Reviews for Benihana in Carlsbad, CA
Great first time experience. It was entertaining to watch them make the food, and there's lots of it. We had reservations at 11... AM and we were the only ones there. Keep in mind that it'll take an hour after your reservation before they start cooking. Theyhave to prepare all the ingredients for the meals before they come out to cook them. Read more
Such a fun time! The food was great and the chef made it really fun. This place is great for people in a new relationship who... may not know what to talk about or people who have been in a relationship for a long time. We fell into the latter. We had afull day at Legoland with our kid and we were super tired. This was a perfect way to end the day with great food and lots ofsmiles. Read more
Took long to be seated, even with reservations, but the food is the best hibachi you can get this side of the Pacific ocean
We went here for my birthday and I enjoyed every minute with our chef Trevor. He was amazing and had us laughing the whole time.... The food was great and the service, outstanding. I will be back again next here and cross my fingers we get Trevor again. Ihighly recommend this restaurant! Read more
A fun experience, but if you don't have a great chief/performer you are paying for high priced food. Food was good .... Performance ok. Read more

A belated birthday dinner. Food was great and served with expect fanfare by our Chef. Like all restaurants short on staff and... only had 2 Chefs for this large restaurant. Our Chef doing 6 days per week and 12 hr shifts. He has my respect for his workethic and skills. Recommend and will go again. Read more
Apathetic wait staff and t.v. dinner quality food, my family was unimpressed with our lackluster visit. Our family loves... teppanyaki-style food and was eagerly anticipating our visit. We were tepidly welcomed and our experience never improved. Thewait staff was un-attentive and failed to provide the quality of service that the exterior/reputation/price would assume wouldfollow. The food was tasteless and our chef seemed to be worn-out and was less than enthusiastic. At our conclusion we spokewith the management whom seemed reluctant to speak with us and was indifferent to our experience, de-valuing our experience andour patronage. Needless to say, we are very un-impressed. Read more
