Benihana

"We visited Benihana - Orlando to celebrate a birthday with a group of 15 people, and overall it was a good experience, with some areas that could improve. The chef’s live cooking show at the table was excellent — definitely the highlight of the night. We were served by a chef from Haiti who was outstanding, very charismatic, and interacted with everyone at the table. He made the celebration feel special and kept the whole group entertained. He was also very careful and attentive with a guest who had a seafood allergy, especially considering that several people at the table ordered seafood. We really appreciated how cautious and professional he was in handling that situation. Considering we were a large party, the seating arrangement and coordination with the two chefs were handled very well. However, the food quality was not the best in my opinion. While everything was nicely presented, I feel the portions — especially the meat portions — could be larger for the price you pay. Overall, it’s a great place if you’re looking for a fun and interactive dining experience for a special occasion, but I think the food quality and portion sizes could be improved to better match the cost."

"My son and I come to Benihana every year on Christmas because hardly any other restaurants are open and I rarely feel like cooking no matter what day it is that being said we have a great time when we come. This was our first time at this location and we had a great time. The only thing I don’t like is sitting so close to everyone. I wish we had a little more space in between chairs. But everything else went great. Chef Jeffrey was a blast. He made everything fun and had a great personality to entertain. I loved when he threw the egg in the air and it landed inside his hat. The restaurant is of course on the noisy side, but that is to be expected when coming here. My chicken fried rice was delicious. My son sushi was also delicious. Thank you for the memories."

"Came here for the Wagyu of the World Experience Six-Course Hibachi Dinner. It was AMAZING! Thank you so much to our lovely waitress, Kendra. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Her positive energy and great service really elevated our dinner. The hibachi chef Billy was absolutely incredible! He was hilarious, kept everyone laughing the entire time, and made the experience so entertaining from start to finish. The jokes, the energy, and the food were all on point. We’ll definitely be back. Hands down one of the best hibachi experiences I’ve had! Thank you so much Benihana :)"
