Benihana Fort Lauderdale Reviews
Great location at the center of Paris, just a few steps ahead to the Louvre Museum. We were sitting at the bar, in front of sushi chefs. The crew was so friendly to foreigners like us. :-). Fresh ingredients, lovely ambiences. Worth visiting.
My kids and i had a great time, the whole team and staff were professional and hospitable. We enjoyed from the meal/drink options, the teppanyaki entertainment and great ambiance. Will definitely come back again. Great job
Benihana Paris was such a fun experience! The chefs were super entertaining, the teppanyaki show was impressive, and the food tasted amazing. Everything was fresh and well-seasoned, especially the steak and shrimp. It’s a great place for a celebration or a night out with friends. Service is super thanks Monir. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it for the atmosphere and experience.
The food was top tier and the atmosphere was delightful. My sister and I were able to walk-in without reservations on Thanksgiving day. What a convenient surprise! Adriana (the Sicilian server) was excellent and the location is a very short walk from The Louvre. Bonus for complimentary coat check and access to public bikes immediately outside of the restaurant.
Very friendly and professional staff. The food is delicious. The sushi, the chicken and the dessert, everything was top notch! Highly recommend!
Great place! Super friendly, nice and professional staff, delicious food, show full of laughter and joy. We truly enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
The restaurant is on a main street a couple blocks from the Louvre Museum. The hostess gave us a warm greeting and we were seated right away on the third floor, where all the Tappan grills are located. The prices were reasonable. Their food was tasty. There are several dishes, depending on the meal that is selected. All the side dishes are prepared on the grill in the center of the table. The portions of food are large. The chef explains. They’re different ingredients and performs with the cooking utensils. Some dishes in a flame of fire. Beer and mixed drinks are available at the grill. There is a special dessert menu. The whole staff of the restaurant a very friendly and warm. There is also a dish jockey playing music that can be heard l lightly throughout the restaurant.
We booked teppanyaki on our last day in Paris, and it was definitely a great choice! We had an amazing time, our chef was making sure we had an awesome experience and very tasty food☺️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Spectacular Private Dining Experience at Benihana Paris 🇫🇷🍣🔥 If you’re looking for something truly special in Paris, Benihana is an absolute must — and the private chef experience upstairs is next-level! 🎩👨🍳✨ From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like VIP guests 🙌🥂. Upstairs, the private dining room felt cozy yet vibrant — perfect for celebrations 🎉🎂 or impressing friends. Our chef? A culinary magician 🪄🍤 — flipping knives, creating fiery onion volcanoes 🔥🧅, and plating dishes with precision. The steak 🥩 melted in our mouths, the seafood 🦐🐟 was perfection, and the fried rice 🍚… pure addiction. The service was flawless 💯, every detail taken care of without rushing us. If you want an unforgettable night in Paris, book the private chef table upstairs at Benihana. It’s not just dinner — it’s a show, a feast, and a memory all in one ❤️🍽️🎭.
It was an amazing experience at Benihana, from sushi to the live chef presentation everything was outstanding For the live chef cooking we had shrimps, fried egged rice, Wagyu beef, all was super delicious, and the art of cooking and presentation of the chef is a totally great experience The price is high, but definitely worth the good service, atmosphere and the amazing quality of food
The best sushi I've ever eaten or will ever eat. The service is very professional. Everything was perfect, thank you. I want to come back to Paris just to eat sushi here. Please try wagyu sushi!!!!
What an amazing sushi experience! From the moment we arrived, the friendly wait staff made us feel welcome. We indulged in a delightful meal of sushi, rice bowls, and a couple of drinks each. While the bill was a bit higher than average, it was entirely expected given the outstanding quality of the food and beverages, the inviting atmosphere, and the attentive service. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
We loved the whole experience and would highly recommend to anyone, especially families! Amazing service, creative and delicious food, entertaining tepannyaki, charming environment, great vibe. Its worth the extra money and great for special celebrations with family or group!
Pleasantly surprised - not just entertaining but delicious food as well. The staff were not only friendly but on the ball. Portions were also more generous than I expected. Would recommend 👍
I've eaten at Benihanas all across the world. This was the best one ever. Clean and neat all throughout the restaurant. An entertaining and very skilled chef. Excellent!
I went there on two separate occasions. Dinner was at the Teppanyaki where a dedicated chef treated us with a display of acrobatic and wielding tricks while cooking dishes to perfection and landing them skillfully in our plate. Lunch was a particularly fascinating sushi concept experience. A couple of chefs jointly prepared a variety in the most novel ways that left me unexpectedly astounded as each piece was more savory than the previous one and uniquely flavored with matched condiments.
