I’ve never eaten at this restaurant before but have heard very encouraging reviews in the past. This location is located in connection to Wyndham Hotel in Little Rock Arkansas. I went during lunchtime and it was very quiet. It took a while to be greeted but no one was at the reception desk. Food was just “ok.” The rice is heard so much about was a bit dry. My chicken and veggies were cooked well however not very seasoned to my taste. The soup was tasty. The waitress made me feel rushed, but that may have just been a cultural barrier. She was still nice. This experience alone wouldn’t warrant a second visit.

You may be wondering why the overall score is lower than the itemized ones. Well, as a plant based person, the options are limited. I went to celebrate a friend birthday and ordered the veggie roll & veggie hibachi (no butter, no egg, light salt). The roll was meh, the hibachi was good but there was not enough of it. The PORTIONS of vegetables were inappropriately small.

Thankfully management came to a conclusion with which we were all happy. Great service.

Food was great! The showmanship of the cooks were too notch. And the speed of service (we did a business lunch) was superb.

Today's lunch consisted of a medium cooked beef, fried rice, shrimp, and a dinner salad with house with ginger dressing. Also served was a order of sushi Crunchyroll.

Sauce offeredh- Yum Yum Sauce
Drink- Unsweet Tea
Refills: Were Offered

The first thing you notice upon entering this restaurant is how much it has aged over the years with needed updates seeming to be forgoten here.

The chef was professional, friendly and efficient..
Upon sitting down at the table, you notice what are now paper napkins that were once made of cloth.

The unsweet tea served could have been served with more ice , but, it was chilled and tasted freshly made.

During the lunch time offerings, no scallops are on the menu, and the fried rice was also lacking mushrooms and broccoli. But, it did have onions and a very small piece of chicken along with a light assortment of zucchini.

The only sauce made available was was yum yum sauce.
The mustard-based sauce that I like is no longer available here. (WHY?) I always thought it paired well with eating steak as the sauce was a bit tart.

The ginger in the house salad was a bit watery today, compared to what I have had here in the past.

Also, soy sauce that use to be made available on both ends of the table was currently only available on one side. I had to make a special request for an extra bottle of Soy Sauce.

No chopsticks were made available or offered during our meal. I also had to ask for a fork as the table was not properly prepared before we were seated.

(No drinks such as sake were offered for purchase.)
(No drink menu was offered for review.)

As I noticed today the service quality of this restaurant is lacking where it was once Superior.

Attention to details seems to be going very much unnoticed here today.

No after meal mint's were made available.

Great food! Excellent customer service! They sing Happy Birthday Birthday! They have a birthday club that gets you $30 off your order. You get soup, salad, vegetables, rice (which can be changed to fried rice) and ice cream with your dinner plate. If you haven't been you must! So delicious ???? ????

I always enjoy the food at Benihana. Our server, David, was very attentive. I mentioned that I have a shellfish allergy; however, the hibachi chef tried to place shrimp on my plate. This may have happened due to a language barrier. Additionally, there was another situation that happened due to another guest at our table having the same allergy, but the manager promptly resolved the problem. My spouse loves their sushi! All in all, I enjoyed myself and I will definitely go there again.

We visited for a birthday dinner (sign up on Benihana and get $30 off your bill during your birthday month!). This Benihana is so consistent with their friendliness, cleanliness, and drive to give everyone a great experience.

A few recommendations for dinners:

1. Ask for Karen as your server and Sasan as your chef, especially if you have kids in your group. Karen will treat you like family, and Sasan does a lot of the little things to make sure the kids are engaged.

2. Don't plan to have a serious conversation. We spend more time watching than talking, and it can get LOUD even if the dining room isn't packed. Several people in my family are not fans of coming here just because of the noise.

3. Don't have a strict schedule right after dinner, like a movie or a party you have to go to at a certain time. Benihana is not a place you can get in and out quickly if you want the full experience. We were there about an hour and forty minutes and things were happening the whole time.

4. Load up on yum yum sauce.

5. Prepare yourself for to-go boxes, especially if you order appetizers; the portions for the main meals are massive.

6. Have fun! Give in to the goofiness. The more you're involved and interested, the more the chefs tend to interact and do more.

This is not a place we go to all the time, but it's excellent as a celebration meal. Highly recommend if you've got a group that enjoys dinner and a show!

No reservations, but wait was short. (Around 10 minutes, at 5:30p). Place was fairly busy. Food was good and plentiful! Staff okay but not out of there way gracious. But no food prep show. There was one small rice heart beat, but nothing else no fire, no fancy egg crack, nothing! Which is not that big of a deal for adult diners but this was my 4 year old granddaughters requested birthday dinner. ????. She and I were very disappointed.
