With a party of four, we got an 8-person table to ourselves, which gave us more elbow room. The waitress was attentive and very nice, but hard to hear above the noise. The chef was disappointing and hardly did any tricks or made any jokes. He just kind of cooked the food and made some pathetic jokes. Our fist visit was so good because the chef worked off any type crowd and handled some very hungry people, who'd been waiting an hour and a half for food. This guy could hardly make the onion volcano! He was not even paying attention, kept looking around the room and over our collective shoulder.
The yakisoba was not good at all! Yuck, blechho sauce poured all over it, and just mostly cabbage. Two orders of yakisoba got one paper thin piece of chicken the size of a saucer between them. Benihana's is trying to save money by handing out itty bitty pieces of chicken? The filet mignon and Hibachi steaks were tiny as well. Ripoff!!!
I just wouldn't recommend it anymore, but maybe it was just the one chef. And don't order the yakisoba. The beef is great, but there's not enough of it. And why take a chance you get the bored chef? Cross it off the list.
