All food cooked with the same condiments, so it all tasted the same, also all main meats (steak, chicken, salmon, shrimp) were over cooked. Room so noisy you couldn't talk to the person next to you without yelling. On a positive note, the food prep gentleman was entertaining.

One of my most interesting experiences. Let's dive right in...
The food was some of the best I've ever tasted, especially for my first time eating hibachi. The cooks were hilarious and provided some awesome entertainment while we ate. It was an overall enjoyable experience.
Then we get to the not so awesome part..
I'm not sure what didn't agree with me but something about this food required an immediate exit. we paid, went out to the parking lot and with some rumbles in my tummy I had to quickly go back inside to do some mega sharting.
And I couldn't even get out of Cleveland before having to stop two more times to destroy some other gas station bathrooms...
Other then the explosive diarrhea, it was some of the best food I've had in my life, but sadly because of getting sick I don't plan on returning...

Your waiter was very rude. I am appalled that your server would come to me asking for more of a tip in front of a table of people, it was very rude and disgusting. Your waiter only came to our table twice, never asked if we wanted anything else. Yes, my bill was $144, it was $144 in business that you wouldn't have by the looks of this place. I tipped the server, I tipped the cook and added a tip. Your server was very rude and I didn't like it. We won't be back!

We came here for my son’s birthday on a Saturday because he was home from college and his bday is on Tuesday. The owner (or guy in charge) refused to give him his birthday discount because it was “over two days” from his actual birthday. We had a party of 6 but they put an automatic tip on the bill so clearly he did not care if we were happy. It would have only cost him $15 and he would have had happy customers. The website does not state this requirement. Very disappointed and it left a bad taste (pun intended) in our mouths after an otherwise good night with a great cook and great waitress. Interestingly when I called to make reservations, a man answered and told me to call back in 30 minutes and then he could “take care” of me. I guess I should have seen the red flag that customer service is not his priority.

Will never go back. The place was dirty. Service was terrible. They sat us, and then we had to wait to see if more people came in just to fill the table. Didn't even get drinks. No air conditioning, it was stuffy and gross. The ceilings and floors were coated in grease and grime. We almost left, and 2 more people came to fill the table so we stayed. We had 3 hungry kids. Every little thing cost extra, the food seemed ok but it actually gave me a terrible stomach ache all night. Some of our steak was still raw, so we didn't eat those pieces. All in all, we'll never go back amd I'm surprised they passed health inspection with all the grease.

Edit to add, it's the next day, and my family and I all got sick. This place is horrible.

NEVER GO HERE!!!! Food is so mediocre and not worth the money. Tried to take home for leftovers but the smell of it made me extremely nauseous. To put the cherry on top, the incompetent server used MY CARD to pay for the table of 10 PEOPLE that was next to my table. THEIR BILL WAS OVER $250!!!! MY BILL WAS $35! Obviously I returned the next day attempting to get my money back and THEY REFUSED!!! His reasoning was “You’ll just dispute it with your bank”… OKAY AND??? It was your mistake and now i’m $267 poorer after a meal I didn’t even like?!! All he could do for me was have the server call me to apologize…. I DON’T WANT AN APOLOGY, I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!! Ive given this some time and the server or owner NEVER CALLED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THIS!! Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. I’ll forever remember this place as the absolute worst restaurant i’ve ever been to.

Poor service, short staffed. It was a Monday and they didn’t even have anyone at the door. No one greeted us until 20-30 minutes of us standing at the bar. Everyone that worked there didn’t even pay attention to us. After 20-30 minutes we finally got greeted. They told us we had to wait 45 min to an hour and couldn’t even wait at the bar meanwhile because it was closed. I left… can’t say anything about the food just service!

I liked how the menu options were a little different for a Hibachi spot. I got the pineapple chicken it was very good it came with your choice of soup or salad, rice, or noodles. The salad was very good and the rice was as well for the lunch price of 11 dollars. I felt it was very reasonable. The other plate was steak and noddles with soup for 13. Service was good, not very crowded it was nice.

This restaurant wasn't what I expected 😒 The staff was short, we had 7:30 reservations, and we were the last table to be served about 10:00 that evening, and they closed at 10:30 . I think I would've had a better time at Benihanas!!

