It’s BENIHANA! It is an experience. If you haven’t dined hibachi style here, you definitely want to try. It is fun for adults and kids. The food is good, predictable and very fresh. The atmosphere is perfect and great for large crowds. Definitely a tourist-y destination especially the one in Monterey, but none-the-less a great experience. Reservations recommended as it can be tough during peak times and seasons.

I had a good time, but the food didn’t taste like it used to. I understand everyone is cutting costs,,, but for those prices they shouldn’t be cutting anything but the food they are cooking!

Service and atmosphere is nice for a mainstream sushi place. Prices and the sides where pretty bad. Loose a star for the packets of name brand soy sauce. Yuck, what a way to cheap out your customers! Not to mention trash on my table the whole time I’m eating. Take that savings to the bank Benihana! Gives it a McDonalds feel. Oh wait McDonald upgraded to little sauce cups for dipping and condiment pumpers at least!

Very delicious, good customer service. The rice is addicting. You can order the rice spicy which makes it that much better.

It was fun! But when the meal was done and we all sat around waiting for the bill after waving down two different servers, we just called the restaurant on the phone to talk to the host to ask for the check . It was a Thursday and not busy.

Excellent service and food. We had the fillet mignon for $31. You get rice soup, salad shrimp with your grilled meat. They also gave us a scoop of ice cream for free. The Teppan table sits 8 people. If your party is less than that you most likely will have to share a table with other groups. It’s all about the show the chef puts on in preparing your food. I noticed some chefs are more skilled and personable than others. It’s pretty much the same show and food that I remember them putting on 45 yrs ago.

We had a great time at Benihana, I appreciate the fact they accommodated our big family. We had 2 tables next to each other, in which we had to reserve before arriving. It was a last minute thing and thankfully they had room for us. Yes it’s expensive especially if you start drinking . Overall we all enjoyed our food and they serve you large portions and with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Do come with an empty stomach. My Sake hit the spot!! We parked our cars at he Heritage parking garage down the street, take your parking ticket with you so they can validate your parking. Great service, great time, delicious food thank you!!!

Bad service, be careful with this restaurant, we ordered food for seven people and we noticed it was a lot of food, so we decided to cancel 3 of the plates that we ordered before they were cooked. When we were already done eating and asked for the ticket, we noticed they still charged us for the other 3 plates we canceled, and only gave us a small discount for each plate we canceled which they never mention that during the cancellation, The hostess was in a really bad mood. I will never go back.
