I had never been to Benihana. It was a must do for a tepanyaki fan like myself. There is a bit of hype behind it and I did expect more but the overall experience was good. 1.5hr wait for 2 people and another 45 for the chef. I was hoping more from the chef since I figured they'd be the best around. He was fine but nothing out of the usual for regular tepanyaki goers. Miso soup was best I've had but ginger salad was haarrrible! I know how the rest of the meal will be based on the fried rice. It was good but not great. Rest of meal followed suit. I'd go again with a coupon but there is better tepanyaki out there.