Sushi Experience №59

Had higher hopes for this location based on previous reviews. But this was one of the WORST experiences I have had at a hibachi restaurant.
First off, we choose the location because the well known Hibachi restaurant we normally go to up the street was booked for the night. We have gave this location a try to celebrate my daughter’s 14th birthday.
Making a reservation was fine, our server was pretty attentive, but where things took a turn for the worse was with our hibachi chef. When going over our allergies (seafood) that was fine, but when my sister mentioned very nicely she had an egg allergy (even though our server was aware and her rice was being made in the back) our chef started making fun of our table having too many allergies. We thought he was being sarcastic with us because we know they like to play and have a good time, but his face turned bright red and angry and he taunted us for at least a minute. It was the most awkward experience I have ever had at a restaurant. We were a friendly table just out trying to have a good time and it really made for a horrible experience.
To top it all off my sister he was taunting just lost her husband and this was her first outing since he passed away. A lesson for anyone reading this - you never know what someone is going through. Be kind. Everything is not a big deal and can typically be worked out with understanding and communication.
This chef needs to be fired and get out of the hospitality industry because he certainly has NONE. Also, our takeout had TONS of hair in it when we got home which made things even worse. The ventilation system must not work because the smoke in the restaurant was ridiculous. I would never recommend this location to anyone. Attempt to go 5 minutes up the road if you can.

Service is outstanding!!!! The other well-known habachi chain restaurants CANNOT compete with what this restaurant offers. You've gotta try it! Ask for Chef Chris, if he's there, he's the best! So engaging, so funny. Its dinner and a show... Be sure to tip well, they deserve it!!!❤️

It was okay. To be honest I love about you and I was a little bit disappointed because I didn't give me any yum yum sauce or any Ginger sauce and I got mine to go. Obviously usually I don't take my hibachi to go I stay for the experience and good times with my friends or family but this time I was on lunch. It clearly said that all of this came with it and they didn't put any of it in my bag. Honestly they didn't even put silverware in my bag and I just so happen to have some because I work out of my truck all day... I'm not trying to say it's a bad restaurant honestly I've never eaten inside of it. I stood behind one person who was having a conversation of some sort with the person at the register for a good 10 minutes waiting until finally someone else asked me if they could help me! I was on lunch and I got a half hour so that kind of pissed me off. If I would have done this review that day it would have been lower but the food was good even without the sauces that I consider a necessity with hibachi.

I would definitely give them another try, but to be honest I would probably do it on lunch again to see if they could get it right this time before I take my family. If you go in with your people and sit at the table I'm sure but this is what I experienced.

We’ve been coming here for years, it was our first restaurant we visited the day they opened after the Covid lockdowns, unfortunately the place has gone downhill to the point that nobody there cares anymore. We used to sit at the bar almost every week and there were great bartenders, that have all left. The bar area never opened back up after Covid. Our weekly visit turned to a few times a year. It’s piled with stuff everywhere, the menus are filthy, your shoes stick to the floor, yet we continued to go back for the good sushi. Service was awful, we would sit at the sushi bar and the chef was awesome but the servers wouldn’t show up to take our order. We would literally be eating our sushi before the server even showed up, we ordered drinks that never came, it was so sad. Then one day, no sushi chef! I’d call every few months to see if they got a new chef and today I called and was happy to hear they did. We showed up to a huge mess, couldn’t sit at the sushi bar now either, it was also covered with stuff. We were seated at a table near the sushi bar with disgustingly dirty and barely legible menus. Funny part is when the manager took us to the table, he set down the crumpled dirty sushi menu and there were already two menus on the table and the seats were pulled out and he made a gesture and said something under his breath like “oh there’s already menus here…” as if he realized he must have sat people there and they left. We waited and waited, no server came, we went to the manager (or owner?, same Asian guy who’s always been there every time we go, we were regulars for years and he never once came to us and asked us how things were or just to introduce e himself, nothing, never.) after a 10 minute wait and told him we will never return. So sad, it was our favorite place.

Food was good. But we will never be back here again! It shouldn’t take more than an hour to get service. Waitress was all over the place. They need to hired more people or do better. We had a lot of kids with us so they were so impatient waiting for food. We even ordered a appetizer and never received because she forgot. Waited an hour for refills as well. Service overall was horrible. We had reservations for 6pm and didn’t get seated right away either. They made us wait a while and then we waited 30 minutes to get checks and waited another 15-20 minutes to pay. We left around 9pm. Don’t recommend if you have to be somewhere else. You literally will be here all night!

I give Hibachi a three because the food was sloppy and greasy. The service was okay but they're understaffed so it took fifteen minutes to get drink refills.

My son and I just left this restaurant. The food was very tasty. I had no idea the meals came with shrimp, I am allergic, so I informed the waitress. She takes my food back ro the chef. Let's keep in mind, they are literally right behind me. She tells him I am allergic. He asked if he was to repare the entire meal again. She tells him no. Just the veggies and Salmon. The food looked good on return but guess what my chicken was cold. I didn't trip to bad because the rest of my meal was hot. I spoke to the manager who was barely paying attention, so I just wanted to drop a line. My last meal before my son goes back to school and we get the clown show.

