I went on this site before going to Tokyo Steak House tonight and I went despite a couple bad reviews (I thought the reviews were based on silly reasoning). I can safely say that Tokyo Steak House is an excellent restaurant and there is no need to go to Benihana's for the same food at double the price.
The food was excellent, as was the service, and the show was spectacular! I've been to several different Japanese hibachi restaurants many times, but this was definitely the best presentation I've ever seen. Our chef (I think his name was Henry) was very original with his showmanship and did many tricks besides the cliched ones chefs perform at other restaurants.
It is true that they include gratuity, as someone said before me, but I think this is a plus rather than a negative, because I always tip more than the 15% the restaurant puts on the bill. (I actually added some onto the required tip.) Also, at a hibachi steak house, where you have a chef cooking the food in front of you and you also have an extra waitress or two, it is customary to tip upwards of 20% (remember that the chef and waitresses have to split the tip). Anyhow, my point is that gratuity is not an issue.
Also, they do not charge for fountain drink refills, and their house dressing has been highly reviewed by food critics. They even sell it by the jar!
I feel like several people gave this restaurant an undeserved and inaccurate low rating, and I wish to correct this misconception.
Overall, I am so glad to have discovered such an excellent restaurant and plan on going back often!
Pros: excellent food, great show!
