Reviews for Benihana in Cupertino, CA
We made a reservation and made us wait for over 20min, and another 40min by the time we started eating. The place was very... dirty, the food isn’t great and overpriced the show is better than the actual food. The waitress was very moody and therestrooms in terrible shape, definitely not worthy the visit. Read more
Great food. The Hibachi Supreme was a great choice, the Chateaubriand was outstanding and perfectly cooked medium rare, the... lobster tail was good. Their scallops are excellent. Chocolate icecream and the rainbow sherbet were very good. I will ask formore dressing on the salad next time. The Shrimp Tempura was superb, not oily at all. Very entertaining cooking show. Staffwere very attentive. Some wines were out of stock as was a tequila. We plan to return soon. I see they have a happy hour, needto try it next time. Read more
It’s really good food, though watch out cause the wait is long. Sometimes you have to wait up to 45 minutes after being... seated, even with reservations . Remember to get the fried rice, because it’s insanely good. Also, the courses are really big,even kid meal have soup, rice, some time of beef or sea food, salad, and ice cream. Read more
Even after making the reservation we were asked to wait for around 20 minutes for our seating. Being the vegetarian the options... seemed to be less , so we ordered Cucumber sushi roll,las Vegas roll without salmon,fried rice,yakisoba noodles and Benihanasalad. I loved the appetizers and the drinks was mouthwatering which we ordered was Mai Tai and exotic Mojito. Overall the goodexperience if you don’t mind server cooking veg and non veg on the same table.

We came here for dinner on a Wednesday night because my sister had a birthday coupon. She called because we were a large party... of 8. She was told they were reservation only and the earliest reservation was 8pm. When we arrived it wasn't easy to locate. Wehad to drive around to find the entrance. The parking lot is very narrow and there were only 4 handicap parking spots which werefull. So we had to drop my mom off in front then parked in the middle of the lot. When we checked in we were told there was ashort wait and we had to wait at the bar. We ended up waiting 32 minutes past our reservation. When we were seated and ourwaiter was very friendly and took our orders. He even brought out the soup and salads right away. Everyone got the salmon andscallop dinner but I got the teriyaki chicken dinner. The cook came out and was very friendly and very entertaining. When theplates were complete we realized they didn't give us any of the side sauces or the avocado tartar sauce for the fish. We had toask the waiter and he brought them out for us. It was nice that ice cream also came with the meal. We spent a lot of money evenwith the coupon. Sad to say but due to the drive and the small issues I prefer the house of gengi. Read more
My favorite is the filet minion steak and the fried chicken rice. Awesome experience with chef on your table. Definitely... recommend the experience. The food quality is not the best, but the experience and restaurant vibe are amazing. You will haveyour special chef, it is fun. It is better to go there in a big group. So you can experience the chef on your table. Onions onfire were amazing. Read more
