They had serene Japanese music playing in the background and beautiful Japanese art work displayed through out the restaurant. I've been to the location on the east side of Lancaster but never to this one. Right after we arrived patrons started to come in. Our server was Gigi and she was awesome. I can't remember the name of the guy that did our cooking but he did an amazing job. We ordered a little bit of everything and it was delicious. Thank you and see you next time.

We recently dined at Tokyo Steakhouse to celebrate my nephew's 16th birthday, and unfortunately,…read moreour experience with our server fell short. I do want to start by saying the host who greeted us was very pleasant and kind. I didn't catch her name, but she made a great first impression. From there, our server (I believe her name was Daisy) rushed us to place our orders, despite the fact that we were her only table at the time. It felt unnecessary and made the experience uncomfortable. When we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday, her response was simply, "I know," with no effort to engage or make the moment feel special. To be fair, she did bring us a couple of refills, but overall her attentiveness and social skills were not up to par, especially for an occasion like a 16th birthday where a little extra effort can make a big difference. In contrast, the cook was fantastic--very entertaining, personable, and truly made the hibachi experience enjoyable. He was definitely the highlight of our visit. However, service continued to be an issue. We had to rely on the busser for additional soda refills and eventually had to ask another staff member (possibly a manager) for the check and assistance with acknowledging the birthday. Unfortunately, there was little initiative from our server to check in or help make the celebration feel special. To be honest, the automatic gratuity was disappointing in this case. A $55 tip was added, but the level of service we received did not reflect that amount. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback and provides additional training, especially around customer engagement and attentiveness, because the overall experience could have been much better with stronger service.

One of the original teppanyakis in LA before it became popular! Much cleaner than Benihana and…read moresince it's smaller, more detailed customer service. It's still run by a Japanese family and feels more closer to a homey Japanese-American mom and pop. All the little photos and drawings give it a nice touch. Food was great and portions were generous. However, if you like medium rare food or fat on your steak, make sure to ask for rare and to keep the fat. The norm I think is most people want really lean and well done. My fam prefers stuff more rare and if you like it rare too, keep that in mind. The grill also contributes to cooking the food more well done. Overall, give Mori a try if you're in the area.

Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to what we remembered. Being given plastic utensils while dining in was surprising, especially at this price point.

I hope this is taken as constructive criticism, as we'd love to see the quality return to what it once was.

I think they may want to consider raising their prices to afford some upkeep on their premises, as it is aging. I ran across this place because it happened to be in the same parking lot as my primary destination, and I was pleasantly surprised. I have visited Benihanas before and this place had the same general vibe, but I had a better experience here than any Benihana I've been to. I had the NY steak entree which comes which a choice of soup (I had miso), a small salad, grilled shrimp appetizer, and I upgrade my steamed rice to fried rice for a few bucks. I also had the tempura banana with ice cream desert. I arrived alone. Having never been here I was impressed by the little pond and waterfall with stream and koi fish. The whole building had an air of what was once a premium setting but had succumbed to age and poor maintenence. I see potential here, but it would require a heavy financial investment at this time to repair and clean. I was sat with a group of a couple family's that had just returned from a beach trip. They were all very polite and nice, but the smell of coconut sunscreen became a feature of my dining experience. The cook put on a bit of a spectacle, lighting onions on fire and flipping food around. All of the food tasted good, not amazing, but I have no complaints. It was well worth the very reasonable price. The stand out part of my meal was the simple tempuraed banana with ice cream desert - I may return just for this!

My wife and I had not been to Kisho in over ten years, and for some reason it popped into her head…read moreto go. We invited another couple and headed out for an early dinner on a Friday night. First of all, they accepted a reservation. Doesn't sound like a big deal, except most of the restaurants where we live do not. It just makes it more convenient. We arrived a bit early and were asked to wait until the table was ready. They don't seat in this restaurant unless they have full chairs at the griddle, but they manage people well. We were seated right on time. Our server found us right away for drinks, and our chef soon showed up and began cooking. Like all Teppan restaurants, he did a show while he cooked our food. He was very personable and all of the food was cooked perfectly. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The only weird thing was no chopsticks! Forks were at the table, and while I didn't ask, I think they will provide them if you do. Because teppan is often sliced in pieces, it's always easier to eat with chopsticks. At any rate, service was good, food was good and all had a good time.

