Comment: I thought this was a high class, nice classy restaurant and we were seated next to a couple and the woman had on this tiny white see through shirt with no bra on and it was a see thru shirt. And young men were wearing fitted hats and dressed very gangster and inappropriate. We loved the food but the atmosphere was so disappointing.

Comment: Food quality is not great, which makes the end product you eat average. Expect apple bees quality. Service was great! Really easy to get a table. Not a long wait. You get to be in a lively space. The cooks are funny and entertaining. Really fun to see someone cook right in front of you.

Comment: Really fabulously fun evening at Benihana. Our chef was Tenzin and he was utterly fabulous. He was funny and engaging plus a great chef. He worked his audience (us) and the hibachi grill like a master. The table (or grill) across from us was looking over enviously as Tenzin was such a great entertainer as well as cooking the food perfectly. Superb fun and great food for the price. Perfect evening out with the gang.

Comment: We live here in NYC and prefer to come when it’s early to avoid the crowds. Tenzin is our favorite chef, accommodating everyone at the table with their food preferences but doesn’t make anyone feel excluded (tonight was our first time sharing the table with vegans). He was great…we will request Tenzin in the future! Thank YOU for having us!

Then Haque steps out - a gorgeous man, knows nothing but fun. He could toss shrimp at my face any day. Wonderful time all around. Sake sake sake bomb bomb bomb. Will be coming back.

Comment: The customer service was hit or miss for me. The food was above average, but definitely not the best I’ve had. The experience of watching the hibachi being made, and sharing the meal with 5 other strangers was actually quite fun. I had the lotus tempura sushi roll and beef fried rice. Sushi and fried rice were made in the BOH, and that was a bummer. However, it was tasty; so that made up for the lack of a “wow factor” experience. Overall, you’re paying for an amazing dining experience; not so much for amazing food out outstanding customer service.

I also had a birthday coupon certificate which made the meal even better ! 💚💚💚💚

The next time I come to Benihana I’m requesting Astou and the chef Haque they are the best duo!!!!

Comment: Benihana is a great place to have a fun family outing (they accommodated our group of 12 today - some with dietary restrictions). This place was made for kids. Nothing overly fancy - but with good quality, fresh ingredients. Our chef Sudip was especially great with the kids.

Comment: If your looking for a quiet date night with a romantic ambiance.. this is probably not the place to go… but if your looking for delicious food, not to break the bank, and laugh all night long, book your reservation ASAP. Haque, the one who prepared our hibachi,was absolutely amazing…We are coming back JUST back to see him!

Comment: The atmosphere was perfect; I stopped in this past Wednesday for a bite to each following a stroll down the infamous Fifth Ave Shops- 59th St. Around noon I ordered the lunch option: filet mignon, with chicken fried rice and veggies. Also, it came with a delicious broth soup. For my beverage choice I decided on a glass of Merlot. I went with the 14 Hands- Washington State choice; next time I will try the Duckhorn from Napa Valley, CA. My overall experience was great. Perfect option if you are close to the area and like hibachi style cuisine. I also want to highlight my server Shahana (I will leave her business card in the photo options.) And a thank you to chef Aneury for such a wonderful experience. 5/5

Comment: Had a lively date night at this Benihana in Midtown Manhattan - it was bustling even on a weekday! Sharing a table with two other parties was unexpectedly fun and added to the great vibe. The service was commendable despite the crowd. Had to wait a bit too long for the chef to start the teppanyaki show, but the entertaining cooking performance made up for it. A four-star spot for a unique dining experience, just be ready to embrace the crowd and the wait!

Comment: I hadn’t been to Benihana in years… And it was a pleasant experience. We actually went for my birthday with a group of seven. The service was excellent and the food was great as always. The room was very full with lots of parties, and was not too loud. I think Benihana is a place you need to go with a large group… Because if you don’t, you will be sitting with strangers, which which can be fun… Or awkward. Overall, I think Benihana is a great place to celebrate a special occasion! Also, it is very kid friendly!

