Antonio very professional and entertaining, would highly recommend. Very precise on description on cooking of meat (medium rare). Very entertaining and very helpful with food allergies. read more

I ended up going here for the first time last weekend. The hibachi was delicious, the chef was humorous as he prepared our food in front of us, with lighthearted banter, jokes and he was considerate of me not wanting onions. Soup, salad, and ice cream (options included; vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and matcha) was included in my meal selection. I ended up getting chicken and shrimp, with an upgraded fried rice. It was cooked perfectly, and just crispy enough. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little loud, the chatter with people enjoying the company around them, laughter, banging of cooking tools, and the sound of servers/cooks buzzing around. Overall it was fun, and engaging. My one star off was due to the floors being horribly sticky, and slippery. They hadn't just been cleaned and weren't outrightly wet, but it was raining out. In terms of price versus worth of what we got -- it felt a little overpriced for what we got, although the atmosphere and interaction definitely made the experience more worth it. read more

Went for a team lunch meeting and the staff was fantastic. Food and service was prompt and entertaining. Ambiance typical hibachi restaurant. The restaurant could use a bit of deep cleaning but overall ok. I also added on an order to go which they happily obliged. read more

Jorge is amazing! Great cook food was amazing! Family enjoyed our night out!! Thanks Jorge

Ricardo did an amazing job and our food was soooo good!!! He was definitely very experienced and it showed.

Hua is the best, my kids liked his interactions and did engage in topical issues, the food was awesome and the fact that Hua engaged us all in conversation. My kids want him to serve them again, there was a bad experience prior to but Hua turned the feeling into happiness. Aaron did do a very good job too. In so far as the feeling in place, I would say was and has always been. read more

Food was good but seating was freezing from a draft that was coming down from the exhaust fan had to put on or winter coats to stay warm until the show started. Will not be dining in the winter at Benihana read more

Food is always awesome! Price for one person sitting at the bar was ridiculous. Overly priced, and way more add on fees makes me say, never again. I will pay extra for good quality food and wonderful staff but I felt like I had to take a loan out to eat here read more

Lily and Hector really made our yearly Benihana dinner for our daughters birthday very special. Benihana birthdays habe been a part of our families tradition read more

Good good as always, but really enjoyed service from Emily & Aaron! Emily is fantastic, personable, and a great communicator.

The hibachi was pretty good and the portions were more than enough. The chef made sure everyone got what they needed and wanted

We had a HUGE party of 3 teppan tables on Halloween and we cannot say enough how fantastic this team was. The service was impeccable, all the way from the hostess, server (Chrissy) and our chef Aaron. We come in to this area once a month for work and we will definitely be back! Thank you for everything and I'm sorry I didn't get everyone's name!! read more

Absolutely best food I've had, you will not leave hungry and Aaron was an amazing chef!

Our server Jackie and Chef Ricardo was FANTASTIC!! We absolutely loved their fun energy and attention to orders placed.

Food so good you need sauces. The fun is In the show, the food needs and upgrade and the foods needs sone seasoning. Everything tastes the same, chicken, steak, seafood? All tastes like sunflower oil and butter. Not the worst place I've been but for the money they could step it up sone and provide a better quality meal. read more

Overrated, overpriced, and terrible food. Our chef was also just ok, there are much better places. If you are ever in Phoenix, Ahso is way better, and if you are in Illinois Fujiyama's blows Benihana out of the water. read more

Ricardo the cook is the best!!!!!!!!! Ricardo made us laugh the whole time. It was definitely a great experience

Thanks Sophie! You rock. All service was attentive and chef was enjoyable. Classic hibachi fun :) read more

Ricardo and Rynie are the best duo! It was fast service and they did everything great. Thank you for a great experience, we will be back!

This place used to be excellent years ago but I'm disappointed to say I've seen a steady decline in quality over the years. Todays review is solely on the Benihana delivery through the Benihana.com website. They use DoorDash and the driver was excellent but it was the restaurant that was the issue. I want to note that it was also almost two hours between placement of the order and delivery. The driver was very communicative and advised when he was at the restaurant waiting since our food was still being prepared after over an hour since the order was placed. I feel bad as he sat there for a while. This was our order for 2 people: 1 x TUNA* TATAKI (1 x $15.50) = $15.50 1 x BENIHANA DELIGHT (1 x $38.80) = $38.80 1 x HIBACHI CHICKEN RICE (1 x $6.10) = $6.10 1 x BENIHANA ORIGINAL YUM YUM SAUCE™ (1 x $0.70) = $0.70 1 x BENIHANA ONION SOUP (1 x $5.40) = $5.40 NO MUSHROOM 1 x SURF SIDE (1 x $43.80) = $43.80 NO SCALLOPS, EXTRA CALAMARI 1 x VEGETABLE FRIED RICE (1 x $5.00) = $5.00 1 x BENIHANA ORIGINAL YUM YUM SAUCE™ (1 x $0.70) = $0.70 SUBTOTAL $116.00 DELIVERY CHARGE $7.50 TAX $8.73 TIP $17.40 TOTAL $149.63 When you order online- this is what you are told you get with your order on select meals (such as the surf side and Benihana delight) 5 course meals served with *BENIHANA ONION SOUP *BENIHANA SALAD *HIBACHI SHRIMP APPETIZER *HIBACHI VEGETABLES *HOMEMADE DIPPING SAUCES *STEAMED RICE *JAPANESE HOT GREEN TEA We did not get either soup, the shrimp appetizer was 3 pieces of small shrimp each. We got one small cup container of yum yum sauce each. We did not get the green tea for either order as well. I ordered an extra soup and it's a tiny portion, I'd say close to 1/3 - 1/2 cup, that they charge $5.40 for. I ordered two extra yum yum sauces and only received one. I only give it a second star because the food we did get was cooked correctly and per request and the portion size of the fried rice was good. I'm upset at spending the amount that I did to not receive all that is advertised nor all that I ordered. I submitted feedback to the email they sent out but didn't hear back. As of the last few years, the inside service hasn't been much better which is disappointing as this location used to be a shining diamond for the Arbor Lakes Maple Grove area. read more

