Paying for the Scene. Harry scores Benihana - Burlingame 48/100 for quality and 48/100 on the Worth It scale for Burlingame. One caveat: Google is clapping. Yelp is sulking. Harry split the difference.
The three sources here barely agree on what kind of place this is: Google puts it at 4.3 across 3,636 reviews, Yelp drops it to 2.9 over 2,125, and Tripadvisor splits the difference at 3.5 with a fraction of the volume. That's not noise — it's the usual Benihana pattern, where the tableside-grill theater reads as a good time to the broad Google crowd and as overpriced and gimmicky to the pickier Yelp regulars. #43 of 170 in Burlingame backs that up: solidly mid-pack, not a standout among sit-down options. Go for the show, not for food that'll compete with the rest of the ranking.
