    Sit at the sushi bar during lunch - the chef is delightful and gives you the best cuts of sashimi! Will definitely be going back!

    Believe it or not, this place has a great happy hour. Half priced signature cocktails. The bar tenders don't skimp on the alcohol. Two strong Benitini's under $10 and I'm ready to go.

    This is not a good place to eat! You pay more but you eat less! We shared table with other guest who ate, and we also shared the food with them? It was unfair! Heared them complaining, too! FAIL!

    Go to Samurai. Although it is part of the same company, the food, service, and atmosphere are much better at Samurai.

    I was not satisfied with my dinner. I'm a regular at Samurai so considering Benihana owns Samurai, it would be more or less the same. Benihana does not have the Shrimp sauce (pink sauce)FAIL!

    Been to a couple of other Benihana's... This is by far the worst! Very bad service, spent ages waiting at the table, the typical Benihana style is completely missing. Eat somewhere else!

    Do not sit at a regular table. Whatever the wait for the hibachi(cooks) table, is worth it! The service is horrible! Manager was the waiter so he had no urgency for tips. Never had such a bad time!

    Was very surprised by the lack of a "show" by the chef. Also, not happy that the server forgot about the food allergies, luckily we were paying attn. This was our 2nd visit and the magic was gone :(
