    Service was not great. Very disappointing chef. He only made the steam come out of the onion and a train. But had no personality at all. They forgot our rice. We had to ask for our tea and ice cream. We had told them it was my birthday but did not get ice cream or singing for that either. Our drink refills came after we had finished our meal. The restaurant was not the cleanest. All the prices have gone way up also.

    Going to Benihana is nostalgic, it was the fanciest place I'd been to as a kid! I love that you get dinner and a show when you come from the chefs. Make reservations if you go on a busy night. We went on a Monday as a group of two and o lot waited 10 minutes for dinner. Price for the teriyaki meal came to $41. It comes with soup, salad, shrimp appetizer, rice, and sautéed chicken and veggies. If you want to save $6 opt out of the fried rice and stick with the rice that the meal comes with. Teriyaki is also a $2 addition. Lunch options offer a deal as well! I want to try the drinks on my next visit. They looked really good!

    Love this place! We've been coming here for 20 years! This is the OG of hibachi! The spicy edamame is phenomenal! Spicy and savory! The filet I get cooked med rare and it turned out perfectly! Our table also ordered the three surf entree with shrimp, scallops, calamari steak. Super good! Service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. We were here on a Thursday evening and the place was packed. Reservations are preferred but we got in within 15 minutes without them. It's a little on the louder side with everyone talking and having a good time. The bar is quiet and less noisy. I will always be a loyal patron.

    We typically come here all the time and I would.alwaua give 5 stars. Server arr always amazing as well as the food. But noticed tonight more than ever that some of chefs just cook. No show no flare. I felt so bad for the 7 or old that was at our table. The only thing the chef really did was the volcano. And you could tell this little girl was disappointed. I mean people go for the show and good food. But no matter how good tour food is. If you aren't putting on the show, people will stop coming there. This is why I had to knock off a star.

    SPICY TOFU STEAK
    Marissa K.

    Came here for Valentine's Day dinner. Our reservation was at 6:30 and we weren't seated until later, but understandably. Our server told us they have 800 reservations that night! It took a while for drink orders and to get the meal started, again it was very busy and the staff was very apologetic. The manager even took off our appetizer due to the wait. We had been to hibachi before, but never Benihana. We loved the show they put on and our chef was very entertaining. Our meal was great. I am one to typically need a to-go box wherever I go, but I finished my meal, it was so good. I am vegetarian, but am not strict about broths, the same utensils being used, etc. I appreciated that the chef asked first when he saw I ordered the tofu. We got the tofu steak hibachi with fried rice. And the chicken noodles with wagyu steak fried rice. For appetizers, the pork gyoza dumplings and a sushi roll. I also got a cocktail. As stated earlier, the food was great. The drink not so much, as I prefer something much stronger. It is on the pricier side, but for the experience and it being Valentine's Day, that didn't matter.

    $30 worth of steak hibachi

    Tiny amount of food. Menu says serves 2. Just a tiny portion of hibachi for $30. Charged 1.60 for 2 less than half full cups of yum yum. Never been more ripped off in my life.

    Coconut mojito

    This is such a fun place to eat. If you've never been to a hibachi grill, you're in for a treat. We went for a Valentine's date as had many others; it was packed! Even with a reservation, we had a 15-20min. wait. You're seated with other people, strangers but it's such an engaging atmosphere that it's never awkward. Food was fantastic. I was so hungry and eager to eat, that I forgot to take more pictures!

    HIBACHI CHICKEN FRIED RICE

    it didn't taste that great i used to always order from here now it seems like it went down hill and i didn't have and chicken in my rice

    It's when the to-go box and check came. Glasses were always empty, no lemonade. Behind one of the glasses is a copper mug for hot tea.

    Brian was an excellent chef. Food was cooked very well and he remembered our group. My coconut mojito was not as good as usual.

    I was wondering if this location was sold or something. It used to have the absolute best service but seems to have really gone down hill the last few times I've been. Any clues? There was a lady that worked there for 25 years that is gone now.

    I feel the same exact way. This place is horrible now

You have to try the Dubai chocolate martini as a licked the edges of the glass. As I do NOT like any fish I ordered the crab Rangoon, it was delicious, I was disappointed by the size so if you typically share I suggest you order 2. It was nice you get an even number. I also ordered the chicken karaage appetizer which was also delicious with a spicy dipping sauce. Husband ordered the Karo miso salmon with a side of fried rice. It was delicious and had nice flavors The place is beautiful inside and outside with beautiful cherry blossom trees lit at night gives a nice setting. Plenty of street parking and a garage within walking distance. Prices are excellent!!! Highly recommend.

    Hanami is a very beautiful restaurant with plenty of seating indoors and on their covered patio…read morearea. I really love the pink flowers around the restaurant. The service was quick and cordial. The food is good, though could be better. We liked the fried tempura and the sauce that it comes with. I thought the Japanese curry was good and I enjoyed the pickled veggies, but the curry only thinly lay on top and it didn't have any carrots/potatoes in the curry. The fried pork cutlets were very yummy though. The yakisoba was good but the flavor was on the more mild side and the noodles seemed a little too soft for my liking. It's very pretty and seems like a nice place for a date or outing if you're up in Carmel area.
