In ShortBenihana started out as a tiny four-table restaurant in New York City's theater district before becoming an international chain. Diners sit around large tables where chefs ostentatiously chop, slice, stir-fry and grill. Entre options are simple--shrimp, chicken, steak and scallops--and preparation is uniform. Every entree comes with a similar stock of sides: green tea, rice, onion soup, shrimp appetizer, iceberg lettuce drizzled with dressing and sauteed vegetables.

The food was great and everyone was nice but the place looks and sounds like a Denny's restaurant. Not a Benihana style at all.
Pros: Great food
Cons: Ambience

I always have a good time when I go here. I do not suggest sitting on the booth side (where they dont cook in front of you) It seems my food is always over done and the rice is sticky. I like my food hot, and whats better than directly off of the grill?! It can be a little difficult to get a spot at a table if you go at peak times... I also suggest going during lunch time, as the food is the same but cheaper!
Pros: Hot, Fun, Interactive, Fresh
Cons: Busy, Noisy, Crowded

The Benihana restaurant in Coral Gables not only had terrible food, but had poor service as well. I found the whole Benihana's experience to be overpriced and terribly underrated. There are so many better restaurants in the Gables, don't waste your time and money on this one.
Pros: Cannot think of any
Cons: Expensive, subpar food, terrible setup, bad service