See all

Where to start. The food was good but it was a very expensive night. Started out ordering a glass of pinot grigio that I didn't realize was $18 a glass which arrived with lipstick on it. One of the other couples at our table also had a dirty dish. Waiter and chef were fine. Waiter did mix up our bills but fixed it. Both of our meals were about $50 each. By the time the "service charge" or tip of $30.90 was added, we were told we could add more but it had to be cash, and taxes of over $17, our bill for 2 was $203.03. We had $150 of gift cards, thank goodness. The food was good but not worth the amount we paid. We won't be going back. read more

Five of us ate there December 16th. Emily was our waitress and she was incredible. Always making sure that our drinks were filled and asking if we needed anything else. Roberto was our chef and he was very fun to watch and had a great sense of humor as well. It was my birthday and it was a very enjoyable experience and the food was incredible! We will all definitely be back.. read more

To say Benihana's has gone downhill is a complete understatement. We had an 8PM reservation for 2 tables to celebrate a very special 70Th birthday party. We were not seated until almost 9PM. Once we were seated, we continued to wait. The drinks (90% water because we had already been at the bar for over an hour) took 15-20 minutes. Then the server left and didn't take our order! It was 10:15PM by the time the chefs arrived. This was 2:15 HOURS after our reservation. The chefs were great BTW. Before the chefs arrived, we had at least 4 members of our party talk to the manager about the slow service and she actually blamed us for not being seated right away. She said she could have seated us at opposite ends of the restaurant at 8 although we had 2 confirmations (once while making the reservation and again earlier in the day) that the tables would be next to each other. Although that didn't explain that we were seated at 9 and the chefs didn't arrive until 10:15, which she had no explanation for. I asked her to make things right and give us a discount or something. No manager even spoke to our table or approached us in any way. To top it off, they gave us no discount, but you bet the full service charge was added to the check! To add insult to injury, we had to wait in line to pay, which took an additional 25 minutes. The police were called due to an unruly and upset table who also had to wait a long time, so it was a complete mess. The fact that the managers didn't even care about our experience and even blamed us for our late seating- even having us pay full price for our check is just too much for me to fathom. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but I will absolutely never go back. I hope your loss of customers was worth it. I don't think this restaurant will last much longer. I actually think it's funny one of your bartenders is stealing from you- serves you right!!! At least someone is getting their money's worth from your establishment LOL!!!!!!! read more

Ridiculous! Is the worst service ever. We have been sitting at our teppan table for 1.5 hours. We did get a salad and soup 45 minutes ago. No sign of anyone to cook. Rdiculous! Update. They have added an unchangeable 20 percent "service charge", or tip, and you have e no choice. BS! read more

Food is always amazing. Ricardo gave an amazing show!! He was very funny and pulled new tricks I had never seen before.

Service was really slow, we sat down and everyone was there so we weren't waiting on anyone. They finally were about to start 40 minutes later cooking, but the grill was never started so it took an extra 10 minutes to heat it up, and another 10 for them to come back to cook. My wife had to leave mid way through dinner because we were limited on time. It took a whole hour after we were seated for them to start cooking. Then what made it worse is that all three of our groups were charged a fee for the cook which probably rounded around 100 all together. More than likely won't go again until some changes are made. Not even a percentage taken off our bills, just added fees. At least the other two groups made my experience bearable. read more

The service was amazing! Rynie was my server and she did amazing, she made sure we were well taken care of and I loved her personality 10/1000 I recommend!!! Andres was my cook and he also did an amazing job! He made sure our food was made correctly with beautiful entertainment!! I will be back real soon!! read more

Our experience at Maple Grove Benihana today was great! It's been a long time since we came, but our server DeeAnne made everything amazing! Plus, Antonio was a good cook, and gave us as much "peanut butter" as we could handle. We'll be back! read more

This restaurant is not a place I would recommend, with food or service. The flavours were not authentic and felt like the just got a spicy sauce bottle and coating the fish. No soy sauce was offered until half way through the meal. Two bar tenders knowledge or sake and flavours were poor. Ambiance is great for a group and casual dining. read more

Ricardo was great!! the food was great, we come twice a year but he added to the story so it made it more enjoyable for the 5 of us!

We had a Great chef cooking Habachi at the Maple Grove location. Thank you Mayra for the wonderful food!!
