Benihana - Pittsburgh - Chef Alex with a great show! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This was the first time I have been to this Benihana. I have been to many others in the past. I absolutely love this place. You get great food and a great show. I had the filet mignon and it came with soup salad and shrimp. I love this place and would highly recommend it. I find it a little on the expensive side but well worth it. The chef we had was amazing and put on quit a show. I will definitely go back again. read more

We left after learning the online me ur is outdated. They offer only 5 or 6 course hibachi meals with prices over $60 for seafood. Looks like maybe it's a rebranding but the public won't know until they're seated and receive a menu. We left very disappointed. As senior citizens we cold not eat a 5 or 6 course meals it would have been a total waste of money for us. We were not willing to throw our money away. We had the same experience at the Benihana in Detroit a few weeks ago. The only difference is the establishment in Pittsburgh was not in disarray. read more

Our graduation celebration was WONDERFUL! Alex and Angela provided legendary service to us. The restaurant gave each of us a picture because of our daughter's graduation. The food was AMAZING. We all had such a good meal. I am gluten free and did not get sick. read more

Food was ridiculously priced for how mediocre it all tasted, service was lackluster and lagging, ambiance was excellent though. I will just say though that I have had better tasting hibachi meals at other hibachi restaurants, and for way cheaper than what Benihanas priced out at. read more

It's a fun experience with the chef. Lives up to the hype -ish. The food isn't blow you away. Kind of a lot of rice. But it's good rice. Does get loud, but that's all apart of it. read more

I was ready for a big night out. Ready for a fancy place. Had my collared shirt on. Made reservations. Drove an hour. High hopes soon crashed like a kamikaze. Parking lot is confusing and unorganized. The blue entry doors were cool. First red flag, the displayed wagyu selection for the night was carried around on a saran wrapped styrofoam plate with a green leaf and wilted flower. Um, no thanks. Food was okay. Not great. I love hibachi. Local competitors definitely have better quality food. The staff was just okay. Perhaps they have a hiring program for felons or something. The dinner prep was boring. No good music or impressive teppanyaki chef theatrics. No tossed shrimp or saki. I wouldn't say it's too clean, either. And, the real kicker, was on the bill -- $7.50 for rice. So, the rice/noodle option was NOT included in the $34 chicken dinner. Wow. Rice is like a dollar a pound! I would say, if you want to have a night out with proper attire required, and overspend on mediocre food, but appreciate a bubbling gut and a potential stop at a gas station on the way home for a colon cleanse, I recommend this location. Benihana works better than a GLP-1 without a script (unfortunately, same cost). Saga is better for sure. read more

When our children were young, this was their favorite place for dinner. Great food and you have the experience to watching the chef prepare the meal right in front of you . You sit together with a random group of people so you have the opportunity to meet new people . The restaurant is family friendly. If you want to have dinner with a crowd and interact with a chef and others, this is the place to go. read more

Benihana you really let us down tonight. A birthday dinner for my daughter was a complete let down. Food was subpar and freakin expensive at that. Asked in the beginning if we're celebrating anything - and then there was nothing! No acknowledgment. No nothing. And, it's soooo expensive. Things you'd get from other competitors is non existent. We will not be back. read more

Simply put, the worst dining experience ever! I have been enjoying this restaurant for over 20 years, after tonight's experience, I doubt I will return. The waiter was told of my food restrictions, confirmed everything, and then told the chef NOTHING. With 8 witnesses at the table to the earlier conversation while ordering, the same group of people, watched as the chef then questioned the waiter and he then denied knowledge by saying, "oh you should have told me". Then, my son went to talk to the manager, told her that he cooked and I could eat nothing. The waiter flew across the room to their conversation to defend himself, once he joined them the manager then said, "oh, there's nothing I can do, we have been slammed all day". That ended the conversation. Severe lack of customer service and care. I don't know if I'm more shocked or disappointed. read more

We were recently at your Green Tree restaurant celebrating my mother's birthday. We had Alex as our Cook and he was a lot of fun. I think we set a record for how many times the word "squash" was used! We were pretty needy with our orders, and we also switched seats after we ordered, which led to a little bit of confusion, but that is on us. We don't come here often enough, but when we do, we enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere. Next time you are there make sure to ask for Alex as your Cook! And people, please tip your Cook separately! read more

Chef Alex is the greatest and Timmy is a legend. They are both awesome and made our experience Mega Fun!!! Shout out to Chef Dillon also for adding to our excitement from the next table. read more

