   We haven’t been in years a friend recently told us the one in Stuart is great so we decided to try it again. The parking is horrendous, shaped like a z…you can only go one way down and reverse or k-turn your way back out. We parked by the entrance curbside like others. We opted for the bar rather than the hibachi seating which was very loud. Downstairs is freezing perhaps to keep upstairs as comfortable as possible with the smoke n added heat. They offer a pretty extensive happy hour menu from 3-6 M-Fri with both drinks and appetizers. They are currently running a great special $39 for a 5 course meal. Mushroom soup was a simple but too salty broth, and salad fresh with choice of ginger or yum yum sauces. Pork gyoza and dragon roll for appetizers. The pork gyoza was odd, so much filler it barely tasted or had the consistency of meat, dragon roll was decent. I had the hibachi steak and hubs had the hibachi shrimp. Both entrees came with sautéed onions and zucchini, mine also had mushrooms. A bit under-seasoned, you’re relying on the sauces to add any sort of flavor. Shrimp was a nice portion but pretty small and steak was tender. The chicken fried rice I thought was better, badly heated through it also lacked much flavor. Scoop of Ice cream finished the meal. Overall it was a great value.

   We loved our evening. We shared a table with a couple and a lovely family of 4. Felix cooked for us and everything was delicious. I highly recommend Benihana in Stuart.

   I’ve been a loyal customer at the Stuart location nearly twenty years now. Needless to say the past few visits have been absolutely horrible. It seen as though the company is more about making money than the customer service or the Benihana experience. This particular time has put the nail in the coffin for my family and myself . We came out to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The waitress was great ,but the cook we wasn’t so sure. Only thing I will say is I left there without even eating dinner. I ask the manager to cancel my order that’s just how bad it was .
