It's OK but it used to be better
I used to think Benihana's was really fun when the servers were allowed to really be creative and juggle food (and knives)

But I think a customer complained when something was dropped and now the show is toned down and not as entertaining.

We never went to Benihanas for the food (which is pretty average)
but for the party. It's still fun, but it used to be better.

I have a $100 Gift certificate will never use
Twice I have been there and twice dissapointed. I like my drinks. It took 15 minutes to gte the first one. Another 15 minutes to order, another 15 minutes for the first apetizer. They sent me a $100 gift cert and I doubt if I will even ever use it. Expensive. Try Shogun. Less money, better service and very friendly people.

Great place to eat
I just recently eat here for the first time a few days ago. The service was great and the food was outstanding. I liked the atmosphere and the food so much I ate lunch at the one in Carlsbad a few days later. I will recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

Expensive by Emily C. at InsiderPages
It is expensive but everybody should experience this cooking show at least once. I love how the chef handle the egg with his spatula. Food is not that great for the money. Not kid friendly restaurant.

Great food, great entertainment
The food here is great and the benihana chefs are entertaining. They make the food right in front of you. It's fun to go here on a date or with a large crowd.
