Everything sat on a bed of flavorful fried rice that soaked up all the sauces without getting greasy.

The veggies added a nice crunch and freshness that rounded out the plate really well.

We ordered the New York steak and chicken on a bed of fried rice with vegetables. The portion was…read moreso big it easily fed two people but if you wanted to break it down into two meals for yourself that would work just as well. The fried rice was buttery and seasoned just right. The vegetables were nicely cooked, and still had crunch. The steak was cooked to order and both the steak and chicken were tender and juicy. They came with sauces and the garlic butter was tasty yet mild, and the Yum Yum sauce lived up to its name. We ordered through DoorDash and we were fortunate that it was warm when it arrived. Happily, the cokes were ice cold! When I looked up what I thought was a restaurant, it turns out it's a truck. It's really kind of wonderful that a meal of that caliber can come from a truck! If you have a craving for a lot of protein or you just want a delicious warm meal, try them!

We've been regulars here since the day Rocky opened the place…read more Never experienced any of the complaints people have mentioned. Fair priced and great service. Generous portions, friendly staff. It gets busy, it's always been busy, sometimes slammed but they accommodate everyone. We only wish they offered Miso soup instead of the boring Onion broth.

Had a terrible experience for dinner last night. I came with a friend to celebrate his birthday- it…read morewas his very first time going to Benihana, and he was extremely excited. Upon making the reservations earlier, I specifically asked for a fun, exciting chef. I made sure to reiterate my request upon arrival last night as well. I was told my request could be accommodated. What we got instead was Tony the chef, who put extremely little care and effort into his cooking. He performed hardly any tricks, and what he did do was very sloppy (the fried rice heart barely looked like a heart!). To add insult to injury, the shrimp was under cooked. Even when we asked for the shrimp to be made well done, it came out under cooked and inedible. The server was also very slow at every stage of the meal. While I appreciated the refund on the shrimp meal that went uneaten, I felt so embarrassed taking my friend here for his birthday, and Benihana should be embarrassed, too. This was such a depressing experience. I was a long time patron of this location, but after this experience (and a poor experience the time before, not the one I left my previous review for), I no longer wish to return in the future. My friend likewise, has no interest in ever returning. I am so disappointed. I do not feel that Benihana cares about customer's special occasions.

I love their seasoning and the guys are really friendly. Do they get busy, yes. Do I have to greet them sometimes to let them know I'm ready to order, yes. But never has anyone been unpleasant nor has anyone ignored me. Sure it's not a five star restaurant, but it's convenient, fast food hibachi food truck food. Ask for less salt if you're worried about salt. Get extra garlic butter and some tasty yum yum sauce. Don't eat hibachi if it's too expensive for you. It's a good choice for a meal that's close, like, and not a sit down hibachi restaurant. The fried rice is delicious and if I want more butter I just ask. They have garlic butter, yum yum, teriyaki and chili sauces if you need a bit more sauce. Ate there tonight to see what these negative people are reviewing about. Loved it again and bought home a side of veggie too. I could see how someone could mess it up if they are new or don't know how to season it. Thankfully mine was great!

Disappointing Experience at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ…read more I usually try to be patient when restaurants are busy, but this experience was frustrating from start to finish. Staffing always seems to be an issue here. We stood at the front for nearly 10 minutes waiting for a host to even acknowledge us or seat us, with employees walking around and no communication at all. Once we were finally seated, things somehow got even slower. We waited another 20 minutes just to have someone come take our order, and by that point we were still waiting for even our drink order to arrive. For such a small restaurant, the delays made no sense. The lack of organization and attentiveness really ruined the experience. A simple "we'll be right with you" would have gone a long way, but instead it felt like customers were being completely overlooked. Hopefully management addresses the staffing and service issues because the wait times here are excessive.

No overcooking theatrics. Just solid steak cooked with confidence. You taste the butter. You taste the fire. Simple. Effective. The spicy tuna roll is better than expected. Tuna fresh. Texture right. Spice balanced. Not drowning in sauce. Rice holds together without turning gummy. Clean bites. No slop. You finish the plate easily. Vegetable tempura comes out hot and light. Batter crisp. Not greasy. Veg still tastes like veg. Zucchini stays tender. Broccoli keeps bite. This is tempura that doesn't collapse five seconds after landing. Even the egg roll surprises. Crunchy shell. Filling seasoned well. Not an afterthought. You grab it early and don't regret it. Service keeps the pace moving. Friendly chefs. Easy banter. Staff checks in without hovering. Food comes out hot and timed right. No long lulls. No chaos. The room feels classic. Teppan grills. Flames popping. People watching their plates get built in real time. It's dinner and entertainment without trying too hard. It's giving... Benihana energy if everyone actually nailed their cues and the food didn't take a back seat.

However, I came there yesterday for dinner and it was wonderful. For my food, I had salmon nigiri, which was so fresh and good !! For my entree I had Salmon, with miso soup and double salad since I did not want rice. The cook make sure everything was cooked to perfection. It was really good and fresh and tender and so flavorful the salmon melted in my mouth. Since I only want mushrooms as my vegetables, that's all I pretty much have but the mushrooms were really good and seasoned right. Service was exceptional. The manager was beyond nice and amicable, and checked on us a whole entire time. He's a very generous man and very professional. The ambience is very nice spacious and a very nice area and they have open grill side and another side where you can order sushi and your drinks and a regular menu items.
