All U Can Eat Sushi for lunch – I was so sad when Nikko closed its doors...where would I get sushi for lunch, let alone all you can eat sushi at a great value? thank goodness for Benihana. They have a surprising variety for their sushi buffet and it's all fresh... For under $15? That's quite a bargain for sushi lovers like me, who've been known to eat their weight in raw fish and sushi rice!

Totally Cool – Once we got our table (took forever) the experience was well worth it. Scrumptious sea food and beef sautes, and the chef actually flung a shrimp right into my friends mouth. Interactive, entertaining, and delicious, great for a group.

Go with a party of at least 4 then you've got yourselves a good meal. – I have to admit the price was a bit on the high end for the food we had. However, if you like a fun, interactive dinner place, I would recommend friends to visit this place. Quality of the food was excellent, (it only lacked in variety) and chef was entertaining. I'm thinking about going back there for their all-you-can-eat sushi lunch specials. It was definitely worth a visit.

Good – Food was good, service was good, portions were HUGE, prices are a little higher than other Japanese restaurants that I have been to. Unfortunately I did not try the sushi.

Benihana is the best – I visited Benihana last night with a few friends and it was great. Our chef had a pretty green hat, twirled his knife and spatula, and made the coolest volcano out of an onion. The food was really awesome - I had steak and shrimp. Also, they have drinks in cool ceramic muge shaped like the chef. It may be my favorite dining place ever. Two thumbs up for Benihana. KBH

Loved It! – Went for a friend's birthday and had a great time! Lots of fun for groups. Our chef wore a light blue hat and had an incredible laugh. Also saw a young chef with a pink hat at the table next to us that went CRAZY with his utensils and salt and pepper shakers! Steak and seafood was delicious. Enjoyed the sushi too. Service was good and staff was friendly. I will definitely be back.

Don't Waste Your Time – The chefs were apathetic (barely entertaining or engaging in the least). The chef just spit out recited material every so often, while never showing signs of having fun. The serving portions were very small. Unlike most hibachi restaurants, I walked away with an empty stomach. On top of the portion sizes, the prices were exorbitant for what you get. There are A LOT better hibachi places that charge about the same (or less) but have better staff, more energy, and bigger portions. The last time we went ... read more

It doesn't get any better than this... – Oh. OH. The best place ever. The (weekday) lunchtime all-you-can-eat buffet is a steal! Not only is the sushi amazing, the sushi chefs (is that the right term??) are ridiculously pleasant - One in particular has made something of a habit of sending plates of what's he's observed to be our favorites over so that we don't have to wait as another round are prepared. The salmon and unagi, in particular, almost literally melt in your mouth - buttery and perfect. I seriously can't say enoug... read more

Entertaining, but not the best value – I dine at Japanese restaurants quite frequently, so when I heard that the Benihana chain was coming to Troy, I was excited. The food I thought had wonderful portions, I've never seen fresh shrimp so large before, so I was impressed. However, I was dissappointed with the sushi because it seemed too commercialized, which comes with the territory of being a chain restaurant. I would recommend going on Monday-Thursday, because the restaurant is less crowded, so you have the chance of eating... read more
