Wait was incredibly long. We had a 6:30pm reservation but didn’t get seated for over an hour and then didn’t get a chef for another half hour or so. Luckily we got the best chef we’ve had in a while. I don’t remember his name…I think Mike? He looks Asian with a arm tattoo. I’ve been to Benihana so many times, and it can say this chef was amazing in terms of both tricks and cooking skills. I think his amazing attention to detail and the great taste of his food overcame the negative caused by the wait.

Good was great. It was genuine Japanese Yakiniku quality. But we were strongly pushed out of the seats with 99 minutes. Even received high pressure of leaving the restaurant when we were still grilling meats. They can be a bit nicer with more relaxing way.
