In Short – Benihana started out as a tiny four-table restaurant in New York City's theater district before becoming an international chain. Diners sit around large tables where chefs ostentatiously chop, slice, stir-fry and grill. Entree options are simple--shrimp, chicken, steak and scallops--and preparation is uniform. Every entree comes with a similar stock of sides: rice, onion soup, shrimp appetizer, iceberg lettuce drizzled with dressing, sauteed vegetables and green tea.

Good,but not great
by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch
If you never had Hibachi before, this is the place you should consider. Food is not bad but nowhere close to high quality. Service is okay, not all chefs are truely Japanese.

All Around Excellent
by cgorilla at Citysearch
The food is delicious and the wait staff is very courteous. It is a little pricey it can run around around $100 for dinner for two but it is worth the splurge. I would just like to say for the idiot below my review that had this huge birthday bash and was supposedly treated poorly by the valet staff, so you know for future reference the valet service is contracted and not direct employees of benihana. If you are dumb enough to inconvenience your whole son's birthday attendees you must have your head in a different place. That is comparable to taking a lousy cab to a hotel and canceling your hotel reservation because the cabbie was rude. Aside from that person I highly recommend trying the place it is excellent service food and scenery.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: A little pricey

Totally terrible attitude. Avoid!
by AlanZ at Citysearch
We had a reservation at Benihana's tonight for my son's birthday. As a student of Japanese culture, this was a special treat, planned weeks in advance. However, the valet staff was so rude and obnoxious that we walked in, cancelled our reservation, and left. What a terrible attitude. Everyone in our party agreed that there's no excuse for their behavior.
