    Steak Shrimp and fried rice
    Nick C.

    My son who graduated wanted teppanyaki. Lancaster I believe only has 2 Teppanyaki spots and they are both Tokyo Steak. Well... I did a little research on Tokyo Steak to see what others were enjoying. In my opinion it's not much. I dont ever go to teppanyaki places. Last one I been to was Bennihana so I guess that's the standard. Unfortunately Tokyo Steak falls short. The Pros. The staff was friendly and for the most part attentive. The beer was cold. The Cons. I have to agree with others in saying the place is outdated. Not too much but it would be nice to see a fresh look here. Decor is nice but just need to be slightly refreshed. The chef, well they were nice. It just felt lack luster in effort trying to entertain. It wasn't sloppy it was more so less enthusiastic. Still nice though. The food. Well Im gonna be honest. I have better food at more casual even consider fast restaurants. This includes both quality, taste and execution. The sushi bar was closed so no sushi. I was a bit sad but in hindsight it was a blessing in disguise. The fried rice lacked flavor. Steak is cooked in teriyaki and lacked flavor and overall quality. The shrimp was mediocre. Salty was the only flavor profile. Veggies same. Salty and lacked depth. Tempura was okay. Edamame was okay. The food is prepared starting with the rice first then the proteins then the veggies. I think the veggies could be cooked along side the proteins. So that it all comes out at the same time. Oh well. Overall the food was meh, lacked depth, and was either just salty or tossed in a basic teriyaki. The price. After everything was said an done. A few beers, fountain drinks, 4 appetizers and dinner for 6 adults and a chile was $430 which included tip. Was it worth it? Probably not. I wouldnt recommend tokyo steak. However I do think all this could be easily turned around. Some upgrades to the decor. Change some of the recipes so that each protein is unique. And add less salt / soy to the fried rice. And lastly stop using margarine on the proteins and rice. Its literally just adding more oil.

    Tried Tokyo Steak for the first time today with some coworkers. The chef was interactive and made conversation throughout the experience, which made it fun and welcoming. The food was good and overall I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely a nice first visit!

    Came to Tokyo steakhouse for my twins birthday wanted them to see an actual teppanyaki, and I thought they would get a kick out of the show which they did. It was very entertaining. The food was ok but when I was most impressed by was the fried rice that they made at that restaurant I don't know what they do to it, but it's the best fried rice I've ever tasted and I'd hate rice. Everything else that we got the surf and turf and scallops and everything else potstickers and tempura. I will get the rice and that's it if I ever go back here or if I ever come back here. The surface was OK we had reservation so we didn't have to wait long. The restaurant looks OK. I don't know if the steakhouse is in Tokyo look like this but if they do at least I know what or be familiar with the look.

    Fried rice and chicken Yakisoba

    Pretty damn good, drinks are strong, and I believe it's cheaper then benihanas I would definitely recommend

    Drink Menu - June 2025

    Great food and great experience! I really enjoyed the food but also the experience the chef provided. He was super kind and seemed to really enjoy his job:) I forgot to take pics of the food bc it was so good but here's a pic of their Lunch menu as of 6/2025

    Host, server, and chefs were very nice and accommodating to our requests. Parking was easy but I highly recommend parking as close a possible to the restaurant and away from the other establishment at the other end of the strip mall. The place is a little dated but once we were seated and started interacting with the staff, you kind of forget about the exterior or interior and just enjoy the quick show. The serving was on the bigger side. Our party of 6 each had a to go box at the end of our meals. We tried everything between the steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, and squid. I probably would stick to the steak and scallops next time, just a personal preference. The fried rice was really tasty, I'm glad our chef gave us plenty. The Lover's Potion drink was pretty strong, I couldn't finish mine! But that's not a bad thing :). The only other similar place is in Palmdale so if you don't feel like making the trek across town, this is a good establishment to visit.

    Steak ,Double fried rice and veggies

    Service is always great I go to this place often But this last time I went was horrible I asked for medium well , my steak was still bleeding but it was the chef unfortunately I had two bad experiences with this chef next time I'll just see what chef I'll get

    I have no idea if some of these reviewers even know what they're complaining about, like the "miso"…read moresoup that's actually consommé, and is very tasty. Maybe it doesn't have an Insta ready wall for fancy pics but it's a hidden gem that's been run by the same award winning chef for decades. There are pictures of him with generations of famous people from the world over who eat here so that speak speaks for itself. Also, he must be over 80 and he still greets and seats every customer personally. The place has been around a while so one might consider it a bit "rustic" and sure there's a wait, but that's because this place has stood the test of time and still turns out incredible food and service. And no, like the other reviewers said, there's no sushi but this is an authentic teppan whose focus is grilled food...and they're great at it

Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to what we remembered. Being given plastic utensils while dining in was surprising, especially at this price point. The service and food were just okay, and the "miso soup" was actually plain chicken broth, which was disappointing and unexpected. Overall, it didn't feel like the same experience we used to enjoy. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism, as we'd love to see the quality return to what it once was.

