Best Japanese Restaurants in Bratenahl

We went for my daughters 22nd birthday and Sally was a fantastic server/bartender. The food and drinks were complex and delicious we will go there again.

My recent visit to Benihana was a truly delightful experience, thanks in large part to my exceptional server, Kevin. While my arrival started with a slight hiccup, the rest of the evening was superb. Upon entering, I encountered a minor issue with my reservation and was kept waiting by the front desk staff, despite arriving on time. However, they were very apologetic about the delay, which I appreciated. The moment I was finally able to speak with Kevin, he immediately stepped in and took care of the situation, ensuring I was seated as quickly as possible and minimizing any further inconvenience. I was particularly impressed with Kevin's attentiveness and understanding. Knowing I was in a hurry to get to another engagement, he ensured my food was prepared and delivered with impressive speed, without making me feel rushed or neglected. He checked in on me regularly while eating, always with a genuine smile, and made sure everything was to my liking. Kevin's friendly and professional demeanor made the experience very comfortable and enjoyable. Speaking of the food, the Wagyu steak I ordered with my birthday coupon was absolutely divine. It was incredibly savory and melt-in-your-mouth delicious – cooked to perfection. The entire meal was a culinary treat, and Kevin's attentive service only enhanced the experience. Overall, my visit to Benihana was fantastic. Kevin's outstanding service, combined with the delicious food, more than made up for the initial reservation issue with the front desk. Their apology and Kevin's subsequent care, particularly his quick service given my time constraints, turned what could have been a slightly frustrating start into a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend Benihana, and if you're lucky enough to have Kevin as your server, you're in for a treat!

What an amazing Valentines Day dinner. Chief Lee and his staff are amazing. The servers were VERY attentive. And this is on one of their busiest days of the year. Exceeded our expectations. When you are paying top end price for food and are also receiving top end service and top end food that is exactly what you want. Well done Goma! See you soon!

Delicious! Can't believe I've lived next door for 15 years and never eaten here. Udon soup, ribs, specialty roll, fries, everything was delicious!

We loved our dining experience. We had a party of four and our seating was perfect. The restaurant was very busy but we could have conversation and hear each other without any issues. The food and cocktails were great and our waitress had perfect suggestions for items to try. Everyone enjoyed the evening.
