We took a party of 7 for our brothers 50th birthday. We had one person in our group with a gluten allergy, which has always been accommodated in past visits. The service was questionable immediately. The person with the gluten allergy was served the regular soup, which is not gluten free. Thankfully, they had dined here before and knew the soup should have been different. The soup was changed out and apologies were made. Great. We continued on. We had five people on our check order double fried rice. During the cooking process, the chef tossed food made with gluten onto the plate of the person who has the gluten allergy, rendering their meal not edible for them. Only two of the five people received double rice, and the chef said "well that's weird. I didn't get enough rice." All 7 were charged for double rice when our check came. Also in full on the check was the ruined meal. When we let the waiter know, he got a "manager" to come out. They offered to remake the gluten free food, or provide an alcoholic beverage, all of which were declined. The waiter had a flat amount removed from the bill After the manager offered no resolution. There was no care or real customer service or enjoyment and unfortunately after years of coming to the Tamarac location for our family special occasions, we will not be returning. read more

The service was good. Each chef kind of has their own show and some are better than others (the table next to us got this whole thing with a train and the flaming onion tower and we just got a little bit of the flaming onion). Definitely a group/family atmosphere--hard to tell if it's more of an upscale vibe or a casual dinner vibe because there was all types of clientele. If you try nothing else, you must get the chicken fried rice. It's so good, I could have just eaten that. Come hungry because you will leave stuffed and with leftovers. The salad is pretty mediocre and not really worth eating. Soup is good. My husband got steak hibachi and I got the seafood Diablo with noodles and both were delicious! read more

Here I am, writing this at 11pm (they close at 10pm). Nobody caring that I have to be awake in 6 hours for work. My whole table had reservations for 845pm and 9pm and we were seated at 950pm. Yet, we were not the last table seated. The food was average, they forgot a lot of what we ordered including sauces and they kept having to go get more for us. There wasn't even enough rice to go around. This place absolutely sucks. My rice had barely any soy sauce and my steak was flavorless. Could I have had a worse meal? Probably not. Ps: the place was a f***ing mess. read more

Horrible...made a reservation a week earlier. Never got seated despite 45 min wait...we Walked out. They were still taking reservations for 15 mins later despite not being able to fill reservations for 45mins before. Managers and hostesses couldn't care less. Everyone was pissed waiting and multiple parties left before being seated. Ruined my son's birthday dinner read more

I have been planning huge 8 family dinners here 4 times a year when each of us get the Chef's Table birthday certificate. This is a pricy place so the $30 really helps and yet everyone wins with 8 people. 2 of us did not receive them this year and Benihana's customer service is now non-existent. A month with several emails and no response I give up. Time to go to Mt. Fuji. The average cost of a meal here is $30-40 and the food is generally good but lately seafood seems fishier tasting. Hoping someday their customer service is improved and we can go back. read more

One of our favorite restaurants for fresh grilled food. Their fried rice is the best!! If you like spicy food, Diablo sauce is highly recommended!! read more

Beni hana is one of my favorite chain restaurants in the US. I can honestly say I go to a beni hana, somewhere, every week. This location is one of m favorites. It's clean, the food is on point, and the staff is always great. Some people, Espically tourists, say "I'm on vacation I don't want to go to a chain".... I think a bit different. If the food is good and the service rocks, why wouldn't you? The one the about beni hana in general is the consistency. You can go to a location in Vegas, Orlando, and Denver and you will have the same experience and the food will be equally delicious. Highly recommend this place! read more

Food was mediocre, the service was slow and uncaring, drinks are overpriced to all hell for mostly ice along side them forgetting about us and taking 15 minutes to get our drinks when i finally got someone to check on them The front of house manager didnt know the menu to tell us any dessert options. Along with all that the wait staff was gossiping on the floor cussing and saying how they dont want to be there. Great experience. Never coming back. read more

Myself and 10 of my friends came here to celebrate a few birthdays. We had a reservation at 7:30, showed up a little early, and were not seated until past 8. We were not compted anything or really even an apology for being so late. Once the food got started, it was timed pretty well between "courses." Some of the veggies and rice were way too salty or pepper to eat but overall the food was good, what you expect for hibachi. We asked for yum yum sauce right when we showed up and didn't get it until decent way into meal. Our chef had to also ask the waitress. Our chef, spencer, was awesome!! He was super engaged with us and made it an enjoyable experience. Overall, I would opt to a more local hibachi experience than Benihana. read more

