There must have been several birthdays being celebrated that night because we heard the birthday song quite a few times . I think my brother really enjoyed himself too, which made the night even better. Just a heads up -- it's definitely a lively, noisy place, so probably not the best choice if you're looking for a quiet dinner. But if you want good food and a fun, energetic atmosphere, this is a great spot.

The restaurant is fairly large, and seems like a lot of people like coming here for family/friend dinners. Like the name insists, the teppanyaki is the way to go. Their menu isn't that large, so it was pretty easy to make a decision. I opted for the filet mignon (rare) along with shrimp. Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp. I also got to try the yakiniku, and that was also pretty good but very sweet. Their Boo Yah Ka roll was also pretty yummy. It's essentially a spring roll, but with some spice and citrus to it. I felt that the portion was good for a large meal, but my friend who got the chef's combo definitely had enough for leftovers.

Wow!! What an incredible experience we had at Kasai Scottsdale…read more This place has a very luxurious feel and the service is top notch. We came in for a birthday party & got one of the Teppanyaki tables. Our waiter was awesome & the Chef for the table was well suited for the job! He was so fun and cracked a lot of jokes that everyone enjoyed. He kept everyone engaged throughout the entire experience. He made everyone at the table catch rice in their mouths- even if it took 5-6 tries per person The food was delicious - the portions were on point. The prices were fair. It's on expensive side, but part of the cost is definitely for the experience, which is well worth it. All in all, everyone had an amazing time. This is the perfect place to come with a group to share some laughs and create a memory that nobody will forget. It is so fun to see your meal cooked right before your eyes & interact with the chef throughout. I've been to similar places in the past & none of them compare to Kasai! We will definitely be back!

Food was fantastic. The passion fruit martini was 10/10, perfect amount of sweet and tart. Our chef…read morewas so fun and kind and the steak was super yummy. The price was confusing. $30 service charge?? And that's not inclusive of tip? Our total bill was $178 so that would be a 16% service charge which is insane. Usually service charges are a few percent to help cover small costs like cc processing, to-go packaging, things like that. So then on top of that I had to tip of course as I don't want to not give the chef nothing. Just seems a bit extreme. Everything is already on the expensive side which is fine as it's a nice restaurant but the additional service charge was too much. Also the percentage options were incorrect. The amount it told me to tip to make it 18% was actually 26%. Probably an issue with their POS and not them but seems like a money grab and something they should prioritize fixing.

The noodles were great texture, the broth was super flavorful, and the sides were quite nice. I've been thinking about this meal every day since. It is a small spot, almost looks closed from the outside. There was just one server who appears to be the owner, and he was very nice and attentive. He checked in to make sure we knew how to eat the noodles properly and gently let us know when the kitchen and restaurant were closing. The croquettes were very nice, and I normally am not a huge fan of takoyaki but the octopus texture in these was nice and soft. There was not too much octopus in them though, so if that's important to you... :( Would definitely come back and probably order the exact same thing...

This is a gem! When we first pulled up, was not sure if this place was opened. They had tinted…read morewindows and could barely see in. But when we went in, we were greeted right away by the server. He sat us down (choose your own seats). It's simple decor. But inviting. Very clean. I ordered the Tenzaru soba. It is buckwheat noodles served cold with a dipping sauce and a generous amount of shrimp and veggie tempura. The tempura was vey hot and crispy coating. They also gave us 2 gyoza and a breaded chicken on a skewer with a drizzle of Teri sauce. I enjoyed all of it. Hubby had Tempura udon. The tempura was served on the side so as not to get soggy in the udon. The broth had a good umami flavor. Noodles are thick and just right. We also ordered shrimp tempura roll, it comes with Japanese mayo on top, which we told them to not add it. Tempura was hot. It was rolled with slivers of fresh cucumber. We enjoyed and ordered another roll. All and all the flavors are authentic Japanese cooking. By the time we were done. The place did fill up. I was glad to see that. Lots of parking as it is surrounded office buildings and a pickle/fitness center.

The beef soup was very good - tofu was ultra soft and silky. I loved the spice level and they bonchon was also definitely worth trying. I would recommend getting extra salad dressing on the side and getting the lettuce plate (which is an extra $3.5) for the meat unless you want to eat it with the pre-tossed salad. Huge fan of the ginseng spirit. Not their typical 40-53% though, so be sure to know the difference. They also served me a different one than what I had in the flight which tasted and looked different (it was murkier vs clear when ordered in the full bottle) and the bottle is def 13%. Service is on pointe - never needed to ask for anything other than another box and if you're trying to hear someone on a first date I wouldn't recommend coming here, but the general ambiance is fun and worth a try with good friends and family. Definitely will try again for other menu items.

Benihana continues to be one of those classic dining experiences that feels more like dinner and a…read moreshow than just a restaurant. The Japanese-inspired décor, dim lighting, communal hibachi tables, and lively atmosphere create a fun experience for birthdays, family dinners, or group outings. The hibachi-style cooking is still the highlight. Watching the chefs prepare everything tableside with the fire tricks, onion volcanoes, and interactive cooking keeps the experience entertaining and nostalgic. The aroma of garlic butter, fried rice, and grilled steak fills the restaurant the moment you walk in. That said, the service can sometimes be frustrating. Reservations do not always guarantee a quick seating time, and the pacing of the meal can feel inconsistent depending on how busy they are. Some visits feel polished and engaging, while others can feel rushed or disorganized. The food itself is consistently enjoyable, especially if you appreciate the full teppanyaki experience. Benihana has been known for bringing hibachi-style dining into mainstream American restaurant culture since opening in New York in 1964, and the restaurant still holds onto that iconic "dinner theater" atmosphere today. My only real criticism is the pricing. Dinner can become expensive quickly once drinks, upgrades, and extras are added. While part of what you are paying for is the entertainment and experience, I do wish the prices were a little more reasonable overall. Still, Benihana remains a fun, lively, and memorable place for a special night out, especially if you enjoy interactive dining and the classic hibachi experience.

Nothing complicated, yet parts of the meal were missing (no salad, soup, or steamed rice), and I had to ask for the rest of the order. The bartender was clearly overwhelmed, so I do want to be fair--it seemed like they really needed a second bartender or at least a barback to help with dishes and glassware. Service was quite slow, my meal was incomplete, and even getting the check took a while. The food was good, but not good enough to justify the price given the overall experience. I went the next night to Maguro sushi (3855 W Ray Rd # 6, Chandler, AZ 85226 ) and had a millions times better review for sushi and service. Benihanas chandler is terrible.
