    1st time I've ever sat at the bar at a Benihana and I may never go back! Always sat at the table for the show, but came in with a friend for quick dinner Monday night. Food and drinks were great! He had an old fashioned and I had a hazy IPA. Had some smaller bites on their INSANE happy hour! One of the best happy hours in town! Everything was what I expect, but was mostly blown away by the bar staff. They had one girl running the bar and a whole section of the restaurant! She was running food, taking orders, bartending, and still gave us the time of day during our visit. Great energy and had all the answers we needed! Overheard her mention it was her first day or first solo to a neighboring couple. If that's the case (and as someone in the industry) I must say props to her. Great job Cece! Name on the receipt is her. I think?

    Follow up  I've come here for over 10 years , I'll never return to this business

    I've gone to Benihana since I was a teenager I went to the Ontario location where my step dad and mom was treated as regular /family They were regulars for over 10years This location gave me more onions than steak (combo for two)

    Thursday, 6-18-2026: I came here to have lunch with a dear friend from the Air Force. This would be my first time here. We had some eating and catching up to do. My friend made a reservation the week prior on their website for the 45-minute Power Lunch. There are choices of chicken, shrimp, or tofu for $15.95 and Filet Mignon or NY Strip for $19.95. It comes with onion soup or salad, Hibachi vegetable rice, Hibachi vegetables, and various dipping sauces. I was impressed as soon as I stepped in. The interior was pristine and it was tastefully decorated. It's a nice, calming ambiance. I was greeted warmly by the sweet, welcoming hostess. I continued down a hall way that had an expansive bar to the right and led to the dining area. I found my friend at the middle teppan table/grill. The young chef came out and cooked everything in an efficient manner. No show or tricks this time. We ordered the chicken. Everything was delicious! Although our waitress was a bit pushy she hustled. This was a wonderful and flavorsome first time & now I can't wait to return!

    We recently moved nearby and the one we used to go to was in Carlsbad. This one is very nice. Jonathan made the best steak, chicken, shrimp & veggies that we have ever had an Benihana. He seasoned ever perfectly. My husband and I both agreed best food we have had at a Benihana was from Jonathan. Delicious indeed! Also it was clean and cool so bring a sweater if you need one. Restrooms clean too! We shall be back!

    I given this place a few tries, my biggest issue is I feel that they're very overpriced for what you get. I decided to go to lunch the second visit thinking I could get a better deal and I did not go to where they cook in front of you. I sat at the bar and ordered the lunch, but the lunch entrée start at $25 It does come with soup and rice, vegetables and a protein the most offputting thing I guess when I come here is that the server always ask if you want tapwater or bottled water. This is the only restaurant I've ever been to that asked that. Don't most restaurants just have filtered water from the soda machine? It's weird they always wanna upsell you for a really expensive bottled water.

    We had a such a great experience today celebrating our anniversary! It was our first time at a Benihana and only our second time ever at a hibachi-style restaurant. We were seated very quickly even though we didn't have a reservation. We sat at the grill and had our toddler with us so we were pleased to be sat with another family. Everything inside was clean and the hostess brought us over a highchair right away. Chef Charles was awesome, very funny and put on an awesome show! Our waitress Ruby was awesome too, very friendly and quick with service! She made two excellent menu recommendations, add the Wagyu Umami butter if you get steak and try the Cucumber Cooler drink, and both were absolutely delicious. The drink was super refreshing and sweet and the wagyu butter took my steak to the next level. I ordered the 8oz Chateaubriand medium-rare, it was cooked to perfection and so tender it melts in your mouth. My husband got the regular Hibachi steak and his came out great too. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The shrimp appetizer was a nice start to the meal, as were the small salad and onion broth soup. I didn't get pictures of any of the food because I was too busy enjoying it! It's not a cheap meal by any means, but it's worth the experience especially for a special occasion!

    Dinner and a show! Absolutely! Love me some Benihana! Benihana was one of my kids' favorite places to visit for birthday's. The chefs put on a fun show. Some have been more interactive than others, which can make or break the experience. The menu offers a great variety of options. From seafood to beef or chicken, and even vegetarian, they've got you covered. Don't forget to sign up for their birthday reward club. They offer close to the equivalent of a free meal! Keep on Yelp'n!

    Super great dinner. Familiar with the Benihana franchise. Our chef was super fantastic. Great service, friendly, funny, food was seasoned well. Great portion size. Fried rice was super good. Loved the ginger sauce for dipping, but not too fond of the other. Benihana is a lot better than Shogun. Hadn't been in years, but since there's a location, wanted to stop in and visit and see how it is currently. My fave spot in town for teppan would be Arashi over by Dunkin Donuts.

    Nate, our chef, did an incredible job! He impressed us with his cooking techniques and was incredibly friendly. We had a wonderful time celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary and our friend's 44th wedding anniversary. Crystal, the manager, even treated us to a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch! We love our Benihana because everyone is so nice. Great place for friends get together because you can actually hear each other.
