It was a great experience, the food taste good and the chef put on a show for us. The vibe there is great. For the price of the food and portion given could be a bit more but you’re paying for the experience and I would do it again.
What I don’t like is tip is added automatically and you can’t split the bill.

Come here for the visuals not the flavors. Everything kinda tastes the same regardless what’s being cooked (they all have the same condiments). The shrimp that came with the set was not very fresh and almost tasted bitter. The drinks were very sugary.
The negatives aside, it’s still fun to see the chefs do tricks and the environment is very lively and seems family friendly. I’d say for the price you can get much better food in New York, but it doesn’t hurt to come here with a big group and have a good time.

Great experience with the family you basically get a meal and a show. Food was ok you also get side salad and a soup in the price of the main course. We dined 4 people and a child for a total of 150$ including tax. Waiter was very pleasant and the chef Daniel was friendly and fun.

I had a good time today.
My server Gideon was nice and efficient, and the chef Haque was nice and courteous, so I enjoyed my visit to Benihana even though I was on my own.

Gross food mediocre seasoning nobody at my table finished their plate and the chef was super quiet no one could hear. I got the Benihana trio (steak, chicken, shrimp fried rice, teriyaki wings) the mango drink was the only thing good

GOOD AND bad… First off the food was amazing!! And the chef was super friendly and entertaining!! His name was Supid.. he was amazing!!! But, our server, Assian (i dont know how to spell, he from Bangladesh) was very off putting! I couldn’t hear him over the excitement from other tables. So I asked him about things. Its my first time so had a couple of questions.. he was like “ I already told u!” “Its here.. on top of menu” in a rude impatient way.. Very short with me. Everyone at our table noticed how off putting he was and committed on it. Tips for him would be patient, smile, and to speak up. And most of all to remember he is in customer service industry. Well thats all! Here are some amazing pics of the chef! Enjoy!

Went for the first time for my birthday.
It was a great experience.
- Excellent food, highly recommend upgrading to fried rice.
- Professional and attentive staff (Mishka was an excellent server)
- Surprise ice cream and family photo.
Thank you Benihana, Milton (Hibachi chef), and Mishka for making my day special.

Show and staff are great but that's about it.
We booked days ahead and still had to wait 40mins for our table (which meant we sat down at 10:10pm).
Food isn't anything special, really. The meat quality is average and the taste isn't anything exceptional or worth remembering.
While our chef was fun and very welcoming (as was the waiting staff), I'm pretty sure the routine is the same so I can't see myself going back.
Overall, a bit disappointed. Unless you're going there just for the IG stories, I'd look elsewhere.
