   Our chef was awesome and food was good but the server was a bit clumsy and not really professional. We almost paid an additional $75 for someone else’s plate that wasn’t in our group. They did end up taking it off but I had to show them proof of who got what and not. Just check you charges when you get the check.

   Our Chef tonight was Bryan. He was excellent and engaged with everyone at the table. Our food was prepared perfectly. Our server was Kyle and he was attentive and was there when anyone needed something. He took a great picture of us too Ask for Bryan and Kyle on your next visit to Benihana in Anaheim.

   We were kindly seated in a closed room area, which made it so much easier to talk with my parents who are hard of hearing and with my service dog. Our waitress was exceptional and we had a good chef too! But honestly the waitress made the night in how she treated us. And being able to be in that room, it made the evening a lot better for all of our unique issues and disabilities that we deal with. Thank you!

   My reservations were at 7 pm. We didn’t get sat until 7:55 pm. Having two small kids, this is really annoying. They need to do better about their reservation times as this wasn’t the first time this has happened. I’ve had to wait a long time to get sat after my time passed every time Ive had reservations.

   Who knew coming to Benihana’s on a Wednesday night was going to be hectic. Well let me tell you coming to place where the Anaheim Convention Center is just a couple miles away you wouldn’t be that shocked. The food was good, as always. Got to love that chicken fried rice and ginger sauce. Our chef was amazing like always, Oscar, thank you for a great meal and lots of laughs.
