Have you ever felt the warmth of an onion volcano? Have you heard a master chef in perfect rhythm? Have you ever tasted waves of flavor from our Blue Ocean Punch or seen fried rice that shows plenty of heart? Have you ever taken in the full symphony of scents rising from a 500-degree grill? Sense a crave at Benihana.
More than fifty years ago, BENIHANA® founder Rocky Aoki set out to bring authentic Japanese cuisine to America and offer guests something out of the ordinary: cuisine with an entertaining flair. His vision was clear and the first of its kind. He wanted the food prepared right at the table, “teppan-yaki” style, with theatrical effects performed by highly trained chefs. Starting as a small, four-table restaurant on New York’s West 56th Street in 1964, BENIHANA® quickly paved the way for mainstream Japanese food in America. Today, Benihana Inc. is the nation’s leading operator of Japanese-inspired teppanyaki and sushi restaurants with more than 100 nationwide Benihana, Haru Sushi, RA Sushi and Samurai restaurants. Additionally, 10 franchised Benihana restaurants are operating in the United States, Caribbean, and Central and South America.
