Benihana - Santa Anita (Arcadia) - (Near Arcadia, CA)

5 /5 Genoa Stewart: It was our first time coming. Chef Nathan was attentive, hilarious and entertaining aside frim the good being delicious. Our server, Kristy was on it taking care of our needs promptly. We had a very impressive visit. Thank you all!

5 /5 Tracy Kuan: Ray was our chef. He was really funny, entertaining, and very nice. It was extremely kind and generous of him to be so conscious about my food allergies. He knew exactly how to make my food. It was my girlfriend’s birthday, and he made her extra fried rice because there was only half a bowl left. This is our second time having him and we always thought his jokes were funny. I hope he wins chef of the year!

5 /5 Shawn Sheng: An overall great hibachi experience. You are definitely paying more for the experience and the show, the food itself is good but not worth the price without the accompanying show. The hibachi chefs are very skillful and funny, they know how to put on a show. The food is healthy and tasty, and decent portions. Service is good and the interior is big and clean.

5 /5 Elizabeth C: Definitely an enjoyable experience. The chef was good and we enjoyed his tricks like tossing egg shells into his hat, making a tall fire in an onion, and shaping the food into various hearts or smiley faces. The food was delicious, but just a tad salty. The lunch special was a pretty good deal. For birthdays, they give a free scoop of ice cream and sing a special birthday song. The employees and chefs were courteous and very efficient. I recommend the lunch boat which came with soup, salad, California rolls, tempura, choice of protein, and a bowl of rice (although this set is not cooked by the chef).

4 /5 Diana Rodriguez: My party of 4 had a 7:45 pm reservation on a Saturday night. We werent seated until 9 pm. When my mom asked when we weee gong to be seated, the hostess said that our table was ready, but they were just waiting for the people to leave. So, it wasnt ready. Either way, there should be a time limit - once the check has been received, pay it ASAP and get going, fam. Especially on busy nights. Service was good. The server, whose name I cant remembe, was sweet. She did her best, but she seemed to be a little overwhelmed. Chef Nathan was cool. Funny, but not annoying. Chill. The food is definitely overpriced. Is it tasty? Yes. But not worth the price. Dinner for 4 (including one large Sapporo and a soda) a whopping $307. Yikes. 9 people at the table was tight.
