Sushi Experience №1

The service was horrible. We received the food in different times. The ones who ordered seafood finished their meal and the chef put the filet mignon at the end for the last person. The watermelon magic cooler was salty and horrible. The sauces that came with food was no good. And we realized at the end we didnt even get water on our table. The service was a chaos and we did not like it.

Benihana is known more for their atmosphere than food and it didn’t surprise here. Food was so so and atmosphere could have been better.

Complete waste of my money. I brought my husband here for his birthday as we both love hibachi but have never been to Benihana. We were both very excited to try it for the first time and one of our friends has never done hibachi before.

The server Christian was fantastic, but the cook had no personality and did not do any tricks or talk the entire time. When I spoke to the manager about this he told me that the cook did everything he was supposed to do and he “watched the cameras” and saw that he did what he was supposed to. When I told the manager that the cook in fact did nothing he told me I was wrong and again that he “watched the cameras”. He was completely rude and did nothing for our table.

Will never been coming back here or any Benihana. I can go to normal hibachi and pay half the price and get double the food and an actual show.

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had

0/10. NOT RECOMMENDED

I booked my birthday dinner at Benihana, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I used to love going for interactive dining, but this time, both the food and the overall experience fell short.

Our reservation was on a Thursday night at 7 PM—not a busy weekend—but service was slow, and we felt rushed to leave as soon as the chef finished cooking. Despite it being a birthday celebration, the chef didn’t do anything special to acknowledge the occasion.

The chef didn’t perform any of the entertaining tricks that Benihana is typically known for, which was a letdown. The service was sluggish, and it took an unusually long time for the bar to deliver our drinks to the table.

As for the food, it was just mediocre. I ordered the chicken fried rice, and it wasn’t as flavorful as I remembered from previous visits. The service was so behind only half our party got the pre meal salad and soup before the chef came over and started cooking.

Overall, this visit did not live up to the expectations, especially for a birthday dinner. I won't be going back.

I live in the area, and Benihanas is my favorite restaurant among a group of excellent places to eat. The food is consistently delicious and enjoyably prepared in front of you. The staff is friendly and very professional, making each visit a pleasure. The restaurant is always clean and has a lively, fun atmosphere, thanks to the chefs and their entertaining cooking style. I’d also like to commend Josh, Alex, and Chermaine for their courteous, attentive, and diligent service. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, this place is definitely 5 stars.

Wow. Seriously, avoid this place like the plague. We’ve made it a tradition to visit this Benihana location on Christmas Day for years now, with this visit being our third or fourth annual outing. That was the first mistake. We had a 12:00pm reservation. We checked in with an unbelievably RUDE manager who told us, “You’ll be called when space is available. Okay!?” Thanks for the estimated seating. At 12:25pm we checked the status of our reservation, they told us it wouldn’t be much longer as they’re finishing seating the reservation time before us. After 12:50pm passed, enough was enough and our party asked the host the status of our seating. The host informed us they had accidentally took us off the reservation list. By 1:30pm, we finally made it to the table (hallelujah). The managers were indifferent and laughing at the growing mess. If you plan on visiting this location, don’t. There are several respectable restaurants in this area, this is not one of them. Based off the other reviews, this seemed to be a recurring issue. They will likely reply with a generic “thanks for visiting” owner response, with no real solution or a bit of remorse for ruining so many people’s Christmas Day. If they had any interest in retaining any semblance of a customer base, their negligent behavior would be explained.

Reservations. I don't think benihana's knows the meaning of reservations. Had a 7:15 reservation 7:50 nothing. Asked do you know when tables will be getting up. They don't, yet the have a 1 hr 20 maximum. Either there's incompetent staff or software doesn't provide basic information. Stay away if you have time constraints!

Buckle up for this wild ride. We arrive for our 12:30pm lunch reservation on December 26th for my friend’s birthday celebration. We’re told we’re not allowed to be seated without our entire party present (despite being a table of 9 and not sharing the table with any other parties). Fine. Our last pair arrive 15 minutes later due to the flash flood storms raging outside. Finally we are seated. We look at our menus to find the lunch menu is missing. The birthday girl goes back to the hostess stand to ask, and we’re given 9 new menus. Why bring dinner menus for a lunch reservation? About 15 minutes later, not a single person has come to say hello or bring waters. We see all 3 of the waiters as well as the manager sitting/ standing having drinks at the bar for this entire time (I took a photo lol). Please note, there are only 3 tables at this time in the entire restaurant and all are finished with their hibachi. We were our waiter’s only table. The birthday girl finally goes to the bar, where the manager is now standing behind, and asks if we can at least get waters. Our waiter finally comes out and we order drinks and all of our meals bc who knows when we will see this man again. I ask for a new plate since mine has orange food crusted all over it. I never receive one and just switch it out for one at a nearby empty table. In the meantime, a party arrives at the table next to us. They have waters and appetizers before we even see our waiter. Waters arrive 25 minutes after we’ve been seated. 3 drinks come incorrectly. The tempura appetizer comes with a sauce dish that has huge chips in 3 places - just raw porcelain floating in the sauce lol. The table next to us (that arrived after us) then gets served their hibachi. Another 10 mins and our chef shows up - Joseph was a gem and the only thing that could save this wild birthday experience. He’s the only reason this review is getting 3 stars. He did everything to make it fun and celebratory. At this point, we’re 2 hours in and dying to GTFO there! Our waiter brings us our checks, doesn’t even acknowledge that we were there to celebrate a birthday, bring a dessert, sing, or even say “happy birthday.” We paid full price and left LOL. Happy birthday to my bestie!

