We came here this evening to celebrate our family's three birthdays. It is nice that we were given…read morethe option to sit in the private room or in the main dining area. In addition, the restaurant was able to accommodate our large group of 13 guests without a problem - we literally took up an entire teppanyaki table. It was my first time here and I have to say that the service we received from all the servers and cooks was excellent. Just also want to give a shout-out to Lynn, the restaurant manager, for going above and beyond to ensure my aunt and relatives were pleased. The staff here noticably worked as a team and it definitely showed. The food was delicious and the ambiance was charming. Definitely a beautiful experience to celebrate in.

This rating is for their reservation system. I have never been here before and thought they only…read morehave Teppan tables (like the name of their restaurant). I saw that Yelp offers reservations and I booked a table for tomorrow for a celebratory dinner, with a memo asking if the teppan table was low enough for a wheelchair. I never received a response. I called to verify this question and they told me that there were no more teppan seats available. I couldn't understand what she was talking about, and I said I made a reservation online, and was told by here that I would have to sit at a regular table. WTF??? Apparently they have regular tables for you to order off the menu I think? And she never did answer my question if their teppan tables were wheelchair height. No apologies, just blamed Yelp for their reservation system and that I needed to make reservations weeks in advanced for a teppan table. This place needs to work with Yelp to figure out how to specify making reservations teppan vs. regular tables or just have people call and talk to a person to make reservations for a teppan table. Good thing I called otherwise I would've shown up for dinner tomorrow only to find out that I wouldn't have a seat at the table and disappoint my whole family. I ended up cancelling my reservation and making one at another teppan restaurant who did confirm they could accommodate a wheelchair.

This review is for the happy hour and Taste of Benihana menu in the bar area…read more I think most people go to Benihana for the grill show and offerings in the main dining room - which are great for group eatings. But there's also a bar area in Benihana which serves Happy Hour and A Taste of Benihana. We love going in for these menus when we want something quieter. The Taste of Benihana is a great menu offering. You get a choice of soup or salad, an appetizer (they offer a good selection of cut rolls), and then an entree. The entree is basically the same as the main dining area, but without the show - cooked in the kitchen. For the appetizer we usually get a spicy tuna roll and an unagi roll. The soup/salad and the sushi toll is already satisfying enough. You could take the entree home for another meal. Add in a few happy Hour snacks & drinks, and you've got a great meal with variety and at an inexpensive price. Go check it out!

Warning: there may be a long wait before you get your food so don't come hungry because you will be…read morehangry! We arrived at 11am on Sunday with reservation and were seated promptly. The server took our drink order and gave us time to study the menu. Took about 25 min before he returned with our drinks (soda, beer, water) and took our order. Then the looooong wait began. We waited another 20 minute before getting our salad and soup. And about 1 hour into the our reservation, the teppanyaki chef finally came to our table and started the cooking. I got the Emperor's Feast (filet mignon and chicken), and kids got filet mignon kids meal...kids meal comes with corn as well as ice cream. Flavor-wise...maybe too much seasoning. The first few bites tasted really nice because we were starving after waiting one hour for our food...but then everything started tasting pretty similar (veggies, meat). The chicken fried rice upgrade was quite pricey (extra $7.50 for kids meal, $8.30 for adult meal). Our family of 4 (two adults meals, two kids meals) with tax and tip came out to over $255. The price point is too high for the slow service and average food quality. Not impressed.

My niece has been raving about this place forevs and every time I try to order, they're either…read moreclosed or not taking orders for delivery. Yesterday I tried to order and it was closed so I went with my usual 323 Hibachi on Wheels (go see my review). Even though I ordered two plates yesterday - you don't become Elite unless you exhibit "big back" eating tendencies lol - I was still craving more hibachi, especially steak. So here I go again trying to order from this place and they weren't taking orders. Persistence paid off and they finally opened up the delivery option. I got the steak and shrimp plate. The steak was tenderly cooked and not chewy. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and they were not rubbery. The veggies came with a nice assortment of zucchini, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms; however, they could have used a little more salt/pepper and/or butter (I think they may have been sautéed in oil). The rice was perfection and this girl loves her fried rice. Note that they put scallions on top of the rice/meat portion as well as on the shrimp in case you have an allergy (I don't recall seeing that mentioned when I was ordering). As for the sauces, my go to is the "pink sauce". They offer a spicy version (the Joker) and a non-spicy version. The spicy version is too spicy for me but it was doable and the other one was too bland. I was disappointed with their version of "pink sauce" but their garlic butter and ginger sauce (which I never use) made up for the disappointment. Definitely go with the garlic butter and ginger sauce. I dip all of my hibachi in sauce and don't conform to what sauce goes with what - I conform to what my tastebuds like. While this was a very nice portion for the price, ya girl ate nearly everything and I had already eaten about an hour prior lol. Zero control when it comes to yummy food. This is definitely a place to get your hibachi on and gets a yummy in your tummy rating. One recommendation for the restaurant: For deliveries, I suggest stapling a receipt or something to that effect so the recipient can tell if the delivery person accessed the food/opened the bag and potentially tampered with the food. In this day and age, one can't be too safe.

