I went to Benihana's at the Promenade in Downey. The wait wasn't bad at all. We were there to celebrate my nephew's birthday 🎂 and what started out as a group of six grew to a group of 14 while we were waiting for service.

Hitting to the Promenade is easy for me to because I can take side streets to get there and don't have to take the main highways. Yes I'll be doing a lot of shopping at the Downey Promenade. If you haven't been there yet you should check out all the different stores they have. Google it if...