This location simply has horrendous management. We had reservations on Christmas Eve for 730, and were told the wait would be an additional 30 minutes. We were not seated until 845. We attempted to find other area restaurants to dine at, but those restaurants seemed to actually be honoring their reservations.

Once we we were seated, we all enjoyed our food. Our chef was engaging and wonderful, and our server was excellent considering the chaos of the restaurant. The price is 15-20% higher than other area hibachi, which is odd for a chain.

The egregious reservation disrespect and price are too much to overcome. We will not be back.

This was the third year of our family tradition of going to this Benihana for Christmas. Years one and two were great. This year, not so much.

When we arrived for our one o’clock reservation, we were told they were “running behind” but not by how much (that is key: manage expectations so people can self care). There were many unhappy customers waiting without seats and many in the chilly outdoors. It was angry mob energy NOT Christmas energy.

To pass the time we went to the bar but the bartenders were so busy that we weren’t acknowledged for 15 minutes. The bartender didn’t give us an itemized receipt. The tab for two beers, a mixed drink, edamame, and goyza was $55 which I only mention because that was an additional cost to us during the unacceptable wait.

We were finally seated 90 minutes later but not acknowledged by staff for another 15 minutes.

By this point, we were all beyond hungry and thirsty and frankly, were skeptical of our holiday choice. They lost many customers in this wait.

The good: Benihana has a consistent food product: good. Not amazing or the best, but you go for the experience. That’s where they got it wrong this year. The experience was degraded by the unacceptable wait.

I have ideas for how to lessen that impact: 1) call or text the folks with reservations and ask that they come at an updated time. That gives the customer a choice because after all, it is Christmas and most of us have multiple plans. Plus in manages their expectations and hunger. Since you didn’t do that … here’s what you can do once you have a bunch of hangry customers 2) hand out bottled water to the people waiting 3) get the drinks, salad and soup down right when the guest sit down 4) offer everyone a x% discount in a future visit

I felt bad for the employees too. How did you get so behind? I’m sad to lose our family Christmas tradition. It was a great one.

Last thing, I saw a female employee leave the bathroom without washing her hands, ugh.

This place deserves 0 stars!!! I made a reservation about a month ago and got numerous texts and emails reminding me about my reservation. I even got a phone call 3 or 4 days prior. However, when we arrived we were told they were running behind and it would be a 30-45 minute wait. We waited 40 minutes and asked again and were told it would be ANOTHER 30-45 minutes!! What a joke! Surely after all of these years in business they would have figured out a timeline for approximately how long a seating takes per group. The whole entrance was full of people also waiting since it was cold outside. People just kept coming. Very poor planning. I would never take my chances going to this place again. What a huge disappointment on Christmas!

My family and i had a reservation at 2 pm. When we got there at around 1:50 we were told they were running 30-45 minutes behind. So we said we’d wait. Around 2:45 pm i went and checked on the wait again and was told there was still about 6-7 tables before us and it was still going to be about another 45 minutes, so we left. I have been a server and a bartender for over 10 years and my father is a food and beverage director for restaurants himself. We are both understanding but that is ridiculous ! For our reservation at 2 pm that means we wouldn’t have been sat till probably 4 pm. You have been open for years and this is Christmas , you should have planned accordingly . This is not on the hostesses this is on management and poor planning .

I was disappointed with my experience at Benihana in Plano. Despite having a reservation, we were made to wait for 30 minutes, and the front desk staff was unfriendly and unapologetic about the delay. The lack of courtesy and customer care really left a negative impression. I expected much better service, especially with a reservation in place. Wouldn’t return based on this experience.

Great experience and very delicious food, but all things considered, $60+ per person, for the portion sides received is underwhelming. I understand it's fine dining, but it's really not to that extent. It's not terribly overpriced, just a bit. 4.5/5.

