  If you’re lucky your cook will be the entertainer you were looking for today! The food is ok, I’d say that you come here mainly for the show I’d also recommend that you don’t upgrade for the chicken fried rice, it’s not worth the additional cost at all if you don’t need the extra protein And you have to be prepared for your clothes to reek of the place for days..

  Although the service was good the chef was AMAZING!! We had chef Edwin at our table and he was hilarious and his food was sooo good. My husband is very picky but loved his food. Thank you Edwin for making our night so memorable we will be back !!

  $48.89 per person drew me in. Wine was warm - had to ask for ice. Miso soup was off taste. Shishito peppers not good. Not good at all. Rice in california roll tasted bland - maybe a day old. Or wrong rice and cooked wrong. Spicy Tuna roll - not good at all / actually bad taste. Tuna not spicy and day old. To be fair i dined on a Sunday. Usually not a good day. Note: I’ve been to Tokyo 50-60 times and dine weekly at a top rated sushi place at home. This was not sickening but gross.

  Had an amazing experience today. Our chef Edwin was amazing! The food was so good, he cooked everything to perfection. I’ve been to many Benihanas but never had fried rice like his. Not overly oily or salty but just right. His show was also super funny and he was very personable and made everyone at the table laugh and have a good time. Our server was amazing too I forget her name but she was quick and took very good care of us. She refilled our drinks without even having to ask and made us laugh. She was awesome. If you’re looking for an awesome dinner and show make sure you come to Benihana Westgate! Ask for chef Edwin. You won’t be disappointed

  we had a group of 8 for a 7pm reservation. we weren’t sat until close to 7:15 ish. then, we ordered drinks and sushi which came pretty fast, but after he took our order it took 30 minutes for the chef to come to the table and cook. during our ordering process, half my group ordered hibachi chicken and none of us wanted veggies so we asked for double rice. our waiter explained that we couldn’t get just “fried rice”, we had to get either steamed rice or chicken fried rice. i asked him why would i want chicken fried rice when im already getting hibachi. he was pretty insistent that we couldn’t just get fried rice. fast forward our chef arrives and he was so pleasant! he did fry our rice without any chicken so we did appreciate that. we were all supposed to get double rice, but we all received one single portion. the chef told us he was just doing the order the waiter took down and we understood that. our chef is done at this point, and our server is no where to be found. there was a lot of confusion and miscommunication with him prior to this about our order. it took our server 30 mins after our chef left us to come give us our checks and to go boxes. i think he was avoiding us because he knew we weren’t happy with how our experience here has been. then the checks came, for one person it was almost 85$. my check was correct, he didn’t charge me for the extra rice since i never received it, but the other people in my group were charged. our waiter was confused and looked like he didn’t know what he was talking about. that was frustrating. on top of that, they charge $1 for a tiny behind little cup of yum yum sauce. RIDICULOUS! the atmosphere and restraunt itself was beautiful!! but their food is overpriced and simply decent. will never be coming here again.