Have you ever seen a butterfly? Well, even if you have you should go see Nula's butterfly. Magnificent. Beautiful. Majestic. His steak was way better than any steakhouse in Denver and not to keep on the butter topic, but it did melt in your mouth like butter. Will be back tomorrow. You should definitely chase your green tea ice cream with green tea 10/10. read more

Vinny was an amazing chef. He did a really great job even though the other people at our table were being rude to him. Food was amazing!!

Service was excellent, however, food quality has been significantly reduced. We ordered fillets and shrimp/scallops and the meat was tougher than an old boot. The chef admitted they are not allowed to cut their own steaks anymore and all the meat comes in frozen. Benihana's was sold a year ago to (STKS stock symbol). look at their chart and they'll be out of business within a couple years. Terrible combination to increase prices and lower food quality. Will never go back as long as these buffoons are running Benihana's. It's a shame. read more

Ate lunch today it was delicious not too much very soft and yummy,The food. The waiter Adam was very kind, polite, and helpful with deciding what to take and what to do about lunch as we've never been there before, he was not guiding us to the most expensive things on the menu, we were really pleased. We appreciate the place and we will be back read more

Spencer and don were the best in the world. Don refilled my drink the second I took the last sip. But Spencer matched our energy. These two are an iconic duo. Spencer was cracking jokes. Give a raise to these 2 PLEASE I would be so happy to come back and see these two again! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We made reservations on Mother's Day, a month in advance. Show up for our 5:30pm reservation and it's absolutely packed. They tell us it's going to be another 30 minutes. We decide to wait. 30 minutes comes and goes. Then 45. Then 60. I went in to ask how close we were and they said another 4 tables were ahead of us. We left. But not before we watched a group of loud women taking shots in the parking lot. I will never attempt Benihana again. read more

Tasty food and fun atmosphere Went to Benihana with a couple of friends and had a great time. The chef was super entertaining and made the whole experience really fun -- lots of jokes and cool knife tricks. I got the steak and shrimp, and both were delicious. Everything was fresh and cooked just right. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because we had to wait a bit even though we had a reservation, and service was kind of slow between courses. But overall, the food and vibe made up for it. Would definitely come back for another night out. read more

I've been to quite a few hibachi restaurants including other Benihana's. Our chef was really great and energetic , however the flavor of the food was lacking. The fried rice tasted a bit bland. Fun place to visit , but the food flavor is lacking read more

Where do I start? From the time I spoke to a manager as I had a party larger than the 10 OpenTable restricts you to ... finally confirmed for 18 ppl using 2 different reservations where he promised we would have 2 seating areas next to each other. Flash forward to the arrival. 1) was not told the entire party needed to be there to be seated. Ok. Np. 2) 5 minutes into our reservation time called me to threaten giving our tables away (we were waiting for 2 ppl) (no common sense ... willing to give up the bill for 16 ppl when 2 ppl could join in 15. 3) we did end up getting seated ... place was so loud you couldn't hear the special and the lady presenting them was yelling. 4) lady comes to take our drink order ... screwed up several of them...and they took 20 mins to come out. 5) half of our party had their drinks soup and salad before the other half even received drinks. 6) the half with their appetizers literally had their meals started before the other half had drinks. 6) told them one person was vegan they offered to make her food first which was very nice ... but then slathered butter all over her food as they prepared it. Had to start over. Sigh. 7) finally received our food ... lack lustre to say the least ... even those that ordered the waygu steak said it was so gummy they had to spit out every bite. Yikes! Thk u for taking that off the bill! 8) it took 45 minutes to get water refilled. When we finally asked our food preparer where our waitress had disappeared to so we could ask for some wasabi for our sushi or water ... anything ... he very quickly apologized and said it was a management issue that at the end of the night there is usually a melt down on service. Mind you ... it wasn't the end of the night when we started ... our reservation was for 7:30p ... it was literally after 10:30pm before both tables were served. One of the table were served and had eaten and then watched our food being prepared. They were ready to leave but had to wait for us! 9) we let them know upfront that there would be separate bills. They said NO prob we will handle it at the end. It took over 30 mins to straighten out the bills!!! Most of our party if parents hadn't been there would have just wanted to walk out ... it was just a hot mess! The frustration and exhaustion by the end of the meal was unreal. That was a lot ... but nothing compared to what we experienced. Parties over 10 ... this is not the spot for you!! Trust me!!! read more