I am on an incredibly restrictive diet, and it is honestly always a challenge to eat out. The website made numerous mentions of being able to accommodate a variety of restrictions, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Not only were they able to accommodate my restrictions (FODMAP, if you're familiar, you know how difficult that is), my server also returned three times to ask clarifying questions to ensure my needs were being met. I wish I could convey the utter joy I felt in being able to participate in a family event at a restaurant AND being able to eat delicious food. This would have easily been 5 stars across the board for that fact alone. Unfortunately, we did have to wait quite a bit to be seated, greeted, and to have our chef come out to start cooking. And, I did not receive the shrimp I was charged for. But, those little inconveniences aside, it absolutely made my day to be able to share a meal with my family out and about.

Went here for dinner with my colleagues. It was a good place to be especially with the cold and rain outside due to its welcoming and cozy vibes. The food was good and so was the service. It's not a very big menu to select from, though there still is quite a variety of options you can choose from. It's better if you make a reservation in advance of your visit as this place is always busy. I would visit again for sure.

My first experience at the Plano location was deeply disappointing. The visit was nothing short of disastrous, beginning with the hostile front-desk staff. Despite having a reservation, we were forced to wait 30 minutes before being seated. Once seated, our waitress was notably absent throughout our meal. It seemed that once she realized our party would generate the automatic gratuity, her attention to our table diminished significantly. It was frustrating to see a 20% tip added to our bill when the service was so inadequate, especially since we had to repeatedly flag her down for basic service. At one point, I requested an appetizer menu, but she walked past our table without acknowledging us, requiring us to stop her again just to place our orders.

The hibachi chef's performance was equally underwhelming and failed to engage with our table, making for an uncomfortable and embarrassing birthday celebration. While other tables enjoyed entertaining cooking shows from their chefs, ours simply prepared the food with minimal interaction or enthusiasm.

The situation worsened when three people from our party suffered food poisoning the following day. I contacted the restaurant and spoke with Brad, who promised to investigate and return my call within 24 hours but never did. When I visited the restaurant in person the next day, Brad was extremely dismissive and condescending, treating me as if I were attempting to deceive the restaurant for a free meal. He even criticized me for not raising these concerns with management sooner.

When I requested to speak with his supervisor, Brad refused to escalate the matter. While he offered a complimentary meal for a future visit, I have no intention of returning to this establishment.

Folks Benihana does not accommodate Hindu meals.
We should avoid Benihana.
We had reserved a table at 8 PM. We ordered drinks at the bar, as we were tired of waiting and got to the table at 8.45PM . Some of our friends needed religious accommodations for food preparation at hibachi.
Jason the manager, refused the accommodation stating that you have to wait till 10:45.
We had already waited for 45 minutes after reservation, we were not pleased with his answer. We raised the question that he was not accommodating and respecting our religious practice and belief.
We just started to sip our drinks, we just paid for, he told us to leave threatening us to call the police.
Caution to the growing Indian Hindu community to avoid Benihana like mindset restaurants. Most restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, sports arenas, and stadiums are considered public accommodations under Title II of the Civil Rights Act. Public accommodations cannot discriminate against customers based on their religion

We went this evening as a party of 4 and had a terrible experience. The restaurant was dirty. The plates at the table were dirty The chairs and floor were sticky. The bathroom is in terrible condition. The restaurant was under staffed. This location is also currently under construction... A large portion of the restaurant near the front door is draped off with plastic that takes in maybe 300 sqft. They have portable air conditioners everywhere with hoses extending to the ceiling and making lots of noise like 10 units. The restaurant was still hot with the additional air conditioning, it just couldn't keep up. We saw the manager walking around talking but he wasn't visiting any of the tables. It was a miserable $300 dinner and we love Benihana.

Follow-up after the Benihana staff responded:

Benihana Management, your canned responses to the public's experiences and poor management of the ongoing situation at this location are transparent and exemplify the lack of good leadership. Cutting and pasting replies to poor experiences with canned spam will only bring more issues.

Update: Restaurant GM Manager reached out to resolve the experience issue and offered an apology, return visit invitation post construction with partial credit. Return visit and assistance to resolve issues were on brand and much appreciated. The current atmosphere, food quality and service is excellent.

Picked Benihana because of the raving reviews, unfortunately my experience was otherwise.

Our family of six reserved a table on a Sunday morning 11am at Benihana's opening time.

3 adults and 2 toddlers arrived but host said she would seat us only after the sixth guest got there. Did not feel welcomed when the whole restaurant was empty.

We ordered Sake flight and Espresso Martin to start. Our chef was very friendly and engaging, he put on a great show for our kids. This wasn't my first hibachi experience, I wondered though if the flame was a bit too much for a chuchu train act. Kids were startled and so was I. (See pictures and videos)

We liked the garlicky fried rice and buttery fried noodles. All protein was cooked to requested doneness but on the salty side. I was sure it's only personal preference and could be adjusted if asked.

