Benihana Review
The setup in this restaurant chain follows suit with teppanyaki style seating that. One table accommodates up to 8 people with one attending to each table.
The food here is served fresh hot off the grill. You get the best of Asian styled dishes from garlic soup to sweet and delicious sushi.
Recommended menu items here of course come from Japanese cuisine but some items like mignon fillet and chicken and others are also a surprise treat. Their seafood options are also highly notable.
The big downside here is that the wait times are long during peak hours (lunch and dinner). You may have to wait 30 minutes before you can get seated. Service is great and the cooks at each table are very entertaining – great for parties and special events.
