I stoped in for a quick lunch. Food, service and Ambiance was great. I will be visiting again.

Same as the other 1 star reviews. Cart was short. Chef had to ask for extra food several times. Dining took 2 hours. There was no cooking show. Way overpriced for what you get. Completely unorganized. Staff blaming each other. read more

We sat down at 4:45 and didn't leave until 7pm. The service was terrible, rice was undercooked and crunchy, hibachi steak and chicken were severely over-seasoned and the chef had no motivation to be there. One of the worst experiences I had for $180. Will not be back. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. We went tonight for my birthday. We arrived at 7:45 and was seated by 8:32. Our drink orders were taken 15 minutes later. We placed our order at 9 for food. The chef came to our table around 10:15. We felt terrible for the chef as he read our order correctly, however the food on the trays was incorrect. He had to call 4 different servers to go to the back to get more or different food for the mistakes. We had to beg and plead at various wait staff for drinks. I understand this is a recently opened business, but when you go to a place like this for a special occasion and for the prices of the food- the service and wait that we received is just flat out unacceptable!! Save your money and go elsewhere! P.S we left the restaurant at 11:40. read more

Group of 3 was $167.. Didnt have anything extra besides 1 drink. Way over priced, almost would say double then other hibachi. Service lack luster and food def needed help to get down. Would not recommend. read more

Chef.Cory has never disappointed, Cory brings the Habachi experience to a whole new level.

My family and I went to Benihana to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. We have been to many hibachi restaurants and frequent another one that is also located in Conroe, but thought we would try out the new Benihana. We decided that we felt like it had been open long enough to have all of its kinks worked out from being newly opened. I knew the menu was a little pricier than our regular hibachi place, but figured since we were celebrating a special occasion, we could splurge for possibly a better hibachi experience and more quality. Our server came to the table quickly and greeted us, and was very friendly, and probably gave a little more information than needed when first sitting down. But I figured she was new and just trying to stick to a speel. We got our soups and salads in a timely manner after ordering. It went downhill once the chef came to the table. He seemed quite inexperienced, which I understand but I don't believe he was ready to be working a hibachi grill, at a Benihana restaurant, when you're paying that much for your food and experience. Several times I thought I was going to be hit with the spatula and fork he was attempting to swirl. He didn't do any any of the "normal hibachi" tricks, instead just started a series of dad like jokes. My 7 year old even called him out a few times for not doing any "cool" stuff. He would tease us like we were at a "Dicks last resort" type restaurant which was a little unnerving to me since I was trying to treat my parents to a nicer hibachi experience, now realizing I should have taken her to our usual place. He did not bring enough rice and vegetables to the table so ended up cooking more at the VERY end of the meal, when most people were done. I was one of the people in my party that did not receive my fried rice. He let the server know that he was short a serving of fried rice, and she came out with a fully cooked one, and he told her to take it back to the back. He told her to bring him materials to make more. After waiting the whole meal to finally get my rice I wondered why did he not just give me the cooked rice that she brought out so that I could enjoy it with my food, instead of having to eat it after my plate had already been completely finished. I also found several large hairs in my daughters overcooked shrimp and made sure that the chef could hear me say several times "oh, here's another hair and another hair hair". It didn't seem to faze him enough to tell the server, or anybody for that matter, that we were finding hairs in our food. It's as if he just tried to pretend like he couldn't hear me so he wouldn't have to address the situation. We also expressed concerns throughout the cooking that he was overcooking the steaks that we asked to be medium rare. He assured us that they would not be overcooked. One steak ended up being well done, and the other one medium well. He then told us because the steak is so thin, it's hard to cook to the right temperature.....It seemed as if he could only focus on cooking one item at a time as the shrimp was over cooked as well. He struggled with serving equal amounts to the table when it came to the shared stuff (vegetables, shrimp, etc.). The first person he served got large quantity and the last person got the scraps, which unfortunately were my parents who were supposed to be getting treated. This was not a great Benihana experience. I will likely not be back to this location. The quantity of food served from the hibachi was significantly less than I have ever gotten at other Benihanas. I have never left without a Togo box. This time I actually left not feeling full. My mom says her filet had no flavor. Our server was really great though and friendly the whole time. read more

I have came to this location 3 times and every time has been so special. The chef Cody has been great and Kelley was great. Tristian was our server and we enjoyed him. He was attentive and great. Cody makes a mean fried rice and Kelley was great with making our dinning experience amazing. I would highly recommend this location. Food 10/10!! read more

