I hadn't been to Benihana in years, so I was especially excited to come for an early dinner on a holiday weekend. We were seated promptly and warmly greeted by our server, Sammy. Our table was a party of four (us and another couple), and Sammy was fantastic. He was extremely attentive throughout the entire meal--taking our orders, bringing appetizers, and making sure our drinks were always full. One issue I often run into with hibachi dining is having to flag someone down for water or drink refills, but that was never the case here. Sammy was consistently on top of everything, and it was truly appreciated. As for the appetizers we ordered edamame (not pictured) which were good but nothing special and the spicy chicken pot stickers which were very spicy. Our chef, Noel-Louis, was equally great. I requested no mushrooms in my vegetables, and when I asked for my vegetables to be cooked a bit longer, he gladly accommodated. He also prepared some leftover chicken fried rice and served us a small portion to try--which was absolutely delicious. For my entrée chicken, he offered different sauce options and finished it with teriyaki sauce, which made it especially flavorful. I know hibachi can vary a lot depending on the chef, and this experience was outstanding enough that I specifically asked for his name so I can request him in the future. A nice added touch was an employee who came around offering complimentary photos. Within minutes, it was printed for us to take home as a keepsake from our visit. My only critique is please have happy hour on holidays!! Overall, we had an amazing experience--the food, service, and thoughtful extras all came together to make it a memorable night and one we definitely look forward to repeating. read more

I came here to celebrate my friend's big birthday. There were five of us and we had our own table which was nice. It was my first time eating at this Benihana. Our server, Lisa, was very nice. She came around often to see if anyone needed anything. I ordered the filet mignon meal. Let me say that sometimes pictures do not do a meal justice. I enjoyed my meal. Looking back at these pictures doesn't do the food justice. I started with the soup which could have been hotter. It was still tasty. The salad had lots of dressing as requested. I bought a container of it to take home. My filet mignon was cooked to medium as I requested. It was delicious. I thought the rice was not as good as usual. The other ladies didn't notice a difference so maybe it was my taste buds. The vegetables were very tasty. Our chef gave us a great show. He was very cordial. I had a good experience here. It is fun to come with a group. I ended my meal with a Rocky's margarita which was recommended by our server. It was really good. read more

We came is this past Sunday for lunch after church. We made a reservation and were told to wait 10 to 15 minutes for the chef table. The restaurant wasn't busy since it was early afternoon. The place was clean and the food was delicious. Peterson was are server and Delly was our chef. They were both amazing. Both personable and funny. We laughed the whole time. It was my mom's first time her and she really enjoyed herself. That you so much for making our experience amazing. read more

What's not to love about Benihana? My family and I come here every year & love the food. The yum yum sauce & fried rice are top tier.

Classic Benihana in a newer building setting. We are blessed to have gone to many Benihana locations, and the Boca restaurant gives you that cool upscale vibe. We came for an early Mother's Day and luckily had a reservation because it was packed! Our chef Hector was great and our server Matthew was very kind. Food was delicious and it was the perfect Benihana experience. Lots of free parking outside the restaurant. read more

Sadly, I didn't think I'll be returning ever again. Server was good and food was great, but we were trapped there for 2.5 hours! We each had a coupon and for some reason the host couldn't figure it out. Kept forgetting to apply it, mixed up our orders, it was a nightmare. We closed the place down and it was so awkward. I'm not sure what happened. read more

Had some coupons for Benihana so ended up going to their Boca Raton location for lunch. Decided to sit at a normal table; been at the show grill table lots of times. The layout of the location was very airy, bright, and lots of open space; very positive and inviting. Carresa was our server and just awesome service. The food was so tasty; we had the chicken and steak off the lunch menu. Really enjoyed the experience; think I prefer the lunchtime (not as pricey and less crowded). Will be coming back for more read more

We went to Benihana with a party of four for one of my friends, birthdays... Everybody had the shrimp the steak and the chicken with the rice from the grill... I am not a fan of this kind of Japanese food... So I had sushi, I ordered the chili Ponzo yellowtail... That's not what she brought me... So I had to tell her that it was incorrect.. so everybody was eating while I was waiting for my food... When we went to pay the bill everybody's bill was all wrong so she had to redo the bills.. food was good... Service not so good read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Tuesday night to celebrate my birthday. It was not a long wait for us to be seated and we had a reservation. Only two others sat with us. When we arrived, the place was packed! The teppan chef did a great job and had some good jokes (it's a consistent experience when I come here once a year.) I like the hibachi food and service was excellent. Our server Jayden made me feel very special on my birthday with his professionalism and warm attitude. Benihana is a wonderful spot for celebrations I just wish there was more variety and personality in the teppan chefs. I wish the jokes varied every time I came in. Chefs with a personality may be hard to find but it would be cool if they were able to test out some of their own skills/tricks. They sang me happy birthday in English and in Japanese. I also got a free sherbet with a candle in it. If you sign up for their emails in advance, you can get a coupon for your birthday. It used to be like a buy one entree get one free but prices are so high now it's just a nice chunk off your bill. I look forward to returning here again next year. read more

You can enjoy the food without it being an occasion. Ordered take out Fried rice with steak, chicken and shrimp. It was fantastic! As prices go, it's hard to beat. You order according to number of people. Started to order for two but I ordered for one. There was at least two cups of fried rice, veggies and generous portions of all three proteins. Also had the crispy fried calamari with peppers. It was good but not great. A little overcooked. The biggest winner? Fried rice with steak, shrimp and chicken. Smoky taste of the hibachi without sitting in the restaurant. read more

