This place is more about the experience than the food. The food is alright but if you’re a foodie, don’t expect the grandest dishes. However, if you’re out on a date or with a few friends and have a few drinks, this place can definitely be a great vibe. The chefs are hilarious and they pretty much carry the place. They’ll have the whole table laughing and if you’re audacious, the chef will start chucking food into your mouth. Not me though I’m a grown man. Anyway yeah nice night out.

What a disappointment SAVE YOUR MONEY Went there for a birthday. Sitting in the corner with the chef stationary in my elbow. The chef was trying to be amusing but crossing the line very often !! Some comment where not to make and put a family very uncomfortable forgetting we don’t know the people around us! It was VERY embarrassing and so disrespectful! The food, so… if you are sitting on the wrong edge which was apparently ours; the chef starts serving the people from the other side then all along the counter, Add some more to those laughing at his inappropriate jokes. to end up with us and guess what? You are left with half of 1 mushroom, 2 pieces of onions!!! UNACCEPTABLE He mixes everyone’s portion and doesn’t share is equally very annoying when you order mixed plate. The chicken was forgotten on the plancha was dry and hard the birthday girl couldn’t touch is. You pay for it but get not even half of it. And when he saw people were not happy of his mistake, He made a comment in front of everyone “oh I have to be careful because people are going to fight for the quantity” I am sorry I have just ordered £90 for myself and wish to eat what I am paying for! The waiter specify that the side dishes are included (if you are lucky to get some) he offers you steamed or egg fried rice then charges you for the rice. The food had no taste but soya! I mean this is not the restaurant they want to present, it’s ridiculous. 0 customer service 0 welcoming 0 human attention Felt so weird By the time he put all the ingredients, the food is STONE COLD. Not to mention that no one acknowledged that we were celebrating a birthday. The plancha on which they cook is completely destroyed the surface of steal was gone so let me tell you that I appetite was gone !for your health nothing worse! Well overall I was expecting so much more and got nothing I couldn’t eat for £10 elsewhere. (And the price is not the problem here)

I had such a Beautiful valentine dinner here. We was welcomed nicely at the reception, which already set us in a good mood for the evening. We was shown to our table and very quickly our order was taken. I got chicken gyoza for starters, hibachi teriyaki chicken (which came with onion soup, salad and prawns with grilled veg) and a pina colado mocktail. And my partner got hibachi steak and prawns with egg fried rice. The food was absolutely delicious. We Loved it. Our Chef Errol really kept us entertained. He has the funniest jokes and kept us laughing the whole night. Really gave us 5 star experience. The restaurant is beautiful too, and the toilets were really clean, which is always a plus. Loool. Best valentines dinner I’ve had.

Like its counterparts in the States, Benihana charms, but the Chelsea location is by far my favorite! The employees go above and beyond, the chefs are top-notch with their culinary skills and tricks, and they know how to make you feel special on your special occasions with celebration announcements, songs, and cake! The only reason I gave 4 stars is my husband and son being hungry after spending £300! But other than that, a great experience!

Had dinner there with my wife. Sashimi and nigiri were great. We didn't have teppanyaki, but other guests sitting in our station did, and the show was great from Chef Angel. The tables in that area of the restaurant are a bit worn out. Functional, but could get some TLC to get to 5 star tating from us.

Our anniversary celebration at Benihana was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. We were pleasantly surprised with complimentary hats, a delicious cake, and a delightful cocktail drink. Our chef, the talented Chef Errol, not only showcased his culinary expertise but also brought an element of entertainment to our table. His cool tricks and charismatic flair added a unique and enjoyable touch to the dining experience. We found ourselves laughing throughout the entire meal, creating a joyful and celebratory atmosphere. We ordered the Land and Sea as well as the Shogun's Feast, and both dishes were an absolute delight. The flavours were exquisite.

