Reviews for Benihana in Wheeling, IL
Our cook was great at what he does but seemed to not be really that into what he was doing and opted not talk with us during our... lunch. But they have the BEST salad, soup, and tempura. And it was a nice touch when they took our picture at the end and thenquickly printed us out a copy of it with a Benihana paper frame and gave it to us ???? Very nice restaurant. DefinitelyRecommend it for special occasions or large gatherings. Read more
Food was good, about $30 to 50 a plate but they are 5 and 6 course meals. They have good alcoholic tropical and other drink... options which was unexpected. Hibachi show was standard, nothing over the top but if you're looking for a Hibachi style dinneryou can't go wrong with Benihana Read more
Been to a number of similar (hibachi) restaurants and maybe because it was a Monday (early crowd) just didn't impress us.... Lacking the entertainment and shock factor we expected. Suppose this depends on your chef and how engaging they are. The Foodwas amazing, that much butter and prime ingredients what's not to like. Went for a ten year old's birthday, he said he wanted toreturn for his next birthday party. Read more
The chef was amazing, and the food was fantastic, one of my favourite spots to take out my wife for dinner
Overall everything was delicious . I ordered one of the bowls and it had a mosquito. It happens but I actually drank from it .... It was under the flower . I had to swapped for a different cocktail drink . Read more
Fun and delicious. Seafood and meat were fresh and melt in your mouth good. Various menu options that can be ordered... individually. Read more
This is one time life experience. Always had a wish to go to Benihana and finally went for dinner. Griddles with chefs are in... center of the table, there are around 7-8 seatings, which you share with other people. Started with dumplings ( which is made inthe back kitchen like some other stuff, soups, salads, sushi etc.) I didn't care for soup, salad was great, had really tastydressing. Chef was such a showman, playing with knives and fire. Food can't be more fresh and hot than this, served from griddleto your plate. Seafood was just extraordinary, shrimp and lobster were prepaired so simple, yet very tasty. Noodles were alsosomething that I enjoyed a lot, only thing that I wasn't impressed was steak, not really medium rare as I wanted and it neededmore seasoning, but it was fine cut of meat. I'd recommend this place to everyone, just to experience show and live atmosphere,beside that seafood is a must!! The price is way less than what I expected! Chocolate Ice cream also made me feel like happylittle kid. Read more
