Review Benihana - Newport Beach

Oscar our chef and Alana our waitress were WONDERFUL!! My sister and I went in for lunch and we were the only ones at the table in the beginning then another lovely Lady joined our table and soon after a very nice older couple. We all started talking along with Oscar and it was a wonderful time. You would’ve thought we all came together lol. It was the best lunch hour I’ve had in a really long time. Not to mention the steak was literally melting in my mouth. A+ all the way around!! The manager Joshua was super friendly as well, we spoke with him before our meal and he checked on us again after. Great experience!!

Celebrated my birthday and I highly recommend the Seared Tuna. It’s been my fav for a while and never disappoints! Our chef Patrick was great and his jokes were on point. Overall loved the dining experience here, per usual!

The lobster is good. The garlic fried rice is good. The beef is ok because it is tender. I prefer rib eye rather than fillet. The dessert is great. The zucchini and the onions are tasty. The mushroom soup is meh.

My girlfriend and myself ate dinner here and shared a table with a family of four. We had a very good time and the chef was very kind and entertaining while cooking. I really enjoyed the food and thought the quality was up to par for the price. I would come back here and really do recommend getting the shrimp and the lobster.

A must! Wonderful experience! The food is good and the portions are huge! The chefs are very cool and friendly! It is a difficult job and they do their best so you can have fun! Their kitchen plates are good too. We had a great time and highly recommend it!

It's a spectacular cooking show to watch. The dishes are cooked for each person who gets to choose their main protein (beef, chicken, tofu, and fish). It's a 5-course meal with each appetizer being filling and delicious. The chef will cook and "play with your food" as the meal continues. 2 dipping sauces are provided at the start for extra flavor. 1st - Soup, flavorful and light! 2nd - Salad, comes with carrots, onions, and lettuce. Tangy Thousand Island-style dressing. 3rd - Vegetables, grilled zucchini, mushrooms, and onions. 4th - Shrimp, grilled with pepper. 5th - Choice of Rice or upgrade to Chicken Fried Rice. 6th - Main Course 7th - Ice cream or Sorbet (Green Tea, Vanilla, Chocolate, or sorbet). I would highly recommend upgrading to Chicken Fried Rice. It's fresh grilled chopped chicken breast with Egg. If it's your first time in the area or your first time trying Hibachi-style grilling I would highly recommend it. Our waiter was funny and quick with his chopping skills. Each meat was grilled to the correct temperature and seasoned well.

The service & Chef Ramon was the BEST! Chef cleaned the grill everytime & our food came out delicious. We recommend this place, very clean & clean bathrooms. Our wait was 20min. but we were bumped up to wait for 5min. If you come here ask for Chef Ramon & you'll have a wonderful meal with a kind and friendly Chef & service. Thank you.

Benihana is overall a fun way to experience dinner, the food is good but seeing it prepared by a skilled chef is always a fun touch. Though for what you get, the price is way too expensive to be able to justify eating here too often. Even with $30 off for two people, the cost was still about $45 per person.

We had an amazing experience here at this Benihana location! The chef was very funny and entertaining throughout the evening. Drinks were great, meat was perfectly prepared.

First time since I went back (30 yrs) but everything as I remembered. I luv the atmosphere, food, drinks & employees. The chief was so pleasant. Lots of smiling 😊

This was my first time to Benihana. A good friend treated me to dinner for my birthday! The food was great! The chef was a lot of fun and all the staff were fabulous! Service was great! We had dinner in the Teppin Room! I’m looking forward to trying their Tempura on the other side of the restaurant!

The food was delicious. The server and chef were amazing (such wonderful people). The issue was with the reservation system. We made a reservation for 7:30. We were seated at almost 8:30. We were told they were short chefs. Totally understandable....but please relay that. Keep your customers/guests in the loop.

Such a great place for a birthday dinner! Visited this location for my little sisters bday. The chef there was great. Apparently we had the best chef making our food and he didn’t disappoint. The workers Aurelio and Philippe were great and provided wonderful service. Definitely recommend going to this location (Newport, CA) for some fun and bomb food.
