You really need to make a reservation, especially during the weekend. The peoplecat the front are pretty rude and love rolling thier eyes I noticed on my hour wait. Once they are no longer involved, it's a great experience. The food is amazing even though my steak was well done and I asked for medium it was still amazing. The chef was involved and funny. So don't let reception ruin your night just try to get a reservation if possible
We love it...but since we come like need check the air fan extractor...and of course ...put some more illumination and color to the exterior cause my first-time visit with people out of the state than they don't k own the area it was difficult find it...so from the bottom from our hearts guys ♥️...could you please help us out with this...blessings and see you soon.👈👍
I had my birthday dinner here. We had a reservation but couldn't be seated until everyone was present. It was very crowded on a Saturday evening. For two people with no alcoholic beverages, be prepared to spend $100. The staff was nice and attentive. The show was okay, but nothing you haven't seen before. The kids love it!! On your birthday they give you a free ice cream dessert and a picture.
Reason for visiting: early Father's day dinner
Date/time of visit: Saturday, ~7:30 PM
Parking: valet, $6.50; free if you can find street parking
Party size: 6, including 2 kids
Environment/ambience: pretty busy and loud. Recommendations are recommended; not sure if they take walk-ins. Not many TVs around; Bathroom was clean.
Service: chef was pretty cool.. got the "pumping heart" show with the fried rice and the "choo choo" train thingamajig with the onions 😀 Staff was friendly and came around often.
Food: I went with the deluxe treat, filet and lobster tail 😀 with fried rice (extra egg). Also had the Benihana punch. Steak was cooked medium and fried rice was good. there was so much that I had lunch the next day too 😀 Miso soup was good too.
Cost: $540 with tip.
The food was very good and the best part of the experience is that the food is served hot, except for the soup, which was served warm. However, the air conditioning at our table was severely chill and we had to wear sweaters and jackets, which diminished the enjoyment of the night. The prices are too high to be concerned about staying warm.
It's always a bit too loud but you go for the show and the food. This has never been a romantic dinner place. The chefs entertain while they prepare your delicious meal and with the birthday discount you save $30 off the total bill, providing you order a 2nd entree. The food is always worth it and all the staff work hard to ensure you are entertained and fed well.
Overall decently clean. Food was okay and portion sizes were good. Bar happy hour from 4-7 is a great place to start with drink and apps discounted. The ginger salad dressing was real watered down and lacking flavor. Service was good, but for the price food could be better. Also 6$ valet parking.
Chef Justin is the BEST. We request him every time we go. Which is pretty often. Because Chef Justin is the best.
Good food quality and big serving sizes. Dinner with a built in show. What's not to like?
This establishment is a landmark structure that has been here for years. The staff is efficient and professional.
Food is better when you eat at the restaurant. You pay for the show and the friendliness of the chef. It’s a long standing tradition to go here for our birthdays.
I almost always get Rocky’s Choice, and ‘yes’ I got it tonight. My hubby got the Splash n’ Meadow (steak and colossal shrimp). Both are 6 course meals including soup, salad, rice, shrimp appetizer, veggies, ice cream or sherbet. Hot green tea is also complimentary (See pics). 5 course meals don’t include the dessert.
TIP: 1) Happy Hour is from 3-7pm at this location and only at the bar. You can get the Benihana award winning sake large for $5 (normally $11).
2) Parking on street next to restaurant after 7pm is free or across the street before 7pm (see the pic
3) Sign up on website for birthday coupon worth $30. Read the fine print.
