He was pretty awesome.
Michelle M.

It's Hibachi. They won't seat you until your whole party is present. This place is clean and they're friendly. But really you pay for the experience, right? Our chef was pretty great. He put on quite a show. So impressive. You can tell he works on his routine. The food was okay. Some things were a little salty but overall good. And there was plenty. My mom and I shared a meal and my husband had his own AND some of ours. There is a lot for parking.

Our cook Agusto

Our cook was Augusto. All food was cooked just right and delicious! He was efficient and entertaining.

This is still our favorite place for hibachi we just wish there was more of a show for the kids like some other small places. We will keep going back because we love the food quality and the family bonding while here

Came here for our anniversary and it was amazing. From the mushroom onion soup, to the hibachi show that my daughter absolutely loved, to the delicious food that was prepared by out chef, Omar, to not having to ever all got drinks, they were amazing. The service is so good that you never have to ask for seconds. The ambiance is calm and inviting.

My picky eater likes the Onion Soup and the Blue Banzai mocktail! Total win.

We haven't been to this location before, but it was just as good an experience as always. I personally love the scallops and the filet. On a huge positive note, my picky eater ate all of his shrimp! They do have great shrimp here. I also enjoyed the Blue Banzai margaria which was delicious and my picky eater got the same but a mocktail. Finished it. The show is always fun and funny. The chef's personality is great and his cooking skill was excellent. Perfect Med Rare steak. Everything was cut well and obviously served hot. My wife had fillet and chicken and my daughter had the fillet and lobster tail. There was some sharing going on which works out perfectly. I recommend getting an early reservation because all these get really busy and it takes a while with all the orders and people to cook for. We sat at 3:30 and left at 6 to give you an idea. It was a wonderful time though.

We decided to come in to use our $30 birthday reward. It is restricted to Monday-Thursday dinners and must print certificates. The place had a few groups on 2 tables when we arrived and we were the 3rd table to be set up. After us there were 3 more tables of customers, decent amount for a Monday evening. We ordered the scallops, shrimp, steak and seafood diablo- noodle dish with seafood. There was a decent amount of food, got the soup, salad, shrimp appetizers- a few pieces of small shrimp and then our main courses. The steak was done decently, not overcooked. The scallops and shrimp were definitely overcooked and could have been removed from the tabletop earlier especially for the size of them. The scallops definitely shrunk because they were overcooked. We got the regular white rice instead of the fried rice. Since we were celebrating birthdays we also got the ice cream for dessert, they come out and sing to you in English and Japanese. And we also got a table picture a nice keepsake for the evening. All in all a decent experience at Benihana, definitely on the pricier end so worth the birthday coupon.

Run down, a bit dirty and just an overall underwhelming experience. I could tell the hibachi chef was less than thrilled. The people at our hibachi table were throwing them back. The wait staff really missed out on a ton of alcohol sales as they sat there with empty drinks trying to flag down any available servers. At $9-$15 a drink and 4 of them drinking rapid fire they could have easily made about 60 bucks in alcohol alone. There is a language barrier between the wait staff and the customers. It took me three times to get them to understand I was ordering a sushi roll as my meal and to bring it with the rest of my food. I would not go back.

Do they put on a show/do tricks while they are cooking?

Yes they do it with the food while cooking. Have your camera ready for the flaming onion. It's like a volcano

Are there any vegetarian options at Benihana?

There isn't a preset vegetarian option available. You can order a vegetarian meal though. You need to pass on the onion soup which is made of chicken and beef. You can order side vegetables a la carte, vegetable fried rice (remove egg to make vegan)… Read more

We thought the sushi was pretty, and had good textures, but wasn't very flavorful. The bulgogi was less pretty, but tasty, with rice and glass noodles and a standard salad. The miso soup was good. The place is small, but there are a half dozen tables, and everything is decorated and there is music playing. It seemed cozy and cheerful. The server was very helpful and quick to respond to questions or requests. We will have to come back to try the fried chicken and the ramen and see what we like best.

For our entrees, we both ordered sushi. I wish I could remember the name of the roll I ordered, but it disappeared from my mind the moment my friend's food came. I ordered one sushi roll, which arrived in 10 pieces on a regular plate. Whatever it was, it was fine. Meanwhile, my friend ordered 2 crunch rolls, which arrived on a massive wooden platter. Twenty pieces in all, but substantially more food than you'd expect from two rolls. And, it was really, really good! We ended up sharing both of our entrees, and had an entire crunch roll leftover to bring home. A few weeks later, I'm still thinking about that spicy crunch. I'll definitely order one for myself the next time I'm there.

The people that run this place make sure you are walking into your home dining room to eat. The decor is very sound and welcoming. I have come so many times now that we know the servers by heart. They are very kind and go above and beyond to make your experience a great one. I ordered the sweet potato roll and added spicy tuna. The roll usually comes tempura, battered and with avocado already which most places don't even do. The quality of the fish is phenomenal and fresh and the whole roll put together is great. Another spectacle at this location is the chocolate most dessert. They make it every week and it is a colder version of a three chocolate layered Ferrero Rocher. The side salad is fresh and comes with a ginger glaze, and the miso soup is a perfect balance of savory with the included toppings. Overall everything on this menu is a must try and the ambience, plus the service plus the food makes this an above and beyond place for the suburbs of Chicago. I also met the owner, Michael. He was very kind and one of the things that resonated with me was that he said I want to keep things the way they are. He did mention that the chocolate mousse dessert might come off the menu, which I advised and highly recommended not to do. It is homemade and wonderful and a fan favorite, whatever you do, please continue making that one item. Tim, one of the servers is also a phenomenal person that has been there from the start and is so respectful and courteous in his service. Amazing job in keeping the place feeling like a home and so welcoming!

I still enjoy the big pieces of fish and mix of cucumbers, avocado, seaweed with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. There was a time it included edamame but doesn't look like it is included anymore. My kids ordered the spider roll, dragon roll and beef udon that came with a california roll. The rolls were a good size and had a good ratio of rice to other ingredients. The pieces of sashimi are good sized with appropriate amount of rice in each piece. The salmon kama is a nice appetizer. It comes out scorching hot and crispy. It can be tricky to eat because of the bones, but worth the work! I really like the design of the booths with the authentic decor resembling Japanese architecture. I don't like that the tables are consistently sticky when we eat there and if we don't get a booth, the tables are wobbly. No matter where we sit, there is always a table with a wobbly leg. The service is always super welcoming and friendly. Our waiter may have been new and still in training because we waited 24 mins from when we asked for the check until it was brought to us. And even then, I had to ask the busboy to remind our server for the check because he kept walking in and out of the room taking other tables' orders and refilling water. Upon realizing the long waiting time, the server was apologetic and still very kind which I appreciated. As we were leaving all the other staff made a point to say thank yous and good byes.
