Benihana - Japanese restaurant in Lake Buena Vista - 1751 Hotel Plaza Blvd, USA

Great place to enjoy good times We celebrated a birthday and loved the atmosphere. Our cook was a bit delayed but our waiter was onto of things and kept us in the loop. Once there our cook entertained us and made a good meal.

This is definitely the place to go if you want delicious food and a dinner experience. My chef Irene was amazing! They do all the cool tricks and make sure you’re having a fun time. I was in a party of 2 and was slightly nervous to be sat with other people but it was an amazing experience and everyone was extremely nice. 100% recommend especially if you’ve never been!

We had a wonderful dinner in our first time at Benihana. Food was amazing! Casey is super sweet and kind, Eli is an absolutely fantastic one of a kind chef. Also, we had a pleasure to meet Kelli who is incredibly gentle. thank you for making this night memorable for our beloved aunt Maggie.

We were in town for the citrus bowl. We had a reservation at 7:30 and when we got there they said they were about 30 minutes behind and we said that’s okay we understand. About 45 minutes I went to check and they said there was still 4 parties ahead of us. They said if we wanted to sit in the dining room we could be seated in like 10 minutes. I wanted to go for the hibachi cooking experience but I was hungry so we did dining room. Waiter came and got our drink and he was super friendly and nice and explained they were behind. They were out of salads and there was 2 other tables in the dining room. The one table just walked in about 30 minutes after us and the waiter said they had to go to the host stand and they said they just wanted drinks, So he let them stay at the table. They ordered a couple things to share and got their food about 15 minutes before we got ours. We finally got our food around 9:30 or 9:45 and it was lukewarm. It was still good but probably better hot. If it wasn’t for everything I have heard about the food and I have always wanted to go to one we would have left. Overall the waiter was super nice and friendly other staff not so much.

Get another great place! Very busy time of year, but we got in pretty easy! Service was great, cuisine was fabulous!

JUNIOR was THE BEST chef and entertainer. Had us laughing from the moment he came to the table and cooked the food to order perfectly. No one else wanted the mushrooms, so he made the most delicious batch for me to go with my steak! Pricey, but perfect for special occasions. The chicken fried rice up charge is worth it.

Our family’s experience at Benihana was great! The atmosphere of the restaurant was bustling and emphasized the happy customers it has. The supervisor Kelli, was fantastic, they accommodated us even without a reservation, they made sure we were seated soon even though we didn’t have a reservation in advance. We originally had to wait but they were able to get us seated in 10 minutes. If he food was delicious and our chef, Juan was fantastic, very personable and cooked our food perfectly. The staff and chef, Juan, at the restaurant made this a night to remember with great food, do recommend and will be back!
