    Not as good as other times Orders not brought and had to remind servers. The chef we had this time did not cook stuff well enough such as the shrimp .. slightly raw inside We will still come back but of the many times we have been here this was not the best.

    Don’t come if you are expecting a hibachi chef. Ours only did a flaming volcano and then proceeded to ignore us. We are used to authentic Hibachi where the chef is interactive and fun. There are a lot of “tricks” that are standard, and this was not hibachi style at all. The server looked annoyed to be there, and no one was welcoming. It’s a nice meal if you aren’t familiar with a true hibachi experience. We were let down.

    This was an expected Benihana experience for the most part. My family had fun. More training is needed at this particular location for what vegan means and how to cook for a vegan at the table.
