Benihana - Japanese restaurant in Irving - 5400 White Hall St, USA

Wait time upon arrival... No worries. The Benihana dinner experience was worthwhile and worth the wait. The location for the Benihana restaurant I visited is located in Irving, Texas. * The dining experience of having a personalized head table chef cook and serve your fresh dinner selection of exemplary food in front of you while performing chef notable (oh, ah) acts was pretty cool. * And getting to converse with other people at your table you don't know is always a unique experience. * I recommend dining at Benihana for the delicious fresh food and the experience.

Great experience and the we had the luck,honor and privilege to have the Executive Chef to cook our food. The orders were meticulous and tasteful and everyone enjoyed it all. From the interaction with the kids and the people at the table to the orders and making sure they were excellent. Would definitely recommend this place again. Lu was excellent.

I love this place. OMG. This is the best atmosphere and food there is. I always sit at the grill. I love the entertainment and it was my birthday. I didn't get my birthday coupon but I hope they make it right when I do.

My husband took me for my birthday free meal. If you sign up with them you get a $30 voucher toward your meal. I usually spend more than that because you know it is my birthday. Our meals came with a salad that has iceberg lettuce, slivered carrots, purple cabbage and a grape tomato topped with a ginger salad dressing that I love!. You also get a small bowl of soup, mushroom, scallions and fried onions. I don't even like onions but I love this soup. I just give my husband some of the onions if it looks like too much for me. You also can have hot tea with lemon and honey on the side if you wish. Then you get an appetiser of 3 shrimp. As your chef cooks your food he puts on a little show for your entertainment, sometimes you get an egg shell tossed in the air and caught by his chef's hat. Or an onion choo choo train with whistle, or a beating heart of fried rice, which by the way you always want to pay extra for the fried rice, it is the best anywhere. It has chicken, onion, carrots, garlic butter, sesame seeds, soy sauce. Never pass this up! Also never order take out on this because they totally prepare it differently for take out orders and it is not as good. Ok back to the 6 course meal. Your chef will then start your onions and zucchini with soy sauce garlic butter and sesame seeds, yumm. Then comes your protein of choice, I got the shrimp and steak and my husband got the Rocky's Choice of chicken and filet mignon. His steak was so tender and juicy. I wanted to swap but I refrained. I would prefer to have shrimp over chicken. I wish I could get filet mignon and shrimp but oh well. You also get these two bowls of dipping sauces that I adore. One is a ginger sauce and the other is a mustard sauce. You will want to eat these with everything, even the fried rice, trust me. Sooooo good! If you can't eat it all don't worry, just take it home and enjoy it again tomorrow. But wait, save room for ice cream! You get your choice of green tea, vanilla, chocolate, or rainbow sherbet, lemon, lime, and orange. I always get that one. It is always a nice experience to come for my birthday and it makes it just a little more special. Thank you Benihana for all you do.

The hostess sat us at an amazing table tonight!! Our waiter AB & Chef Angel were bothe completely on it with everything!! AB was a champ with our drink orders, and making sure Chef Angel had our correct order which helped him remember who had what. Both of them matched our high energy and were super accommodating to all our demands(and everything else under the sun) 10/10 would recommend.

The chefs are fun. Workers are nice. Drinks are good. But… No where to park. Had to park at the hotel next door. The food is just not worth the price. Worst California roll ever. A random Hispanic woman who speaks no English comes to our table and brings soup and salad for everyone. We asked her what it was for and she didn’t know and passed it out any… we’re assuming it’s complimentary, but in the end they charged us for the soup that no one asked for… the rice in our hibachi was not cooked all the way, literally crunchy. How you can’t do fried rice? And the bathrooms are gross…

Celebrated my birthday!! Best to go online or call and make reservations prior to arrival. We got there, and no customers were there waiting to be seated, but the manager still signed us up for a reservation with text messaging. We had to wait for enough people to be seated for the chef. Everything was cool and entertaining! The staff even gave me a dessert choice and sang happy birthday in English and Japanese! Some chairs and stations were worn down and could use a little updating.

Chef Pedro was amazing! He really tries to make the experience at Benihana truly amazing. He is super funny and the food he cooks is great! I definitely recommend this restaurant, very family friendly. The wait is slightly long but definitely worth it!
