Editorial Review for Benihana – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Benihana started out as a tiny four-table restaurant in New York City's theater district before becoming an international chain. Diners sit around large tables where chefs ostentatiously chop, slice, stir-fry and grill. Entree options are simple--shrimp, chicken, steak and scallops--and preparation is uniform. Every entree comes with a similar stock of sides: rice, onion soup, shrimp appetizer, iceberg lettuce drizzled with dressing, sauteed vegetables and green tea.

Great place! They cook right in front of you and kids would love it! The waitress was friendly and the chef that cooked in front of us did all kinds of tricks and was also friendly. You sit next to other people unless you have a party that fills up the whole table. The prices are a tad bit high when it comes to the total but overall I love this place! The shrimp is really great and the sushi was wonderful. The atmosphere is fine and I wouldn't worry about the restaurant. Try it you'll love it!
Pros: everything
Cons: none except one waitress that we asked and she was really rude

I have been to this restaurant over a dozen times in the last 4 years; I won’t be going back. Reopening last fall after a year long remodel the outcome was minor to the original layout; in my opinion. Today three of us dined for lunch. We sent our plates back to be cleaned twice; both times showing the busboy the dirty napkin smeared with plate grease (all 3) both times. The service was just ok. We had shrimp, filet mignon & chicken and the bright spot was the food it tasted very good although the sauces tasted bland. The completely lackluster presentation by the japanese (mexican) cooking “artist” was a real letdown! No shrimp toss, no onion volcano – no nothing! Not going back for $23.00 per person for lunch again!
Pros: Food
Cons: Cleanliness, Service,
