One of my go to spots. I just recently learned it's best to go after lunch and before dinner. We were able to walk in without a long wait and had a good view. We ordered the following items 1. Pan fried gyoza dumpling so tasty. It was crunchy in the outside but so soft on it inside. 2. Lobster roll I've never had this before but wasn't sure to expect. It was a lobster tempura lightly battered. It did not lose its flavor or texture from being fried. I love that there was a lobster roll and 2 hand rolls. Definitely worth it. This alone and the gyoza was filling enough. 3. Ribeye and lobster with 2 chicken fried rice I always order this because I can eat now and have some for later when I get h...

First thing I notice is mandatory valet parking. I never do valet parking normally so this was a little unexpected but actually nice. The valets thankfully had someone that drove stick. Our cook Caesar was really nice and gave us a good show. I was watching really closely to see any techniques I could pick up, but the whole thing ended up being a fancy stir fry. Not necessarily a bad thing. Caesar also did some tricks that were entertaining to watch. First up was the mushroom and onion soup which was delicious and made up for the salad that was a bit bitter. Main course was the Filet mignon. Tender, juicy and well seasoned. The flavor went well with the buttered onion and mushroom. Chicken a...

James cooked our meal to perfection, making personalized adjustments to the sauces by adding fresh lemon and extra seasoning, which truly enhanced our dining experience. Throughout the meal, he engaged in friendly conversation, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that felt like he was cooking for old friends. I can confidently say that this Benihana experience ranks at the top of all my visits. I hope that every meal can be as wonderful as this one, and I believe chefs like James deserve high praise for their outstanding culinary skills and attentive customer service. Thank you for a truly memorable meal!

Benihana is definitely more than just food. They have personal chefs for each table who cook the food right in front of you. They also perform tricks that makes it a fun experience! The food also comes with soup and rice. Although the food is on the expensive side, it is worth it for the experience. The franchise in Las Vegas is my absolute favorite. We requested extra spicy fried rice and the chef didn't disappoint. It was the absolutely delicious and mouthwatering. Book a table now

We arrived on time for our reservation, but there were five groups ahead of us and the lobby was quite crowded. Another group mentioned that their reservation was for 45 minutes earlier, yet they had not been seated. I spoke to the hostess and politely asked to be removed from the waiting list. Based on what we observed, it seemed likely that we would have had to wait at least another hour, which was unacceptable.

The experience at this place is like no other. Very expensive though and the food isn’t anything better than typical takeout but still worth going. The parking was valet only and the prices online are less than the actual menu which is understandable due to the location. Best to have a party of 8 I believe so you have your own table and chef. Highly recommended.

Happy Hours for the win. Price of Happy Hours sushi rolls range from $6-$11 average. Decent size. Love the view of the Bay. Self park instead of valet pre-pandemic which is understandable. Services and food came out a bit slower than usual but once the food comes out I forgot all about the wait. Remember guys, happy hours are only on the bar side. :

I have had hibachi before but this was the first time I had Benihana. Reminds me of an Olive Garden but make it Japanese food. The food was ok but you can tell a lot of the food is chain food and not fresh. Also the amount of screaming kids that were there was insane. Happy I got to go once, but once is enough for me. Book a table now

First time experience in historic Benihana with significant Hibachi style cooking. Food are cooked in front of you and fresh! The chef ‍ is very entertaining and shows tricks as well as engaged with guests specially with kids. Loved the hot soup at the beginning and green tea ice cream after food.
