We were seated in Mike's station who happened to be bartending and had a station nearby. Our drinks were superb and on Hasim's recommendation we ordered an Asian pear Martinis for the table to accompany our appetizer. The dinner was prepared perfectly and came with soup and salad- both fresh and delicious. There's was not a single thing to take home... The food was delicious and I am adding this location to my regular Bay area rotation. Mike works F-M and I can't speak to anyone else's service besides their host Hasim, the friendly and accommodating Asian busser whose name I don't know, and Mike. Thank you all for a lovely dinner and wonderful experience!! I will be back OH YES- I WILL BE BACK!!

I ordered the Garlic Veggie Yaki Udon, and it was delicious, the perfect portion size and full of flavor. The service was also very quick, which I appreciated. My only suggestion would be to work on making the customer service a bit friendlier. It wasn't a bad experience by any means, but a warmer interaction would have made the visit even better. One thing I really liked is that they offer a loyalty card for repeat customers. If you plan on coming back, don't forget to ask for one! Overall, good food, fast service, and definitely worth a visit.

I asked after we were bagged up and leaving if they were something people had to ask for and pay for?. The cashier said no they come out complimentary. She gave us a little to take home. Ambiance was quiet but then once we sat the place became pretty jam backed. Seems like the combo dishes although high priced have a following along with to go orders.

Came here to here for the 45min power lunch for a quick bite…read more - The restaurant was pretty empty. - After checking in, the host disappeared. So we rechecked in with the manager who seated shortly after. - After being seated, we sat for a good 10-15 minutes for our server to take out order. Remember it was really dead with probably only one other table who was being served by someone else. - After another 10-15 minutes, we had to ask for a drink menu and some water for everyone at the table. At this point, we repaid our meter (we did initial payment at the meter for 30min max, and now renewed for another 30). - One of our party asked the server when the 45min clock started and how it worked to be eligible for the "the lunch is on us", and our server just giggled and left away. It wasn't like we were looking for a free meal but figured we'd ask about since everything was taking so long. - Our chef finally showed up to our table, confirmed orders, and then went about cooking. Not at all energetic or entertaining as you'd usually expect at Benihanas. It actually really looked like he didn't want to be there. Either he's having a really bad day (which I hope he's ok)or he hates his job. Nonetheless, though the cooking show was dull, he also messed up a few orders. Thankfully he corrected and recooked things but that just wasted more time. Not that by this time, we had to move our car and find another parking spot since we were maxed out at the current meter. So that was a huge inconvenience. In the end, 1.5 hours start to finish but could have easily been 30-45 minutes total time, 1 hour tops from walking to the restaurant and leaving. Everything moved extremely slow and the vibe in the restaurant was pretty dead. - There was one good thing that came out of it. Our server asked if we were celebrating anything. And it wasn't one of our party's birthday. So she was nice to bring out a small cup of ice cream.

Everyone was friendly and attentive, the teppanyaki show was a lot of fun, and the food was genuinely flavorful. We also ordered the grilled oyster trio. I wish I remembered the names of all three, because every single one was SO good! We've been to teppanyaki restaurants from the West Coast to the East Coast, and this was easily one of our favorite experiences. What made the night even sweeter was that the staff didn't learn we were celebrating our twins' birth month until the end of dinner. They still brought out ice cream with candles for them! It was such a thoughtful surprise and made the evening feel extra special. Great food, great people, and a memorable experience. We'd happily come back!

Parking lot was mostly full but we found parking out front. We were seated right away. Quiet table on the restaurant side, not the sports bar side. We ordered sashimi but received the sashimi combo with California rolls and spicy tuna rolls. It also came with a side of miso soup and salad. We also ordered three specialty rolls and a draft beer. Rolls were hearty, but covered with lots of sauces. This is the kind of sushi we were looking for so it hit the spot! We had some leftovers what were delicious the next day! Specialty rolls are about $16-$17 each. Our bill was $103 before tip. Loved our meal and would come back again!

The waiters and waitresses are all very good at providing the best customer service support by standing by the customer's dining table the entire dining experience with the customer. I spent 2 hours eating here, and the waiter was standing by my table the entire 2 hour time. The waiter spent that much time talking and got to know me and got me familiar with the restaurant and the menu item top choices. The food is super good. Every sushi roll was made correctly and all of the variety of food tasted very satisfying. Besides Sashimi, for the best hot foods here, they have hot clay pot ramen, udon, and hot clay pot rice bowls with their delicious Japanese curry sauce and their delicious hot buttery infused garlic toppings. Unagi, Salmon, Tuna, Shrimp, Chicken, Pork, or Beef. They also have unlimited all u can eat buffet grilled Galbi rib steaks for dinner. I highly recommend this place; and I have returned to eat at this place more than seven times. The dinner experience is the most enjoyable. I really liked this place a lot.
