Was a fantastic experience but be ready to spend a good amount of money to enjoy yourself. Birthday celebration at the end with a cute small piece of cake! We also had Charlie and he was amazing. Most importantly they are disabled friendly with a lift and also there are disabled spaces a 4 minute walk away from here.

Booked here for my birthday dinner and I absolutely loved the experience. The food was really great and our chef Pedro was really entertaining. It is a bit pricey but worth the price and it is indeed a place for celebrations (I lost count how many times the waiters/waitresses sang happy birthday) 🤣 they were really great!

We went out for dinner to celebrate my sister in laws birthday & booked a table on a whim but it was one of the best decisions that we have ever made. The staff were very friendly, polite & entertaining. As difficult as it was, the food was even better. Will defnitely be coming back again, thank you Benihana for our experience today & a special thanks to our waiter "Martin", he was very friendly and full of banter. He also helped to make the experience even better!! The drinks were very nice & not too badly priced, the food was quite expensive but definitely worth the cost!!!

Amazing place! Live cooking at a somewhat affordable price. It is kind of expensive for the common customer but not so much that you would go into debt if you go once in a while hahaha. If I had to say anything bad, I just wished they gave bigger proportions but I had a great time ! So do not let that get you down.

Had such a fun night at Benihana! The food was delicious and our chef was super entertaining, loved the onion train and the egg turning into a chick trick. Service was faultless and super speedy. Food was pricey but with the performance you get I think it's worth it for special occasions. I had the vegetarian option and it was so delicious - they prepare it first to avoid any cross contamination. Thank you for an amazing time!

Fantastic and entertaining in every way. The food was delicious. The staff and the chef were great. Considering we hadn’t been there before they made it very easy to order and there was plenty of food to eat. Safe to say we were all stuffed by the end. Recommend 👌🏼

Haven't been to Benihana since the 90s so thought I'd try it out again. The lunch deal is really good value. Food tasted great and the server and chef were both friendly and entertaining.

The service was effecient from door to seat. Adam our server was excellent, attentive & professional. The chef had great communication skills and prepared exceptional food with fun theatrics. The onion starter soup was also noteworthy. Also ordered were the tempura prawns which were beautiful. We opted for the Benihana special which was meat of quality and prepared to perfection. Over all, nice ambiance and background music - we all had a delightful evening.

Randomly decided to come here whilst in covent gardens and luckily we didn't have to wait too long for a table to be free. The waiter advised us that everything was halal apart from one of the steaks so I chose prawns and steak with egg fried rice. The food was good and the staff were friendly and attentive and the chef was entertaining while we watched the food being prepared 😋🍛

First visit, been to a few similar places, but this one stands out for me. The chef was uber funny, and the food was made to taste, and what a show. Would recommend that you engage with the chefs it would make for a fabulous time with them. No rush service, and they are very attentive. Makes this your next stop. All the facilities are clean, big plus for me.

We’ve been there first time for my wife birthday, the atmosphere was amazing, the chef was very friendly and professional, food was great. Our daughter was very happy, she has tried a lot of new food for her. We are happy and would visit the place again.

Brilliant!! Can't recommend this enough. Had a wonderful time. The chef was very funny and had skills..... Cooking In-front of you, juggling things and catching in his hat 😂. Food was beautiful too!! Best fried rice I've had. You won't be disappointed

This immersive dining experience is a must try!! Our chef put on an entertaining show for us with funny jokes and entertaining tricks! 🔪 The staff were very friendly and attentive. The Hibachi rice was really delicious! However, I found the Hibachi chicken lacked flavour! The menu has a lot of variety including halal & vegetarian options 🌱 The lively ambience makes it a perfect spot to visit for date night or with friends & family for a special occasion 🥰
