It wasn’t that busy. The service was slow. The food came out and sat on the counter for 20 minutes. Our waitress came back said she’s here. Well she was there the whole time serving other tables. We told her the food had been out on the counter for 20 minutes. We sent the food back apparently they just warmed it, they certainly didn’t redo it. It was a rubbery hard horrible. I can’t recommend this place to anybody especially based on the prices. Won’t be going back there anytime soon.

I love to order items that are probably not typically ordered! My favorites are Agadashi tofu and the hamachi Kama . My mom likes the boat lunches and the steak and grilled shrimp are delicious. The staff is friendly ! Kimono is a favorite and we like to eat there at least once a month! I have never booked a “party” grill table -it sure looks fun and the food always smells wonderful and looks delicious! PS. the fish aquarium and the warrior metal gear is cool too

The service was terrible. We had a new waitress and just because 2 people in our group ordered an appetizer they did not start cooking the habachi food until an hour and 1/2 later. Terrible timing and the kids were so hungry. I had to eventually ask the waitress to please start cooking.

We had such a nice time! My 5 year old son absolutely loved it. We have been before to Benihana many times but this place takes the cake! Better show, better food, better ambiance and overall better experience. Highly recommend.
