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.… Read Full Editorial

Such an awesome experience! by TerLen via Citysearch on 5/15/2012

Benihana has been around for a while, and I hope they stick around. It can be a little slow, but you go there not just for the food but for the experience! The chefs are always great and well trained, and the staff have always been very…

Amazing First Time Experience! Chef's Table Subscriber by Orionjd via Citysearch on 6/30/2011

Thank you Benihana for an awesome Birthday! Being part of the "Chef's Table" e-subscription helped us have an awesome time while saving money! We had the Trio with Filet Mignon, Chicken Breast and Colossal Shrimp. It was Delicious. It was…

If you have 3 hours to waist!!! by sonnergyrl via Citysearch on 3/10/2011

We went to the restaurant for my friends birthday. She made reservations for 7:30. We arrived on time, well not all of us. The rest of the party of nine arrived by 8:00. However, we did not eat until way into the evening. As we waited and…

Would not go back by goldfish19 via Citysearch on 2/7/2010

We went to because our hotel was literally steps away and it was too cold to head to our favorite vietnamesese restaurant 15mins away by walking. It was lunch time and we thought of order the lunch portions as we didn't know how good or…

Atmosphere is like a McDonalds with Hatchets! by opinion2008 via Citysearch on 7/16/2008

5 of us arrived and sat in the cafeteria looking louge for 30 minutes even though we had a reservation. No one offered us anything. We were apparently waiting to be seated until they had enough people to fill one of their hibachi tables.…

Avoid it at all cost by Mochacoffee via Citysearch on 3/7/2008

This was the worst dining experience I ever encountered. The night was to begin at 7:00p with reservations; however we were not seated until well after 8p after customers who came in without reservations. This was supposed to be a birthday…

Traditional Hibachi Cooking by wadester via Citysearch on 11/26/2006

Benihana's Downtown serves a nice assortment of Hibachi dinners cooked tableside, while offering a nice escape from the Downtown hustle and bustle outside the doors. The decor has become a little too dated, and it would be nice if they…

Bad service - average food - avoid and save yourself time and heart burn! by j20ela via Citysearch on 10/31/2006

Host was rude rolled her eyes as she couldn't understand English every well. Took 10 mins to get served after being seated. Took 40 mins after this to get a less than average meal which we had to leave most of due to length of time…

Unoriginal and Overpriced by wokoran via Citysearch on 3/1/2006

After waiting 15 minutes for a table to fill up to dine with complete strangers. The food itself was bland and unoriginal (something almost anyone could cook in their own house) and as far as the "show" was concerned, let's just say that…

Food you'll crave by bradskate via Citysearch on 10/1/2003

The food is excellent, I am still craving it. I went there during lunch and we had to wait for our table to fill up with people bevore we were served. I think it would be more fun to go with a large group of friends, our meal took about…

Excellent by ranmababy via Citysearch on 3/14/2003

Excellent food. I've always loved their teppan-style steak and seafood. I found out recently that they have expanded their sushi menu. Their spider handroll was excellent and it's probably the biggest in town. Service was great and the…

The BEST! by lovemycody via Citysearch on 11/21/2002

I eat here atleast once per week. The staff is great, as well as the food. They have the BEST sushi in Houston!