Great sushi, Tokyo popcorn must try entree!!! Great music, family restaurant !!
This restaurant really surprised me, top notch food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend to take the cooked grilled dishes and see amazing fires, Thanks to Chef Anaconda, for making us laugh and cooking the best dishes
We have been here quite a few times and this visit didn’t disappoint. The chef did a fantastic job and the waiter was attentive.
The environment is clean and neat. Food is served fast and tastes fresh. The chef Elias is considerable. The experience here is excellent!
From appetizers to sweets,this restaurant well surpassed our expectations. "Chef ANACONDA your such amazing!! Wow!😯😯 Great!! Good job ma men!!!😊😊
Beef and lobster was really good and W chef with the smooth moves type shi
Benihana is consistently good and Paris is np exception. The new style is beautiful, vibe was fun and we will definitely go back!
Elias was amazing!! Made us feel very special and was very informative on the cocktails! Food and service was amazing!
Like this restaurant, sushi, drinks everything was tasty and well prepared. Thank you Elias for such a good service.
Amazing experience! Bring your friends and family to eat the best food, amazing atmosphere, and lovely staff. 10/10
Sushi was delicious, and Elias was very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.
Superb. Great food, great atmosphere and the most entertaining Japanese chef ever 👍
Wow. What a place! Everything amazing. Food. Atmosphere. Staff. Truly amazing. My new favourite restaurant in Paris!
A great chef and tasty food! Perfect for group of friends or families
Amazing diner !!! The food is delicious
Simply the best! Amazing place, super show, super tasty - my son couldn’t stop eating ;)
Chef Kim was amazing! He took his time and made our last dinner we had in Paris such a memorable experience! We got the Benihana Special. From the soup to fried rice to steak and lobster. Everything was just perfect. The steak was made perfectly by him and he seasoned the lobster just right. We definitely will be coming back next time we’re in Paris. Thank you Chef Kim!
I went to this restaurant in December, the service was fire and thanks to Lindsey she was great with us , nice team there !! I’ll come back for sure
I was in Paris on vacation and I went to eat at this restaurant. We were warmly welcomed, and thank you to Lindsey for taking such good care of us.
Spent the night at the teppanyaki floor. The chef was entertaining, the food was good and the service was perfect. Spent arount 80€ for the whole experience. Will come back for sure
One of the top 2 favorite restaurants we visited in Paris. The food was amazingly delicious.
Jesus was amazing, he cooked delicious food and was very nice. He really made our night. Nils was exceptional, we felt like we knew him from before, he is very approachable, and very kind. We got really positive vibes from both of them. The food was great, the staff even better. Definitely recommend!
Great food, great show! We had a lovely time and will be sure to come back for another special occasion.
This was my first visit to Benihana in Paris, and I would like to thank our wonderful waitress, Adriana. She was very sweet and helpful, especially since we were a big group of 10. Even though there was a waiter with a very bad attitude, she masked it with her kindness and professionalism. The food was also very, very delicious! A special thank you to Mr. Michel Abdelnour for his warm and welcoming hospitality—we had an amazing conversation with him. I will definitely visit again, specifically for Mr. Michel and Adriana!
Had a great family supper tonight here (Teppanyaki). Service was really great! I had the the sirloin steak & chicken, my wife had the chicken and shrimp, and my son had chicken teppanyaki. All of the food was awesome and the show was exciting.. the chef really made it especially fun for our 8yo son.
We spent an amazing evening at Benihana Paris, it was my friend’s birthday and we took the teppanyaki menu and paid 170euros for 2 people and it was worth it. The food was great and delicious the alcohol drinks were so good and the most important part was the chef show at our table, the chef was super funny and we laughed and spent a very pleasant evening!! I highly recommend it for a special event!!
Great experience ! Recommended both for the food and the atmosphere with the chef making the show while cooking in front of the customers. The wagyu beef is amazing. And last but not least, many thanks to Sacha for his professionalism while taking care of our table, he deserves recognition for his hard work 👍
Staff was great 10/10! Food was also nice and we liked the place.
Sat at sushi bar with toddler. Food was delicious and fresh, all staff were friendly and accommodating, beautiful interior, clean toilets, had highchair, colouring sheet and pencils.
We were excited to finally find a sushibar that was open on Sunday and even more surprised to see that this was not a regulary sushi restaurant were you get the sushiboat thing, the place was very beautiful, the food precisly sliced and very tasty, the staff was also very friendly and it’s very close to the louvre. We will go back with our kids, they loved it as well (14yr and 11yr) when we are again in paris.
