Made reservations online after leaving an Astros game. Upon arriving we were greeted and seated fairly quick. The server was... super nice and checked on us frequently as we awaited the cook. The chef was entertaining and talented in his cooking displaythat made it an enjoyable dinner experience. Read more
This location is disgusting and poorly managed. We had a reservation but chose to sit at a regular table. The tables around us... were disgusting, never cleaned off or wiped down. The guests that were waiting for their table were allowed to use this area asa waiting area basically, so there were like 20-50 people standing around our table just talking and waiting for the majority ofour time there, which made eating and enjoying our meal in peace impossible. Our server was covering several stations byhimself, so he was distant, sweaty, and tired. When we finally got our food, there was something weird and fried in my noodlesthat was not a part of my dish, so that’s a little gross. There was mold EVERYWHERE. On the ceilings, in the light fixtures.It was a very chaotic, nerve wracking experience that was not worth the $150 we spent for our meal. The entire experience feltsimilar to going to a fast food restaurant in a college town at 2 AM. I recommend someone from a food inspector business andBenihana corporate get go this location because it was so unpleasant and gross. Read more
Food and preparation were great. The taste of our food was amazing. We had a really good Mojito that was strong and tasty.... Besides our waitress taking forever to come back to our table for minor things. We overall had a great dinner. Read more
Our Chef Julie is the BEST! She had great interaction with the kids, aldults too! It was the kids 1st time here, and they loved... it! Everything was good, fresh, and flavorful!

Great service, great experience with the hibachi chef and server they booth had amazing attitudes, Only reason why I'm giving... it 3 stars is because the food , and drinks, were pricey for what the actually are the quality is just like any other Japaneserestaurant in your local neighborhood. So the stars are for food , drinks , and quality not for the chef, server , or theirservice that they get 5 stars. Read more
I almost didn't go because of the reviews, but I'm glad I did. I had excellent service and the food portions are hearty! The... atmosphere was a very pleasant bonus. Prices are reasonable too. The server Vanessa, took good care of me and was quick. Shechecked in often. The chef for the table service was Elias(I think that how you spell it). He was talented and made the dinner alot of fun. Glad I went Read more
