Reviews Benihana

1st time was definitely the charm here. Was so impressed and entertained by our chef. She also performed magic so how awesome was that?..🙌🏾😜 I had a great table with cool, down to earth people, great atmosphere, and definitely great food...

Our chef was amazing, he prepared the food beautifully and deliciously. He had an awesome show. We love this location because of the chefs, the only bad part. Is usually that you have to wait an additional 20 to 30 minutes after your reservation time because they are so busy. As long as you keep that in mind you should have a very pleasant experience in this restaurant.

While my family and I have visited and frequent many Benihana restaurants throughout SoCal, this was our first visit to Santa Monica and it definitely did NOT disappoint! Our chef, Victor was OUTSTANDING! You can tell he’s been there for a minute because he knows just how to cook every dish to perfection! The balance of flavors were just incredible. You might not get all of the standard hoopla and trickery that has become synonymous with a trip to Beni’s, but I would absolutely recommend Victor slaying your food. He’s the best we’ve had in a long while! Great food, great company, and we sat next to a great family we were fortunate to meet who were in town from Kentucky. Perfect pre-Fathers Day evening with my husband and kiddies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such an amazing time every time we go to Benihana! One of our fav spots in Santa Monica for Japanese food. My husband, after spending over 4 years stationed in Japan, ended up developing this addiction for Japanese food, & now I think I'm on the same boat : )..... the Chief here, is always on those little details that make the perfect dinner. Our shrimps, sushi, lobster, all of our dishes are always amazing... the taste, the flavor, the ingredients been used here, you can feel the freshness in your mouth, makes my mouth watery just by thinking about it. The environment is also a plus, the place is clean, fresh, plenty of space to sit & be in private with your friends & family. For all Japanese food lovers out there, this is the place to stop by when you're in Santa Monica. Highly recommended!