Wonderful experience! Our waiter Marley and chef Anaconda were amazing. Excellent service wonderful entertainment whilst receiving our food. Would definitely recommend, I went with my partner and we had an excellent evening. Thank you!
Amazing restaurant Cocktails are incredible Food and service excellent It was a great experience Thank you 🤍
The InFamous Benihanas teppanyaki showmanship is "well imported"!! True to their nature, you not only get to enjoy a quality meal but also quality chefs: they are warm and welcoming with their unforgettable humour, acting and cooking talents! But since we are in Paris, don't let the french servers deceive your experience and only let the real artists, the chefs, make your meal unforgettable Would definitely recommend!!
Amazing experience at Benhana Paris! Our host Elias took great care of our group. The food was incredible and the ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend!
My husband and I had such a fabulous experience here. The food was amazing, and the service impeccable. Loved the whole vibe as well. Will definitely return!
We visited this restaurant yesterday, and honestly, it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Paris. The location is simply majestic, right in front of the Comédie-Française and just a few steps from the Louvre. The service was impeccable. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable the entire time. The cocktails were wonderful, and the food was simply exceptional. One of the highlights of the evening was the chef, who prepared the dishes right in front of us with all the mastery of Japanese cuisine. Beyond his incredible skill, he radiated such positive energy and kindness that made the experience even more special. It was truly one of the most perfect evenings we’ve ever had in Paris. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
Fabulous moment with my love for a Valentin’s day. Perfect to create great memories 😍 And thank you very much @gribouilletout for the caricature. Thanks to the lovely hostess with the braids for her smile, And all the staff 🥰
We had a wonderful experience at Benihana Paris. The food was fresh and delicious, the chefs were engaging, and the service was warm and attentive. The atmosphere was lively and family-friendly. Definitely a place we would love to visit again.
Magical. Enchanting. Mounir you were very welcoming. And the chef my lord he was great and entertaining. Imagine a spectacle dinner with a skillful samouraï. I’ve always been told that one should never play with food. But here, god ordered it. Thank you forever to have implanted such a memory in our brain. ❤️
Our meal was fantastic and our chef was excellent!!! We popped in for my birthday and they made it so very special! We came here from Texas and we would definitely come back the next time we’re in Paris!!! This is a must do!
It’s really nice to have Benihana conquer Paris, nothing’s missing (including Las Vegas prices hehehe but it’s truly an enjoyable experience.) Only small downside a bit of a long wait to get things started (might be the youth of the establishment.) I would recommend to prefer the second service to be engulfed in the fun energy of the place. Special kudos to Abel, a wonderful “master of teppanyaki”.
Prob one of the best sushi I’ve had in Paris, crispy rice was insane and dragon roll too. Music was very good, cool vibe. They only had one waitress for the whole floor though so it took forever to be served.
i never forget this night nice service,well coming staff and chef are amazing. Benihana Paris delivers well. If you are looking for the best value for money or ultra-refined quiet Japanese cuisine, why not Benihana.
We’re from America, and they made us feel right at home in Paris. The service and vibe were amazing and the food was delicious. This was the first meal my daughter enjoyed on our entire trip. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience at Benihana in Paris. The food was absolutely outstanding, easily a 10 out of 10. Every dish was perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients and the care put into the cooking really stood out. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff were attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is beautiful, warm, and inviting, with a lovely atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy the experience. Everything felt thoughtful and well cared for. Overall, Benihana offers a friendly, refined, and truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back.
We had an amazing experience on Valentine’s Day with Kevin as our chef and Mahmoud as our waiter! The food was delicious and tasty and the show Kevin gave us was one to remember. Alias and Axel looked after us at the bar where we had some drinks after our dinner. Emma was an excellent hostess and made us feel so welcome! We will definitely be returning:)
Desde pequeño siempre me han gustado los Benihana y jamás hubiera pensado que iba a querer ir a uno en Paris, pero me convencieron. Esta nueva ubicación que han abierto ha llegado con todo el gusto necesario para una ciudad como Paris. Es mucho más sofisticado de lo que usualmente son sus restaurantes en USA y la comida es igual de buena. Hicimos el clásico teppanyaki con una botella de sake y nos fue de maravilla.
