Natalie MMay 25, 2016If you feel like splurging the scallops are so good! Always get the chicken fried rice instead of steamed and order a sushi roll for an app. I never get full off the regular meal.Upvoted Feb 19
Bora BaysalMay 23, 2016I just ordered Spicy Hibachi Chicken which was really spicy but the Japanese Chef kept supplying side-dishes, even some shrimps to our plates just from the grill😉 great food, great show👍
The JeniaJuly 26, 2012If you get there by lunch time you'll be full on their delicious salad, fried rice and vegetable dishes (which are all free), before you even get to what you ordered.Upvoted Feb 19
Tom MaxwellOctober 21, 2019It’s a chain restaurant and kind of corny, sure, but entertaining nonetheless and the food is good. Go for fried, not steamed, rice. Reserve seating beforehand if you’re with a group.
Benihana is a culinary establishment people come here from around the world to take a brief respite from whatever conference they're in town for. Anyways great spot - go for lunch it's 1/2 the price.
Tom CoatesJanuary 25, 2019The experience and the performance is super fun and really entertaining. Honestly though I’m not a fan of the food or drinks. It’s heavy and rich and mediocre.
Just a heads up! When you get your free photo @ the end of your birthday dinner- leave the lights OFF! Your photo will probably look better with a Lil color! It's a free photo- but STILL.- You have o order the Diablo sauce. It's not on the menu. A small size is $2.50 and a large is $5.00. It's the only spicy sauce they have. It's like an orange aioli.
Garry TanJanuary 6, 2019Ok it’s cheesy and a big chain, and it is a bit of a long wait. But it is fun and relatively tasty.
Gene KeenanAugust 23, 2011Johnny Nitro (may he rest in peace) would say they are drinking doubles until they are seeing triple. In the case of Benihana it's drinking triples until your your seeing quadruple
the lunch boat special is great! $9.25 for steamed rice salad soup chicken 6 pieces of sushi 4 pieces of california roll depfried vegtables and shrimp and more!
Vincent PardueMarch 31, 2012Took my girl here for her first ever Benihana experience! Chef Jose was so nice and such a talented chef! ありがとうございます!
June EchipareMay 2, 2014we were not entertain even though there are lot of chairs available, they, waiting 20 minutes is too much, 3 other party also left and went to opposite of the restaurant, were the third party who left
RyanJanuary 23, 2011Have a contest with your group to see how many times they will beat the drum for a birthday. You will be surprised. Our record is 12 in one meal.
Alex TenetteSeptember 10, 2014The food was a bit salty the show was okay. Service is great. I prefer hana Japan in berkeley if I'd had to choose.- Y make a reso @ 7pm when you dont even get seated or fed until 820PM. I is hungreee!!!!! Gesssssus!
Tina LNovember 21, 2011Free Souvenir mug for kids under 12 with purchase of any Kids Meal for Kabuki Kids members.
Diana GalvisMarch 9, 2015Not good for vegetarians but nice place to take your parents when they are in town
GabrielleJune 10, 2018They made us wait for 45 min after our reservation and didn’t do any food tricks.
Mustafa ÇetinOctober 6, 2017Yemekler, sunum ve aşçıların şovu çok başarılıydı. Havalandırması sorunluydu, donduk ve hastalandık.
