"Johannes (Joe) Server, and Fabian (Chef) were fabulous."

"I had a delightful experience ordering from Benihana through DoorDash. Opting for the Hibachi chicken & steak, the meal truly exceeded expectations. The package included a vibrant and fresh salad adorned with the distinctive ginger dressing, setting the stage for what turned out to be a culinary delight. The Hibachi chicken & steak were cooked to perfection, capturing that unique Benihana flair even through home delivery. The savory aroma filled the air as I eagerly opened the containers, and the first bite confirmed the quality and authenticity of the experience. The meats were tender, well-seasoned, and char-grilled to perfection, showcasing the culinary expertise that Benihana is renowned for. Accompanying the main course was the ever-popular chicken fried rice. Each grain was infused with flavor, and the medley of ingredients created a harmonious blend that complemented the proteins superbly. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring a satisfying and fulfilling dining experience. Beyond the exceptional taste, the attention to detail in the packaging and delivery was commendable. The food arrived in pristine condition, maintaining its freshness and presentation. Even though the setting was my home, the spirit of Benihana's dining experience was beautifully preserved. In conclusion, my DoorDash delivery from Benihana was a grand success. The Hibachi chicken & steak, paired with the delightful salad and chicken fried rice, showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality and flavor. It's a testament to the seamless transition of Benihana's culinary excellence from the restaurant to the home, making for a memorable and enjoyable dining experience."

"My early birthday visit was delightful. Our chef was entertaining and thoughful. The food was outstanding. This place is treasure. I've never been disappointed at the Santa Monica restaurant."

"Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait for a table for about 15 minutes. Because they need to include you at a table. This is understandable, of course. I can say that their pilaf is excellent. I think you should ask for extra garlic butter and soy sauce in your rice. We ordered terayaki chicken, hibachi steak and shrimp. All were perfect."

"First time at this location. As usual, food was amazing, got rocky's choice, pretty much my usual order. Chef prepared food perfect, and had a good show too. It amazes me that as many times as me and the wife have eaten at Benihana, there are still chef's with tricks we haven't seen. Definitely recommend this location. Parking is a little bit tricky, but there is a lot right across the street."
