Hector CmFebruary 4, 2012From monday to thursday you must go for the endless sushi. Amazing!!! Btw, ask for the Sumo RollUpvote3Downvote
John ShaoDecember 26, 2012the lunch buffet area is close to the bathroom, so stuff all your rice in your napkins and toss it there!Upvote1Downvote
Make sure you bring a friend. They only sell the blue ocean punch bowl to parties of two or more.Upvote3Downvote
Sterling Hines ElzingaAugust 6, 2013My second visit in the last few months and both times have sucked due to sloe and bad service and very poor customer care from the manager who doesn't speak our language and doesnt reason with peopleUpvote2Downvote

Marlena VongphakdySeptember 15, 2013Talk clearly or they will mess up your order & your tab. Charged me for 2 things I never ordered & didnt bring out a dish we ordered but still charged us anyway. Complained & the lady Gennie was rude.Upvote3Downvote- Michael CoppolaSeptember 10, 2014Nothing special about this particular Benihana other than the manager who donned a rather impressive mustache. Good for birthdays and special occasions if you're looking for a teppanyaki experience.UpvoteDownvote
Francine LaiSeptember 15, 2011Jason is definitely the most talented chef here. 18 yrs of experience and still loves what he does.UpvoteDownvote
Ted ReaMarch 10, 2011Definitely request Jason, he is an awesome chef (years of experience) and has a great sense of humor.UpvoteDownvote
Jarrod SchockowFebruary 13, 2011Filet Mignon melts in your mouth. Dip it in the Ginger sauce. Make it happen!UpvoteDownvote
Jessica JonesFebruary 13, 2011Delicious sushi and habachi. The chefs are fantastic and so talented! :)UpvoteDownvote
If you are allergic to fish, don't come or ruin it for the rest of us!Upvote1Downvote
Anthony RalloApril 27, 2012They will not seat you unless your whole party is there (or you're going to order for them)UpvoteDownvote
BerylDecember 26, 2012Don't go to the lunch sushi buffet unless you like giant cold dense pieces of rice with a bit of sushi drizzled on top.Upvote1Downvote
Matthew ThompsonAugust 6, 2013Wow. Manager is really bad........... Yummy though ;) #freeUpvote2Downvote
Edward CAugust 6, 2013Worst service ever. Customer service spoke no English. Overpriced and run down. Cannot recommend to ANY HUMAN. Poor quality, worth about 1/4 of price. Go check out Makado for good teppanyaki.Upvote1Downvote- Alaa ShakerAugust 8, 2014They have the most unimpressive teppanyaki shows ever. The food itself and the service are just OK. Not sure if I'd come back.UpvoteDownvote
Leaving the rice is very impolite to the chef! ....And might cost you 50ct a piece. Don't be like that, please.UpvoteDownvote
- Kenji NishimuraFebruary 17, 2011Fun fact: 75% of chefs from Benihana nationwide speak SpanishUpvoteDownvote
If I was forced to pick a final meal, I would do it here....UpvoteDownvote
AYCE lunch sushi quality had finally gone down hill after all these years. The salmon is tasteless. Sad,UpvoteDownvote- Sterling Hines ElzingaMay 1, 2013A really bad experience, the food never came, the service sucked, no one would help us after sitting for 45 minutes.Upvote3Downvote
Miguel is a very funny chefUpvoteDownvote
Johnathon BravermanMarch 21, 2009Drank a Kirin, ordered some Filet and Chicken. Took a picture of the Chef.UpvoteDownvote
