Benihana - Us because it stanks - Sushi Bars Near Me - Irving, Texas

Chef Lu is the best! Perfectly cooked food and a great show-Chef Lu never disappoints!

Always a good experience when coming to Benihana. Our chef John was very entertaining, good with interacting with the kids at the table. Food was amazing as always. We went at 5 pm and there was no wait at all, rush didn't hit until almost 6:30pm read more

Who wouldn't enjoy watching their meal being prepped and cooked In front of them. This is one of my daughters favorite restaurants. They swear that this place has best fried rice and I can't or won't disagree. The servers are always attentive and helpful with the menu and the cooks are always so entertaining. My first experience with this establishment was in like 2006/2007 in California, and I remember my chef making a Mickey Mouse out of the rice and he made the mouth move . My recent visits the chefs made hearts out of the rice and would make the hearts beat /jump. Very neat!!! Not sure of how true this is but my last server mentioned that he preferred that we paid in cash because then he'd be able to keep what was given to him , and that if we paid a tip on our cards that majority of the tip would go to the chef , and I found that to be completely unfair . Especially with my knowledge and experience in the restaurant business and knowing that servers make a living off tips alone while being paid way under minimum wage hourly . Any how , I love this place and highly recommend it !! read more

By far one of the worst locations I've ever been to. They close at 10pm. Don't come in @9pm wanting good service. I had to get up twice and look for our server. Then finally a manager. Rico was the only one name i remember. He was our chef. He was ready to go home. Not engaging. He repeated my order back to me. And still forgot my noodles. Oh well. The waitress was even worst. She either didn't want to be there or needed to go home. Either way. No apology. Nor did she make up for any bad service and attitude. We are generous people and usually always leave above tipping recommendation. But not today. It ruin our evening honestly. I think in and out would've been better. read more

Looove the food could eat it everyday Went for my birthday for the first time and immediately fell in love , planning on going back to use my birthday coupon they give you when you sign up for chefs table on their site read more

Benihana - Hibachi Shrimp Rice Hibachi Shrimp - Sushi Bars Near Me - Irving, Texas

The food and chef were awesome! The restaurant was very clean and well kept. Parking is a hassle! It is always full so I recommended Uber/Lyft or perhaps car pooling. Otherwise, the restaurant itself I would 1000% return. read more

I love their fried rice but was very disappointed with my curbside order. I took it back and the manager went above and beyond to address the issue. Having to return to the restaurant was an inconvenience, but I appreciate the manager's response more. read more

The husband took me here last night. It was so fun!! The place is set up nice, but it was really hot in there. That was the only downfall really. Our cook was real nice and funny. The hubby and I ordered the PAN FRIED PORK GYOZA DUMPLINGS, they were tasty. Not the best I've had but they were good. We also ordered the steak hibachi. It came with the BENIHANA ONION SOUP which was delicious!! It came with a side BENIHANA SALAD. Ok so the salad does not look appetizing at first, I told my husband to mix it all up with the dressing and we absolutely loved the flavors. I wanted more salad lol. The main course had steamed white rice, grilled veggies, and steak and it was delicious. The steak melts in your mouth!! The chef did a great job and put on a fun show. They even offered us ice cream at the end , which was a very nice gesture. We will definitely be back!! read more

I wish I would have taken a picture of the two diced up shrimp that was on top of this sad dish of fried rice! I waited 20 minutes so I thought it would be fresh, however this was not the case. Paid 16.20 for dried up rice with two diced shrimp on top. Would not recommend a take out order here. read more

Benihana - Shrimp fried rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Irving, Texas

I don't know why I keep coming here, I mean I do... convenience and the lunch specials. But they are incredibly short staffed most of the time and the staff they do have is not very attentive. I go for lunch and I don't think I've ever left there without spending 1.5 -2 hours due to just waiting on drinks and the hibachi man. Food is alright but don't look for any drink refills and getting the check shouldn't take 30 min, I left my leftovers there because it took too long to get check I never even got a togo box read more

I booked a reservation here on my daughter birthday and the service was horrible. Upon check in I was told it would only be 15 to 20 mins while I had a reservation for 8:30. There were people being seated that didn't even have reservations before myself and family. After asking to speak to manager she let me know there were other tables ahead of me. Don't even book a reservation because time is not of the essence here I never come to this location and now I see why. read more

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 15th anniversary with a random Tuesday off together. Our day included lunch at Benihana's. It was great! We were seated with two other couples, but everyone had plenty of room. The lunch portion sizes were perfect - enough to satisfy one's appetite without over-indulging. Our hibachi chef Gerardo was amazing! He paid careful attention to special requests, and the food was delicious! His presentation was fabulous, and he did several tricks that we had not seen before! Thanks so much for a special meal! read more

Stopped by with some friends today and I've gotta say, Jake really made our day! We were sticking to a budget, but he totally enhanced our experience. Shoutout to him! read more

Chef Lu is excellent. His cooking and attention to detail are truly amazing. He is at the Las Colinas, TX location.

