Stopped in on a Wednesday night for my annual birthday hibachi dinner. Every year they offer a $30 certificate towards dinner with the purchase of another entree so you can't beat that. I did the call ahead seating for 7:30 and we arrived about 7:10 and got seated right around 7:30. They were surprisingly busy for a week night and it took quite a while to place and receive our drinks. There were a total of 5 seated at our table. The other couple already had their drink and the other person was a single. We didn't order any alcohol so I'm really not sure what the hold up was. Then it was also quite a while before the soup came and it wasn't even hot. The salad came shortly after and it was fine. I asked for a refill on my iced tea and also asked if we could have the hot green tea that comes with our meals... The chef came to the table reviewed the orders and started cooking. My hubby and I both got the Benihana Excellence that comes with Teriyaki beef and Colossal shrimp, hibachi vegetables and we had the chicken fried rice $4 up-charge each. The chef was great putting on his show with the onion volcano and tossing the eggs around and shaping the rice into I love you... as all this time is passing I still never got my drinks I requested. I mentioned it to the chef and he motioned for the Manager to come over and he apologized and remedied the situation. The chef finished serving all the food and it was delicious. Pretty big portion... I brought about half home. The meal also came with ice cream so I had a small bowl of chocolate while the check was prepared. Despite the delay in service we still enjoyed our dinner and the company at the table. They just need to pay a little bit more attention to detail. Just allow plenty of time when dining here... read more

I have been coming to this Benihana for over 10 years now, and I enjoy it every time. The hosts, servers, and chefs are welcoming and friendly. The food is great and you get a medium portion of food - quite filling. The only thing I don't like is that a very small portion of noodles costs $5 to add on to your order. And the quantity of food has gone down over the years accompanied by an increase in prices. However, it is still very affordable to have lunch here. The dinners are sometimes close to twice the price with no change in portion size. The hibachi show here is not too good. Regardless, I do enjoy eating at Benihana for lunch. read more

Okay first off, just want to say my server- Justin, was amazing. He was attentive and available. Friendly and helpful. Food was just okay.. its a chain habachi restaurant so it's on par for what I expected. More expensive than I remember but it was still an overall nice dinner. read more

Had an amazing time. Ozzie was our server and he was the best! Had a great time. Thank you Ozzie.

I promised my son I would buy him Hibachi for doing well during home schooling. I ordered his favorite steak hibachi dinner through Door Dash and what I received was deplorable! There was hardly any food for the $35.00 meal ordered. Not only were they stingy with the food delivered they even sent 1/2 filled soufflé cups filled with dipping sauce. I will NEVER EVER go to this Benihana again. We will have to find a new Habachi restaurant for our future meals. read more

Visited here for a small family birthday party. 11 people including 3 kids. The chef was very entertaining for both the kids and adults..some of the chefs don't interact with the table, but ours did a lot. Made every one feel a part of the fun. I had the lunch duet. Spicy Scallops and shrimp. Very good. Was better then my normal teriyaki chicken and shrimp. Was glad I tried something else. Priced right for a lunch time party. Always a pleasure to return to this place read more

Isaac was amazing!!! The food was delicious and having friendly service is hard to find!!! thank you Issac hope you are there when we go back !!! read more

Was very disappointed in the chef that we had, Rude, zero entertainment and the worst experience ever! When I addressed the manager he did not care about the service provided for us. He told me it's there top chef so I'm surprised. I guess if your the top chef you can treat your customers like shit and get away with it! I'm an Area Director and also in customer service. It's a shame that I will No longer go to this location because of how bad this was handled! Obliviously money is the only thing your company is worried about judging by your reviews. I just hope others read this and never go there because $600 dollars spent on a terrible experience is disgusting! Fortunately the money wasn't the issue for me! read more

I have been here many times. Yesterday was my first time ordering take out. It was easily one of my worst ordering experiences. I wanted to use the birthday coupon I was emailed and that seemed to irritate the man taking my order. He cut me off repeatedly, assuming I wanted two of the same thing. When I said no he very rudely said I had to. I just wanted two different entrees. When I arrived the woman snatched my card from me and when I requested a receipt she refused. Despite having been here in the past without issues. I will never return. I prefer to spend my money with establishments that at minimum treat me with respect ! read more

food was great and server Bridget c was very attentive and was a great server and we didn't wait long for anything

Went for my birthday last night. Had my $30 off for my birthday. I got a $30 meal and my boyfriend got a $20 meal. We have never been there before, you'd think they'd explain to their customers what they're going to be charged extra for. Rice???? $8 extra for rice???? The menu says the meal comes with rice, but they deceive their customers and don't tell them that the rice they make on the hibachi grill would be the "upcharged" rice. I'm sure they get away with this a lot so I didn't say anything, just think they're scheming their customers. Great experience until we got the check. read more

Ronald is an amazing chef! Unfortunately I tried asking for him and they don't say no..but they never seat me with him. So I assume you cannot request a chef which is a bummer. Me and my classmates started coming here for the lunch buffet and it's affordable. Food is always great. We come a few times a month. There's almost always a wait for more than 2 people. Service is very friendly read more

