   Love Benihana, and this location is typically outstanding. Either they were unprepared for Valentine’s Day or the waitress was off her game big time. As a former waiter I understand how hectic nights like valentines can be and have grace for a couple mistakes, but, “a couple mistakes” was not this. Not to belabor the details of everything that went wrong with not just our orders but the whole tables, the tipping point for me was, towards the end even after she came and apologized to the table for her mistakes, she took a dessert order that only had 1 correct order out of 5, as well as having all bills incorrect. The manager was relatively helpful, again in my experience in restaurant service, when there’s than many issues the comps typically are very generous. The comp was ~ 40.xxx% before you consider we waited >1 hour for our reservation and were told we would be receiving a free appetizer. So after the appetizer comp was taken out the actual comp for the multitude of issues was under 20% (not included was $20 in discount cards to be used later). All in all, great place on a normal slow night. Highly avoid going on busier nights. The staff and management are just not up to the task of being that booked.

   The atmosphere was wonderful, even made a few new friends at our table. The wait was bothersome since we did have reservations. The chef was so/so. The food was pricey, but you’re paying for the experience. Would definitely go again though.

   Conroe location has the best chefs! This location has been open about two years and it never disappoints. For whatever reason the chefs at this location consistently produce a good meal. We had chicken fried rice, filet and the trio of chicken, filet and shrimp. Both were cooked to perfection with lots of yummy garlic butter.

    The food was great! The noise level was too loud and there was too much smoke coming from the grill. So much that I had a coughing fit at the table and all of our clothes smelled.