We had a great meal with great service on Friday night but lunch today was very disappointing. We went in for a birthday lunch and the service couldn't be slower from the chef to the server and checkout. The chef took an inordinate amount of time to come to the table. The server apologized multiple times. It seemed the cook was very slow and the steaks were not cooked as ordered. The server disappeared and no plates were cleared. Waited way too long for checkout and never got the birthday since the wait was so long. All and all the lunch was over 1 hour and 45 minutes with no dessert. The ambiance was extremely cold and we just wanted to leave. Definitely feel like they have a lot of bugs to work out on their lunches. Not at all like the experience downtown or in the Woodlands. Definitely a two star review read more

I ordered a to go order July 29. I ordered the chicken and Shrimp meal for 2. It was my birthday so I was excited to order this. My family and I couldn't dine in because one of my kids was sick. I picked up my order around 9:30pm. When I got home I took out all the food and notice the Hibachi chicken rice was not included. I called the restaurant at 10:15pm and the girl who answered was nice she offered for me to go pick it up but I live in the deep part of Montgomery and there was no way I was going to drive back plus by the time I would have picked up the rice and got home our dinner would have been cold and we ordered when we did because we were hungry so a manager came on the phone he was also very nice and offered a refund of the price of the rice. After we got off I noticed they didn't give us any sauces for the chicken nor shrimp without the rice and sauces everything tasted disappointing. When I got there the establishment was not packed and the to go order workers were standing around talking they should have made sure the order was correct but I should have also checked and I did not because they seemed like they would have everything in order. The food cost was not cheap and I would have expected them to check just because we are not dining in doesn't mean to go orders are not that important we are also spending the same amount of money for the same food you dine in. Overall I would order again if I had to but this time I will have to check my food in front of them. read more

What a bummer ... we love Benihana but unfortunately this location did not deliver the type of experience we are used to. We sat at the regular tables and were there for about 10-15mins without anyone taking our order, but several wait staff walking past us to input orders in the POS system. When we finally received service, our orders were incorrect upon receiving them. We asked for no mushrooms and came to have tons of mushrooms on our entrees. Our meat was so over cooked we couldn't bite into it and our vegetables were raw. We did not even receive sauces like you do for the Hibachi seating. On a positive note our beverages were good so kudos to the bar. My husband and I will not be returning to this location at least not for a while until they dial in their service and their meals. Worst $165 we have ever spent. read more

This restaurant is nothing to write home about, me and my daughter went in at 7:00 pm and left at 9:30 pm, the waiter took so long to bring our drink and food and the food was Texas Japanese food not real Japanese food. I will not be returning read more

Fantastic meal. Chef Alex and server Leah were great- full of personality. We'll be back.

The service was amazing. Our server Andrew and cook were very interactive with our kids. The manager personally greeted our table. Thank you!! read more

Birthday Dinner - The dinner was good. We chose Benihanas on my daughter's recommendation. She swore a black chef was good, better than our usual spot. Well, he was. He sure had the entertainment aspect on lock. Throughout the night, he played with our birthday boy by hitting him with Dad jokes. My son isn't big on smiling and talking but Chef Ash had him doing just that. He brought the other couple into the good times by having them share their "met and married" story. My wife and daughters laughed and interjected questions as the couple shared. It was quite impressive. All while this is going, he's working the grill, cooking good food and flipping spatulas, bowls, food pieces, fire. It was impressive. The steak was done perfectly, melted in your mouth. The shrimp too! Yup, chicken three. My vegetables kept spring and snap so I was in heaven. It was during this meal, I realized my spasms had drastically reduced, spasticity and tone were manageable again. *fist bump* The drinks and beers did their job. We left full and relaxed. read more

Benihana - Conroe - Chef Ash - Sushi Bars Near Me - Conroe, Texas

The staff, manager and chef Aaron was amazing! Food, service and great ambiance. Enjoyed it.

The service was absolutely terrible. The server forgot many items for our family and families around the table. They forgot Chicken breast, lobster, fried rice, and made scalps for no one. The whole table order steak and every single one was over cooked and well done. The ambiance was more normal than the service and food, but the server was acting pretty weird. read more

I have to start with this is my first yelp review. we visited this beautiful restaurant for my husbands 50th birthday. The chef was amazing and the food was wonderful! however the service was the worst I have experienced in a fine dining establishment. we didn't get our first drinks for 30 minutes and they were wrong. Also seemed that our server was MIA! IDK if she had tables on the other side of the restaurant but where was she? the bar was filthy and the bartender was rarely seen. Thank goodness for the MOD because he was making drinks. While I was at the bar trying to get my family their drinks I saw my husbands sushi roll on the bar top with a ticket, I knew it was ours so I noticed the ticket time and it was 33 minute!!! wow how long was that sitting there dying? I rarely ever tip less than %20 but I just couldn't tip like that for the service we received. there are some training opportunities here! wish yall the best of luck! read more

