Food was phenomenal. It was confusing who the host was because it took a while for anyone to acknowledge us despite having a reso. That was weird but once we got seated everything was fire.

The place was packed (Saturday night), but we were seated promptly and experienced excellent service. Darren did a great job as our Teppanyaki chef. This Benihana is located within a large mall with many interesting nearby places, such as Handel's homemade ice cream.