We went on 8/17/2024 for dinner and we both came home with stomach ache the chef was pouring salt down his hairy arm on to the food wich is not sanitary at all this should not be part of the little show we want never return. read more

Our party of 7 arrived later in the evening, and we were warmly welcomed. We ordered appetizers at the bar, then we were escorted to our table. The delicious appetizers arrived quickly, and our chef John began putting on a culinary show at the sizzling grill right before us. Dazzled by his skills, we loved every minute. The fried rice, zucchini, chicken and steak with accompanying sauces that he cooked tasted great. We hope to be return soon! read more

Came here on Tuesday for my mom's birthday and was surprised by the lack of food and it's flavor. I haven't been to Benihana in a couple of years. It has always been pricey, but their prices have gone up significantly in the past couple of years. I flipped through their menu and I was happy to see so many drinks, sushi, sides, and entrees. I decided to get the hibachi chicken, which was $19, and included green tea, a shrimp appetizer, salad, soup, white rice, and Hibachi vegetables. I decided to get two salads instead of the soup. I like that is an option just in case you do not like or are allergic to anything in the soup. My mom and I shared the spicy chili roll, which was delicious and was beautifully set up. I almost did not want to eat it, but I did and it had a nice balance of sweetness and spice!! This was unfortuantely the best part of our meal--so sad! Our chef came out and prepared our food. He was very nice, but Benihana has not unfortunately taught any new tricks to their chefs. It was the same beating heart, train, throwing shrimp into the hat and pocket, and smiley face as in previous years. Our chef was nice, but did not say much. I was very surprised by the little food, particularly vegetables that we received. Literally we received half of a half of a cucumber, not even a spoonful of white onions and mushrooms, and it was a "special" request to get green onions. As inexpensive as these vegetables are I was very surprised that they did not give more. The rice and chicken portions were better but lacked the flavor of garlic, lemon, and anything else it was cooked with. Literally I took my food home and added more vegetables, garlic, and peppers to it. Our waiter and chef were very nice and kept our water glasses full. However, the lack of flavor and originality of the food canceled this out. I kind of see why customers only come here on their birthdays. Once a year is enough or maybe too much. read more

Beni's was LIT. My man Jake (Jake for State Farm) was awesome. Great time. Great food. Great Service.

I didn't think Benihana could get any worse, it had been a while since I've came back. We where sat down promptly but started off pretty bad once the cook came. He seemed to be rushed constantly looking at his watch, our food was overcooked and I had to remind him that he needed to give us our sauce. Yes, he forgot to give all Our table the ginger/mustard sauce. After dinner we were not offered ice cream or green tea. When I asked our waiter he said ice cream was soft lol.. ok.. so anyways, it's kinda upsetting when you pay for a full course meal but then you get skimped out of what is offered. I'm pretty much done with Benihana in general, more restaurants like this to try with better food/service and ambiance. read more

My family and I enjoy coming to Benihana! The service is top notch! Marcos was amazing and entertaining! He had us laughing!

Though we had reservations there was a little bit of a wait but not too long... maybe 10 minutes. We had a party of 5 and were seated with 2 other people at a table. We looked over the menu (via QR code) for a few minutes and placed our orders. Our salads were brought out and within a few minutes the hibachi cook came and began to prepare our meals. I had the teriyaki chicken and shrimp and the with fried rice and the meal did not disappoint. The hibachi cook put on a great show and did a great job of preparing our meals. After serving our meals, we ate and once done we were all served with our choice of ice cream or sherbet. I choose the sherbet and it was tasty. It's been a few years since I last visited Benihana but the food is still fantastic & I will return again. read more

Sergio will be great. This Benihana was satisfactory. Wont be coming again tho. Mainly because im not texan read more

I made a reservation for 8 for my girlfriends birthday. When I come in and they let me know it's going to be a 45 minute wait but they're going to try to get me in earlier , i wasn't upset about having to wait because it was very busy but the fact that someone had showed up late for their reservation and still got sat within 5 minutes kind of bothered me but it wasn't a big problem for me. I end up waiting an hour and a half and still nothing , the breaking point for me was when they started getting people seated that had showed up for their reservation way later than i did and had not been waiting nearly half the amount of time as i was. I don't really like to go and bash places because of stuff because i understand things happen but you could at least give a call or something to let me know my table won't be ready for my reservation time and not waste almost two and a half hours of my time because i had to drive 45 minutes to this place. read more

Due to staff shortage , we waited 2 hours after being seated to be served. On the bright side , sushi was good