¡Una elección fantástica! Para salir de lo cotidiano, teniendo en cuenta que no es un restaurante barato pero sabiendo que comerás genial y el trato será excelente. Fuimos con dos niños de 3 y 5 años y los detalles a ellos fueron continuos. La comida excelente y de primera calidad y el show muy llamativo y entretenido. Se preocupaban constantemente camareros y cocinero de que todos los comensales estuviésemos bien y fuese de nuestro agrado la comida. En definitiva, no es para ir todos los días pero sí para darte un capricho de vez en cuando porque te garantizas que disfrutarás comiendo! Gracias a Benihana por el trato!
Lugar muy acogedor, decoración elegante y moderna, ambiente tranquilo y sushi delicioso. Nuestro camarero Elías nos aconsejó y atendió perfectamente toda la comida, muy simpático. Lo mejor el crispy tuna, que no le hice foto, nos lo comimos rápido! Dragón roll, fruta preparada muy fresca y mochis muy ricos
Lo hemos pasado genial y la comida está muy buena. Lo recomiendo completamente. Es una experiencia distinta, merece la pena probarlo.
Estábamos de viaje en París con nuestra hija de 3 años, y en todo momento se mostraron cariñosos y atentos con ella. La comida, por supuesto estaba riquísima y cuidaron de todos los detalles, pero con lo que nosotros nos quedamos fue con el trato cercano y agradable con el que nos acogieron. Especialmente destacamos a Elías, Elise y Khalil, hicieron de la comida un rato buenísimo 🥰
The staff is very professional and friendly. Thank you to our waiter who's very knowledgeable about the menu and has suggested the delicious spicy sauce shrimp tempura ! I ordered the Wagyu (Japanese beef). Our teppanyaki chef Kim put on a great cooking show for us. The meat was good but not as marbled as I expected. It's better that you discuss with the manager at the start which cut you prefer (filet mignon or sirloin) to avoid misunderstanding later. Feb 2026: We came back with a friend from Dubai and everything went smoothly. Our chef Masa put on a fine cooking show and my friend was delighted! The manager Helias was so welcoming our friend felt like a VIP 😉
• Environment: The main highlight is the atmosphere. The chef cooks right in front of you and it’s really fun to watch. • Price: A bit on the high side and portions are relatively small, but worth it for the experience. • Taste: The food is pretty good, fresh and enjoyable.
I visited Benihana on a Monday evening and mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. We shared everything in the middle and started with the California salmon rolls (7/10) and Mango rolls (6/10). The sushi was good, but I was missing the ultimate freshness I usually look for. We also ordered the chicken gyozas, which were average. I’d try the veggie or beef ones next time. Although we wanted to enjoy these starters before the teppanyaki, they ended up arriving as the chef was already serving the main dishes. Each signature Benihana dish includes a miso soup (10/10) and side salad (ginger is 🔥). Honestly, the miso soup was one of the best I’ve had. You also get fried rice (8/10), and the standout among the veggies was the grilled onion (10/10) buttery, garlicky, and delicious. We shared four signature Benihana plates among five people: • Land & Sea (8/10): the filet was tender and better than the faux-filet option • Benihana Delight (7/10): loved the shrimp, and the caramelized chicken had a sweet touch • Rocky’s Choice (7/10) faux filet and mushrooms • Shogun’s Feast (7/10): also included faux filet and shrimp It was a bit hard to keep track of which dish we were being served, and portion clarity could be improved. They have a long list of cocktails so I had two spicy margaritas (7/10 for 16 euros drink). For dessert, we had the Japanese cheesecake, which came with a candle for the birthday. Unfortunately, my friends didn’t enjoy it. The ambience was great: the restaurant is beautiful, and the chefs and staff truly make the experience. Our chef was engaging and entertaining, which made the evening memorable. I would definitely come back, especially with a group of 8 so you can have your own table and chef. Otherwise, you’ll likely be seated with other guests.
Great show, good food. Not cheap, but it was a fun night
The food was incredible. Some of the best I have ever had! However, we arrived and were taken upstairs, sat down and ordered drinks. When we told the waitress that we didn’t want to spend $$$$ on the grilled dishes, we were given a very cold look, and taken downstairs. We weren’t told this on arrival. The waitress was rude, cold and unprofessional. However the waiter we had downstairs was a true gentleman! I’d definitely go back, but never want to see that waitress again.
Food was good ! The teppanyaki chef was very good. The price was quite high but the atmosphere, vibe were worth it.