Our waiter billy was incredible, the hostess was welcoming and nice, helping us understand the concept, the food was ok nothing special for the price i expected more however I think you’re paying more for the show than the food itself, it was entertaining and a good experience. The food was fresh but the preparation was a little hasty some of the food did not taste that good due to how it was cooked. The drinks were very good. I highly recommend the Tokyo colada. I think it’s more of a place you would just visit once.

Asked not to be seated with toddlers/babies. Was told it’s ’communal dining’ which I knew having eaten there many times. Maitre d lady just shrugged. So, we left without eating. Not going to pay that much for a meal that would be like sitting in a TGI Friday’s. Benihana needs to be more careful about which groups it seats together.

Venue pour le nouvel an avec de grandes attentes ! Plutôt déçue, la cuisine n’était pas du tout à la hauteur de mes espérances, rapport qualité prix décevant et vraiment trop de bruit. L’ambiance était sympa et voir les cuisiniers devant nous ça fait son petit effet, mais on voit bien que si l’on est une table (6 personnes) constituée d’inconnus, 3 couples, le spectacle mis en place n’est pas le meme. Par contre jolie décoration mais je ne suis pas sûr de le recommander.

The lady on the phone assured me that there will even be a countdown for the new year , unfortunately we were asked to leave at 11:20 pm as the venue was closing and our server told us that such a thing was not happening. Also our booking was at 21:30 pm and the chef start cooking at 22:15 , we couldn't even finish our meal. Used to love benihana chelsea but after this experience definitely won't be returning.

Despite that it is not cheap still, it is good value for money. Food was tasty and consider good for the price you have to pay. Suggest to take up the set menu as it include multiple food in 1 single order, it seems cheaper than picking food individually. Portions are quite large, so the 3 of us went to share 2 set dinner (we are not big eaters). Staff was very friendly and skilful chiefs.

I visited Benihana in Chelsea with my family, and we had an enjoyable experience. The service was solid, and the chef showcased impressive skills, even though there were a couple of moments where tricks didn't quite land – a minor pickiness on my part. The kids were thoroughly engaged, making it a family-friendly choice. Don't miss the Wagyu beef; it's absolutely delicious! Highly recommend, especially for families with small children. Thank you to the kind lady at the check in counter who gave our kids 2 x benihana baseball caps!

UPDATE 2023 - Eaten at both locations in London, Chelsea and Covent Garden, and once again Benihana surpassed our expectations. Will definitely be a constant on our "To Do" list whenever we're in London. Update - September 2022: Found ourselves back in London again & so it was an absolute must to eat here again. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Fabulous...went to celebrate a birthday & it certainly didn't disappoint. Good selection of dishes available, all cooked by the chef right in front of you. The knife skills of the chef were amazing to watch - a real entertainment. Plenty of seating but very popular so booking is definitely needed. Had put birthday as the reason for the meal and at the end of the meal we were presented with a small cake whilst the staff sang Happy Birthday - a lovely gesture. Price range is mid-to high. £160+ for two meals and 3 non-alcoholic drinks.

I’m not sure what happened but this time the food was not great (compared to our last visit to the Mayfair restaurant). The beef was flavourless, the chicken also bland, the egg fried rice slightly burnt. Our chef was great with his friendly nature and smiles and entertainment but the fact we paid over £300 for the food we expected it to be far better quality. For example, the beef was cut into cubes and therefore very chewy and not cut in thin slices as one would expect in Japanese cuisine. I would say however the dim sum and starters in general were divine!

Went there for lunch today with my two boys on our last day in London and to sum it up “this is the best restaurant we’ve ever been to mummy!” The kids loved the drama and the open cooking, our chef Mika was wonderful with them, interacting with them right from the get go and smiling throughout. Service was super fast and we had ordered and eaten within an hour of sitting down. I love Benihana for that reason. It isn’t the best food, I live in Asia so I don’t go there for the cuisine 😂 the fried rice was very salty, so much so we couldn’t finish it, and the meat was a little over cooked. But for the sheer experience and service, it’s 5* from us!!

