out of 5 starsSuch an awesome experience! by TerLen on 5/15/2012 via Citysearch
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…

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 on 3/10/2011 via Citysearch
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 on 2/7/2010 via Citysearch
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 on 7/16/2008 via Citysearch
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 on 3/7/2008 via Citysearch
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 on 11/26/2006 via Citysearch
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 on 10/31/2006 via Citysearch
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 on 3/1/2006 via Citysearch
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 on 10/1/2003 via Citysearch
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 on 3/14/2003 via Citysearch
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 on 11/21/2002 via Citysearch
I eat here atleast once per week. The staff is great, as well as the food. They have the BEST sushi in Houston!
