Great Sushi

by Nixy

We stopped for Sushi last night and the food & service were great. There was quite the wait for the other side of the restaurant with the Hibachi style dining. Everyone on the sushi side of the restaurant had big platters of food and seemed to be quite happy.

They even put up with our substitutions in some of the rolls, as we aren't big fans of crab. Food was fantastic. Service was great. Decent selection of cold sakes as well. I can't review the Hibachi side, but we will be returning for sushi again there soon.

• Pros: let us make subsitutions

Great show

by ayc_alvinarc

As many have already know, Benihana and perhaps other Hibachi/Teppan place offer a "show" at the table--the chef demonstrating his skills with the ingredients utensils. The show was great for a first-time, however, the tricks may repeat itself afterward.

As for the food, my boyfriend ordered the dinner's portion Filet Mignon. I don't usually eat steak med-rare but the Filet Mignon was perfectly done. It melts in my mouth. I would go there again, however, the dinner Filet Mignon is quite spendy for my wallet...

An event as much as it is a great meal

by MKJames

If you don't know already, Benihana's puts on a fantastic dining experience. Sure, the chef's performances follow a repeatable routine, but then so do waiters and waitresses at most other restaurants. The staff is friendly and very willing to please. The chef's are truly a job to watch. The food is excellent - exceptionally fresh and well prepared. Yes, it is expensive. Don't go here and then belly ache that it cost you 25% more that Stanfords. It is a quality restaurant and dining experience.

• Pros: Presentation
