We were seated in Mike's station who happened to be bartending and had a station nearby. Our drinks were superb and on Hasim's recommendation we ordered an Asian pear Martinis for the table to accompany our appetizer. The dinner was prepared perfectly and came with soup and salad- both fresh and delicious. There's was not a single thing to take home... The food was delicious and I am adding this location to my regular Bay area rotation. Mike works F-M and I can't speak to anyone else's service besides their host Hasim, the friendly and accommodating Asian busser whose name I don't know, and Mike. Thank you all for a lovely dinner and wonderful experience!! I will be back OH YES- I WILL BE BACK!!

Completely disappointed. I would never go back. I can't believe they are in business to be honest…read more The ambiance is so dirty and out dated. They haven't put any love into this business in a long, long time. It being a restaurant and a place you eat, it needs to be clean and not smell offensive. Do me a favor and take the elevator up and let me know how it smells, I had to hold my breath. OK so lets start with the food. The salad was literally soggy and not flavorful. I usually give leftovers to the homeless or take home for myself but that salad I wouldn't even give away to the homeless, yes it was that undesirable. The tempura shrimp was not crispy as it should be. The food was just ok and the portions were not equivalent to the price your paying. Im sure plenty of people might be OK with mediocre but unfortunately I am not. The only bright side was the friendly staff which reminds me, Our wings came out way after the food that I even forgot to take a picture of them. The waiter apologized for it and gave us a free drink. Something is better than nothing. I did appreciate that. P.S. the parking lot is run down and unsafe to walk if your in high heals. There is no love or passion left in this joint, only cashing in on the allure of hibachi cooking. No thank you.

I ordered the Garlic Veggie Yaki Udon, and it was delicious, the perfect portion size and full of flavor. The service was also very quick, which I appreciated. My only suggestion would be to work on making the customer service a bit friendlier. It wasn't a bad experience by any means, but a warmer interaction would have made the visit even better. One thing I really liked is that they offer a loyalty card for repeat customers. If you plan on coming back, don't forget to ask for one! Overall, good food, fast service, and definitely worth a visit.

We celebrated a family birthday at Benihana in San Francisco, and it turned out to be one of the…read morehighlights of our trip. The service was exceptional. We brought our own birthday cake, and our server patiently helped us place 81 individual candles on it. That level of patience and kindness was something we've rarely experienced and truly made our celebration feel special. Our chef was entertaining and fun to watch, making the teppanyaki experience just as enjoyable as the meal itself. The fried rice was perfectly cooked, the Wagyu steak was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and even my son who is a very picky eater kept asking for more of the steak. My scallops and shrimp were also cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, and delicious. The biggest surprise was my dad. He almost exclusively eats Vietnamese food and rarely has much praise for other cuisines, but he genuinely enjoyed the meal and had nothing but good things to say. From the outstanding service to the delicious food and entertaining chef, everything came together to create a truly memorable evening for our family. We will definitely return the next time we're in San Francisco. Highly recommended!

We came here on vacation we expected the same service as back home The waitress lost our ticket, so she had to ask us again for our order. She never turned on the grill, so when the chef came we had to wait. We have been sitting for 2 hours and still waiting for ice cream and our bill. Let's also add that manager, hostess, and waiter were complaining because the waitress left and they were stuck with our table. Not that it's needed, but not even a discount was offered, we waited for our drink refill, never did they ask us if we needed anything. Very disappointed with this Benihana for lack of professional and lack of customer service.

The food was good, and Santiago's service was exceptional, but the uncomfortable temperature and poor attitude from the waitress left room for improvement.

Rolls were hearty, but covered with lots of sauces. This is the kind of sushi we were looking for so it hit the spot! We had some leftovers what were delicious the next day!

The waiters and waitresses are all very good at providing the best customer service support by standing by the customer's dining table the entire dining experience with the customer. I spent 2 hours eating here, and the waiter was standing by my table the entire 2 hour time. The waiter spent that much time talking and got to know me and got me familiar with the restaurant and the menu item top choices. The food is super good. Every sushi roll was made correctly and all of the variety of food tasted very satisfying. Besides Sashimi, for the best hot foods here, they have hot clay pot ramen, udon, and hot clay pot rice bowls with their delicious Japanese curry sauce and their delicious hot buttery infused garlic toppings. Unagi, Salmon, Tuna, Shrimp, Chicken, Pork, or Beef. They also have unlimited all u can eat buffet grilled Galbi rib steaks for dinner. I highly recommend this place; and I have returned to eat at this place more than seven times. The dinner experience is the most enjoyable. I really liked this place a lot.
