This review is pretty overdue - time flies eh? But all I can really say is Ick - no. I was in town and staying with my Mom and she was pretty excited to take myself and some other lingering family members here for dinner. Having been a frequent Benihana-er in the past I feel my expectations were pretty high.
The service itself was okay - but our cook - he was SO wrong. I'm sure he's just trying to make everyone laugh but he was making sexual noises and "oh yeah baby's" while "beating the meat" or whatever it was he was making. I was there with my Mom and her husband, but even if it was just friends of mine? Ew...no. So disturbing. Older Asian guy "making love" with and to my food does NOT equal appetizing in my world.
Not only that - but the fried rice was a disaster. I live for fried rice - and it was almost non edible. Who puts garlic in their fried rice? Well, sure, these guys do. Not just a hint - like a mouthful of "HEY I JUST ATE LOTS OF GARLIC" amounts of garlic. I had the Salmon as well - which was tasty overall but it was so over-salted/peppered that I found myself choking on it until I eventually gave up.
Sorry to say - none of us will be back here. Not cool guys - just - not cool.
