Great experience at Benihana today! We arrived right at opening, and the staff was already making sure everything looked perfect. Irma took care of us and was amazing; friendly, attentive, and always checking in. She explained everything clearly and kept our drinks refilled.
Joaquin was our chef, and he made the experience fun with his humor while still being very professional. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly, and the restaurant was clean. We’ll definitely be back!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Benihana! The atmosphere was fun and lively, and everything from the food to the overall experience was fantastic. Elio, our waiter, truly stood out — he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. His service really elevated our time and made everything run smoothly.
From start to finish, the service was excellent and we felt genuinely welcomed. It was a great experience all around, and we’ll definitely be back! ️✨

I’ve been coming to Benihana’s for many many years and I’ve never had an experience like this past experience. James A was a phenomenal chef. The Flavor of the food was outstanding. Extremely personable and outgoing. You can definitely tell he loves what he does. I will be back only if he is cooking. Wow. Thanks James for a great experience.

This restaurant was very loud. So much so that you couldn’t hear anything the chef said.
The food itself was very mediocre. I expected more from a famous chain like Benihana. There are better hibachi places in Sacramento where the chef entertains you and isn’t grumpy.

It is my first time in Benihana. Server Ello & Chef James gave us a comfortable & warm atmosphere to eat & enjoy the meal altogether. If I am to come back next time, I would have to ask to easy on my butter. All in all, it was a great shared experience.

I took my son to celebrate his birthday today, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. When we were seated, a drop of grease fell on me, and the table was greasy. I told a nearby waiter, but he didn’t do anything since it wasn’t his table. Our own waiter, however, resolved it promptly.
Drinks took a long time, even though it was just opening for dinner and the restaurant was nearly empty.
The biggest issue was with the chef. I was seated in front of him, and all the smoke from cooking blew in my face because the exhaust fan wasn’t on. When I asked if it was okay to move, he just said, “I don’t know” and continued working. Later, he served the wrong food because he didn’t account for our new seating. When I tried to order a steak for my son, he told me to go through our waiter, but by the time I did, he had already cleaned the grill and was leaving—again, no communication.
The only positive was the busser, who was attentive and helpful. While I understand there’s a system to follow in the kitchen, better communication and basic customer care would have made a huge difference.
