Wow! This restaurant has improved for the better! 5 stars! Last night we dined and had a great time.
Grant was our server and Hiro was our cook! They both were amazing! Now I have dined with Benihana for 25 years and this was one of the best times we've had in years.
Grant was super nice and really cared that we enjoyed our dining experience at his table. He has great customer service skills and not once was I trying to search for our waiter because he was very attentive to refilling drinks, getting plates out of the way, etc. He has a great attitude and would love to sit in his section again.
Our cook was Hiro. He had some excellent tricks and impressed me and my family with them. He interacted with the entire table while cooking. Even though there was more than one group he made sure we all enjoyed his cooking and that no one was left out. Holy cow Benihana has some new chef tricks. Which are awesome and safe!!!! Hands down he is an excellent chef. He cooked everything perfect. Who seriously eats all their zucchini?! Yeah I did. Lol that's how amazing the food was. Even though i order the same thing every time I go. It was perfection!
We had called in a little later for our reservation and they got us in at the time we wanted! The girl who answered the phone was so nice and patient while we tried to figure out what time to go.
Every year for my birthday we come to Benihana and they make it special. I get sang to, ice cream, and the best part is the birthday picture. Now to some they might overlook this, bot not me. we have years and years of birthday pictures from Benihana. So it's a tradition. But what's even better than a tradition? When you get great service and great food with it.
