TERRIBLE FOOD I had a normal expectation for a good asian food but at the end was terrible, the worst was the wagyu stake. This is supposed to be a delicate meat, tender but was totally different. Do not order this read more

I've been a loyal customer since 2017 thanks to an autistic child who only eats your chicken fried rice. I have ordered weekly for over 8 years. During this time the portion container has shrunk while the price stays the same or goes up. I'd like an explanation for the most recent shrinkflation of the 4-serving containers. When nested inside of the old container it is smaller in height width and depth thus giving significantly less product. read more

Oh wow, what a disappointment!!! I am usually a fan of Benihana restaurants, but this place was just a complete hot mess of a bad experience. This was my first visit to this location. We were seated at 7:40pm. I dined tonight, just me, at a table with 8 other people. It took 20-30 min (I wasn't fully timing yet) before our waiter showed up to take our drink order. This was after we asked 3 times if we could get service. And our waiter had also passed by us numerous times without tending to us. My best guess is nobody told him the table was assigned to him. I don't think it was his fault. When he did finally arrive, he took our complete order as he said "we have already waited long enough." He was very attentive from that point on trying to make the best of a bad situation. Our Hibachi chef finally arrived after we had been seated for 1 hour at 30 min. 9:08 pm to be exact. About an hour after our order was placed. This was after we asked our waiter a couple of times where the chef was, as well as various other servers and hostesses. Each time, everyone told us they were on their way. So needless to say we were a grumpy group. Seconds before he arrived, 2 guests had asked for their check. Sad because they were both celebrating their birthdays. They stayed to eat. We told the chef how long we had been waiting as well, so he tried to make best of a grumpy table as well. Now while all of this was happening there were also 2 waitresses fighting and yelling at each other. In the kitchen, in the server area, and while they were walking past us. We were sitting right by the kitchen door. You would think we would have had faster service with this location, but I guess not. Anyway, back to the show. The 2 waitresses continued arguing and a couple of times they had to be separated by other coworkers. I think (not positive) they were also arguing around the corner as they were starting to sing happy birthday to a table in the bar area. Arguing at a table as someone is trying to celebrate their birthday......real classy! Our waiter actually told us it's pretty common there to have 2 female servers fighting with each other (not the same 2, but always fighting going on). No clue where the manager was. Not once did he check on us, or apologize for the long wait, or compensate us in any way. Not once did he engage with the fighting employees either. And even at the end of our meal our waiter couldn't find him to cash out a couple of certificates/coupons. No wonder this restaurant is a hot mess. Culture stems from leadership. So I ordered pork gyoza dumplings, the Rocky Special, and an iced tea. The food really fell flat. Pretty bland with no seasoning or flavor. I don't expect amazing steak house flavors from a Benihana, but it's usually better than this. So my meal, iced tea, plus 20% tip and it was $72.90. Between the wait, the food quality, and the entertainment (staff fighting) it definitely wasn't worth it. I received my check at 10pm. So to recap: Seated at 7:40pm. Finished and promptly paid at 10pm. 2 hours and 20 min "experience" read more

Service: was excellent. Food: was great. Ambiance: was sanitary. I enjoy dining at Benihana. read more