I wanted to try a lot of things she did not want to waste of space for the veggies although they did look good. I ordered the chili oil and the garlic butter. The garlic butter easily was shared between the fillet and the shrimp adding a nice umami flavor. The garlic oil was smoky and not too hot. The chicken fried rice in my opinion was better than Benihana's or just as good. Although the garlic noodles were a little sweet from my liking, I was evil easily able to alter them to something. I enjoyed with some chili oil and soy sauce. It tone down the sweet. Simple, clean decor. Several ways to see the menu on the wall LCD or by the counter. The service was very good, quick and kind. The quality of the product was very good. The fillet almost melted in your mouth, and the shrimp was cooked well without being rubbery. I spent $52 here to upgrade two chicken fried rice and garlic noodles. They have plenty of parking a huge parking lot, limited seating, maybe eight tables or so, mostly four tops.

The food is actually really really flavorful the lobster I had was very tender and juicy and the jumbo shrimp were a good l size. I would have ordered the chowmein though instead of the rice because the chowmein was way better! After discussing with the family we enjoyed it but it is 4 stars since it does take quite a while to have your meal and the customer service could be better. The food itself carries this place but 5 stars if they can improve service!

Another year, another birthday dinner at Benihana, which is pretty much the only time I come here…read more This year I actually got two BD deals. First was through their traditional (phased-out) Chef's Table Loyalty program--$30 off after an initial $30 spend (weekday dinner only, not including alcohol). Second was through their new Friends with Benefits Loyalty program--$50 off (no specifics on dinner or alcohol). Benihana is now part of The One Group that includes other restaurants like STK and Kona Grill where you can also earn points/rewards. I've seen the Benihana teppanyaki "show", and once is enough. It's best enjoyed with a group large enough to fill up an entire table, otherwise you are grouped with others. And the wait for a chef can be long depending on how many are working at that time and the number of tables occupied. Benihana food is mediocre at best, far from authentic, and quite pricey for what you get--without the BD offer, there is no value, although they do have some specials and a Happy Hour menu. For the past few years, we've avoided the teppanyaki tables and go to the sushi bar/lounge, which has bar seating and high and low-top tables. Here's where you can do Happy Hour, Lounge menu, or the regular menu without the show and less of a wait. I noticed in the interim between my 2 visits, the menu prices increased! The Happy Hour menu is not included with the BD offer, so I usually order sushi/sashimi. This year I tried a few noodle dishes. Although there is a sushi bar, I don't think it has traditional seating nor a dedicated sushi chef. Frankly, when I've ordered sushi/sashimi in the past, it was pretty much like supermarket sushi, often haphazardly cut, as if a butter knife was used. I ordered the Spicy Crispy Rice app both visits--6 pieces of crispy rice topped with tuna, yellowtail and salmon and jalapeno slices. The fish are indistinguishable from each other, the black pepper soy sauce cloying, and some of the rice crisped to burnt. I did two noodle dishes--shrimp yakisoba and seafood diablo (scallops, calamari and shrimp with udon in a spicy sauce). Both came with onion soup, salad, steamed rice and sauteed veggies (zucchini and onions). The shrimp yakisoba was decent, although the shrimp were smallish and probably frozen. I asked for less spice on the seafood diablo, but it still packed a punch. The shrimp were the same, the scallops were quartered but tasted like scallops. The calamari, however, were large hacked-up pieces with a texture like a faux seafood item a vegan would order (texturized vegetable protein). There were no tentacle pieces. There were a lot of yellow bell peppers plus some mushrooms and frozen corn. I do like the Benihana Lemonades, available in 4 flavours, refills included. Overall a slightly better and less depressing experience compared to years past. A HUGE shout out to my server for both visits, Alaast, who is actually one of Benihana's supervisors. She was also the hostess my second time, and the bartender and lounge server both times, and seemingly a back waiter at the teppanyaki tables as needed. Service in the lounge in the past has ranged from meh to non-existent, so Alaast is a great asset. I may try Happy Hour here one day, although it's hard to beat the HH at Cheesecake Factory next door.

The service was great and the food was really good and the portions are huge. All of the servers and chefs pay attention to small details and made sure to provide us with refills and great service. Once pretty big issue I had was how hot it was inside the restaurant at all times. The thermostat inside said 84 and it really felt even hotter. Although I understand we went during the peak of summer heat and there is constant cooking with fire going on, the temperature inside the restaurant is almost unbearable. We were sweating the whole time.

I realize prices are up everywhere, but charging extra for a standard garnish that should come with the drink is absurd.

It's like getting a single malt scotch with a coke on the side--most places don't charge extra for a splash of soda, nor would they itemize the soda if you ordered a scotch and coke. To top it off, the server never mentioned the added fee..
