Used to be better...new management by Daniel A via Insider Pages on 5/3/2011
I have been going to Benihana for over 20 years. I generally eat at the San Diego location, but I stay at the Hilton Waikiki a lot, so a visit to this inside-resort location is almost a must.\r

The problem with this location...besides…
Good food, fun place! by Lena A via Insider Pages on 6/23/2010
Okay, so I know this place isn't really the most authentic Asian cuisine, but it's still a lot of fun to watch them cook the food in front of you. It is especially good if you bring your family because it's like live entertainment while…
It's OK but it used to be better by Lauren M via Insider Pages on 5/13/2009
I used to think Benihana's was really fun when the servers were allowed to really be creative and juggle food (and knives)\r
\r
But I think a customer complained when something was dropped and now the "show" is toned down and not as…
Expensive by Emily C via Insider Pages on 11/19/2008
It is expensive but everybody should experience this cooking show at least once. I love how the chef handle the egg with his spatula. Foods are not that great for the money. Not kid friendly restaurant.
Dinner and a Show by Melissa S via Insider Pages on 11/4/2008
Its just so much fun and the food is delicious. They have imported Japanese beers and of course SAKE!!!. I lived in Japan 3 years and this definitely brings me back.

Whenever we have a special occasion we head to Benihana's. Not only great Japanese food but excellent entertainment in watching the chef's prepare your meal before your eyes. Their knife work is unbelievable!
A Dining Experience by Brian G via Insider Pages on 3/24/2006
Benihana is definately an "Experience" rather than just a dinner. If your party is small you will be seated with other guests, but It's really not bad at all.. just make some new friends :-D. I went there for lunch so it wasn't too busy,…
Benihana by Tina P via Insider Pages on 11/2/2005
Benihana is a teppanyaki style restaurant located in Hotel Circle. This is a great restaurant if you are looking for something different. The food is amazing, and although the portions may seem small, there are so many courses and a few…
Awesome place by Gary K via Insider Pages on 10/14/2005
Benihana's is awesome, hands down. The group seating is nice, especially for a large group of friends. The show that the chef puts on is very entertaining, especially for the first time. The valet service as well as waiters/waitresses…
Great by Charles Y via Insider Pages on 8/29/2005
Great service, great waiters, great chefs. Awesome food as well. An excellent place to go to with your friends, family, and kids. You will not be bored.
Absolutely Amazing... by Paula C via Insider Pages on 8/25/2005
'Teppanyaki' is the name of a Traditional Japanese-style hibachi steakhouse. That is the premise behind Benihana. At Benihana they prepare and serve your meal by a Chef who performs for you and your guests, right at your table.
The…
great by Allison B via Insider Pages on 7/25/2005
Some people might be put off by the group seatings (often more than one party to a table) but in the end, Benihana has great food and is a great way to meet new people. The waiters preform the classic antics and throw in some new ones to…
