Benihana at Grange Hotel St Paul

Benihana has never taken itself too seriously: in fact, food plays second fiddle to the theatrical antics of showtime hibachi dining as groups gather round hotplates & watch their personal chefs juggling eggs, slicing vegetables at breakneck speed or playing basketball with pieces of shrimp. The culinary possibilities & combinations are almost endless, & everything is based on top-notch ingredients. After waking up your palate with sushi & sashimi, ginger-dressed salad or Japanese onion soup, try a juicy & butter-soft teppan-fried steak, expertly crisped marinated salmon or one of the teriyaki or tempura variations; otherwise blow the budget on a lobster, chateaubriand or Wagyu beef. At lunchtime you can get well fed by opting for one of the bento boxes; otherwise it’s fun & entertainment for all the family.
