Benihana - Westbury

Prepare for a dining experience unlike any other. Watch as your personal chef performs the ancient art of Teppanyaki. Listen as razor-sharp blades slice through tender steak and juicy chicken. Take in the aroma of sizzling shrimp, lobster and savory vegetables.

Or visit our sushi bar, where your sushi chef will prepare fresh nigiri, sashimi and specialty rolls, all with the same flair that made Benihana a legend in Japanese cuisine.

"The food was ok but our chef didn't put much of a show on. He seemed disinterested. We sat at the end of the table, ordered the most expensive meals at our table, and were shortchanged on our fried rice and the vegetables. Others received much larger portions. The table wasn't even filled and the chef couldn't get it right. On top of it all, they now add an automtatic tip on the check and they didn't even mention it!"

"Good experience overall. Although I've been here a couple of times it was
an excellent experience for the kids. They loved it. I was a little upset that I
Couldn't add salmon to my fried rice, but maybe they'll start letting u add

"My family and I were very disappointed in this Benihana. We have been to the Benihana in Manhattan several times and met new people and had so much fun. Not so in Westbury. Our server was very rude, it was my daughter's birthday she did not receive a hat (nor did her friend who accompanied us). My daughter told him it was her birthday and his response was "okay", not nice at all. The chef was not very good, he did not engage the other guests at our table and did not cater to the children at the table. He pretty much just went through the "script", he even put away the utensils and food and forgot to make dinner for one of the guests. I love Benihana, however, I don't think I will ever visit the Westbury location ever again."

"All was well except: the reservation was made with opentable but once there the reservation wasn't into their system; I had to insist and show them my confirmation email.
No wait time for the table though, only a few min. I would have loved more server attention as it was my birthday and was there with my family. David the chef was good. Very Long wait at the end when ready to pay the check, was left by myself waiting and waiting while my family was waiting outside. Last, it was really hot and we were sweating but we did not mention it to any of their staff."

"We go to Benihana-Westbury alot, I was very disappointed in the service from the manger that night. We were a party of 4, my husband ,16 year old son, 11 year old son and myself the table they went to sit us at was alittle over crowded and I said something to the manger and he said all tables would be the same so we sat at our table with very little space to move. We have a place less then 2 minutes from my house that we go to sometimes, and I must say I regret not going there that night. I have no problem sitting other people, but I would like alittle elbow room and we had none.. I will think twice about going back due to lack of concern from mangement. I did not want a privite table just not one where I was sitting on top of everyone.."

"Nothing spectacular but the food was energetically prepared and tasty. Chef was careful to check the orders per person and got all orders correctly served, despite 3 separate groups seated at one table. Finally found a place that made a spicy tuna roll taste spicy.
Sushi was fresh and appropriately chilled.

"My friend and I went back after our last disappointing visit. As had always been the case prior to that disappointing visit, the food was great. The lunch boat was as it should be, scallions in the teriyaki beef and the right amount of teriyaki sauce on the beef. The only complaint is that the sauce for the tempura still tastes very watered down. They recently brought back the tempura sauce, but they should bring back the tempura sauce they used originally, in the past, prior to this one."

"I was a bit disappointed. I know you have to make a profit, however putting several parties at on table
was just uncomfortable and very tight together having no elbow room. The food was okay. The chef's
were okay, not as entertaining as I've seen in other restaurants. The prices were too high.

"The white rice was very dry.... The chef was not entertaining like the first time I went a couple years ago... The waitress for the table did not provide you with options and was rushing you to give her your order..... Didn't explain the menu.... I paid $100 for a partie of 3 and will not return because of the experience I had this time.... Was truly expecting it to be like my first....poor overall...."

"The cook must have been having a bad day. We dine at Benihana regularly and typically order the same lunch, the beef lunch boat, which comes with soups, salad, teriyaki beef, shrimp and vegetable tempura, half a California roll, edamame, and raw fish which they steam for us. This time, it just was not as good as usual. There was very little teriyaki on the beef and no veggies in the mix. Benihana finally brought back tempura sauce (which they had discontinued a while back), but it tasted like they took the empty bottle of sauce and rinsed it out with water and served it. Even the edamame seem old and wilted. As always, the miso soup, salad, and the California roll were good, and the steamed fish so-so as usual."

"Benihana seats too many people at one table. Not only is it crowded but the chef can't possibly cook the meals in a way that we all eat at the same time. One person is finished with most of their meal before someone else in that party has even started on the main course. Our food was good as was the service, but for the money there are so many better hibachi restaurants in the area."

"What a tremendous difference from the Benihana in Manhasset. This was such an enjoyable experience with an extremely professional and utmost friendly wait staff and even the chef had a very very nice personality. We will definitely make this Benihana as a must go back to again and again. My two grandchildren (9 and 8 years old)were so entertained and loved their food as well."
