Elijah MillingtonMay 7, 2017This Japanese Restaurant mixes cooking with excitement and fun! The food tastes amazing and the cooks are experts at what they create before you! Benihana is now my #1 fav restaurant.

Joe EssenfeldSeptember 15, 2017I wish this place was getting better but everytime we go it's a little bit dirtier with fruit flies behind the bar and the smell of a dirty grease trap in the restaurant.Upvote2Downvote

Ashley VelazquezJanuary 12, 2016A bit disappointed. I've been to other locations that have had better service. The chef Juan was boring and most of the food was burned, if not poorly made. I was embarrassed to bring my friends here!UpvoteDownvote
Nicholas ScottAugust 18, 2015There's nothing happy about happy hour. Bad service, awkward atmosphere, and they "run out" of happy hour specials...UpvoteDownvote
Jose PadronOctober 19, 2019This place is so chaotic and understaffed. It is very frustrating.UpvoteDownvote
- This franchise has really deteriorated. Facilities are worn. Tables were dirty and sticky. Food prep was inconsistent.UpvoteDownvote

"Sushi is very fresh. Service quick. Tables are not the usual cheap looking tables. Prices are reasonable. Lots of sushi places in Millburn. This is my favorite."
