I had to struggle to justify my two-star rating, but my vegetables were okay and there was also plenty of parking... yeah, that's how horrible this place was.
My group had reservations for a Sunday at 12:30. We had 9 people, so we took up an entire table to ourselves. The service was painfully slow from this point on. We saw our waiter in 15 minute intervals, and he would always rush off before making sure we had everything we needed. And this was BEFORE the chef even started cooking. We didn't even see our chef until 1:20... almost an entire hour of waiting at the table! Soup and salad doesn't take THAT long to eat......
Benihana used butter and soy sauce as their two flavorings. Everything tasted the exact same and was so, so plain. I was hoping for more of a teriyaki flavor for at least my chicken. Also, the dipping sauces aren't good either, so you're basically stuck with really bland food that's been drenched in butter.
Also, if you have kids, they probably will be underwhelmed as well. This place is no-frills due to a few lawsuits (that is what our chef said). What fun is teppanyaki without FIRE?! The only "trick" they do is an onion train thing.
There are better, locally owned teppanyaki restaurants in town. We definitely won't ever be back...ever.
