    Came here for Valentine's Day and had a great experience. Food was good and the portion sizes generous. We loved our server, John, and our chef, Jesus. Steak could've been a little more tender, but other than that we loved it. This wasn't clear to us upon ordering so wanted to mention that they will upsell the fried rice to be *chicken* fried rice, without mentioning that it is a $7.50 upcharge per person. Next time we will just get the plain fried rice.

    So, my father always loved Benihana, so it was only befitting that we decided to come here to celebrate Father's Day. We made a reservation at 2pm for a party of 10 (including 3 kiddos). Given that it was Father's Day, it probably took our party about 15 to 20 minutes to be seated. Once we were seated, we were immediately greeted. Shortly after, the waiter came back and took our orders. The waiter was quick yet patient and very kind. He took all our orders and made some decent recommendations. Most of our party opted to get the chicken fried rice, with steak and chicken or just salmon. Our hibachi chef was very engaging. Both the kids and adults gave him their undivided attention. Our food was ready fairly quickly, which our table appreciated. The food, of course, was warm and fresh. Flavor wise, the food was okay. Overall, we had a memorable experience, Most importantly, my father enjoyed his time.

    There was definitely a fire!

    I would give zero stars if I could!!!! Let's start with the thumbs in everyone's salad! Yum yum sauce is an extra 2dollars! Small portions for high prices! The food was beyond mid! Fried rice is 8 dollars more, when it's hibachi, what are we watching you make then other than the meat? The establishment needs to be updated badly! You can tell there was a fire and they did nothing about it! I don't recommend! We will not be back!

    Laughable thin, salmon sashimi for $9.50

    This is a joke, right!? I ordered a lunch bowl last week and was overly impressed with it. It was huge and had chicken, zucchini and onions in it. Didn't mind the cost as it was very filling. Today, I order the same thing. What in the world?? The bowl is half full and no veggies at all. I also thought I would order some salmon sashimi. $9.50 for two of the thinnest pieces I have ever had from a place. This is ridiculous. I thought I would be a regular here for lunch. Sadly mistaken. To add to, the customer service was also not great. Ignored walking in the door due to staff being on their cells, no greeting and then seemed annoyed they had to help get the food. Do better

    A Disappointing Change I've been a loyal Benihana guest since childhood, celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and plenty of family gatherings there. It was always a fun place to see the chefs cook in front of you and enjoy a good meal. Unfortunately, my recent visit really left me disappointed, and I think it's important to share why. First off, the prices have skyrocketed to a point that just doesn't feel justifiable. We went for a weekend lunch--so not even dinner pricing--and found that most dishes were running between $40 and $60. That's a huge jump. I understand that costs go up over time, but what we got in return just didn't match that increase. For example, the hibachi steak--which used to be a reliable option--was now about $39.50, and we got less food than ever. The steak was thinner, and they gave us fewer mushrooms. The chicken fried rice, which we always order, came with such a tiny amount of chicken that it was honestly shocking. For a group of nine people, it felt like we got a handful of chicken pieces total. In the end, the value just isn't there anymore. We used to go four or five times a year, but at these prices and portion sizes, it's not worth it. Honestly, I'd rather take my family and spend that same $40 to $50 per person at a nice steakhouse, where the quality of the steak and the overall experience would be much better. We might come back if there's a special or if someone gives us a gift card, but it's really sad to see a place we loved lose its value like this.

    My friend Debra had her birthday celebration here. The food was delicious. Everything was very delicious. Ten stars.

    The ambiance is nice. We got sat right away. The menu is smaller than I remembered. But I ordered the Benihana trio! It was delicious I went for a birthday they asked as well. But nothing extravagant. I haven't been in years and I probably won't be back anytime soon. Our server was amazing thou I think he was the best part of our experience. Also I got to try their Truffle Butter it was good.

    We sat at the bar for lunch and it was perfect! The hibachi shrimp was grilled perfectly and the veggies fried rice with the yum yum sauce was tasty. I did have more grilled onions than actual vegetables and the grilled shrimp were small, but overall a good lunch.