Okay, so let me give you two takes in one—because I’m an American who grew up with Benihana-style restaurants and I came here with my French bestie who had never experienced anything like this. ⸻ 🇫🇷 From the French POV: If you’re French and new to this kind of restaurant, you’re in for a treat. It’s a full-on interactive dinner where the chef cooks right in front of you—flames, flips, and all. It’s fun, it’s fresh, and it’s definitely not your typical formal French dining vibe. My bestie loved it. The novelty, the show, the communal seating—it felt like something different in the best way. 10/10 for experience. ⸻ 🇺🇸 From the American POV: Now, if you’ve been to Benihana or similar places in the U.S., here’s the real tea: The Good: The show was solid! Our chef was super skilled and cooked everything perfectly. She was fun to watch, and honestly, she nailed the food. Only thing is—she only spoke English, so some of her jokes didn’t fully land with our mostly French table. Still, props to her for keeping it going. The Meh: Let’s talk portion sizes. Whew. I ordered “Rocky’s Choice” (steak + chicken) for €55 and was kinda shocked when I left… still hungry. The rice portion? More like a side dish at a regular Japanese spot. The veggies were tiny. And the pacing? Slow. I like to eat everything together—veggies, rice, meat. But here, it came out in separate stages. So I was basically done with my rice before my protein even hit the plate. ⸻ Final Thoughts: Look, I get it—it’s a new spot still adjusting the American concept to a French crowd. So that deserves them some grace. The food is tasty, the vibe is cool, and the experience is fun. But if you’re used to big portions and faster pacing, maybe grab a little snack before you go. Still, I’d totally recommend it—for the show, for the fun, and for the “wait, we’re really doing this?” energy. Just manage your expectations and don’t show up starving 😅
Translate in French. The food was excellent, the show by the chef was excellent, the table service was excellent. Our reservation was at 7.30 p.m. We arrived at 7.20 and we were told our table would be ready in 10 minutes. So, we waited. We came back in at 7.27. The reservation was for four people, it was just three of us. The lady at reception said, oh, I can't let you in unless there's all of you. We said, okay, one of our friends is late. She's like, how late is he? We didn't know, we checked with him. And while checking with him, she told us, because if he's late more than 15 minutes, I have to cancel your reservation because then he will be late for the show and then I won't be able to guarantee your reservation, so we're going to need to cancel it. So, we're like, uh, okay. In the end, he was only seven minutes late. She took us upstairs, he came. When he came, the lady at reception greeted him, telling him, oh, we've all been waiting for you. And just for the record, the show, as she called it from the chef, started at 8. So, we had a full half an hour before the chef actually came because we ordered starters as well. So, basically, we started this whole Benihana experience with unnecessary pressure put on us by the lady at reception. And another important thing to mention was that the restaurant was empty when we went upstairs and it continued to be empty until around 8. So, while I appreciate the fact that she reinforces the 15-minute policy, I think this could have been done in a more stress-free way and more kind to the customer, which is us. Thank you.
Nice place even if we didn’t get best table with view , it was too much dark in our place , dry nice service with lovely and very professional Adriana , and also very nice fire show cooking from our lady Chef , all was very good from her , but signature sushi’s rolls was so so , too much big and not so tasty …
The food was above average taste. Decent amount of. However, this hibachi/tappanyaki place served each type of food separately. So you didn’t have your chicken or shrimp with the fried rice. And it was a very small portion of fried rice also. Not worth the money, in my opinion.
Rolls were good but Tuna Toro sashimi was very bad and without any taste
Booking through The Fork was simple, and we were happy to see a 30% discount offered on à la carte items. The interior of the restaurant was visually appealing, and we were warmly greeted upon arrival. We were asked whether we preferred to sit at the sushi bar or the teppanyaki tables. Since we intended to have teppanyaki, we chose the latter. Each teppanyaki table seats nine, and it did feel a bit cramped, with limited space between guests. Before placing our order, I specifically asked if the 30% discount applied to the teppanyaki menu, and the chef de rang confirmed that it did — excluding drinks. Our teppanyaki chef, a Filipina, was fantastic. She brought great humor, lively energy, and excellent cooking skills to the experience. She made sure to ask about allergies and reminded us that we could request anything we needed. Her engaging presence was truly the highlight of our lunch. On the other hand, the chirashi and umami roll didn’t quite meet expectations — the rice was overcooked, and the depth of umami flavor was lacking. If you're visiting, it's definitely better to stick with the teppanyaki. Unfortunately, our experience ended on a disappointing note. When the bill arrived, the 30% discount was not applied. The hôtesse explained that the discount only applied to guests seated at the sushi bar, not the teppanyaki tables — something that was never clarified when we chose our seats. We raised the issue, especially since The Fork did not mention any such restriction. Instead of refunding the €120 difference, the manager offered us coupons, attributing the issue to a technical error with The Fork. Overall, while the teppanyaki experience was enjoyable thanks to the chef, the lack of transparency around the discount and the way the situation was handled left a sour aftertaste.
