Fun for the whole family. The food will be familiar for anyone who's eaten Asian cooking. Although Japanese by birth, the chain has incorporated other customers into its repertoire. But the show is the real treat complete with magic tricks and comic twists. On the expensive side, but worth it. Lots of kids there when we went.

The food was delicious (including the soup, the lemonade, the vegetables, etc.), the chef (Mario) was very nice and the experience was, as you would expect, memorable. However, even considering all this, the prices are way too high. If you want the experience and the taste, you will not be let down. Whether it's worth it, however, is up to you.

I was wondering why this restaurant got lower than 4 stars when I ate my lunch boat. The food is good and dining environment is nice. It should be 5. But when check came, I suddenly knew why people didn’t give it more than 4 stars. I got a $5.40 for vegetable fried rice when I only ordered lunch boat. I told the server when I got in that I need lunch boat (which is the lunch special) so any seat is great if I can finish my lunch quickly. But he insisted that I need to seat on the table with these people who were going to order grilled dishes. Then when I ordered my lunch boat, the waitress kept asking me if I wanted vegetable fried rice or chicken fried rice. She didn’t even tell me this is a separate order. Did not mention its price neither. Benihana, you have great food and excellent chefs. I was going to give you 5 stars. But unfortunately your waitress took one star away. Please educate your service staff to honestly treat your customers. When customer orders lunch boat, do not ask customer to choose veg fried rice or chicken fried rice. Based on menu, Lunch boat has come with steam rice (which was never served to me).
