OMAR A. MUHAMMAD, TH.M - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2025-1-2

On the first day of 2025, we celebrated life at Benihana. The food was delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the show put on by the chef. One person in our party had a birthday, and the staff celebrated with a song and a special treat. The atmosphere is very family-friendly, and this location even has a second-level bar. There is 90 minutes of free parking available across the street. The prices are a bit high, averaging around $50 per person, excluding drinks. Overall, it was a fun experience! Additionally, a staff member came by, took a picture of us, and placed it in a frame for us to keep.

Service was great and the food was pretty good! This was my first time at a Benihanas, and it was a work trip. We came in the middle of the week around 5ish, and it took quite a while for us to get seated even with a reservation. Once at the table, things moved pretty quickly from drinks all through food service. I had a good time! Each part of the meal was really tasty, and I really liked the rice. It's definitely a little show when you come here! We also had a child with a bday in the group, so that was a fun time for him. Our server was awesome and made sure we were all having a good time and had some neat tricks. I definitely recommend this place if you are coming with a group of friends. I got the scallops, and they were peeeeerfect! This was a great atmosphere and a fun experience. I would definitely give it a try if you haven't before.
