    Try the Exotic Mojito! If you have a long wait, sit at the Sushi Bar & start the party early by ordering their Sushi. The Chefs are friendly, entertaining & the food was Delish. I Highly Recommend.

    Order double fried rice & pour a small bowl of mustard sauce on top, and quench your thirst with their amazing passion fruit green tea. Love the filet cooked medium rare accompanied with lobster

    Remember when they ask you if you'd like chicken fried rice or white the fried rice is an additional charge! :)

    The rice with the garlic butter is unreal. A great birthday dinner spot but make a reservation for sure.

    If you're a Benihana newbie, play it safe with the filet mignon. Ask them to cook it in garlic butter, and you can't go wrong :-)

    went here with friends, they got hibachi but im more of a sushi person. food was good and watching the chefs was very cool. very overpriced though imo. if you want sushi go to Octopus down the street!

    Try the seared tuna steak with veggies fried rice miso soup and salad. It's so flavorful and melts in your mouth. Goes well with a good Red Wine.

    Not a great place for vegetarians. Ok cocktails at the bar and a decent happy hour. Mojitos, rum punches, piña coladas all reduced price.

    Worth waiting! Don't agree to sit at the bar or lounge zone, wait for table!

    Shrimp is amazing. For the best steak get it medium. And the lobster and fried rice is the best thing about this place

    Don't plan on having much conversation, especially if you are near loud people whose voices carry. Can't hear a damn thing over the loud noise here.

    Don't bother making reservations... they won't honor them until your entire party arrives.
