Had to leave due to allowing other people sit at our already reserved packed table. The quality didn't look good, and the hostess was rude. Come here for a community dinner, not a personal one with family and friends.

BEWARE!!! - UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP 👎👎👎 Prices are up but menu is worse We went Saturday August 27, 2022 for a party of 8. Specifically we were there to celebrate a birthday. Service was a bit slow in the beginning but we gave them a pass since they looked busy and my party all had past work experience in food/retail jobs. Our server did not check on us once in the entire time - instead a female busser was kind enough to notice our sodas and drinks were running low. I asked the waiter which wine he would recommend and he said "uhhhh well I'm not really a wine guy..." It doesn't matter if you like wine, you should still know them if you're a waiter and are asked a question or be able to recommend a person that can better assist in that. I was astounded that the waiter completely FORGOT ABOUT SUSHI ORDERS FOR 3 PEOPLE IN OUR PARTY OF 8 but they of course remembered to charge the shared plate fees! The whole point of doing a shared plate is because 1 person wants a little hibachi and to also order sushi. My plate was also taken without being asked if I wanted to take this to go. I had over 1/2 a container of rice left and most of my vegetables. I didn't get my sushi and didn't get my to go bag either.... The real cherry on top is that the server STILL charged a 20% gratuity because we were a party of 8 (he obviously forgot that he forgot to bring us a huge chunk of our order) however I made sure to ask that they remove the gratuity (would have been at least a $60 gratuity based on our bill and it would have been even more had they remembered to place our 6 ORDERS of sushi)! Under this new ownership I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK EVER AND I WILL MAKE SURE TO SPREAD THE WORD OF THE TERRIBLE SERVICE. THIS IS A PLACE MY FAMILY WOULD COME FOR MOST BIRTHDAYS BUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE WE WON'T BE BACK! I plan on letting everyone know especially since I let the manager (woman in tan blouse) what happened and requested she remove the share plate fees since we would have ordered our own hibachi had we known there would be no sushi! She explained that it's a charge when an entree is shared...I was so annoyed at that point we just left because we didn't want to be late for axe throwing P.S. - the hibachi chef was cool, the chefs should definitely be getting more in tips than the useless waiter we had today

No. If you've ever been to Benihana, it's like that.
