If you need a party venue that’s guaranteed to impress your guests, look no further than famous teppanyaki restaurant Benihana in Chelsea. Benihana is famous all over the globe for mixing luxury Japanese cuisine with theatrical cooking, and Benihana Chelsea offers a couple of different options for those looking to hire a venue for private events and parties.
As you might expect from a Benihana restaurant, the interiors are luxuriously styled, with interiors contrasting striking blacks and reds against polished wood and smooth stone. There’s an elegant, streamlined Japanese aesthetic at play here, albeit with modern comforts.
The main restaurant spans two floors, both of which contain a number of Benihana’s iconic horseshoe counters - 20 in total - where a teppanyaki chef cooks skillful dishes on a teppan grill at the centre. Each table accommodates 8-10 guests, and you can hire Benihana along with chefs, making this a completely unique place to host a private dinner celebration.
If you’re planning something big, you can hire the whole restaurant in its entirety for other private events and parties too, with capacity for 140 standing guests across the two floors. Alternatively, Benihana Chelsea also has a small private dining room available to hire separately for up to 12 guests - perfect for an intimate gathering of friends or even for those entertaining clients or colleagues.
If you’re planning on ordering food as part of your event, Benihana offers a separate party menu for large groups to make things easy, with a variety of set options at different price points ranging from Canadian lobster and filet mignon to hibachi chicken and steak with mushrooms. You can discuss more options with Benihana’s experienced events team, who are always happy to take you through all your options as you plan your event.