This is a great place for a fun dinner outing. It can get pricy but let's face it, it's because of the entertainment and novelty of eating while someone is prepping your food in front of you and doing little tricks with their utensils, and Volcano out of onions and what not. We've been several times and decided to bring our family for a fun family dinner. We were happy that we were seated relatively quick without a reservation (reservations are highly encouraged, btw). Our waitress Deanna was fantastic and such an upbeat and attentive person, she made our visit great. The 2 stars stem from just a subpar dinner experience, and it was not really the chef's fault. We got seated and then shortly after, a different family that had many dietary requirements and modifications was seated with us. Usually, it's no biggie for us to sit with others, and we welcome the opportunity to get to know new people and have a fun dinner time in these kinds of scenarios. Anyhow, they had so many modifications and soecifications that it took what felt like forever for the chef to prepare our dinner. The chef looked frazzled and stressed because he was trying to figure out how he was going to decide all the stuff while also having to worry about holding back eggs, meat, and the shrimp. He kept looking back at the order so many times as if second guessing himself. There wasn't any shrimp appetizer (that ended up having to be way last). He basically had to prepare this person's meal first before continuing the remainder (and even still 2 others I'm that party had other special modifications to be considered to). Our family ended up being last (we all opted for the same rice and pretty much the same meat). Two of us ordered the hibachi chicken, which was supposed to come with mushrooms and sesame seeds, and those mushrooms ended up with the other person. The little mushroom that remained somehow ended up in my husband's plate, and he realized 2 of us didn't get the mushrooms that were supposed to come with our chicken. So he shared 2 slivers with each of us. The worst part was the amount if oil. Yes I know it's stir fry and this requires oil but my goodness, it was as if the oil bottle was an extension of the chef's body. He kept adding it, and adding it, and adding it, over and over on the food (especially the rice that had been sitting waiting to be modified and divied to that other group. As I write this review 24 hr later, I just feel gross. I think moving forward a suggestion would be for the hosts to ask if anyone has dietary restrictions. Frankly, if someone had that many restrictions and what not they should've just had their own table or just sat down and order and modified from the menu at a regular table. Dinner ended up being frustrating because it felt like our dinner experience was muddled by the demands of the other group, and it is not cheap eating here. If we were to go back, I'd ask not to be seated with a group that has too many allergies/restrictions/modification requests. I think the poor guy was so stressed that he felt the need to keep the food moist by adding oil to it because of how much time it took to prep, and many of the fun things that occur at a hibachi table didn't really happen at ours because he couldn't cook freely. 2 stars mostly because our waitress was attentive and wonderful, the chef was nice despite his situation, and our kids ate without giving us a hard time. read more

So my family and I celebrated Mother's Day here. In fact, we spend many of our special occasions here. We were so disappointed today. The chicken fried rice no longer gets real eggs. They now use liquid eggs because they said the cost of eggs are too expensive but they didn't make us aware of this. Now there was 5 of us and we paid well over $200.00 and my mom only ordered an appetizer and because I don't eat much I shared a meal with my husband so there was really only 3, 5 course meals. There were 7 orders of chicken fried rice at the table and they only used one chicken breast. They skimped on the rice. The meat portions were reduced. The filet mignon was small. They didn't have the mushrooms that usually come with the vegetables. They didn't offer the ice cream that comes with the meal. If you don't frequent this restaurant you probably wouldn't notice the difference but we do go frequently. Shame on you Benihanas. This location has really gone down hill. read more

It's been a few years since I have decided to step foot in a Benihana, previously I've had bad experiences with food quality and flavor. However, I happened to give it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. When I arrived the hosts were great and rapid at getting my information and informing me of wait time and number of people ahead. We decided to join the bar and order a round of drinks. The bartender was a little busy but immediately acknowledged us and let us know she would assist us soon. I ordered a very exciting Diet Coke (ha) and my friend ordered a Jack and Diet. We closed our tab and went to our table. The table was a little bit dirty I can tell they cleaned it up quickly but the atmosphere was cleaner than usual, the uniforms and customers looked tidy and quick. Our server was great as well very on top of every order, refill and dirty plate. We tried the crispy rice with tuna and it's came out quick and very fresh (except a little too much rice) But Lu the chef was amazing and very attentive on refilling sauces and orders. The fried rice he made was delicious and very flavorful. I ordered the salmon with yakisoba noodles and my friend got the spicy chicken entree. Everything was great and I had a loooooot of leftovers which I heated up later that night and it was still delicious. Will definitely be back, hopefully you guys keep this up! read more

The Benihana's in Miramar is so disgusting with how they treat their customers. I decided to get lunch for my daughter and I today. It took over 10 mins to find a waitress to bring silverware out after we received our meal. The entire time we ate our food, the waitress was no where to be found. I had to send my daughter to go look for the waitress to get us some water. I would assume this was normal, but the promptness they had when it came to paying for the meal let me know this was intentional. They treat their black customers like second class citizens and then rush them out the door, without offering everything that comes with the meal. It's as if they antagonize us just so they can prove the stereotypes to be true. We shouldn't have to bite our tongues to keep the peace while employees are allowed to rage war on us because of their ignorance. Regardless of skin tone, bad service is never met with a good tip. I told my daughter to go and get our receipt I left inside, and they had the audacity to bully a 7 yr old child. My daughter was talking with her hands and overheard a waitress telling her friend that she don't understand sign language. Unnecessary and disgusting. read more

It's very disappointing for me to write this review. This was my go to location, my child loves Benihana and this one was the closest to us. I would sneak over here and sit at the bar alone sometimes to have a drink. Well recently about 2 weeks ago I went and did my usual as the bar, before my food and drink could come out a live roach literally crawled right across the bar table in front of me. I jumped up and walked out. So disappointed. I wish I could unsee it because now I know I thru have roaches. I hope they clean this place up. read more

