Benihana

"First time visiting this location. I visited the bar then the lounge. I love that happy hour lasts until 7pm. Had a chance to order some Appetizers. I will come back for the hibachi tables another time. Looked like a good vibe and all the tables appeared to have fun."

"Had a great time with our chef Nicholas. Spicy chicken is definitely my favorite. Love the chicken in the fried rice too. The passionfruit lemonade was delicious. I enjoyed the soup too but it was only mildly warm. Overall ended up being about $40 a person for lunch with tax and tip. Well worth it."

"Wanted to wait until our second time visiting this location as our first time was close to when they opened their location, and due to a shortage of chefs and servers we were delayed 20 minutes in getting seated despite a reservation. However, during our most recent visit (a week after our first) our party of 9 was seated promptly. On both occasions once we were seated the service was excellent. On our most recent visit on a Saturday for lunch, our server Trish provided amazing service and displayed a lot of patience and kindness with all five of the children in our party. Our chef Nicholas was very entertaining and did a wonderful job with the food. On both occasions my wife started with the lobster roll sushi which is quickly one of her favorite sushi rolls at Benihana. Our hibachi steaks were very tender and juicy, and the shrimp was very plump and grilled to perfection. My favorite Benihana dish is the Splash'n Meadow (hibachi steak and jumbo shrimp), and both times at this location it was just how I liked it! You need to MAKE A RESERVATION to dine here as both times we went, people that tried to dine as walk-ins were not able to be accommodated. You can make a reservation via Open Table or through the Benihana website. Very family friendly with a good selection on their kids' menu. The kids' menu doubles as a paper chef's hat. Both of my boys enjoy the cookies and cream milkshake that they serve here. The prices are a bit high, but in my opinion you get what you pay for here. A very enjoyable and entertaining dining experience that we will be coming back to for future special occasions...very happy to finally have a Benihana in the Temecula area!"
