    Benihana is a hibachi steakhouse, located adjacent to the Temecula Promenade Mall. The interior is stylish with modern wood accents. The restaurant is expansive and includes numerous grill stations and a separate lounge area with menu service. The menu includes many options, including a tofu steak for vegetarians. Portion sizes are not commiserate with value. Unfortunately, the time to receive plates was lengthy, exceeding 45 minutes and I left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. Perhaps, the grill experience would be different, but I don't foresee a repeat visit.

    Poor service, weird ambiance, didn't get to try the food. Scheduled a reservation for four people at 8:30pm, so we could make our movie planned at 10:20. Arrived promptly at 8:30 and checked in with our reservation and were seated soon after. (Walking in the restaurant smelled a little funny also.) We then went through the normal routine of getting our orders taken and were given miso soup and salad. From then on we went on to wait for more than an hour to get our food service. Our server was really nice and sincere, we asked her to see if she could check on the chef but I could tell things were out of her control, she checked up on us when she could. Once the time got closer to 9:20ish, I walked over to a manager to ask to give us the check so we can leave. I walk back to my group and the chef then arrived. The disappointing part was that despite the good service by our server, from the moment we walked in, we were not told how long it would take to actually eat. Going to Benihana's, I expected more prompt, professional and seamless service especially since we arrived on time to a reservation and communicated to the staff our needs. Overall the experience was disappointing. We were looking forward to eating the food and spending our evening there but what we received was nowhere near what we expected.

    Do not order Togo. This is wild $24 for about an ounce of meat... the other portions are fat. This was insane. Everything was such small portions for high prices! What a joke.

    I came here to celebrate my birthday with my family, and it was a bit of a mixed bag. The food was delicious, but our chef was completely out of it. He wasn't very engaging and forgot to serve the sauces that go with the dinner. Needless to say there wasn't much of a show. I knew it was bad when my kids started asking what was wrong with the chef. On the bright side, the server was great and very attentive. I'm blanking on her name, though.

    The food was tasty and delicious. Gian kept us entertained and has a great sense of humor! Will be coming back for sure!

    Gian was amazing! He made our food so tasty and has a great sense of humor! Will come back for sure. Jesse was our waiter who was super attentive to our needs and caring. Both of them were wonderful!

    Celebrated a birthday here. The host sat us at an empty cooking table in the dark with the lights off so we sat in the dark for a bit. After that everything was good. Our server was great. The food was a bit overpriced for the quality. Appetizer came out cold but by then the main course had started so we just ate it.

    First experience

    The chief Daniel was great and the food was delicious. They should provide better portions on the meat in the fried rice going forward.
