Everything was good besides the fat asian girl with blonde ombre hair that works there. Rude af. This was sunday october 6, around 4-7pm time frame.

Haven't been to Benihana in years, but when my folks suggested it for my son's 11th Bday I thought it was a good idea. Kids were on a half day Wed so we went for lunch. It was the 3 boys' 1st time and right away they noticed the cool decor. 6 asked if we were eating at a Dojo. Then when we sat 6 asked, "Wait are they cooking in front of us with excitement?" We were seated and greeted promptly by "Irma" (I think). Very nice conversation and smile. Took the time to chat with the boys and ask bday questions of 11. When chef Ruben came out the show began and while I of course knew what was coming, 6, 11, and 12 were captived the whole time by the magic eggs, fried rice heartbeat, flying shrimp, and of course the volcano. Ruben made them smile and laugh and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. Food is always solid and I came in with no expectations, but it was really nice seeing the boys' reactions and smiles for their 1st time at Benihana. 6 wants to go back soon. Still wearing his chef hat menu. Thank you Irma and Ruben for a wonderful experience!

First time here with my team but had a great experience. Food is not life changing, but good nonetheless. My 5 star rating is purely in consideration for the fact that their lunch special is very worth it. I probably wouldn't pay their dinner prices though. Otherwise, nice service and decent food!

Our server Elio was fantastic!! His suggestions for the menu the was spot on!! Thank you! Also, Leo the chef, did an awesome job as well!!! Everything was cooked to perfection! Come in and request Elio and Leo! You will have an AMAZING adventure!

The last time I was here was pre-pandemic. This year I decided to try Benihana for dinner. Of course I signed up for the Chef's Table online to get a $30 birthday certificate. What a sweet deal! We were a party of 6 and knew that the bill would still be sky high but anything helps! I made reservations at 7 pm. I forgot that the check in process takes time even with reservations because they had to wait for people to finish their dinner. The place was packed. We were finally seated after 7:30 pm. The waiter took our orders. I asked about their vegetarian menu for my niece and they only serve the tofu steak along with salad, zucchini, mushroom and vegetarian fried rice. No soup because the broth was beef flavored. The waiter left and the cook finally came which took awhile. I was worried about the tofu order bec I read negative comments on this item. Surprising, it came out very good! I would eat it myself. I had the Benihana Excellence with steak and large shrimps. Finally, Benihana has improved their flavors. Good dinner!

First time visiting this Benihana location and it won't be our last! We were happy to have made a last minute reservation for Saturday evening dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The chef at our table was so entertaining and our waitress was so attentive. We ordered the chicken and shrimp combo as well as the Las Vegas sushi and an Avocado Roll. My toddler really enjoyed the fruit smoothie too! Thanks y'all for a fun family dining experience!! - Mrs. Arizona US 2024