We had 5:30 reservations. We wanted to sit in the main dining room and order off the regular menu and NOT have the hibachi meals cooked right in front of us. We had tickets to an event after dinner. The hostess said it would be a while before they could get to us in that dining room and we would get served faster if we ate at the hibachi table. So she took us to a hibachi table. We arrived and were seated before the people at the next table but then they put other people at our table. The next table was served first. We got our drinks , soup and salad after a little while but the chef did not come to our table to even start cooking until 6:40, so we had been there 1 hour and 10 minutes already. We left at 7:22 and were late to our event Downtown. When we first arrived, a chef in the other room was incredibly loud in his entertaining, so we could not even hear each other to talk. It seemed like the people at his table were enjoying him though. The food was good and our chef was nice and entertaining though. The floor going in between the 2 rooms was very slippery and everyone in our party noticed it. We will not return due to the incredibly loud atmosphere, the slippery floor and the really long wait for food.

literally the absolute worst service i have ever had. we were seated at 7:40, ordered our drinks and meals. at 8, they seated another four guests at our table, whatever no big deal. they ordered their drinks and food. a table of 7 was seated next to us 10 minutes later. at 815 that table received their soup and salad, we still haven’t. by 820, their chef was there. someone at my table went upfront to speak to someone, they looked at us and walked away. we went up front a second time, it is now 825 and we our finally just getting our salads. the woman apologized and guaranteed a round of drinks would be given to us. on a positive note, our chef was PHENOMENAL, and made a bad experience much better. by the time our bills came, no drinks were taken off our tabs, and no discount was added. if i could, i would give 0 stars.

10/10 WOULD NOT recommend. will never be back

Dined in with a party of 4. We were seated immediately, got our drinks and gave our orders. 20 minutes later they decided to add 4 more people to our table. Took over 25 minutes for them to order so it’s now been 45 minutes and we still have not eaten a thing. No salad or soup. We approached a manager and they offered to take our drinks off our tab. Mind you another group had walked in and were eating by time we got our salads. Cook comes out as we received our salads… The cook was absolutely phenomenal and made us happy!!! Received our checks with every drink on them and no discount what so ever. Highly highly dissatisfied. We will not be returning.

This use to be my Favorite Restaurant. Very upset that the Server can give such bad service and get 18% tip. We had a party of 10. Took half hr to get out drinks. 1.5 hr for chef to start. Yum Yum was very spicy. Use to be my favorite. They are getting from different co now so its spicy. The meat portions were smaller than norm and the server never brought out my rice. my steak and shrimp were cold by time I got my rice. I dont recommend having a party larger than 7 so u can tip what server deserves. He also tried saying couldnt get Bday discount because it wasnt same day

One star is more than they deserve. We made a reservation tonight to celebrate 2 of my daughter's birthdays. Our cook was rather boring (in comparison to the other tables cook). But that was the least of our concern. Out of the 8 people at out table, not 1 ate their food nor took it to go. The rice was still hard the teriyaki chicken was dry and flavorless. They did however take $20 off of the $100 bill for the 4 of us. But $80 is a lot of money to donate to an establishment in exchange for all of us now feeling like we are going to throw up. I do NOT recommend, we will NEVER return!

This is not a rating of the food, because I made a reservation and stood around for 30 minutes, and they still couldn’t tell me anything, even though the restaurant was pretty empty. I understand employee shortages, but they were extremely unorganized, and it was a waste of my night.

Our experience at this restaurant was terrible. We were seated at about 4:15. Our first server didn’t come with our drinks until 4:45 and then she spilled them all over the table and floor. She then left and never came back. Another server came 10 or so minutes later and took our drink order for the drinks that had spilled. We didn’t get our drinks from the bar until 5:15, so an hour after we sat down. Our appetizers that we ordered with the first server didn’t come until after the chef was already cooking our meals. We asked about our appetizers and the new server said they only have one person who does apps. However, we saw multiple tables that came and ordered after us get their apps long before us. The chef was the only good part of our dinner. We had to ask for things multiple times before our server came with them. We were there almost three hours. We asked our server at the end if we could talk to the manager and she was telling us how the time we spent there was part of the experience and how it usually takes this long. I told her it does not take an hour to get a drink and she said it usually does. I don’t think anyone would go there if they had to wait an hour just for a drink. We asked to speak to the manager and she said she would get her but the manager never came. This restaurant is poorly managed and should probably train servers on appropriate times for delivering drinks and appetizers. In addition, the floor and surrounding areas of our table were also disgusting like they had not been cleaned in a very long time. It was gross. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Nope. Just nope. The people that work here have no clue what they are doing (the management that is), the manager/owner was walking around today clueless, no idea what he was doing. People were waiting for an hour or more, they have the sign that says “we are experiencing a staff shortage” though, like that absolves them. They are not experiencing staff shortage, they just don’t want to hire more people to save labor, so they work with a skeleton crew even when they are busy, and the food takes over an hour to come out. I would not recommend this place, there are way more hibachi places that are more professional and the manager/owner at least acknowledges you when you stand right in front of them.