It's Benihana! It's good time for family and friends year round. Facilities were clean and the wait was pretty short. We went for a Thanksgiving meal and our chef was super gracious and really entertaining. I went for the Surf and Turf one (I forget the name) and it tasted really good! We even got some Ice cream on the house as a Thanksgiving treat. The price was on the higher end of things but the food was good and I went home satiated. read more

Alex our chef was fun entertaining and food was delicious!! we had 10 people in our party and our server Timmy was awesome

The good was the servers that were under extreme pressure due to the managements poor decision making in overbooking. That bad was Reservations that were made weeks in advance and were told upon arrival it would be 45 minutes to an hour So many people waiting for reserved tables there was no where to stand. Took 30 minutes to even get a drink at the bar. And again, poor management, only one bartender with a standing room only crowd. The servers were great even with extreme overbooking. Will likely never try this on Christmas again. I'd recommend trying a different restaurant. read more

We really wanted to try the hibachi short ribs but they are online order only, which is very odd. So right off the bat, the company missed out on $20. My husband and the other 4 people at our table ordered hibachi chicken fried rice. I wanted regular steamed. They sliced only one whole piece of chicken in half to serve 5 people at an extra $6 each. In his entire portion, only found 3 tiny pieces of meat. I ordered the yakisoba trio. There was half a head of cabbage and the noodles were so thin and didn't look like anything pictured in the menu for either. They were so dry by the time they reached my plate. No "special sauce" was added. I was not offered any green tea or steamed rice, even though it came with my meal. read more

Alex was incredibly kind and personable all while cooking an amazing meal. Thank you for making our dining experience comfortable and fun.

Benihana was a great time and the food was excellent! I ordered the spicy chicken and my partner got the filet mignon. I liked all of the sides that came with the hibachi meal - the chicken fried rice, the veggies (mushrooms and zucchini) along with the shrimp were all so good. The fried rice was an additional $6 which I think is a bit steep, but it is definitely better than the normal steamed rice. The folks who work here are awesome and create a fun and inviting experience. read more

Jeffrey, our server is the only reason for not giving this place 1 star. Obviously management needs to get their priorities in gear, when booking the place on Mother's Day- we waited over an hour for our main course because it looked like the restaurant was totally overbooked. Most likely the place was understaffed- every hibachi table was occupied. The shrimp hibachi was subpar but the fried rice was exceptional. Jeffrey apologized to us every time he came over and I just felt bad for him and wanted to give him a hug. Obviously his boss or perhaps the geniuses in corporate thinks everyone is a robot & expendable. I want to thank Jeffrey for going above and beyond to make the dinner a memorable one for my Mom. Advice to Corporate/mgrs, etc..: you wouldn't have a restaurant without your servers ,chefs, hostesses, and bartenders.. how about treating them like humans and staff your place accordingly. read more

We love BeniHana! It's our fav hibachi place to go! They recently remodeled and upgrade the space a bit! The service is always great and you are seated fairly quickly. I def recommend reservations during busy meal periods and weekends! For your birthday month, you get a $30 certificate with a purchase of another meal of $30 value or more! It can be used M-TH during dinner. It's really great and worth it! I always get the hibachi shrimp, but this time I went with the spicy hibachi shrimp! It def had a nice kick to it! The portions are always large so it's a great left over option. They have a HH M-F from 4PM-6PM in the bar / regular seating area too! read more

Very little food for than you pay for. Waitress does not give items that are on the menu for what you choose. Asked if you really want the dessert that you are paying for. Charges $7.50 for fried rice that does not even have any flavor. I will never go there again and will never refer any one to go there. There are so many Japanese restaurants to choose from. Every one of them are way better. BTW The vegetables are one sliced zucchini for eight people with an onion. Wow read more

Neither myself of significant other have ever been so we decided to give it a shot. For me it was in an unexpected place and kind've hidden. We opted to sit at a normal table since there was not wait for them. The inside is pretty cool, the bar and normal seating area is raised while the hibachi grills surround it. So honestly it still kind've felt like we got the hibachi experience. I got their spicy tofu steak which came with their famous onion soup and their salad. Absolutely loved their soup. Hibachi salads I normally go without but forgot to tell the waiter that. The spicy tofu steak I was expecting it to be marinated and have like a satueed glaze on it but it just had sauce drizzled on it. And besides the sauce sizzled on the tofu the veggies did not have any seasoning. I was a bit disappointed in the amount of veggies given too it was only zucchini, onions and a couple mushrooms. We are glad we tried it but don't think we'll be back. read more
