For the cuisine, the food at Benihana wasn't as greasy as it can typically be. Very little butter and oil seemed to be used on the grill. Although decor and service was on the upper-end, it was fairly standard habatchi and in all honesty, overpriced. "Jimmy" was a mean chef, entertaining us with his throws and catches. This was great since it gave me reason not to converse too much with my arrogant company.

A friend of mine gets a peculiar Benihana craving about once a year or so — “peculiar,” because she can’t stand the “Benihana smell,” which so thoroughly impregnates her clothes that even laundering doesn’t entirely remove it. But she enjoys the theater of hibachi cooks preparing dinner before your eyes, even though the act is entirely predictable FULL REVIEW

Here's Who Goes to Benihana
By Words To Eat By Apr 10, 2005
So the food wasn't bad, exactly. Trowels of garlic butter on everything, which was a little disorienting—I didn't think Japanese food was known for its abundant use of dairy, after all—but it actually tasted pretty good (of course it did; it was smothered in garlic butter). The place itself was a strange combination of airport lounge and theme park, slightly worn and blatantly synthetic. Fourteen hibachi-centered tables, each seating eight, were filled with groups of raucous twentysomethings downing umbrellaed frozen drinks, blonde families clearly on vacation, and Benihana veterans from outer boros wearing white sneakers and thick gold chains. Red-toqued chefs entertained each table with an assortment of tricks using knives, spatulas, and squirt bottles. Clearly they’re all sent to the same clown school, though, since we saw at least four different men (no women chefs here) catch first a piece of shrimp in his shirt pocket, and then an egg on top of his hat.

Who Goes to Benihana?
By Words To Eat By Apr 08, 2005
Tomorrow is S’s birthday. He wants to go to Benihana. At first I thought he must be joking, but no. This is his choice, and it’s his birthday, so to Benihana we’ll go. Who knows, it could be fun. FULL REVIEW
