    Luis was awesome. Food was great, quick, and Luis was appropriately entertaining for our group of adults. We will ask for him in the future.

    This location is horrible. We had a reservation for my wife's birthday with my parents that flew in from Vegas. When we get to restaurant, they can't find the reservation and the manager says he can't get us in and won't honor our reservation. I make this reservation on Open Table l, 2 minutes later, and now they have to give us a table... it take them 30 minutes to get us in and they only us in the lounge (not at the hibachi table). The server is socially awkward (at best) and gives us horrible service (forget to refill any drinks, forgets all of the sides, brings cold food and makes bad jokes). And... after all that, gives us a full priced bill (even though the group seated next to us has half of their bill comped for slow service... and they arrived 20 minutes after us!). Horrible experience. Never again.
    Benihana - Salt Lake City, UTResponded on April 7, 2025
    Thanks for the feedback, Trevor. We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at our Benihana - Salt Lake City, UT location on your wife's birthday. We understand how frustrating it must have been to have a reservation only to find that it wasn't honored. We're also sorry to hear about the service you received. We strive to provide excellent service to all our guests and it's clear we missed the mark during your visit. We're taking your comments into consideration as we work to improve our services. We hope you'll give us another chance to make it right in the future. Sincerely, The Management Team