Coloring materials were provided for youngsters, kids menu available.

Our server Logan was attentive, she thoughtfully took a printable picture for us to take home, thank you.

Would I revisit? Probably not.

While the service was good, the food was expensive for what you get. I have been to other hibachi restaurants and you see the chef perform a series of tricks and ceremony-like movements, well that wasn't the case here, there were barely any tricks. Each person has to order a whole 4 or 5 course meal, with kids that gets pretty pricey and with a lot of leftover food. I would rather spend the same money at a nice steak house.

Really cool experience, food was great, chef was great. It came out to $200 with tip for two of us (we got the highest items on the menu, with multiple drinks and appetizers etc)

Well worth it.

Went with the kids expecting the typical Benihana service. It was atrocious! The chef didn’t do any tricks for the kids. Customers go to Benihana to see the chefs do the tricks for the kids. This time it was zilch! We had ordered kids meal which comes with Ice Cream. The server conveniently forgot the ice cream and we had to remind her. A total disappointment at the Plano Branch. Wouldn’t recommend to others and wouldn’t go again.

Disappointed that this location does not serve spicy fried rice. Curious why? I have went a few times and was given spicy sauce to “dip” my rice in myself. That is not the same. This time I was flat told they do not serve it. That has been my favorite dish at Benihana. Now I’ll have to call locations before visiting them to ensure they serve it because it is very much still on the menu and my server let me order it but then the chef said it’s not available.

This place was great. Food was amazing, Joseph, our chef, was very nice/funny, he did a great job. Our steak came out a little overcooked and he heard us and fixed it immediately! Bella was our server and she was really sweet! It was my son’s 14th birthday and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was great. When you come ask for both of them!

It’s been a birthday tradition of mine to celebrate my birthday at Benihana for over 20 years. We had a lunch reservation today, and this was the worst birthday experience I’ve had over the years.
Our “server” was less than attentive, but the food was decent.
Because it was a birthday tradition, we did include the celebratory event in our reservation. Again, this is a tradition.
Towards the end of our meal, the restaurant team came to celebrate a birthday at the table next to us, but never acknowledged my birthday. I even made a comment to our “server”, who didn’t seem to care. When I pushed the issue, she asked if I wanted a bowl of ice cream. No, I don’t.
We paid our bill and while exiting the restaurant, I saw a manager. I told him what happened, and he did apologize. He told me my experience was like a broken glass. He can’t change the fact the glass is broken but could try to fix it. His answer was to invite me back and he would “try to take care of me”. I’m standing in front of you NOW, so take care of me NOW, not some future date!
Very poor service! My birthday tradition has come to an end…..
I’m beyond disappointed!!!!!

My daughter and I have made it a tradition to stop by Benihana after each of her doctor’s appointments, so I always expect great customer service. Chef Thla made our meal at Benihana so much fun! He was skilled, friendly, and kept us entertained the whole time. The food was delicious, and his cooking was impressive. My daughter and I really enjoyed our meal.

I wanted to go here but your website doesnt even post prices for anything other than delivery or takeout!!! How am I supposed to plan for meals without knowing price??? Seriously make it clear, post your actual menu. You have a large company website backing, the more confusing you make it the less I want to eat here. I decided to go somewhere else that stated its prices.

Overall 5/5 stars. I would definitely come again, but only for events because it’s very expensive. The food was amazing and very fun to watch. Our cook and server were kind and funny as well. The bathrooms were clean and sanitary. The only thing I didn’t like was that they had put lots of salt on our food, but we probably could’ve asked them to put less.

Would have given more stars, but our team outing experience was just ok. The food was amazing, but the service was not. We expressed a “welcome to the team” & “birthday” celebration and it wasn’t as celebratory as we thought. We had to remind the server of the birthday & they sent out a plastic sauce cup with whipped cream inside and a dripping candle….. not pleased.

Food was good but the manager BRAD Sucks. Kids meals were listed at $12. Received the bill and they were $30 a piece ( had 10 kids). The servers were great and do their job, but as a manager he is terrible.

Very disappointed with our visit to Benihana this time at this location. Food was subpar, cook was definitely not enjoying the job. He was very bland and didn’t engage. Food was not seasoned, shrimp not cooked enough and management sucked! They overbooked blaming it on 2 stations being down due to some remodeling but should’ve known better instead our 7pm reservation ended up being 8pm and management did nothing to make the customers happy they made wait due to their incompetence. We love Benihana’s have traveled to many of them and whenever we know we will be close to one, we always book. We may think twice next time going to the one in Plano again. To pay almost $300 for a family dinner that was subpar and poor service isn’t how we like to spend our money. Shame on the staff and management at this location.
