I had an excellent experience at this restaurant today. From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, but I would especially like to recognize Jason for his exceptional customer service. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish exceeded my expectations. The quality, flavor, and presentation were all excellent. Combined with the outstanding service, it made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. Thank you, Jason, and the entire team for making us feel so well taken care of. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back!

I've been coming to this Benihanas since I was really little. I've seen how it's changed a lot. But it's still my favorite. I have to say the best chef hands down is Luis! If you're going to come here I strongly recommend that you request him to cook for you. He cooks so delicious! He definitely has me wanting to come back for more! The food always comes out perfect when he cooks for us. He makes the experience so delightful!

Food is very good and very expensive. Atmosphere and experience is one of a kind. I'd come here for special occasions once in a while. We got our appetizers after we finished our meals, apparently they only had one sushi chef at the time? But it was good.