I've never experienced such horrible service! Our waitress was Cecille and it was one mistake after another. Initially she forgot to put in the drinks then brought the wrong drinks TO START. The chef Machado was great (THE ONLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE). We asked our waitress for water several times for the group and FINALLY after paying she brought ONE glass. It was the worst dining experience yet! Not what you want when going out to eat much less when celebrating a birthday. Management was no help either! We have dined here on many occasions over the years and have never experienced such POOR service. read more

Agh, I was really hoping to be able to leave a better review since we really enjoy the hibachi experience. I called to make a reservation about a week in advance for 15 people, got my confirmations the day before, all was well. We showed up for our reservation, and we're shown to two tables. It would have been nice to have known at the time of reservation that our party would be separated. We frequent hibachi near our house and I guess I was just expecting a different set up of tables, in any case still would have been nice to know ahead of time. Overall the experience was fine and our waitress was really sweet however, we had one interaction with a bartender that kind of blew everyone's mind. My husband ordered one of the punch bowls and he had a few decent sips left, a bartender, who must have been scanning the room came to our table and basically ask him to hurry and finish his drink because they needed the punch bowl for someone else... WHAT? I'm not even being dramatic when the jaws of everyone at my table dropped. That was just it. Perhaps the Miramar location should order more punch bowls to accommodate the popularity of the drink... read more

It's about the show, not the food. When the show falls short then why show up. Serving staff are great, the cook we had not so much. Food is very very salty, if you have high blood pressure don't come. Extremely over priced for the quality. I'm sure there are better places. Don't bother stopping by. read more

I've been to this location many times, and always loved the atmosphere. Laing was our Chef and he was great. We had a really nice and attentive waitress, but I forgot her name. We wanted to get with some of our family members, so we dined here and really enjoyed ourselves. Appetizers and entrees from sushi to poultry, they have it all here. We will return soon. read more

I used to love Benihana's back in the day before they became really popular and commercialized. I like the concept of having hibachi/food made right in front of you and it is fun to watch the chef "perform" his comedic and skilled act in front of you while cooking your dinner. However, I don't really enjoy this place any longer for the following reasons. 1 - The smell is overwhelming almost to the point where sometimes I feel like I have to step away to get a breath of fresh air outside and then come back in. By the time you leave, the smell is all over you including your clothes and in your hair. 2 - Have you ever noticed the amount of butter they use on everything their cooking? They just keep adding it and adding it, although the food does taste good I can't help but think how bad it is for you. 3 - It always seems like it's dirty. It doesn't look like they keep the place up on a daily basis AND they need some upgrading to make this place a little more modern and less dingy. It wasn't my idea to go here obviously but we had a large group going to celebrate someone's birthday and the person organizing this dinner chose this place most likely due to the seating arrangements. They give you a lot of food and I had leftovers but I couldn't even think about eating the next day because the after affects of eating here stay with you for days, and not in a good way. I know many people that love this spot so if you're feeling experimental go ahead and try them out you may love them. My experiences are that I would never choose to go here if it was up to me. read more

Let's just start this off by saying they're lucky they even got one star from me and it makes sense as to why their rating is so low. We had reservations for 10pm. We arrived at 10:02pm. The doors were locked. The hostess comes to the door and asks, "reservations?" Since we had that 10pm so she let us in. One person in our party was 10 minutes away. The manager shown in the picture I uploaded turned us away and stated that Benihana does not have a 15 minute grace period for reservations. He was extremely rude had zero customer service skills, wow! read more

We've been coming to this location for years. The wait is usually exceptionally long even with reservations. Once sitting they take long to attend you as well. While our service wasn't the best again, our chef was great. My only regret was not getting his name to name drop him on the review. He noticed my son like dinosaurs and he made one with the rice, which was original. He joked with us throughout the entire time and made our visit much more pleasant. We tried their new blue berry punch bowl, which was surprisingly good. Overall, I'd keep coming here, I just wish they'd work on fixing wait times and staff response time. read more

Celebrated a birthday at this location. The wait wasn't bad because we made reservations in terms of being seated. However, we did go to the bar for drinks while we waited lol. My first round was a coconut mojito. The consistency was yummy, but it did not taste like liquor was added. By this time we were seated, I ordered another coconut mojito and it was strong. I had never had a coconut mojito so strong. It was ok, but the liquor overpowered the actual flavor of the coconut mojito. It took about 1 hour in a half after being seated for the chef to begin cooking, but the food was tasty. I had the Benihana trio which is the steak, shrimp and chicken. Chicken fried rice,crunchy shrimp tempura roll and soup. Unfortunately, there was no ginger dressing for the salad so I passed. read more

