    Opened 1971. Japanese hibachi chain in an early ’70s Pagoda-style building in which a chef theatrically prepares food tableside. This was one of the first 6 restaurants in a chain of now over 100.

    Quite an experience :). It's a lot of food! Big kudos for presentation. Fun place to celebrate a bday. Go online to get $30 bday gift certificate - http://profile.benihana.com/registration/

    Older Japanese restaurant but very tasty. About 1 block from Flynt Productions...Penthouse and such XXX videos and magazine.

    Get there a little before six and you can find street parking for free. Valet is $6.50

    Overrated. I knew it! *smh* I've had more tasteful hibachi meals elsewhere for almost half the price... Anyway, if you're also here for cocktails, try Benihana Punch- something sweet but with a kick.

    Get the chicken fried rice with your meal instead of regular rice. Be sure to ask for it or you'll end up with steamed rice.

    Food is Excellent, however this place is sooo damn cramped. No Elbow Room to Eat. Nowhere to sit my purse. I felt like I was in a can of sardines!!

    Bring your own crayons if you're bringing a kid. There kid menu doubles as a coloring / activity book but they don't have any crayons.
