When you first walk into Benihanas the smell of Japanese food hits your nose. You smell all type of different aromas. You hear knives slice and food fry. At Benihanas you have a choice of having your food cooked in front of you or you can sit at the sushi bar. The atmosphere is so cozy. The lights are dimmed its so soothing. When they sit you at the table you set with people you dont know unless your table is a party of six. They are very clean...they clean the knives in front of your and reclean the stove.

Benihana is a Japanese restaurant. They sell steak, chicken, seafood and shushi. As a Japanese tradition they close at 2:30pm and reopen at 5pm for dinner. Benihana is know for cooking infront of their customers and having very skillful chiefs. Every cheif has to know how to do tricks in order to work there.

The food is delicious. They gave me a choice of a soup or salad. The salad isnt that well its has this yucky dressing. However, the soup is great. I ordered a lunch duet with shrimp and steak with a side order of chicken fried rice. My steak was very tender, and my shrimp were very good also. They were marinated in garlic butter and lemons. Benihanas is very big on garlic butter. I absolutely loved my rice. While cooking your food the chiefs does really cool tricks. They make hearts out of the rice, put shrimp shells in their hats, and make volcanoes out of onions.

If anyone ever dines at Benihanas I would recommend the chicken friend rice. If you dont get anything else, you must get the rice. I would also recommend you go for lunch. The lunch menu is half as expensive as the dinner. Lunch rages for $8.50- 10.00 while dinner is $17.50- 45.00. I think everyone should try Benihanas atleast once. Its a really cool experience.
