? Meanwhile, the bar staff (absolute queens) notice we've been abandoned mid-dining experience. They step in, check on our food, start bagging things up like they're running a rescue mission. Because clearly, Adam is somewhere off filming a reboot of Gone Girl. (Screeeeeeech!! Loved that movie!!) Then, plot twist,he reappears. Across the room. At another register. Living his best, unbothered life. Naturally, I yell, "HEY ADAM! THEY'RE LOOKING FOR YOU!" because subtlety is for people with patience. The whole place gets a chuckle, Adam returns, and honestly? Round of applause. Performance art. Now, the food. I got the land and sea, filet and scallops. Asked for medium rare, got medium well, because apparently my preferences were just...suggestions. Still, it was flavorful enough, if a bit on the chewy side. Thank the sauce gods, because that's what carried it across the finish line. Scallops? Tasty, but tiny. Like "blink and you missed them" tiny. Sauce again doing the heavy lifting like an underpaid intern. Veggies and onions: a little greasy, but we move. Fried rice? Oh now THIS is where they decided to shine. Absolute perfection. Not dry, not mushy, just right. A few bonus pieces of chicken on top like a little "we care" sprinkle. Mmmm! Loved that for me. My emotionally recovering companion got the hibachi chicken and has since gone completely nonverbal, just aggressively shoveling food into her mouth like she's training for a competitive eating league. So yeah, safe to say she's into it. We also had gyoza and pork to start, solid, a little spice (always nice) sauce on the side, no complaints. Which, coming from me, is basically a standing ovation. Final verdict? Emotionally stabilized, stomach satisfied, and the real evening activity turned into an interactive game of "Where's Adam?" One minute he's taking orders, next minute he's a distant blur by the register, then*poof*gone again. Honestly, forget dessert, we spent the rest of the time scanning the room like we were in a live-action puzzle book. If you go, bring your appetite... and your spotting skills. Adam may be anywhere. Or nowhere. Or watching you right now. Who knows. read more

Totally underwhelming - our server got a lot of order wrong - on rice, etc, drinks, etc The food was blah - veggies oversalted - soup was a salt bomb - rice was tepid and not at all moist. Shrimp overcooked. Definitely would not come back - our grill person was trying but he was just not that entertaining...felt very forced. read more

Portions are smaller than I seen in NYC but the service was good. The place was clean and the vibe was good. Quited a 1 hr wait but for 2 people going in at 7pm, we got a seat quick cuz there was a table only needing 2 people. The chef was kinda bored and did his thing a bit but he wasn't too into it.. read more

Dante is an amazing server! He was attentive, receptive to all our needs, personable, and, best of all, passionate. Randall, our chef, was also incredible! He kept the energy high with his creativity and sense of humor. Mind you, we arrived at 10 p.m. and didn't leave until midnight, and they were still giving us their all. I truly feel like we got the A-Team. Of course, the food and ambiance were amazing as well. For our Valentine's date, we'll always remember how talented and radiant they were. When we come back, it won't just be because we love hibachi, it will be because we love the culture that Dante and Randall exude. read more

The food isn't good anymore. My filet was chewy. The chef's barely do anything fun because they are on such a tight schedule. They pack people in, putting people at the corners of tables and they allow too many reservations at once. Our res was at 6, got there at 6. We didn't get seated till 6:45. Our waitress had way too many tables. She didn't bring the appetizer before the food...or green tea that we asked for. When our $8 and $10 fried rice upgrade was finished cooking the chef didn't have the bowls to put it in. It is soo expensive now and the quality and service has gone way down in the past 10 years. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

I stopped in here today just for a cocktail and perhaps a bite before I had a nail appointment. It was around 4 o'clock and there weren't very many people in there. I ordered a happy hour cucumber Collins. It was pretty good, but honestly could not taste the alcohol at all. I ordered something that I get quite often other places, but never here at Benihana, he seared salmon in Nigiri. The service was very friendly, but super slow. Took forever to get my cocktail and then to receive the Nigiri. The pieces of salmon were quite large and a little bit overcooked. I prefer my salmon kind of raw with a bit of a sear. This was cooked too much, in my opinion. Fresh flavor, but not executed well. I have been here for dinner previously, and I enjoyed it very much. This experience was not at the top of my list. Maybe stick to the Benihana hot plate experience - read more

