Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Benihana - Chelsea offers a lively dining experience with "fantastically entertaining" chefs, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere perfect for celebrations. The restaurant is well-loved for its classic concept, especially by families. However, expect a "smoky" environment due to cooking smoke, which some guests find off-putting.

Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing and fell short of expectations. On a positive note, the service was good, and the chef was very friendly and welcoming. However, the overall atmosphere felt dull and lacked the warmth and vibrancy you would hope for. The place has potential, but there is definitely room for improvement in both the food quality and the ambience to make it a more enjoyable dining experience.

The overall experience was amazing. Food was great, atmosphere was lively, chef was dope, and the service was on point too. No complaints at all! Well…… just one….. don’t wash your hair, or wear your best aftershave/perfume, you’ll walk out smelling like an actual hot plate no matter what! The smoke in the venue is to be expected of course but even with the huge extractor fans above the cooking plates…. It’s so Smokey it extends down the corridor to the bathrooms. When I walked out my eyes looked as though I’d smoked a phat one they were so red. And my partner said could smell the food in her hair through the show we watched afterwards, which for the audience was a blindfolded performance, so her senses were heightened. Would go again for sure, just wouldn’t make so much of an effort to dress up and smell good for date night. Could just roll up in my trackie bs and a hoodie for some good food and good atmosphere.

Fantastically entertaining dining experience! Our chef Conde was so funny - loads of jokes and juggling of knives and playing with fire. This is a great night out - would highly recommend it. The set meal is a good price, we just spent way too much on cocktails - they were so delicious! Especially the cloud 9 and the Agave surprise 🍸 🍹
