    Our servers and chef were great, but we had a 6:30 reservation and didn't get seated until 7:30 and no food until almost 8:00. If you are over booked, shut down your reservations. Will not be going back.

    Made reservations for my family of four. Once we were being seated, we were seated with a family of three and then came the issue. A lady with her child also was seated with us, which now made 9 of us all crammed up. This lady was very rude to our chef named Andre. The lady kept complaining about how she wanted her rice, not enough steak and shrimp, “burnt” rice, all while being on her phone and watching social media videos with profanity. Andre did his best to accommodate this rude customer, but you could see he was having a hard time concentrating on cooking for the rest of the table. Managers should be walking around the restaurant to ensure all guests are respectful and following the code of conduct. I doubt we would will be dining at this location anymore.

    We had to wait over 1 hour past our reservation time to be seated. Our server was working multiple tables and due to the fact that they were running out of drink glasses, they had to get the glasses from the customer then take to the back to refill it, so it made more work for them. The chef was super rushed and only did the choo choo train onion and a hibachi rice beating heart as their show. They over seasoned, over buttered and left all of the meat in gigantic pieces. Whole colossal shrimp and beef chunks so large that they were awkward and hard to eat without a knife. Then they charged a service charge because we were a large party and we were expected to tip our server on top of that. The restrooms were gross and the women’s restroom had a sink and the opposite side soap dispenser out of order with a super slippery floor. We used to love to go to Benihana to celebrate our birthdays but after this visit we will never go back. Don’t waste your money or your time.

    Food is always good but service isn’t great. I wonder if the servers are stretched really thin. We never even got a refill for water, my chair had oil on the back of it, and we weren’t seated until 35 min after our reservation time (what’s the point of having one?). I’ve been coming to Benihana for 25 years and it just seems to be going downhill.

    Well this was a rough experience - reservation was for 7pm Due to not being able to get our food in the grill until almost 9pm (8:47pm) my party left. We did not want to eat that late in the evening. We paid for the drinks, the soup and salad, but we left due to the long wait. Our server Myesha, was attentive and on point. However, due to circumstances outside her control she was not tipped. So overall experience was horrible to say the least. Will try the Santa Monica establishment next time. Hopefully it will be a better experience.