Mi última experiencia fue algo totalmente distinto. Llegué con mi familia y tuvimos que esperar unos 30 minutos para pagar; nos hicieron sentarnos en una zona de espera donde había una alfombra empapada (no sé por qué). Mientras esperábamos, pasó un hombre sin hogar, se saltó la fila sin pagar y nadie lo detuvo. Se dirigió hacia la parte trasera del restaurante y, desafortunadamente para mí y mi familia, ahí era precisamente donde nos habían sentado. El hombre empezó a tomar los platos limpios y a apilarlos, y nadie decía nada. Tuve que avisar a una empleada, quien le indicó que no podía hacer eso; él se detuvo, tomó un plato y comenzó a llenarlo de verduras y carne para que se lo cocinaran. Yo estaba esperando detrás de él, y él seguía tomando comida para un tercer plato, hasta que la empleada volvió a decirle que no podía hacerlo; finalmente, se quedó con uno de los tres platos, mientras que los otros dos fueron a parar a la basura, arrojados allí por los empleados. Tomé un plato --haciendo un gran esfuerzo por seguir dispuesto a comer allí--, pero mientras este hombre esperaba su comida, se puso a deambular por la zona y comenzó a tocar las cucharas y los tenedores sin motivo alguno. Una vez más, la empleada le pidió que dejara de hacerlo. Cuando los pedidos estuvieron listos, él tomó mi plato por error; eso fue la gota que colmó el vaso para mí, así que decidí abandonar el lugar. Ahora me pregunto: ¿por qué tenemos que presenciar todo esto? ¿Y acaso nadie habría hecho nada al respecto si yo no hubiera dicho nada?

    Another year, another birthday dinner at Benihana, which is pretty much the only time I come here…read more This year I actually got two BD deals. First was through their traditional (phased-out) Chef's Table Loyalty program--$30 off after an initial $30 spend (weekday dinner only, not including alcohol). Second was through their new Friends with Benefits Loyalty program--$50 off (no specifics on dinner or alcohol). Benihana is now part of The One Group that includes other restaurants like STK and Kona Grill where you can also earn points/rewards. I've seen the Benihana teppanyaki "show", and once is enough. It's best enjoyed with a group large enough to fill up an entire table, otherwise you are grouped with others. And the wait for a chef can be long depending on how many are working at that time and the number of tables occupied. Benihana food is mediocre at best, far from authentic, and quite pricey for what you get--without the BD offer, there is no value, although they do have some specials and a Happy Hour menu. For the past few years, we've avoided the teppanyaki tables and go to the sushi bar/lounge, which has bar seating and high and low-top tables. Here's where you can do Happy Hour, Lounge menu, or the regular menu without the show and less of a wait. I noticed in the interim between my 2 visits, the menu prices increased! The Happy Hour menu is not included with the BD offer, so I usually order sushi/sashimi. This year I tried a few noodle dishes. Although there is a sushi bar, I don't think it has traditional seating nor a dedicated sushi chef. Frankly, when I've ordered sushi/sashimi in the past, it was pretty much like supermarket sushi, often haphazardly cut, as if a butter knife was used. I ordered the Spicy Crispy Rice app both visits--6 pieces of crispy rice topped with tuna, yellowtail and salmon and jalapeno slices. The fish are indistinguishable from each other, the black pepper soy sauce cloying, and some of the rice crisped to burnt. I did two noodle dishes--shrimp yakisoba and seafood diablo (scallops, calamari and shrimp with udon in a spicy sauce). Both came with onion soup, salad, steamed rice and sauteed veggies (zucchini and onions). The shrimp yakisoba was decent, although the shrimp were smallish and probably frozen. I asked for less spice on the seafood diablo, but it still packed a punch. The shrimp were the same, the scallops were quartered but tasted like scallops. The calamari, however, were large hacked-up pieces with a texture like a faux seafood item a vegan would order (texturized vegetable protein). There were no tentacle pieces. There were a lot of yellow bell peppers plus some mushrooms and frozen corn. I do like the Benihana Lemonades, available in 4 flavours, refills included. Overall a slightly better and less depressing experience compared to years past. A HUGE shout out to my server for both visits, Alaast, who is actually one of Benihana's supervisors. She was also the hostess my second time, and the bartender and lounge server both times, and seemingly a back waiter at the teppanyaki tables as needed. Service in the lounge in the past has ranged from meh to non-existent, so Alaast is a great asset. I may try Happy Hour here one day, although it's hard to beat the HH at Cheesecake Factory next door.
