Alright so Benihana is definitely viewed as the king of hibachi chain serving up entertainingly prepared dishes.
As a local I stay clear away from the strip unless we have guests in town and well based on my yelp reviews, MY HOME IS ALWAYS FILLED WITH VISITORS. So as the hostess with the mostest I decided to try Benihana again and ditch Giesha House or Ohjah (my normal go-to's) I must admit I forgot what to expect because from here because I've avoided going to the run down original location at Westgate (last time I went it was called the Hilton).
Our chef was Hans and well the food tasted great. The quality of food was delicious and onion soup was amazing! I must note the lobster was cooked to perfection and not rubbery like I've had at our places. As for our chef, he definitely lacked the entertainment of your normal hibachi dinner don't get me wrong the fried rice heart beat was beating and the volcano was there but the personality and humor was cooked right out of our chef tonight. So we lived vicariously through our neighbors table who's laughs echoed throughout restaurant.
Any who, the scenery amongst the restaurant is beautiful and the location is right next to Sugar Factory right across from the Wynn. My family and I walked off our calories across the bridge to the mini wannabe Bellagio fountain at the Wynn and listened to some old school Frank Sinatra! What a "Wynn"!