Hello, I want to share my disappointing experience with this resturent. It all began when I made a reservation to celebrate my partner's birthday. Despite calling and reserving, I never received a confirmation SMS or email, which was a bit concerning but still manageable. When we arrived, we found our name on the list and waited in the lounge. However, when we were led to our table in the dining area, it was unoccupied, so we chose seats in front of the chef. The lady who escorted us was impolite, showing no courtesy or a hint of a smile. She abruptly informed us that we couldn't sit there, insisting that we sit at the side of the table. I asked to speak to the manager, who appeared to be inept at dealing with customers or resolving the situation. He asked us to move because of some vague "might be some people" reasoning. I stood my ground and refused to move, to which he reluctantly agreed. However, he brought another individual who seemed physically imposing and instructed him to encircle us, making us feel uncomfortable and unwanted. This experience left us feeling discriminated against and unwelcome. We were so annoyed and disheartened that we decided not to dine there and promptly left the premises. I cannot comment on the quality of the food, as we didn't reach that stage, but considering the negative experience, I doubt it would have been any better. My appointment was scheduled for 20/10/23 at 18:00, and I have no intention of returning to this establishment. I strongly advise against patronizing this place due to its poor service, racist behavior, and discrimination.

We had a booking for Friday night, we're late 15 mins, no issue. Place was maybe 70% full. Food was good, nothing really extraordinary besides the live cooking, I wish the rice was hot and chicken not so dry by the time it got served. Unfortunately the waitress wasn't really attentive, my glass was empty most of the night. We had a little birthday cake and singing which was sweet, although we thought they forgot as we had to wait for a while after dinner. Although it was a prime restaurant when opened, feels a little tired now. I don't think we'll be returning.

Despite the stellar service it was overall only okay. I’m American living in the UK and had a weird craving for Hibachi. We went on a whim and while some of it was great (the rice) parts were a let down. The fried ice cream tasted old (not fresh) and barely actually fried - it was cakey not crispy. So that was £8 for something we barely touched in the end. There were also a few mixups - we asked not to have shrimp but then it wasn’t communicated to the kitchen and so that was cooked with the food, etc. not a huge deal but little things. As most others have said, the food is ok, but crazy expensive and their website misrepresents theirs prices - the menus online have about £6-7 added to them in reality. The service was great, but I don’t think we’ll be back.

Really great food and the staff were all fantastic. Particularly Alina the hostess, my partner has a very severe nut and seed allergy and issues with soy so eating Asian food out has been impossible. This is the first time we’ve gone for Japanese food together and his first Asian meal in a restaurant in 20 years. Alina was knowledgeable and friendly and we felt totally reassured and at ease that she would be handling it all and the food would be safe to eat. Jojo our chef kept us entertained and engaged and the atmosphere and cocktails are fantastic. Thank you Benihana, we’ll be back

What a shame but over priced, over cooked chicken and no atmosphere, even though our chef tried to make some fun out of the good etc. A little tacky to be honest

Get ready to clean all your clothes afyer dinner. The place is downstairs, without windows and the paddle boxes are not operating properly. The food, especially steak was terrible, we could not eat.

I celebrated my birthday here and was treated extra special. Anne was a top waitress made sure my party enjoyed their experience. I will return again another time. Compliments to the chef also.

I was hoping for a nostalgic walk down Memory Lane, harkening back to my first Benihana experience in NYC in the 80’s. Instead, it felt like nothing had changed and it was therefore, dated and gimmicky. We all love flames and dramatic teppanyaki techniques but our chef must have performed his routine thousands of times. A renovation, staff revitalization, a few modern twists to the menu and Benihana Chelsea could become quite the experience! I recommend the lobster and the hibachi rice (fried with egg & scallion) The chateaubriand was a bit bland.

Overall wasnt pleased with the food or service, food was bland and service was just ok. Had high hopes and this place let me down. Ventilation is a problem, you come out smelling like asian food Will I go again: No Food: 6/10 Service: 7/10 Value for money: 7/10 Price: £200 for two