Benihana has been my go to place for my birthday for the last five years. Food is always good. Service is always great and it's always a good time Unfortunately, this will be the last time that I attend my birthday at Benihana the price that was paid for two people to enjoy dinner, and one drink was out rages !! I feel that the price gouging a Benihana is way ridiculous... all in all everybody's nice, entertaining and very chill but I won't be going back...... Thanks For The Read Until Next Time........ read more

Great experience! Recommend to go with friends or family. Good food! I loved the atmosphere as well. Service was good.

Raymond and Michael were great! Food tasted great. Drinks were always filled. We look forward to our next visit.

Oh where to start. We had a 7:30 reservation but weren't seated until 8:30. Not a word or apology from any employee about taking over an hour wait for a reservation. At the beginning our chef was enjoyable, though the fun only lasted for the first ~10 minutes. It was surprising how long it took to get from rice to shrimp to steak to veggies. All of the food was very oily and not enjoyable. And my order of steamed rice never arrived, even asking about it twice. For ~$60 a plate you'd expect some incredible food, but this was more at the level of mall food court. When we got our bill there was a mystery $58 item added, thankfully when I called it out to the employee the fixed it. There were other tables that seemed to be getting quite the experience from their chef, unlike ours. Sadly the table next to us were seated and waited over 30 minutes before a chef appeared. Pretty awful to not have any food while watching the table next to you get served. I was hopeful for a great night, but after 3 hours, terrible food, and a $300 bill for 3 people I can't say I'd ever return or recommend this spot. Skip Benihana and take your money to a local spot. read more

My Oracle team from around the country met in Broomfield this week, and we had a farewell dinner at this restaurant. I ordered a seafood entree (shrimp and scallops) Service was fine, and the food tasted like it was prepared properly.. but I experienced severe food poisoning (diarrhea) for the entire evening.. and this has persisted for 3 days. To make matters worse.. I had my flights home, and had to endure the aftermath during my travel. I am 62, and have never experienced such a terrible event linked to a meal. Filed a detailed report on Iwapoisoned.com .. and learned that this chain has a history of similar incidents. I will never go there again.. and would encourage others to seek out safer alternatives. read more

The food was absolutely disgusting. We walked in and should've turned around when we smelled the sewage at the lobby. We got the Taste of Benihana and I've never been so disappointed. The salad was 10 prices of lettuce. The soup was decent (honestly highlight of the meal). One of our entrees was the steak and it was straight fat. The chicken tasted like salt. The dish came with chicken fried rice and it just tasted like chemicals. The only redeemable qualities was the soup, sadly. My margarita also tasted like salt. We also spent our dinner listening to a waitress tell her coworkers about how she wanted to go out but only if she "got her c***hie ate" Weird vibes. Bad food. Our server was great so I feel bad but it was NASTY. read more

First Benihana experience and safe to say that we both left disappointed. Food was undercooked. The noodles were literally still firm like they'd come out of the packet. Sauce choices were awful. The soup was cold. The chicken was overcooked. The service was good. They were happy to take care of any issues but it simply just doesn't make up for the poor food unfortunately. Ambiance was good. read more

Love this Benihana! I've been to several, both here and in Alaska and this is my favorite. Love the fish tank that greets you as you arrive, and the food has always been amazing. read more

It was the night of prom, we had called a week ahead to make reservation at 7:30. We checked in on time they had told us they still had 3 7:15 reservations to seat before they sat us. They then told us it wouldnt be until 8:15 that we could get sat. The customer service wasn't bad but unprofessional. jsut probably dont go on a saturday. read more

