We visited Benihana for summerlicious, and i was disappointed. At first entry, the decor reminds me of 80's restaurant with amber wood and fabric chairs.
The menu was ok- steak or chicken or vegetarian. Unfortunately , SOOO much garlic butter and oil used in cooking. So much teriyaki used on chicken.
Cheese cake desserts was delicious though.
Service was ok, except for a surly gentleman who clears plates. I asked to take my leftovers home, and he actually rolled his eyes before asking another gentleman to wrap it up for me.
Over all, given its name and reputation that goes with it, along with prices, I don't feel it was worth it. I've had other teppanyaki at a lower cost and much friendlier and tastier
