What People Are Saying About Benihana
Featured Review

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.

Great food but could be much cheaper!
by adamstaller at Citysearch
I love Benihana, even though it is a chain, the food is great and the cooks repeat the routine over and over again, nothing new has happened since the day they opened in SF.
I feel that it could be much cheaper!

Great lunch special
by MelSF , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch
Benihana's food is really great. I especially love their chicken fried rice. It is usually pretty pricey, but if you come here during lunch they have a great deal. For around ~$10 you can get a meat dish, fried rice, soup, and a green tea for dessert. All the deliciousness of Benihana for half the price!
- Pros: Cheap, yummy lunch
- Cons: Expensive for dinner

I had an awesome time at Benihana! We started out with a sushi roll which was very good and then had steak and shrimp it all tasted delicious! The fried rice was the best and the chef was very entertaining. The prices were good and the food good so I definitely recommend it for an entertaining night out!

TOO EXPENSIVE!
by maywe219 at Citysearch
The service was terrific, friendly fun lively chef, waitresses refilling your water every 5 minutes, it was a fun and entertaining experience, but the food was NOT worth it. The sushi was good, but you can get good sushi anywhere. The fried rice was lacking flavor, the entrees were flavorless. All they do is add butter, salt and pepper to EVERYTHING. the food was just WAY too expensive for their lack of flavor, I had to steal the chef's teriyaki sauce secretly while he wasn't looking and add it onto my beef. The chicken had no flavor also, and neither did the teriyaki.
- Pros: Fun, Entertaining, Fast
- Cons: Too Expensive, Food was Bad