I haven't been to Benihanas in over 10 years and I'll never go back. The manager was rude and drinks were expensive. We had one member of our party who went to the wrong restaurant so I asked the hostess if I needed to change my reservation since we were going to be 30 minutes late. She told me not to worry and they would seat us when we had a full party. After our last member arrived, we told the hostess we were ready and ten minutes later we were called to be seated. Just as we were being lead to our table, the manager informed us that he had canceled our reservation 40 minutes earlier (but AFTER I had talked to the hostess about our party running late). I understand cancelling a reservation for a late party, but don't tell me there isn't a problem, let me sit at the bar ordering overpriced drinks for 30 minutes, and then tell me there's a problem. read more

We made a reservation for 7:00. They said they could get us in at that time, 45 minutes later they told us we still had an hour left to wait. There was genuinely no point of a reservation if they made us wait that long. read more

The prices at Benihana do not reflect value and the experience is well, tainted. They seem to zero in on a person who is celebrating an occasion and give them, well extra food when there might be another person at the table also celebrating an event but not being recognized. We were running a bit late and when I called a woman to let them know as a courtesy had no response other than "we hold the reservation for 15 minutes after said booking time" and she repeated herself in a very robotic voice. No sympathy or compassion. We made it there within the 15 minutes and then had to wait another 15 minutes before getting seated. Also the wait time til they actually started cooking was about another 20 minutes which was a crunch for us to make it to our next destination so we asked for a a check and box early. But of course we did not get dessert that we paid for, 6 course meal and the whole damn thing cost about $190. It was definitely NOT worth it at all. The worst Teppanyaki experience we ever had. My advice is to find another Teppanyaki restaurant. BTW, the restroom was FILTHY also. Disgusting would be an appropriate word. Thank you. read more

I booked 3 WEEKS IN ADVANCE for my daughter's college graduation. We had to wait an hour and a half only for them to lose our reservation! Simply unacceptable. No comps or anything we just had to leave. Would never recommend this place and will never go there again. read more

Had high expectations for what I assumed was a higher end hibachi place, even though it's a chain. Never been before, but took 45 minutes to be seated past our reservation, not counting time waited at the table for a chef. An up charge for fried rice, and the restaurant smelled extremely unpleasant like sulfur. Also, yumyum sauce is another up charge. My expectation and previous experience at hibachi restaurants is having plenty of food both at the table and leftover. Quite the opposite here, our chef even discarded extra fried rice (that is UP CHARGED) as opposed to divvying it up to patrons. Overall underwhelming and extremely overpriced considering how tiny the portions are. read more

Love, love this place. Atmosphere and everyone here are just amazing. Food where do I start. Nom nom.

Where do I start? We were celebrating three birthdays today. Mine was one of them the big 60!!! My godson and a the oldest nephew. The employees were very nice to us. There was a very nice lady who took our pictures before and after the meal. I'm not sure what they are called but the first grill master Adonis who preps the food for the chef was very nice and entertaining as was the actual chef. The manager came over and congratulated us on our birthday even gave me a free birthday shake due to my attire. The food was awesome and cooked to perfection. I actually got a perfect medium well steak unlike other steakhouses that I have to return twice there. It's hard to take pics of the full meal as it came in courses. And didnt want food getting cold. All said and done unfortunately after we sat I noticed the carpet below and around our table looked like it had not been swept up from the previous evening. I looked behind the food prep and it was messy as well with broken dishes. I'm saying this because we had a reservation for noon and the store opened at 11. Yes I'm surmising that we were the first patrons at that table as it took us over an hour from start of food prep to finish eating so I'm sure no one was there before us today. We brought it up to the food prep person and he said he'll bring it up to the manager attention. Not sure if he did or not. Also there was a piece of onion in a rainbow sherbet ice cream and it wasn't a small piece either. We brought that up as well. read more

A beautiful restaurant with plenty of ambiance, the food was delicious, perfectly prepared, the show was awesome, the staff was friendly and attentive.

