Benihana

Benihana is a very fun place to dine, but I have eaten better Japanese food! I took my younger brother here once for the sole reason that it's a fun place and he would likely think it was ‘cool’! Which he did, and we had a real laugh together.

For the unitiated the difference simply is all in the food preparation methods, instead of there being a hidden away kitchen, you watch your food being prepared and cooked in front of you on a large Hibachi Grill. And the chefs do this with gusto and humour!

The menu is limited, I think mainly due to the methods of cooking here, but then you come here for entertainment rather than a gastro experience! You have a choice of either steak, salmon, prawns or seabass etc and then the side dishes are really the same, so rice, vegetables etc. However, the food is very well cooked, tasty and tender and all done wih a smile.

Overall a good experience and well worth it in terms of an entertaining dinner!

Benihana is always good fun, and the staff here are great. The food is cooked in front of you by a chef with a sense of humour, and the quality of the food is first class. Highly recommended, and for the uninitiated totally unlike the usual Japanese restaurant.
