One of my favorite restaurants is Benihana’s and I have nothing against restaurants who try to mimic their flavors. Overall Hibachi Steak House seems less formal then Benihana ( and no I do not think that Benihana’s is formal) but you can tell that this is a favorite among the locals. The Hibachi choices were a bit more diverse than Benihana’s offering salmon and calamari . The soup & salad were just as good as the original but the rice was less favorable and the hibachi was a little more greasy. I would go their again if there wasn’t a Benihanas nearby but with one just a few miles away , why go for an imitator