Sorry, will not go back. Bad from the very beginning- it was very dreary when you walk in the front door, Took a good 5 minutes for the hostess to acknowledge us, even tho they had just opened 5 minuts before we got there and nobody but us was there. when she took us to our table, there was old food on the seats and floor which told us they hadnt cleaned the night before. once we got seated it took awhile for our server to come to our table. Then we find out the menus were outdated and they charged extra for fried rice even though the menu said it was included. Once our cook came to the table, he was ok, until grease from the overhead vent started dripping down on our plates, come to find out they hadnt cleaned the vent. Instead of moving us to another table since we were the only ones there, they just moved 2 of us to the end of the table we were at. It continued to drip and splatter throughout our meal. And all we got was "" we are so sorry about that"". The least they could have done is compensate us on our bill. I will definately NEVER go back. Horrible experience!!! Cook told the people in the kitchen about the grease and no manager ever showed their face, the cook apologized.

I went there with my wife to celebrate her parents, my in-laws, birthdays. I started out with a drink, the Tokyo Iced Tea, which was basically a Long Island with melon liqueur added. I must say they certainly didn’t skimp on the alcohol!!! Yummy!!! This was followed by an onion soup (yummy) and a salad (nothing special). But the main attraction at these sort of restaurants are the chefs, their corny jokes, and the fire, and these didn’t disappoint. Although this restaurant was farther because the one close to us closed (Mentor) I got the same tasty meal and flamboyantly entertaining service I’ve come to expect, with plenty to take home. The only con was the floors that could have been maintained better, and that kept me from giving them 5 stars.

Be prepared to be here for two to three hours. Even with a reservation you’ll be waiting. The food is very good. Way better than the big names out. Besides the length of time you’ll be here from walking in to leaving, five stars

Manager had no interest in seating us without a reservation in a practically empty restaurant and kept looking at her watch. Pathetic. Drive an extra minute to Wasabi. I beg you. Place smelled like it hasn’t been cleaned in years so I guess a bullet dodged.

The food was really good and the chef was funny and made the experience fun for everyone at the table.

Gave it 4 stars because they were extremely understaffed and although, yes I understand the situation, they could had made it known to our large group and been upfront about the wait time.

From getting there to eating it was almost two hours. Again, we made the best of it since we had family from out of town and we drank plenty and talked, but the information would had been appreciated and maybe the restaurant would had even made more money if we had gone ahead and ordered sushi as appetizers for the long wait.

From reading the other reviews, it seems we weren't the only ones with the long wait times and lack of a chef.

So, we just left hibachi on rockside road in Independence, OH and I will say I could not have even imagined service could be this bad. We were there to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Our server (Peggy) was so rude. She should not be working in any form of customer service. She did not listen nor comprehend our orders, she discriminated against my child by trying to tell me she was older than 10, and she tried to charged us for food we didn’t order. She spoke to us in a very demeaning way and she refused to give my cousin her change from her cash payment. I have no clue what happened to this place over the years, maybe they changed management or something but I’m sure they won’t be open too much longer. DO BETTER HIBACHI!!!

2nd time trying to eat at this so called restaurant. Was told to wait with not a single eating soul in the facility I wish Google would already allow pictures to be posted to our rating just to see the live view of some of these places. Garbage no need to waist time here.

At first glance I was skeptical about this place, seemed a bit older, not as nice looking as I expected but my coworker and I decided to try it anyway. Ordered the Choice of Three Meats lunch special and got NY Steak, Teriyaki chicken and the Shark Steak and my coworker did the Teriyaki chicken, Pineapple Chicken and the Shark Steak also. Food was great, and very filling, portion was pretty large between the meats, the fried rice and Vegetables. Lunch also came with a soup or salad, coworker got the salad, I got the soup, both were tasty.

Chefs are understaffed. Long wait to eat which was okay for us but might be bad for others or if you have kids.. Waitress was great at refilling drinks while we waited. Chef was hard to hear/understand but still entertaining. Would visit again

This place use to be good but not anymore. They Nickle and dime you for everything now. To share with a 4 year old is $6. Extra yum yum and ginger sauce is now 75 cents. The staff was rude. Seems like the quality of food has gone down. And not very clean inside. Such a shame

We love going here for birthdays or just dinner with family or friends. They do light fire when cooking in front of you. If you bring proof of birthday (drivers license or birth certificate) and go there on your actual birthday, they will take $15 off of the Birthday dinner!
