Review of Benihana

This was not one of the best Hibachi places in nyc...

This was not one of the best Hibachi places in nyc by far. The bathroom was disgusting and crowded because there s only two stalls.... and they aren t clean. The seating is 9 people plus to a table and the table fit 7 comfortably so your either touching strangers or tight in your chair! The food has a lack of flavor and taste. It also hurt my stomach the next day. The reason is gets two stars and not one or none is because the people, the host was fairly nice about calling me and confirming my reservation, I got seated within 30 minutes, our waiter was patient, and our cook was friendly. The drinks are watered down, if you think the prices are because their strong, your wrong. I just order shots at some point and it was still watered down. The quality of this place has gone down and I wish I got to experience this place when it was at its best. I believe the friendliness and kindness of this restaurant is to compensate for the bad food, bad atmosphere, bad bathrooms, and just overall bad experience. Also (there s a lot of drunk people and not any diversity other than the staff).