The Royal Hibachi was a standout for me. As a food truck, I've never had hibachi style food- and…read morethey did not disappoint. I opted for the steak + shrimp combination in garlic butter with all noodles. I should've done the half and half but thankfully there was some rice in my order that I was able to get a taste. The flavors are everything and I thought the portion size of the meal was good. I was surprised at the amount of food, although the price correlates well. I felt like there was good value in the price to proportion and good food! As a pro-tip, I ordered in advance via phone and was able to walk right up, pick up my food and pay. Easy peasy. I can't wait to come back... I'm almost attempted to go tonight!

They seem to have everything in their menu including udon. I'm always ordering their #13 lunch special with California rolls. #13 normally comes with chicken and beef teriyaki, a salad, miso soup, rice and sushi. They are nice and allow me to substitute the sushi with California rolls. I like that their beef teriyaki comes with thicker sliced beef, not bulgogi meat like some Korean owned Japanese restaurants. Yes, their lunch is enough for 2. I take the beef, salad and rice. My wife takes the chicken teriyaki and California rolls. It is the perfect lunch for my wife and I. Service is normally good for me. I haven't eaten here. I only do takeout. They probably have the best deal around for lunch.

This is my fave section bc I get to pick my raw meat or seafood , veggies and condiments which is cooked on a flat iron grill. I particularly enjoy Hibachi's marinated pork steak bc of its flavor and tender cut paired with the grilled vegetables of choice . This buffet offers the best deal $12.99 for seniors 65 and over on weekdays which is cheaper than a burger combo. You pay the drinks separately. The staff are friendly and attentive altho they get really busy lunchtime and weekends . The place is nothing fancy as far as decorative dining, it's just a plain open space restaurant with booths on the side and tables and chairs in the middle so I don't expect much about it's ambiance. You can smell the aroma of the dishes on the warming table and lighting is not too bright . I think this place could use more color to enhance the atmosphere with brighter lighting to make it more vibrant. Overall , it's a good deal for weekday lunch .

I've been hanging around with my senior in-laws lately, and they absolutely love a cheap buffet…read more This place is pretty much your typical buffet: sushi, a hibachi station, hot and cold food options, American dishes, and of course the dessert section with pastries and ice cream. As for the food itself, it's decent if you're not too picky about freshness, flavor, or having a huge variety of choices. That said, the food quality doesn't really seem to be the main draw here. The service was mediocre as well. They didn't really react when you said thank you, and drink refills only happened if you specifically asked for them. Instead, the restaurant clearly caters to a specific audience: seniors. The place is packed with older customers, which makes sense given the affordable prices and senior discounts. With that in mind, if you have older family members looking for a budget-friendly meal, this might be a good spot to check out.

From the moment we sat down, our server, Evelyn, turned what could have been a standard casual dinner into a standout dining experience. She struck that rare, perfect balance of being genuinely attentive without ever feeling intrusive. Evelyn kept our drinks topped off, timed our entrees effortlessly around our salad bar runs, and made sure every detail of our table was taken care of before we even had to ask. Beyond her sharp promptness, it was her warm presence that truly elevated the evening. Evelyn made us feel instantly comfortable and welcome, creating an inviting, unhurried atmosphere that let us just kick back and enjoy our meal. Excellent service transforms a simple dinner into a great memory and Evelyn delivered exactly that. Sizzler has a real gem on their team.

Wow this is my first time having Sizzlers ever and I can see the traditional aspects that would…read moremake this place popular and nostalgic for those who grew up having it. My rating would have been better if our server was more attentive. My boyfriend ordered the Classic Steak Trio ($25.49) which comes with a 6oz sirloin steak, 4 jumbo crispy shrimps, and a malibu chicken with your choice of a side, which he opted for the baked potato. He wanted the classic so I could try some of the classic items at Sizzler. I had to have what I have heard about this place for so long, the Unlimited Salad Bar ($20.99) which includes a beverage. So their unlimited concept is strange to me because they don't have the plates and soup bowls out. Starting out they gave me one plate and ne bowl. Not my style since I usually like to gather all my food at the buffet and then sit and eat in one sitting. This is an area where our server really hindered the experience because I had to finish my plate before I had to ask and waittttttt for her to eventually bring another plate. By then I'm already digesting and less able to eat to my full potential. So I started off building a salad with all of my favorite ingredients. The way they have the ingredients and the tongs they use... a lot of contamination occurs. The ingredient in the back drops into the ingredient in the front. This is especially true with the sauces. One lady couldn't reach the ladle for the dressing she wanted and asked me to grab the handle for her. Then she was struggling so much I saw her contaminate the front dressing with her dressing. Not on purpose or anything but she couldn't help it base on the set up. I also tried the clam chowder and the chicken noodle soup. Neither were impressive. The wings were okay. I also saw spaghetti and meatballs and a mini taco bar but I didn't grab anything from it. I ended my meal with some fruits and soft serve. The quality is not the best but I got my fill for the price. My boyfriend also wanted me to sample everything from his classic trio. The steak was okay. I commented on how it was small, and he said it's shrinkflation, since it used to be bigger before. Shrimp was okay. What amused me most was the malibu chicken which is a deconstructive knock off of a cordon bleu. Tastes good enough. I wouldn't mind coming back for a healthy salad buffet meal but this is no where as good as the salad bar experience with Soup N Fresh (aka the new Souplanation) but no wait is a plus. The experience would have been much better if the server we had was more on top of things.