Benihana is definitely more about the experience and ambience, than the food itself. The food is good but the restaurant is more focused on the experience and providing a celebratory atmosphere. We were here for a birthday party and the dinner show included flying shrimps, onion volcanoes, food art and other entertainment. Food was okay but too much sauce was used for my tastebuds. I'll definitely comeback for more fun celebrations and nostalgia. read more

A group of us went to Benihana in Boca Raton for lunch. We were so excited to enjoy hibachi for lunch. However, we quickly realized this lunch would not be an enjoyable experience. When we arrived, no one was there to greet anyone. After standing there for almost 10 minutes, someone came to greet us but said we would need to wait a few more minutes before we were seated. Unfortunately, we would not be able to enjoy hibachi cooked in front of us due to not having a chef available. Therefore we were seated by Ingrid at a booth. After we were seated, it took almost another 10 minutes for our waitress to come to our table. It was becoming apparent they were either short staffed or lacked time management which is why we gave our drink and food orders at the same time. As we were waiting for our food, we noticed more people coming in and leaving after not being seated. We spoke to Ingrid who identified herself as one of the managers what was causing the extensive wait. She began to share how short staffed they were and overall concern about upper management not properly scheduling staff. When we finally received our food, it was time to leave to return to work. Due to the experience Ingrid was kind enough to adjust our bill. However, the overall lunch experience at Benihana's was disappointing for a restaurant who has created a legacy surrounding their experience. I doubt we will return to this location again read more

had a great time at the 3-6-9 Happy hour. We enjoyed some great drinks and tasty food and Nate our server was great!

The food was delicious. The ambiance was fun. The cook was so so. Had a great attitude, but was not impressive like they normally are at Benihana, however Jayden our server was above and beyond. He was fun. He was helpful. He was simply enjoying his job. He is the one that made our dinner experience fantastic. Thank you. read more

When here on Sunday night and the service was great and the food was very fresh. The chef was amazing for the hibachi. I was quite surprised when I went when they first opened. I went twice and it was awful, and I haven't gone back since we figured to give it another try and it was great. read more

First of all, I have been in Benihana many times but I have not seen any of my fellow Asian working here, why? Benihana??!..I thought this is an Asian restaurant and who knows how to cook Asian food? Asians,right?! Anyways, today we chose Benihana to celebrate my husband's birthday & it was also my 5 yr old's first experience. The reservation was easy and we got seated right away when we arrived at the restaurant but after that, every thing went downhill. The server is not attentive, forgets all our requests, made many excuses and most of all we waited for an hour and 8mins waiting for the chef to show up and start his presentation & it was a total disappointment, as if it was in a big rush, no special tricks, no interaction, & not personable. Too bad, my husband was actually ready to give him a tip but after seeing what he did, my husband changed his mind. Food was also salty. It's sad that we experience this today on a very special occasion. I am not sure if I wanted to go back there. read more

The server was very forgetful, the service was extremely slow. To make matters worse, at the end of the meal, the server commented that a tip would be "very generous," even though the service was nowhere near deserving of that expectation. Overall, this was a disappointing experience and I would not recommend this place. read more

Went here for dinner, Jayden was great! Friendly, helpful, and always had a smile on his face!

This is the absolute worst place in the world to order food from. Take out takes over an hour when you are in the restaurant ready to pick it up. When you done in, the food is over cooked and sucks. Way over priced. Never again. read more

We visited for lunch and sat at the hibachi table. The was no wait and the hostess sat us right away. Our server and chef were friendly and attentive. We ordered their hibachi steak and filet mignon which came with soup or salad, veggie fried rice, and mixed veggies. The experience was fun for the kids but the menu was a tad pricey. The lunch menu was a little cheaper but came with smaller portions which was perfect for us that day. Everything was clean and decorated throughout the restaurant. read more

First time in this location. Staff was friendly, food was tasty and chef Gabe was great!

Wish we could give a negative 5 Stars In addition to the Chinese's food takeout order and feast we planned for our guests, we needed to accommodate others due to food allergies. We ordered online after walking in the prior day to confirm a Christmas Eve to go order . The staff instructed/ insisted we place it online. At 5PM on 12/24 we received notification that our order was cancelled. After a 20 minute hold time , we were told that they were backed up and could not accommodate us . Thankfully, we pulled something together . But we will never waste our time again with Benihana , we have choices where to spend our money. The fact they charged us upfront only to cancel our order with a late and lame excuse. Customer service HORRIBLE. Never again .... Years to gain trust moments to lose it. In the future Time to drive to SW18th / Saiko . Out of the way but appreciated for your patronage. read more

Service was top tier 10/10. The guy at the front gave us additional sauces free of charge. Food came out quick.

I keep giving this joint a chance and they keep disappointing! always waiting for food always waiting for drinks and when you get the food it's less than mediocre and so salty and such poor quality! and the prices are ridiculous for what you get ! read more

This experience was extremely disappointing. I placed a pickup order and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived after that time, my order hadn't even been printed or started. I waited an additional 45 minutes for just two items, standing there while nothing was communicated to me. What made it worse was just the complete lack of acknowledgment or apology for the delay. As a customer, that felt incredibly dismissive and frustrating. I expected much better and truly hope this is taken seriously so other customers don't have to go through the same experience. Very disappointing as I am a frequent customer here. I don't think I will be returning. read more

Besides having to wait over 2 hours for a table.. which was blamed on the new external reservation system. They were completely overbooked. The front desk staff stayed super sweet and calm- even though people were getting rude about waiting.. it clearly wasn't their fault. Once we were finally seated.. we waited about 45 minutes for a chef.. long wait for hibachi.. Kevin- the chef, was worth the wait. He was kind, funny, and the food was absolutely delicious! Kevin saved the night.. my kids forgot how cranky and hungry they were and enjoyed Kevin's show and food. Kudos to Kevin for saving the night.. read more
