My husband and I, and another couple wanted to try this restaurant for dinner in the Mall of America. We arrived a few minutes before the end of their happy hour specials and ordered some items from that menu as well as the regular dinner menu. The server was friendly and explained what the âgummiesâ are and I ordered their most popular version of the drink â a ârainbow gummiâ â that had mixed berries and hibiscus. We shared two orders of salted edamame and spring rolls with an awesome dip that tasted great! I had firecracker sushi with crab and my husband chose quail eggs wrapped in bacon. Our friends liked everything they ordered including miso soup, fried-and-breaded green beans and firecracker sushi without crab.

This place is walking distance from the Embassy Suites hotel where we were staying and so we visited for dinner. Then, after dinner, another couple joined us for drinks there as well.As to the food, I only had the dumpling (pot sticker) appetizer, while my wife had a Maki entree. Both were OK (but nothing special).Drinks were standard and service was pretty decent (as were the prices). But the one thing that I hatedâand that would keep me from ever returningâwere the booth seats that caused me to feel like I was sitting on an airplane with a kid kicking my seat back from behind. In other words, the seat back was so weak that when the people behind me shifted around, it caused me to be bumped-around in my seat. I hate that and would never return to subject myself to it again.

When Benihana first came on the scene, decades ago, it was an amazing restaurant chain. Great food, good service. This past Friday we had a reservation for dinner at 7:30. It was my son's BIG 30 birthday so it was a very special occasion. I made the reservation on Open Table, 7:30, 3 people. My son was adamant that he did not want the hibachi tables but definitely wanted the main, regular dining room. So, when I made the reservation I was sure to put that info in the request box...MAIN DINING ROOM PLEASE! When we arrived 2 minutes before 7:30 the check in person refused to seat us, I questioned that ruling, was told after re asking the question a couple of more times, everyone in the party has to be seated so the chef could prepare everything at once. Well! That was the clue that my instructions had been ignored. Hibachi table requirements. Yikes! At that point I questioned her if she had my request for a main dining room table...eventually another person came over when she saw that there was a problem. I had to repeat my request yet another time...the manager (I assume) then put the blame on the Open Table site saying that on the Benihana computer the request box was cut off. So eventually we did get seated, the server must have been having a rough night, made a few mistakes with the order but was very pleasant. In an hospitality business the greeter always sets the tone of the establishment, which sets the tone of the event. I would have overlooked all of that if....IF the food had been good. I was very disappointed with my meal, as was my wife. Bottom line...very disappointed and will not be returning to this restaurant.We understand this was a special celebration and sincerely apologize that you did not enjoy your recent experience in our restaurant. Please reach out to our team via www.benihanalistens.smg.com/. We would love to follow up with you concerning this visit.

This small, friendly Japanese sushi shop in the Southdale area is a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of this popular shopping area. It's quiet, and you can have a conversation with your table mates and a normal speaking volume. Quite rare these days!But we came here to eat, and found their lunch specials, which include miso soup and 2 rolls, to be tasty and inexpensive.Service was friendly and, with 2 sushi chefs on duty, our order for 5 people came quickly. One member of our party doesn't care for sushi. He ordered the beef fried rice and had to take half of it home.Presentation in a sushi shop is part of the experience and in this category, Nakamori performs well, too.Of all the restaurant choices from which to choose in the Southdale area, Nakamori is a welcome addition. Try it.
