In Short
Benihana started out as a tiny four-table restaurant in New York City's theater district before becoming an international chain. Diners sit around large tables where chefs ostentatiously chop, slice, stir-fry and grill. Entree options are simple--shrimp, chicken, steak and scallops--and preparation is uniform. Every entree comes with a similar stock of sides: rice, onion soup, shrimp appetizer, iceberg lettuce drizzled with dressing, sauteed vegetables and green tea.

Key Points

  • Personal Teppanyaki Chef
  • Made-from-Scratch Sauces

Great Food and Atmosphere

by Stewart Y.

This Benihand is close to my dad's house - so after passing by it a million times I decided to stop on in the other night. Great selection of food. I got the filet mignon with the scallops. All very good tasting. The price is also reasonable for a nice setting. Parking and service were also good.

Mediocre at best - Had higher expectations, especially for a Benihana

by jwhung

I've been here a few times already and haven't been at all impressed with the food or service. Other Benihana locations had great fresh food, good portions and good service. It seems like this one just took the name and hoped that the quality and the rest of "Benihana-attributes" would follow. The lunch specials are reasonable, but the folks are kind of stingy there. The portions are small, the sushi and rolls don't taste fresh and look clumsily made. And the few things that we really wantedm they were unavailable. This definately won't be a first or even fifth choice for me.

Pros: They give a small cup of you edamame at no charge

Cons: everythinge else
