Benihana

I was here last night with a friend of mine to celebrate my birthday. It was my friends first time at Benihana and it most definitely wont be the last. We had such a wonderful time. The food was amazing as always. The fried rice, hibachi steak and veggies were mouth watering! Also, it must be said that we scored the best Chef! Allen was amazing. He was entertaining from start to finish. Lots of laughs were had and he made our entire time there such a memorable experience. Thanks again!

This time I only sat at the bar, great wings and great service thanks Riley for the drink tips to make it at home. Manager was super cool and aimed to provide a great experience. Was just here a few days ago can get really busy so try hitting the bar if you done want to sit with a bunch of people and don’t require the food cooked in front of you experience. That turmeric drink is so good to me. Happy hour was 😃, just what I needed after a long day

My family and I came here for the first time to celebrate my graduation. It was a little tight to fit the 9 of us to one grill, but worth it! Our server was kind and attentive, but wow our chef Felix really made the night! I was so happy he happened to have been assigned to our table because I’m not sure we would’ve had the same enjoyment. He made us laugh, was very entertaining, and was able to engage with us and keep us engaged. He adjusted our meals as requested and kept us amazed the entire time. I wish I could’ve tipped him more. THANK YOU FELIX!

It's okay. I've heard about this place for years and never ended up going until now. Let me tell you, there are better places out there. Don't get me wrong, it was good food, but the whole experience was just... Forced. The portions were smaller that I was expecting especially for the prices asked. We asked for 2 sushi rolls that never made it to us and didn't make it on our ticket, so the waitress apparently totally forgot. The drinks, piña colada, was way too sweet and hardly any "kick" to it with a small glass to boot. The chef did his job well, he cooked the food well, but his tricks got a bit stale. He also forgot to do some key food tricks and tried to "throw it in" at the end. Maybe he's new, but dang I've seen some talented chefs around at other places and these guys just seemed to lack... Pizzazz. The tables and eating room is very tight, I understand you have a small building but man, not a lot of elbow room. Lastly, it took us nearly 2 hours from sit down to the last person (who happened to be my wife) getting her food. I have no idea what took so long but wow, I was shocked. I wouldn't go back if I was paying, but if someone treated me, I'd go. Overall, it was a passable experience, but I'll probably go back to my other japanese grill.

A wonderful experience. First time there, and the service was friendly, and respectful. I love eating at hibachi tables! I can understand why they only take reservations, but it should not be needed. I've gone to other hibachi restaurants, back in Eugene, where I grew up, and I prefer it that way. Just personal opinion.