We placed a delivery order that included 5 orders of onion soup, priced at $8.00 each. We received 5 VERY small soups, much smaller than we normally receive (we order from them a lot). I called to complain and was told that 8 oz was the correct size for the soup, but that occasionally they use a larger container. We have never received the small containers before. I measured one container and found that there was 6 oz of liquid. The person I spoke to said the other 2 oz is the mushrooms and onions. I checked their website and cannot find anywhere where they display the size of the soup. $8.00 for 6 oz of soup and a small cup of mushrooms and onions is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that they would occasionally send more soup! They have excellent food and we understand we are going to spend more for it, but this really feels like extortion. At a minimum, they should advertise the portion size for the soup. Pricing the soup more reasonably would also be appreciated. We are regular customers, both in store and via delivery. I am not going to say we'll never patronize your restaurant again, but it will definitely not be as often. Unrelated, but another complaint. When I called to complain, I got put into two different AI queues that I had to navigate before I was able to talk to an actual person about the issue. The bots were beyond useless. They should stop using them. read more

Good franchise, I would say it's the goat of hibachi restaurant but it was the first of its kind plus they're all similar. Benihana is more expensive then the hibachi's were I live, mainly Chi Tung and New Star. What separates the hibachi near me and Benihana is the chicken fried rice and the garlic noodles. Benihana's rice and noodles aren't as good but the proteins and veggies are on par. Overall I enjoyed the place while visiting Denver. read more

I am a Benihana consumer, I have been to many locations such as Chicago, Little Rock, Arkansas, Minnesota, Tennessee and now Denver. Unfortunately, I live in a state that does not have a Benihana so I travel. I like to go to the Benihana locations throughout the United States. I would have to say this would be my least favorite.. way too much salt and pepper all over the food which was overwhelming and ruin the taste of the food. I love the fried rice but so much butter that the rice was dripping. I did ask for my meal to be remade and even though I ordered a double fried rice I received one small white rice. Now for the Yum Yum sauce it's not something that they advertise or have on the chefs cart. You have to actually ask and they bring it from the back, but it does not taste the same, which is my favorite part.. the waiter accidentally spilled the soup on my back. And for all the trouble ended up still paying full price. My replacement meal was not as much food as I originally ordered. I will most likely never come back to this location. This is the second time I've been to the Denver location in both my experience experiences were less than desirable. I will say that the staff is very friendly as well as the manager, and they did try by remaking my meal. However, it probably won't be as good since they replaced my double fried rice with one white rice. read more

Made a reservation for 5:30, and didn't get seated until 6:30. Upon being seated no one made it to the table for another 30 minutes after finally asking what was going on. From walking in to walking out it took over three hours. Probably won't be back. read more

My friend and I came for a galentine's dinner. We had 7:15 reservations on a Tuesday night. We thought that we'd arrive and easily nab 2 seats. Unfortunately it was packed! We had to park in the nearby shopping center because the parking lot was completely full. The host desk is directly in front of the door so it was cramped to walk in and packed solid to the women's bathroom. Unfortunately they don't have buzzers or texts to let you know when your table is ready and they weren't able to seat us at our reserved time. However the ladies at the host station were very nice and offered to let us stand outside and came out to let us know our table was ready. The chef put on a great show and the food was as expected. Overall it was a fun experience and mostly in line with expectations, just shocking to see it so full on a random weeknight. read more

Very disappointed. I can't leave a review for the food. Made a reservation 2 months ago for Christmas Day. Reservation was for 5:15, arrived at 5. Walked in and it was total chaos, told the hostess we had a reservation at 5:15 and she said, sorry but our reservation are running an 1 late. How is that even possible? We decided not to wait for an hour for our 5:15 reservation. Won't be going back. read more