You pay for the show and the ambiance, not the food. Chicken and shrimp may appear bland and basic but you get an interesting show. In lesser developes countries which I've travelled, the show is free and part of what attracts the customers but here, you are really paying for a show. Good to come once but I know not why would someone return unless they truly love the show that much to pay hefty for it.
I rarely complain but this was a dissapointment. Average at best. Let me preface by saying I am a Franchophile, love Paris and visit often. I typically DO NOT eat in an American based establishment but my local friend got reservations here so I obliged. I have eaten at a couple of Benihina locations in the U.S. as they are an institution. I expected the same level of quality across the board and I did not receive that from a country known for their hospitality in the high quality restaurant establishments. First off, my friend made a reservation for the dining room upstairs for the hibachi style, not the sushi restaurant. The hostess stuck us at the sushi area and said there was no availability upstairs. That was a massive disappointment, considering she had an attitude about it. The service was super slow. The young man who was our server did try to comp us with a mochi ice cream at the end because he felt bad. It was dark inside and not a great ambience, however amazing location and I feel they could have done better with the lighting and interior downstairs given we are in the style capital of the world. The fried rice was super dry and the sushi was overly riced---good sushi does not have that thick layer of rice. Furthermore, the only thing good was the edamame, which is pretty hard to mess up. I was SO looking forward to the hibachi upstairs as it is my birthday weekend and I was super let down.
Our large group just had dinner at the Paris location, and the experience was so much worse than any Benihana that we have been to in the states. They had charged our group of 18 for 9 bottles worth 72€ before we even started eating. When I noticed they were using bottled water, which never asked for agreed to, I told them and they apologized. Yet they with charged us for them. We spent almost €1,300 and felt it was in bad taste to charge people for something they didn’t ask for. Manager did nothing about it. Food was bland and uneventful. Could be the fact that Europe has different restrictions for sauces and seasonings. With all the good food in Paris, don’t see a reason to ever go here again.
If you are looking for flavors and high quality ingredients, go on your way… please have a look at my photo, I think it tells all. If you are looking for a teppanyaki live cooking show only, Benihana is for you tho. Our chef did deliver on the show and was very engaging. A shame that Benihana doesn’t give him quality ingredients to cook with!
I would not recommend this restaurant. The service actually deserves less than 1 star. The bar attendant was rude, did not acknowledge my family and I. They were discriminating and disrespectful. The food was awful. I am so disappointed. I am very familiar with the restaurant, however in Paris I would not recommend.
The service here is absolutely terrible and completely ruins the experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was condescending and unprofessional. It only got worse from there. Our drinks arrived after we had already finished eating, which is unacceptable. When we asked for the dessert menu, we waited 15 minutes, only for them to come back and verbally list the options instead of providing a proper menu. For 130 euros (two plates and two cocktails), I expected a far higher standard of service. The food was fine, but certainly not good enough to justify such a dreadful experience. This place is overpriced, overrated, and not worth the hassle. I will definitely not be returning.
My wife and I were really looking forward to dinner at Benihana Paris after a day around the Louvre, but the experience turned into a nightmare. We spent close to 500 for dinner and drinks for two, and within a few hours of leaving the restaurant we both developed severe food poisoning that lasted through the night. It was the only substantial meal we had that day, so the source felt painfully clear. For a place positioning itself as a premium experience, the food quality simply did not match the price point, and the aftermath was frankly unacceptable. At this level, the minimum you expect is safe, properly handled food — not a serious bout of illness. I rarely leave negative reviews, but given the cost and the health impact on both of us, I feel obliged to share this so others can make an informed decision.
The food was very good, the service 0/10. The first problem started with the order. We asked for water, and the waiter refused to take the rest of our drink order but still took away the food menus. Then he disappeared for a few minutes without taking the food order and managed to spill water on the table. We couldn’t get anyone to clean up the spilled water—eventually, a waitress showed up and wiped it off carelessly with a dirty cloth, as if doing us a favor. After the food was served, no one asked if everything tasted good, no one wished us “enjoy your meal,” nothing. When we were leaving the restaurant, no one said “goodbye.” The taste of the food and the atmosphere were completely ruined by the unprofessional, almost deliberately rude and unhelpful service.