Chief John was amazing!! Waiter needs some training. Appetizer was 45 minutes late. I had to get my own drinks from the bar but the food was amazing and the management was super nice to accommodate great atmosphere not trying to complain but weight staff just needs a little training. read more

Service was horrible!! Server and Chef were slow and non responsive. Food was over cooked due to slow Chef. Took 2 hours for dinner. Manager notified but just gave poor excuses! Stay away!! read more

The last time we went to Benihana in the Woodlands it wasn't great. The food, service, even the managers were rude. So when we showed up to this new location we were a little hesitant. But WOW. Jessica was great. She went above and beyond. And the chef (I forgot to ask his name) was also great. They both made my daughters feel so special. We loved every aspect of our dining experience. read more

This is a newer location. When we walked in, we notice how clean the place was. From the hibachi grills to the tables, it was incredibly clean throughout. Our server, Brian, was incredibly kind to my wife and family and represented amazing manners towards me and my wife. Our chef, chef Matthew, was absolutely wonderful and entertaining! He did a wonderful job and the food he had made was better than any hibachi we have had before. He was very entertaining and considerate to my family's wishes. I would highly recommend anybody to have them as their server/chef and this place will be a new regular for my family and I. read more

Delicious food and amazing service from the wait staff and our Chef Jacob. Can't wait to return!

Everything was great! Matt the cook and lyndsey our server did a great job. The food was seasoned great and tasted great.

Great food & service. Kelley was very kind. Sushi and hibachi were cooked to perfection. We will be coming back soon!!

Food was most satisfying. The service from Angela was fun, helpful and responsive. Christian was entertaining and lively. Overall a great experience!!! read more

Not our first time to a Benihana or a hibachi restaurant by any means, but this was the first time the meal was prepared to absolute perfection. Chef Marcus cooked for us tonite, and his meal was amazing! Hands down the best hibachi experience we ever had!! If you have a choice, choose Marcus - he is a true professional! read more

Great food and great service would definitely recommend to anyone service was great and food was great as well

Food is ok, nothing to rave about. Super expensive though. Spent $80 just on my toddler and I. No appetizers, no extras. Just our meal and drinks. Service was good. Our cook was awesome. We were a group of maybe 10. It's nice in there but i will say its one of those restaurants you try once and you're good. I can get the same meal at shogun for half the price. read more

The food was not as good as it should've been very pricey. Service was good but once again very pricey. Ambiance could have been better.

I usually praise restaurants and usually over tip for good service but this was a nightmare. Sat down at 5:30 and shortly after a server spent 10 minutes going over the menu. Then after ordering drinks, they arrived 15 minutes later, the waitress took our order. The chef appeared and was embarrassing in that he was flicking shrimp tails at other employees who were conversing away from our table who didn't appear to like his antics. After the rice was cooked and prepared as fried rice the portions were handed out and they neglected by wife's portion, so they brought out more after everyone was beginning on theirs. Then they neglected her portion of shrimp after it was doled out and they did it again with the scallops. She wound up eating her dinner when most of us had already finished. The vegetable portion was lame and the bill was high. They have major kinks to work out to perform to the standards of what I expect Benihana from past experiences. If I were you, I would stay with Shogun and not waste your time or money here. read more

The service was absolutely horrible last night and the lady that was the manager basically told us we were lying. It took over a hour to be seated when they said 15 to 30 minutes. Then took about 30 minutes to get drinks and another 20 minutes after drinks to place our food order. When we placed the order the chef came out and half the food was wrong on his cart or there wasn't enough. He had to ask like 8 different people to go to the kitchen for him and they never did. The waitress never came back and then said she knew her service was horrible but gave us a list of excuses that didn't make since. Middle of dinner she didn't even try to refill drinks she just brought everyone water. We watched 4 other tables that came in after us get their chef before we did and we waited over a hour for the chef to even come. What should have been a hour or so dinner took over 3 hours bot including the wait outside. Shoguns has much better service and food and is half the price. read more

chef Matthew was fantastic! great chef and wonderful entertainer! would gladly come back to see him!

I want to start by saying our server was good. She handle our table with bar drinks ok but needs to pay a little more attention to drink refills (from the bar and water) during cooking time. Our chef, Christian, was awesome! We were able to overlook a few things because of Christian. Those of us that met at the table are looking forward to meeting up again and asking for him specifically for another evening of fun. Known of us (3 couples) knew each but we definitely got to know each other during our dinner with Christian (How 'bout them Cowboys?). Having a chef being able to connect and laugh along with the patrons is definitely a good time. We actually tipped him personally because he was just that much fun. The restaurant is loud and it is difficult to actually talk to everyone seated at the hibachi table and I'm not sure how the restaurant can work that out but similar restaurants are not that loud so hopefully management can address the issue. See ya soon Christian! read more