Order placed in advance at 2 pm for 4:30 pickup time. Arrived at 4:24. It is now 5:11 and still waiting for a to go order. $2250 for 3 meals and the service is horrific. Standing here for almost an hour with no updates. They just keep saying check back with us in a little while. Really????? Update... 5:55 is when the order was ready. An hour and 25 minutes after the pick up time read more

Went here for a birthday. The waiter was so kind to us and answered all our million questions. The chef put on a great show and the food was REALLY GOOD. I've been the hibachi before and usually the food is 'okay,' but this was delicious. I had salmon with avocado sauce and my friend got surf and turf. They paired everything together really nicely. They give you plenty of food. Would 100% come here again. read more

went for my step-moms birthday and we had bridget as our server. she was AMAZING!!! great personality, service, she made us laughhhh! very good. the food was absolutely amazing as well. read more

I'm not sure why they only have 2.5 star but this place is always awesome. When you come here you already know you're going to get a show and a garlic buttery soy sauce filled meal. It was exactly as I remembered years ago and the flaming onions still flaming. Had a good meal and good time after last minute Xmas shopping at menlo mall. The only reason for the 4 stars is because there was a long wait time for a waiter to come over and even get our drink orders. read more

Don't waste your time. Go to U-Yee Sushi & Hibachi. You will get better service; without the attitude of the "greeter". They do not accept reservations so when you show up, everyone is crowded inside the waiting area. We arrived at 6:43; they told us (party of 2) that we would be seated approximately 7:30. We sat in the car until 7:21; went back and asked how much longer? We were told between 7:30 and 8:00 (that is NOT what we were told initially). The family in front of us were told the same thing and they sat 4 more groups before us. We complained..... they did NOTHING!!! 8:00 still waiting to be seated. Disappointed read more

Bartender Anthony was amazing!! Superb service, he was very nice and warm, made my night !!

For my first time to Benihana's was fun and the food was delicious. The server Mia was was very nice and attentive to our questions. She made recommendations when we asked and was familiar with the popular items on the menu. She also check on us periodically and made sure our drinks was full. The chef was also amazing. I would definitely go back to this location. read more

Walked in at 8:30pm and were told that there was an hour and 20 minute wait. They close at 10pm. Why even offer a table? We ended up sitting in a regular table. I was with a party of 6. Terrible service. Food was good but not hot. We felt rushed until it was time to pay the bill. We couldn't find our waiter anywhere. We saw the manager walking around but wasn't really doing anything. Great food but that staff needs a bit of a shakeup. Based on other messages that I read, I'm not alone in my disappointment in their service. read more

My favorite place to eat with my family!! They never disappoint & always go above and beyond!

It was a nice steak the fried rice was great and the drinks were awesome. I absolutely plan to go again read more

Food and chef were excellent. My only beef with this place is the long wait even with reservations. Every time I go here they never have enough chefs to cook. With reservations took 2 hours to start eating. Unacceptable..... read more

I came to Benihana on my vacation with my husband to enjoy some sushi and a man with a hoodie walked up to my table who I thought was a complete stranger but turned out to be my server, at first I was uncomfortable and find it very unprofessional, not a good look for the establishment. read more

Kayla was an excellent server. It was my first time and I wasn't so sure of the menu. She made sure to help me find something i liked. I'm very picky by the way. So you can thank her for the 5 star rating! read more

I really don't go to these kind of places anymore but when visiting the area with friends we decided to go with them. The prices you pay for here are outrageous for the quality of food. When we arrived we had to wait 15 mins even though we had a reservation. I immediately noticed how dirty the lighting fixtures were at our table. One of the members of our party told the waiter he had a severe seafood allergy yet when the chef came out he started mixing the seafood and other food together. That is unacceptable. It was not the chef's fault but he has to take time to clean everything. The waiter we had was super slow and we had to ask twice for sake glasses. Overall would not recommend this chain at all. read more

Okay let me start off by saying I am very disappointed. I love me some Benihana, but the one in this location fell short. Our waitress was rude, she sat us at a table with a group of three that happened to be allergic. We requested to move to another table so we wouldn't be affected by the way their food had to be cooked. She ignored our request and seemed to cater to the other group more and even lied saying they were not allergic so there food could be cooked outside. Simple stuff like bringing us water was an issue. Aside from the waitress, our Chef Fabian was amazing. He was very personable and cooked the food to our request. read more

From the moment we walked in you can tell this business is run down . I had a better experience in aruba then I did here in the USA . We had multiple waiters and the one we had couldn't get it right . My boyfriend asked for brown rice and she said he couldn't get it and he asked for white rice and it came out with fried rice and then we asked for the white rice and she responded no if is fried rice . Rude and lazy didn't seem to want to do her job . We asked for the manager and she didn't understand why . The manager did the right thing but the service before that was not acceptable. Will not be returning to this location read more

Food was great, service was EH at best and was schooled by my server about how I'm not entitled to a dessert, but said she'd give me my dessert if I wanted it, then why bother opening your mouth from the start! Lastly, and should have been addressed first, bathrooms had feces all over seats and after 4 times asking to clean them, they only cleaned one, since other was now out of service and needed a plumber to come and fix it. This is the only benihana that has older bathrooms. Time for an upgrade??? Benihana Corporate sent me this because they feel I complain too much, aka they don't want to hear anything I have to say, but just take my money.