I came into Benihana for lunch, it's easy to make a reservation which is recommended during lunch hours, as it can get very busy. I like to come during lunch because you can get a good a amount food for almost half the price; for lunch you get a choice of a soup or salad. I picked the soup, which was really good. For my entree I ordered the chicken fried rice with the hibachi steak. The food was really good, cooked to perfection. I really can never get tired of Benihana. The server was very kind and efficient. Our chef was fun and made sure to make us laugh. Really good lunch vibes, good food with a little entertainment for a great price. read more

Their rating is perhaps unrecoverably low. I have been here several times and it has always been great, and certainly no worse than other locations. I love their hibachi selections and they have a good value for their happy hour with food and drink specials. The only criticism I could offer if I had to is that they strategically staff short. What I mean is that if you come, even when they are slow, without a reservation you will have to wait for a table. It is what it is so just make sure you have a reservation. There have been a few times where we have just popped in to try our luck and every time the wait was too long to stay. I view this more as our fault than theirs, but it could cause problems for those that are more spontaneous with their dining. Join their Chef Club and get a $30 voucher to use on your birthday. Awesome deal! read more

We haven't even sat down to dinner and I am already wondering if we made a big mistake! We have reservations at 7:30 and was told or table is not ready! Why make a reservation then? When we were finally escorted to our table we learned we were placed at a hibachi communal table. Communal tables are not our style and paying extra for a "show" of someone cooking our food was not something we were willing to do. We were then taken to a smaller private table in the lounge which was adequate. The area was on the warm side so eating dinner was a bit uncomfortable. Even hubby was warm which is rather unusual for him. The food itself was also disappointing. We ordered the 5 course seafood dinner. The salad was good. ginger dressing always makes me happy. The seafood was underwelming. The size of the"jumbo" shrimp only if viewed under a magnifying glass, the baby scallops were also miniscule. For such a well known restaurant I was shocked by the lack of quality when it came to the food. The third star goes to our server who was very sweet and provided the proper amount of attention. read more

This was my second time going to this location and once again, my experience was great. I recommend making reservations beforehand. Last night we went to celebrate my son's 13th birthday and I had made the reservation for 6:00pm for a party of 6 on open table. We were seated right away, honestly within minutes of arriving (make sure everyone in your party is there on time, if you not, you'll not be sat until everyone is there). They accommodate any and all allergies and will ask before they take your order(s). Our server was Ryan. He was cool and very attentive to all of our inquiries and request. Our chef was Li,was amazing, he truly loves what he does and is a professional in every sense of the word. He has a great personality and made our table feel welcome. Li cooked everyone's steak to perfection, from medium rare to welldone! My son truly enjoyed his birthday and thanks to everyone that sang him happy birthday! Oh and parking is never an issue here, plenty of parking space available. read more

Third times the charm! The first time we tried was a Saturday night. We had a gift card and when we called to place our order, we were told that they only take gift cards Monday-Friday. The next time we tried to order was during the week. We kept calling but couldn't get through to anyone so decided to take a drive here. When we arrived, we saw customers and employees standing outside in the parking lot. There were a couple of cars that had pulled in and were being turned away by a manager type person. When we pulled up, he apologized and said that they were closed and didn't know when they could get back inside. My husband and I were off from work today so we decided to try again. When I called to place our order and explain that I had a gift card, I was told that I had to come in to place our order and then pay with our gift card. We crossed our fingers and drove here. We placed our order and paid with our gift card with no problems. We were told that it would be ready in 30-40 minutes and that they would call me when our food was ready. We ran over to Home Depot to kill some time and then came back even though we hadn't received a call. As we were walking in, my phone started ringing... perfect timing! We brought the food home but since we had a 20+ minute drive, some of the food was cold. The 5 course meal comes with salad, soup, 3 pieces of shrimp, vegetables & steamed rice (we upgraded to vegetable fried rice). We were also supposed to get tea (which I assume were tea bags) which wasn't in our package. My husband and I both ordered the filet mignon but his was supposed to be rare and mine medium. They both looked the same (medium) and the containers were not marked. The sauces that they gave you were only half full and not enough. I like to dunk everything in the Yum Yum sauce. The steak was tender and the fried rice was delicious. The guy who took our order and gave us our order was very nice. read more
