Never again! I've eaten here before the economic crash and it was pretty good; not so on April 16, 2010. The Phoenix franchise was never quite as good as Benihanas in Chicago or Florida or many other places I've tried but it was always quite acceptable. They must now be trying to cut costs by mixing everything liquid with water. The salad dressing has gone from tasty to untasteable...and the dipping sauces that used to be thick and delicious are now so weak that you can almost see right through them. THis definitely was our worst dining experience of the year (since we go for the food and not the show -- which was fine.) Forget this Benihana unless you want unseasoned processed-tasting food. Watch the show through the windows and then go anywhere else to eat. If you don't know how good they once were and how bad the food is now you might credibly compare it with cheap hamburg joint food but we know what it was like even just a year ago. This establishment has definitely gone way downhill. Don't waste your time or money.
