Had a great late lunch at Benihana in Monterey this past weekend! The staff was warm, welcoming and attentive, and the food was incredibly flavorful. The experience is always part of the fun—the friendly chef put on an entertaining show with special visual food tricks that brought plenty of smiles to the table. The shrimp appetizer, soup, salad, hibachi chicken (chicken breast and mushrooms grilled with sesame seeds) and chicken fried rice were absolutely delicious, and the green tea ice cream was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. The special sauces are great, too. Took half of the entree home and enjoyed it the next day. Easy parking in the nearby parking lot too. Family friendly, perfect for celebrations and there is even a special elevator to avoid the stairs if needed. Open from Noon to 10 pm – convenient. Highly recommended!

I came in Friday evening around 4:30 because the restaurant offers a happy hour which is weekdays 3-6. My server was Jiselle. She was so attentive and very kind. The food was great and I enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere. Whether your here for the hibachi or happy hour that is only available in the bar section you are bound to have a good time. I was here on veterans day because they offered free hibachi for veterans and I came back today. I will definitely be asking for Jiselle each time I come in!!!

This restaurant cooks on the spot, and the performance is impressive. The vegetables were fresh and the beef was tender and delicious. However, the unfortunate thing is that the surroundings are noisy and bustling. The sound of the chef at the other table performing was heard at the next table, so communication was a bit difficult. And they think you should pay attention to hygiene.

They have a fun birthday celebration which includes a photograph and it’s nice to have food cooked in front of you. Most drinks start at $17+ – I believe the rum pinch bowl was $48. It was not what I was expecting to pay for drinks

I still am shaking my head over this. I was SO excited for this dinner we were celebrating my graduation. Parking was terrible so I sent my mom in to get seated. A few minutes later, I arrived and met Mom in the lobby. The hostess sat us. I was even more excited. 5 minutes passed, then 10. The waitress arrived to take our drink orders. I asked how long until the rest of the table would be seated so we could get started on a fun dinner. Instead, she took our dinner orders and when she left, a server’s helper cleared the rest of the plates off the table. We were left alone for the entire dinner. They stacked the plates at the end of the table and I just stared at the table, certain there was so sort of mix up and trying to figure out what was going on. Soon the chef came to the table and began prepping our dinner. He was great, but it was awkward and sad. After dinner the waitress brought us 3 dishes of ice cream and took 2 photos for us (terrible) She said they both were “no charge.” As if it couldn’t get worse, when I saw my charge for dinner on my Chase debit card, it was $30 more than I had authorized and signed the check for. We tipped in cash, so I knew that wasn’t it. They had actually charged me for the “no charge” items. Never again. I am so beyond disappointed.

Excellent service and food. We had the fillet mignon for $31. You get rice soup, salad shrimp with your grilled meat. They also gave us a scoop of ice cream for free. The Teppan table sits 8 people. If your party is less than that you most likely will have to share a table with other groups. It’s all about the show the chef puts on in preparing your food. I noticed some chefs are more skilled and personable than others. It’s pretty much the same show and food that I remember them putting on 45 yrs ago.

It’s always an enjoyable experience at benihana and I have returned many times however I’ve noticed the food portions changing. Sometimes I get alot of food and other times I feel robbed especially because the prices are very high..maybe it’s the different chefs but still would appreciate better portions. It’s always full at dinner so make sure to make a reservation
