    The food and experience was good nothing special. The one in Las Vegas was amazing and it’s going to be hard to top our experience there but I have no complaints about this. The food was good and the service was good as well. I would go back.

    Bad service, very long wait time for the table and for the meal to start (50 minutes). The worst experience was in the reception though, a host that was very rude. The experience is nice for kinds but the food is not good. $300 for 4 people- plenty of better options than this. Never again.

    Wait (with a reservation) was terrible as was the food. Chicken was dry and filet wasn’t good. On top of that, the cost to quality was awful! Never again!

    The food and chef and waiter were excellent however the wait time and front of house staff needs improvement. A reservation for 7pm and we didn’t get our table until 7.33pm. The reservation process and waiting area were not up to scratch and it ruined an otherwise good evening.

    I haven’t been to Benihana on my birthday in 5 or so years. I am celebrating in NYC and thought it would be fun to book a reservation while I am here. I was highly disappointed. The food was good but service was slow and the show was practically nonexistent. For how high the prices are I expect way more than just a server.
