I came to Benihana for a birthday dinner. We were seated quickly and a server came right away to take our drink order. I felt the pace of the service all night was okay, came by and served our soup and salad in a timely manner, filled up our water and gave us tea etc. I thought the food was good. It was entertaining. They cooked the steak very well. The fried rice for $6 is mediocre though, thought I was getting a bit more for $6 worth. The shrimp was good. I wish we got more zucchini instead of onions though. Other than that I wish the bill came a little faster at the end but I guess they weren't really rushing us out. Overall I would have given it a 3/5 if it was just based on food and standard service. But I gave it a 4/5 because the service was good and the chef was nice. Would I come back? Maybe not since I find the meals quite expensive but you do get quite a bit of food.