    I went here for a birthday recently, and it just reminds me always as to why I don't go on a regular basis. To sum up, you are paying for the entertainment and not the food. I love the show they put on and usually the guys do very well. The servers are attentive and I have never had an issue with them. The thing that falls short is the food. The food is mid at best. The prices are so inflated it's hard to appreciate the show, also the portions are not the greatest for the amount it costs. Again it reiterates you are literally just paying for the show. If you aren't trying to break the bank, get a side of the chicken rice and they will still do the show. But it is not anywhere near filling. I had the sashimi as well and it was good, but it was not worth the amount that you're paying for it. I would only come here if I am invited by a separate party.

    The server was awesome the food and service was good very good show. Always of their food. The food was really good garlic butter was amazing.

    The service is to slow . Why make a reservation and still wait to be seated over a hr. I could have went somewhere else. Once my party sat down the server was moving so slow . I highly disappointed. I will not return

    Christine R.

    I mean eating there just depends on the hibachi guy. Other than that, the food is just OK but the show can be quite exhilarating. And cool to watch if you're on a date.

Today we got stuffed avacado (HH) Crispy rice (regular menu) Kishiyaki (HH) Shaggy dog (HH) House delight Hibachi with beef and shrimp, comes with fried rice, sautéed veggies, soup and salad Unagi I will say I have not had any sushi, sashimi or rolls that I haven't liked yet. The beef was a little over cooked, I prefer medium to medium rare but all the beef was more medium well to well done but flavors were good. The hibachi was a lot of fun for sure. But remember for them to use the hibachi table you have to have purchased at least 2 hibachi entrees. And tip is usually included. Be patient because there are not many servers, but this spot is legit and pretty consistent. Happy hour all day, and to go specials so there is something for everyone . I wish I was better at taking pictures with my food but I prefer to enjoy it and not waste time on pictures sorry !

He's been telling me about this place for a while, so I came in already expecting great sushi, and it definitely delivered. First off, they have all-day happy hour, which is always a win. We started with the yellowtail sashimi, and it was incredibly fresh and flavorful such a great way to kick things off. For drinks, he ordered a Legend Old Fashioned, and I went with the lychee martini... and yes, I had two because it was that good light, slightly sweet, and super refreshing. For our rolls, I got the Hot Momma roll and he had the Julie Crunch roll. Everything came out perfectly fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they put care into both the quality and the experience. Also, shoutout to Emilio he was so sweet and attentive throughout the night and really made the experience even better. Between the food, drinks, and the overall vibe, this place checked all the boxes. I can 100% see this becoming one of our regular date night spots going forward. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for great sushi and a relaxed atmosphere!

The salmon sashimi photo shows 6 pieces, but when you order it you only receive 3. That's extremely disappointing when you expect what's advertised. While the quality and cuts of the fish were great, expectations were not met based on the pictured item. :/ I'm currently in the hospital and had been looking forward to sushi my entire pregnancy, so this was especially frustrating. My husband picked up the order, and the man at the counter was rude both times. The first time, my husband simply asked to confirm whether sriracha was included and was met with an attitude. The second time, the order was placed on the counter without any acknowledgment or confirmation before the employee turned away. I myself cannot speak for the ambiance as i haven't been in person but this alone is enough to keep me away. We're glad I'll be discharged soon so we can return to our usual sushi spot--Sushi Hana in Katy, which has never treated us this way. Come here if you're only looking for sushi and have low expectations for service.

    We love coming here for AYCE sushi - which also includes fried rice, teriyaki chicken, appetizers,…read moresoup...plus a huge a la carte menu. We don't typically eat the raw fish sushi/rolls (my family isn't into the taste in general), so we usually only get the cooked rolls. Even though it's AYCE, the rolls are top notch, and there are lots to choose from. Service is always quick and friendly - but sometimes the servers are hard to understand because it can get a little loud inside the restaurant.

Quality of the various sushi I ordered were ok, as expected from a AYCE. The slim raw fish slice covered a small portion of rice, which was good to not getting full fast. I had some rolls which weren't that good as I thought the sauces did not go well with the rolls.
