The Edison location has alot of traffic, because of all the activities near by… so they have alot of turnover and business, so the food is fishermen to be fresh… it spent have time to sit and get stale. The food also tasted absolutely amazing. The kids gave it a 10 out of 5 stars. Lol
The customer service was also really good.

I highly recommend the Behinana- Edison location.

Our waiter David was amazing!!! He was very knowledgeable on gluten allergy’s and eased my anxiety about eating there I really want to give him the recognition he deserves because he is a hard worker and gave my family and I a great experience for my moms birthday. The food was delicious and so were the drinks! Such a great experience and would recommend to anyone with allergy’s to eat there! My food was cooked separately in the back and came out when everyones food was done. 10/10 experience 🙂

I give this experience a 2-Star only because of the mocktail, it was good…if not a 1 would come to play!

My fiancé & I haven’t been to Benihanas in years…this was our 1st time at this location & after today I/we were extremely disappointed…the service was nice but what I wasn’t too happy with was the process…upon Sam’s arrival (chef) I noticed the cleaning process on the grill, which I was not the happiest with …old rags that’s aren’t event white anymore along with strands from wear & tear …the gal whom took our order was great …but didn’t specify the soups’ broth was beef (I do not eat red meat nor pork only poultry & seafood) so I gave it to my fiancé & waited on the salad…I specified as I gave her the order.

As the cooking process started the red meat was 1st and shrimp, after it was cooked I would think the grill would be cleaned due to the juices of the red meat still on the grill (nope not cleaned off) the chicken I ordered was thrown on there right after the red meat! I’m like: wait what? Usually it’s cooked on the side separately…Even at a Korean bbq they take off the iron plates & replace them! after all the food was served, the dirty rags made their debute once again, lemon used to clean & the rag along with the dirty water where the rags were laying & marinating (all I kept thinking is if this is a health code violation!?)

I only had the vegetable fried rice & zucchini …even the onions & mushrooms were in that mix of red meat juice! And this because it was paid for if I were there without my partner I would’ve left.

I’m disappointed overall & I know my fiancé wasn’t happy that I wasn’t happy…the Founder of Benihanas would have also been bothered by all the changes to his vision of restaurant(s) from that process to the flavors of the food….I will not return

The food was amazing, always enjoy the show that they put on for you. It’s very clean in this location I like their food. The only problem is it was expensive just for me alone my food and tip was $90.

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my 10-year business anniversary at Benihana, and I have to say ,what started off as a simple dinner turned into an incredibly special experience thanks to a few standout members of the team.

When we first arrived, the service wasn’t what I expected. I expressed a small concern, and that’s when everything changed. Michelle, along with a gentleman who appeared to be a manager (I unfortunately didn’t catch his name), completely turned our evening around. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and warmth were unmatched. They made me feel valued and celebrated , something I’ll never forget. The food, by the way, was also excellent. I wish I remembered the chef’s name, because he did an outstanding job!

What truly set this visit apart was how Michelle handled a situation after we left. I realized I had left my sunglasses at the restaurant and called to check. The first person who answered seemed disinterested and didn’t allow me to finish explaining before dismissing me and hanging up. I was disappointed and decided to call back to speak with a manager ,and I was once again connected with Michelle.

True to form, Michelle didn’t hesitate. She kindly told me to give her a moment, checked herself, and found my sunglasses within minutes. That is what I call real customer service ,not just doing your job, but genuinely caring.

Michelle, Maria, and the kind gentleman who assisted during our dinner deserve all the praise. They turned a rocky start into a night to remember, and I’m so grateful to them for making my 10-year celebration so special. These are the type of individuals who should be running every hospitality team ,they lead with heart, attentiveness, and excellence.

Thank you, Benihana, for having them on your team!

Great place to go for special occasion celebrations as well as everyday. Servers, bartenders and hibachi chefs are attentive and toward the end of the week and weekends, reservations are suggested. Food is great with adequate portions. Pricing is mid-range. Smaller parties can eat in the bar/dining area (especially during weekday lunch/dinner times), if the hibachi experience will take too long.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Benihana for a 44th birthday party! When the waiter came to the table, I ordered soup and salad. When it was time to place my order, I ordered the chicken fried rice with the steak and chicken. The prices have changed since I last went there 5 years ago, so make sure that you check the prices beforehand! You can expect to pay $40 to $75 per person! The kids’ meals start at $20+. I had a great time overall. The chef was female and she was amazing! She was very animated, personable and made the experience an excellent one! She was also very funny and she took pride in making sure that everything was cooked to perfection! Thank you!

Food and location were good and clean. Went in with for the hibachi. The chef only grilled the food and walked away. Nothing like we expected, aside from introducing himself, there was no interaction with us or the kids (family of 5). The manager was kind and welcoming when introducing herself.

We visited Benihana Restaurant in Edison to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday and chose the hibachi experience because we wanted to make the evening special for him.

When placing our order, I informed the waiter that it was my son’s birthday and asked if something special could be done to acknowledge it. Unfortunately, that did not happen. The hibachi chef appeared disengaged and grumpy throughout the meal, with no interaction, celebration, or effort to create a fun atmosphere. We have been to several hibachi restaurants before, and typically the chefs are lively, engaging, and make the experience memorable—especially for a birthday. That was not the case here.

We also ordered dessert, but it was never brought to the table. I had hoped it would come with a candle or some form of birthday acknowledgment, but nothing happened, which was disappointing for a teenager on his birthday.

That said, the food itself was excellent. The quality and taste were very good, and we truly enjoyed the meal from a culinary standpoint. However, hibachi dining is as much about the experience as it is about the food, and in that regard, this visit fell far short.

For the price paid, the overall customer experience was a big disappointment. I believe the restaurant needs to significantly improve its customer service and hibachi engagement. Sadly, we would not return here for a hibachi celebration
