"This Benihana location is not what it used to be the food does not taste the way it used to taste the sushi taste very bland all the chefs are not Asian Japanese or Chinese so if you're going for an authentic feel you won't find it here it is a lot more pricier than the competitors but unfortunately Benihana is a thing of the past at least in Beachwood I would highly recommend going to Wasabi's on Rockside Road or Fiji Japan in Macedonia if I woulda wrote this review 2 years ago it would have been 5 stars but this place is really gone bad I know them when they used to be the samurai and the samurai was 100 times better than benihanas but Benihana was good I guess for the last 15 years but now it's just terrible the food didn't even taste like Japanese food to me. And to top it all off it was my wife's birthday and I told the manager and our chef and our server and when the time came to leave they didn't even want to sing happy birthday for us or bring a dessert and told us we're very short staffed right now but meanwhile the tables next to us had people that work at the restaurant singing happy birthday and taking pictures of them very unpleasant service we received that is very expensive for nothing."^^ .
