   They forgot my daughter's chicken and my steamed rice. Had to ask for numerous items. Our chef was fantastic and sweet

   We arrived at 3:30pm. There was no one really there. We were sat immediately and a nice server came over to greet us and take drink orders. About 10 minutes later she returned, with no drinks, to inform us she would sit more people with us. No problem. 10 minutes later, she returned with drinks for the entire table. 40 minutes pass and I ask for our check because we still hadn’t seen the chef. She tells us she has to get manager but then the chef finally comes out. By this time it is 4:34. An hour later! Then the chef even told us he just came in after 4. If you all don’t plan to staff properly after the lunch rush, you should just close until 5.

   Unreal! Total nightmare! We had a reservation and waited for two hours-no food! It took an hour and a half just to get drinks! The manager just hid in the kitchen-never came to talk with us! The restrooms were deplorable and I will never ever go there again!

   Christmas night and it was amazing! My girlfriend shares her birthday with Christmas and having a place that she can enjoy herself on Christmas is hard to find! Jason not only made our night but he made our Christmas! We will always ask to sit with him!

   XMAS day is always extremely busy, so you need patience. The new management team is phenomenal and has this location running very well. The good was excellent, thank you, Chef Jason! The service was also very good, thank you Gabby!

   Way overbooked for Christmas. We had a reservation for 6:30, never seated till 8, never are till after 9.ran out of some drinks, service was haphazard because they were short staffed. Food is pricey for what you get, although the preparation theatrics is part of it. Will never do this for Christmas again. They should have turned people away who didn't have reservations.

   We booked a table Christmas night. Waiting 1.5 hours past our reservation to be seated. Then waited over an hour at the table for a chef. Staff was pleasant and clearly trying. But waiting over 2 hours for food was ridiculous. And they didn’t comp anything after all that. Not sure what it is like on a regular night. But I wouldn’t go there again on a holiday. Staff told us they double booked all the reservations.

   What a mess! Booked a reservation that they couldn’t even come close to - 1.5 hour wait! Service was saved by our chef Jason but the rest of the experience was terrible. Will save my money and avoid this place in the future.

    My family of 4 had a dinner reservation for 5:00. We drove an hour to get there, but we arrived early in the event we could be seated early but we also didn’t want to be late. We were told they were running over an hour late! So, with 2 small children in tow we waited almost 2 hours in our car in the parking lot. We actually had to go to QT to get a snack because the kids were starving. When we were finally seated around 6:00, it took another 30 minutes for someone to take our drink and appetizer orders. Our drinks arrived another 30 minutes later. My appetizer was wrong, so the correct one didn’t come out until the chef was already at the table cooking. My husband’s drink didn’t arrive until he was half finished with his meal. My kids food didn’t arrive until we were half finished with our meals. The people next to us never got their drink orders. The server messed up our ticket 3 times, and we ended up not finding the third mistake until after she ran our card. They owe us over $65, and the manager said she can’t really do anything about it because corporate has to get involved. So, basically I’ll never see that money again. The experience was so terrible, but the food really didn’t justify the wait or the money. Honestly. Save yourself about $200 and go to your local neighborhood hibachi restaurant instead. Benihana is a joke. I had never been before but I promise I will never return. Absolute, waste of time and money.
