   I made a reservation for five of us and when we arrived they added a party of three women and an infant to our table. I normally do not mind other people joining the table but this case turned out to me unacceptable. Their order included many items and meals to go along with variations to the menu of their own. Our server Sharon and our chef Jesse did an excellent job but our food was delayed because of all the additional fried rice orders Jesse had to prepare before he could prepare our meal. I usually save my fried rice to eat with my Hibachi chicken but in this case I ate all my rice before Jesse even was able to start cooking the other part of the meals. And then of course the veggies were last. Box it up to go!! If it is possible I would like to be able to request to be seated as a group alone next time we visit your restaurant.

   Went for lunch with my teenaged son and senior citizen father. Our server was excellent as was our chef. The quality of food was excellent; however, the portion has gone down significantly.

   Our server, Yilena was terrific. Our hibachi chef, Armando was skilled and entertaining. We were seated facing the water. The food was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Our group ordered the A5 Wagyu Japanese steak, the Seafood Diablo, NY Strip Steak, and Teriyaki Chicken. A great dining experience.

    Celebrated my husband's birthday tonight as we always do every year at Benihanas. We had a great table and our waitress was super nice and attentive. She was ready to refresh drinks and made sure we had everything we needed. Efren was our chef and everything he made was delicious. That was the second time Efren cooked for us and it was so tender and full of flavor. Efren did all the usual tricks and was quite pleasant.