But, our server, Assian (i dont know how to spell, he from Bangladesh) was very off putting! I couldn’t hear him over the excitement from other tables. So I asked him about things. Its my first time so had a couple of questions.. he was like “ I already told u!” “Its here.. on top of menu” in a rude impatient way.. Very short with me. Everyone at our table noticed how off putting he was and committed on it. Tips for him would be patient, smile, and to speak up. And most of all to remember he is in customer service industry. Well thats all! Here are some amazing pics of the chef! Enjoy!

Our waitress was the only negative thing I can say about this night, it was as if it was her first time ever waiting a table, she didn’t know the menu, and was very forgetful but I won’t let that takeaway from everything else that was great.

Comment: First time here and enjoyed it. Fresh food, cooked right in front of you. Tenzin was our chef who was kind, fast and friendly. He did all sorts of tricks and kept everyone laughing. The server who took our food was a bit slow at understanding our instructions. They also ran out of ice so we had warm water. The food was fresh but nothing extraordinary, their seasonings for the food are black pepper and salt. The miso soup and salad were okay. I had the salmon bento box to get a taste of everything and the best was the salmon. I recommend a visit if you’re in the city.

They also take your temperature before you enter the establishment. You sit 6 feet away from other guest and the chef still does those awesome food tricks. The drinks are awesome the hostess and waitress were super friendly. I would definitely go back when the world opens up again. Great experience.

Comment: Crowded and noisy. It was fun, but the taste of the food was of varying caliber. The teriyaki beef was great, and so was the onion and mushrooms and zucchini, and the fried rice was delicious too. However the gyoza was mushy and strange, and the soup and salad weren’t that good. Our chef had some impressive skills.

If you come with a small party, you will be seated at a table with complete strangers, so keep that in mind.

Here in manhattan, you can also get delivery from this restaurant if you are located within several blocks from it. However, several things might have been changed by now. Anyway, one in San Diego area also didnt disappoint me at all. Great place!

I was so hot i felt so uncomfortable. I like the restaurant. They had a womens bathroom and a mens bathroom. They have elevators. They have a bar in the first floor. They give lots of food. You will get full before finishing your plate. They have a little cool show. I feel like they should use more seasonings for the food. Everything was great. I had a great time.

Oh my goodness, this place uses fresh ingredients and great quality meat so of course it tastes AMAZING. We both liked our food, and is fun to watch it being cooked as well. The dipping sauce called yum yum sauce by our chef is my favorite.This place is not expensive at all. I am definitely coming here again.

He was friendly, fed us great food (while totally respecting a food allergy at the table) and he was a cutie pie to boot ! 😍😍😍 Our waitress was also very sweet and efficient. When it was all said and done the bill was almost $500 ! It was totally worth every penny !

Comment: This is the original location of a worldwide sensation. I sat and ordered at the bar and this place can get crowded for special events like high school graduation parties. I ordered a pina colada. It tasted like a typical ice cream slushi down to the pineapple syrup at the bottom of the glass. I barely tasted any liquor in it. My most pleasant surprise was the onion broth soup. I hate onions but this soup was so mild i found it delicious. I ordered spicey chicken with fried rice (extra charge). It came with shrimp and too many onions but it was spicey!

Comment: Just went here with a party of 4. We were seated with a family of 3. This was my first time here and it was amazing. The staff was very kind. I made reservations a few days prior to visiting. I booked the occasion for a birthday. It only took us 5 minutes to sit down. Our server was Devin, he was amazing and funny. I had 2 kids in my party and they were well entertained. The meals were cooked to order and the soup and salad was also amazing. We shares the punch bowl drink. At the end of the meal they sang happy birthday and one more time in japanese. I will be coming back but with a bigger group. If you are on the fence about coming here my suggestion is that you go, but make a reservation because they tend to get crowed

Comment: If you havent been to a hibachi restaurant yet, please do because its a cool experience. The chef comes to your table and prepares your order right in front of you. They also sprinkle cool tricks and humor while cooking which makes it even more fun.The restaurant has decent but limited vegetarian options. The ones that are available are decent but nothing to write home about. Meat eaters on our table loved the food. Ill probably be back with a guest to have them experience this but not necessarily for the food.
