    Today was a terrible experience. 1. Reservation was at 6:30pm and the chef got to the table at 830pm. 2. The party of 6 next to us consisted of 5 teenage girls and one adult. This was the worse experience ever. Two of the girls kept melting the crayons on the grill and the adult didn’t even address it or correct the behavior. 3. When the chef walked away to get a container for my rice (to go rice) one of them stuck her fork on the rice! Disgusting!🤮 and the mom didn’t even address it or apologized. You can tell the mother is clearly the issue. J can’t believe she took no accountability for her daughter’s action. My husband immediately told the chef what happened and the chef was in disbelief. He immediately apologized and told us he would cook another batch of rice and comp the rice for the awful experience. The chef was very nice, friendly and the food was delicious. The waitress seems like she was having a rough day….

    The food was excellent. Alex was a fantastic cook and reminded me of the way the food tasted more than 15 years ago. Our server was of top of everything. Will be coming back.

    It seemed like there was a shortage of chefs. Our table waited 45 mins for someone, and the rest of the room seemed the same. From being sat to paying was 2 hours for a party of 2.

    With reservations my party had to wait an additional 45 minutes to be seated! Once seated the server took our order and completely forgot alot of what we ordered including the drinks. Im guessing the New Years Eve took a toll on the restaurant workers. It was extremely loud and smoky in our area. I wasnt comfortable in my chair either. The chair wobbled and being in the corner gave less leg room. The chef was great though and tried his best to make up for all the delays!

    We had reservations and in expectation of the New Years Eve crowd we arrived at least 30 minutes early and upon check in with host he advised us “At least an hour wait…” we did not want to wait and instead of a night out we returned home and made a nice meal. This Benihana reported me as a no show reservation, Open Tabke has taken care of that. I have been to multiple Benihana’s locations and aways enjoy the whole experience although with such POOR MANAGEMENT at this location we would never return to Benihana Torrance location. I’ve also read a few yelps beside posting my own.
