Love the food...not so much the service! I never find anyone too friendly but the food is so good you kind of overlook that. Is it a cultural thing? I don't know. But again - love the food.

Really do love the concept and the food at Benihana... But the bathrooms are filthy, the carpet smells bad in the restaurant and we got tired of the grill masters throwing shrimp and other foods at us! Pretty bad when they attempt to throw food in your mouth and they miss. You then have to try to deal with the... More

How can you go wrong with a hibachi steakhouse?? The food is always delicious and the cooks are always very personable and funny.

We were in a party of six and had a good time at lunch at Benihana's. It was fun watching the cook make the food. Is this the best food in the world? No... but it was fun and it was quiet enough to watch the chef and have a fun conversation. Prices for lunch are reasonably priced..... There were... More

We visited this restaurant two years ago with a group of friends before a show at the Aronoff. It was dark and dirty -- the chairs and carpeting were quite soiled and needed to be replaced. I can not imagine what it must be like now since reviewers are still noting that it needs updating. The food was greasy and... More