Chencho was the best !! He keeps the laughs and the tricks coming he was wonderful !! Would come again just because of him the food was amazing also 100/100 experience! The service was great also our server was amazing ! read more

Disclaimer: We came for happy hour NOT for the hibachi experience. Food: Some of it was good, some of it was mediocre. Had a bite of the crunchy shrimp sushi roll which was probably the best thing, yummy and good flavor with a good sauce. I also had the salmon crispy rice which was good, however it was a very small amount for the price. I also had the pork gyoza which was good, crispy and flavorful. I also had the wagyu burger for $9 for happy hour which left me with high hopes. Unfortunately, it did not meet those standards, I was worried at first it was not totally cooked, with me pulling out a piece of what could've been almost raw meat. The fries were also not good, with cayenne pepper thrown on there making it spicy but giving it no flavor. This was a bummer burger. Service: I did not have a good experience. Our waiter took forever to take our orders, almost 15 minutes when we had been ready for those 15 minutes. Then they went to the table next to us and took their order. They were not attentive. The burger also took almost 40 minutes to come out when it shouldn't have taken that long for an almost raw burger. Ambience: The hibachi section seemed fun and inviting but the happy hour section was not, our table was sticky and they only put 2 napkins on a table when there was 4 seats. Small dining area. Overall: It was not the best experience I've had, the food was overpriced for its small portion and the service is not great. read more

Don't believe the complete BS about their being unable to seat you at the time the reservation is booked. They don't' have enough staff and oversell the restaurant anyway. The place is kept at just above 32 degrees with a cold wind blowing across the dining room. Expect to be cold, alone and miserable. Just want you want on a Saturday night out. read more

UPDATE 2 DAYS LATER!!: We got food poisoning. I was expecting a nice dinner night out and that is not what I got. 1. The wait to get our drinks was long. The wait for the chef was too long (about 30 minutes). 2. The service left much to be desired. We had empty soup and salad cups in our way for the entire dinner despite the waitress coming by to fill our waters twice. There were also issues with the wrong drinks being brought out, which was clearly a communication issue between the wait staff. 3. The food was okay but it all needed more seasoning. Then, the prices were completely outrageous for the experience you're being given. It was over $100 for just two people and we got one of the cheapest options. Not to mention, neither the menu or the wait staff bothered to mention that fried rice is an extra $7.50 per person. The waitress asked us as if it would be the same as the steamed rice. 4. The only redeeming qualities were the chef tricks, which one of them he wasn't able to do after 4 attempts and ultimately caused him to splatter sauce on somebody at our table, and the ice cream at the end. I suggest saving yourself the trip, money, and time by supporting your favorite local asian restaurant instead. read more

Why is service so terrible here. Been here over 20x over the past 6 months and never had a good experience. We love the food; we've never had such a bad experience at other Benihana's. But this particular location always struggles. We wait to order for 30min every time; it takes another 20min to get our drinks. Every time we have come here our turnaround time is usually around 4hrs and it's all due to terrible management and service. read more

Great place and had a wonderful server named Felicity. Thank you for celebrating our kids birthday!

Service was horrendous. We came here to celebrate my Mom's bday and would NEVER recommend this place. 1. The restaurant was freezing. The entire 2 hours we were here we were all uncomfortable even with our coats on. It was clear their heat was not working or they weren't addressing the issue. 2. We sat at our table for 25 min before anyone came by. The server Felicity stated no one told her she had a table and apologized. Easy to get over except the service just continued to get worse. She did ask if we were celebrating anything. Which we said my Mon's birthday (which was also on our reservation). 3. We order and because it's so freezing the adults all want hot sake. Oops sorry our machine is down we can't warm any up. Okay I'll have this sake. Nope we're all out of that unfortunately. We finally all find something they are able to offer and order. 4. We order our food and Randall the chef comes by later (he was great, no complaints)! He asked if we were celebrating anything which we said my Mom's birthday. 5. Meanwhile Felicity is nowhere to be found. Which we are all eating my daughter has not received her chicken tenders. We ask Randall about them since he is almost done and he can't find Felicity. He has to flag someone else over to ask. 10 min later no chicken tenders and finally Felicity shows up we ask her and she rushes to see where they are. She does bring them and states be SOO careful the dish is very hot. The bowl was...the food was not. It was clear it had been sitting back there for a very long time waiting for her to bring them to us. 6. Around us this whole time we see many celebrations being acknowledged. Felicity beings are ice cream and says so sorry for all the issues and delays and being here so long etc to which my husband replies "Does my mother in laws birthday not worthy acknowledging too?" Ohhhhh sooo sorry yes yes of course she says. At this point it's just ridiculous and we're over it but my kids were excited for this celebration. She grabs some people to sing and they come and sing to my DAUGHTER not my Mom.‍. My 5 year old even asked me "Why are they messing everything up?!'" 7. Menu states you get green tea at the end...didn't even bother asking where ours was but definitely wasn't offered. Save your money and go somewhere else. I was so disappointed with the service. read more

