This was a pretty good place of this type. Our chef (I believe his name was Park) was amazing and entertaining throughout. He also gave me more sauce on my meat when it didn’t have enough. The tricks were skillfully done, and the food is comparable to its competitors. Overall a great restaurant

They have a great show, but the food taste all the same. The ingredients are fresh and good, but it taste not great because the limitations of the cook top.

Been to a few teppenyaki restaurants at this point so while I’ve seen most of the chef performances, I did like they made sure the onion ‘volcano’ was red 😂 chef joked with us and didn’t just fill us up on vegetables or rice. They had plenty of ice cream options too. I had to wave for water refills a few times but they always came quickly.

Family dinner here was very enjoyable. We arrived early with reservations so no waiting. Reservations had been made earlier that day. Our server was very attentive. She brought out our drinks promptly and made sure we had water throughout the meal. Our chef Chen was very engaging and made the meal so pleasant. We engaged in quite a bit of conversation with him and he seemed to enjoy that. I had a non alcoholic Mango Coloda which was very yummy! Family members enjoyed their alcoholic drinks as well. The salmon I had was superb!!! Very very fresh and cooked just right. I would definitely return to this establishment if ever I make it back to O'ahu!

Impeccable service. Food quality was fantastic, too. One of our better meals near Waikiki. And let's face it, many area restaurants are just average in the area. This one stood out for sure. My kitchen fried rice and NY steak stood out for quality and flavor.

Great experience today, as always. My family and I went at about 4 p.m. and there was no wait to be seated. Our cook was awesome and our server was outstanding and very attentive. I have been here on many occasions and they never disappoint, even when they are busy. Everything is always cooked to perfection, and everyone is always so friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. It will always be one of my favorites.

Honestly for the price....not sure it was worth it. I usually love Benihana's fried rice but I think this one lacked flavor. My husband ordered the salmon. It came first with nothing else to eat with....the order was kinda odd... I don't think it was really worth the price. They aren't as fun as they used to be...disappointed this last time.