My partner and I had a BLAST taking his mom and kids here for dinner. No one except me had been before, and Benihana is too iconic not to try it at least once. Love this Broomfield location. The restaurant felt familiar from all the times I went as a kid. I ordered the Surf n Turf entrée. Delicious steak, scallops, veggies, and hot sake. I made sure the kids got to try the Strawberry Ramune that was on the menu. I remember that the experience was a little much as a kid, but I had a blast as an adult. Probably helped with Jessica (server) and Deon (chef) provided incredible customer service. They were cheery and helped make the visit fun. We'll see if the kids ask to come back! read more

Wait times with a reservation are long so be prepared if you are going on a weekend. The restaurant is fairly dirty if you start looking around but likely because they don't have the staff to clean. The service is "meh". WAY OVERPRICED!! If you order steak or chicken, don't expect much. Salad not so much.. soup was good. We watched the table next to us waiting for their cook for at least 30 minutes. The final bill was definitely not matching the food quality or quantity. For that amount of money, I would recommend Mt. Fuji in Arvada which has much better food for the price you pay. If you like steak, go to Capital Grille where you actually get the whole steak..rather than this place where you will pay $61 and only get 5 bites of that steak.....save you money and don't waste your time here. read more

Words cannot even begin to describe the absolutely miserable experience our family had at Benihana this evening. We have 2 kids who are big fans of hibachi, and were recently at the Benihana on the Strip in Las Vegas, where we had a great experience, so we thought we would try this location near our home to celebrate a birthday, but this was our first visit and last visit to the Benihana location in Broomfield, Colorado. First, we had made a 5 pm reservation, via Open Table, and despite arriving timely, we were not seated at the table until almost 5:30 pm. Another family with kids was seated at the communal table with us at the same time and suffered the same issues. The restaurant was busy tonight and woefully understaffed. Our young server seemed to try his best, but he appeared relatively new to his role and struggled with taking our order and getting the appetizers out in a timely manner. The table directly behind us had actually arrived after us and was almost DONE with their dinner by the time our hibachi chef ("Louie") finally arrived, after we waited in relatively good spirits since being seated for 1 hour and 15 minutes (I am not exaggerating). He was not in any way apologetic for the delay, made sure that everyone at the table knew that he was having a bad day, and then did not even introduce himself, welcome guests or confirm the orders, as is usually done in our experience. When we made a comment about our excitement for our international visitor to see the show, Louie made a snarky comment to the effect of "If you want a show you are obviously not hungry" (realize that there were 2 sets of kids at the table who had been waiting patiently and they were VERY hungry). My wife reminded him that she had a food allergy to onions, and he then snidely said that he had never heard of anyone with such an issue (essentially mocking her in front of everyone). The rude comments only got worse from there, and though I have never done so before, I got up and announced that our family would be leaving, which we did. On the way out, I asked to speak with the manager ("Guillermo"), who seems like a very reasonable guy. I explained to him what had happened and he was very empathetic and apologetic. I offered that we would pay for the food we had ordered (but were not staying to eat), but he was insistent that he would not take our money - the damage had already been done and there was really nothing further he could do. I left him with my business card and told him to contact me if he had any further questions. I still cannot believe that this happened. The hibachi chef obviously hates his job, but there was absolutely no excuse for him to take it out on a table of guests or to treat us with such disrespect. This restaurant seriously needs to address their staffing issues (or at least notify guests of possible delays at check in to give THEM the option to go elsewhere), and then also decide if they want to continue to employ such a poor representative of their brand in a customer-facing position. read more
