So I went to Benihanas again last night. I like their teppanyaki grill, for a chain restaurant, it is quite good and the chef makes an interesting show out of it. Dinner is kind of expensive though, lunch is a better deal. The person I took had never gone and thought it was good also.
 
Lunch is a great deal.
Funny thing about the Benihana's I go to (near SFO), almost all the 'chefs' are Hispanic. They make Hispanic references when cooking. Its definitely entertaining.

Hibachi rice with extra garlic butter, mmmmmmmm
 
I like that place. I went the first day I was a vegan.

The woman said "Big boy like you not eat any meat? You get small!"

 
All you Seattle people, head over to the downtown Benihana's right around 11:30 AM for the BEST SUSHI BUFFET! Weekdays only.

For anyone who lives in the San Jose, CA area, there's a restaurant on corner of Homestead Ave. and Wolfe Rd. called Kingswood Table. It has a menu similar to Benihana, has good food 🙂 and is much, much cheaper.
 
That really spicey stir fry(they give you chili sauce to add) is pretty good. The chefs are all very friendly & informative about how they cook. Overall though, I don't really like the place. A couple family members ordered filet mignon once, & he ended up slicing it into little strips & frying them up. He destroyed a set of perfectly juicy steaks!

Well Benihana is REAL japanese teppanyaki...you do realize it's founder Rocky Aoki is Japanese, plus it's now also in Japan...it may be a little westernized and spiced up with the 'act', but it's not that much different.

A lot of REAL japanese teppanyaki places suck compared to an average Benihana's....also some are better. Just because it's in Japan or ran by a Japanese person doesn't make it spectactular. It's like saying all american steak houses are great. That's hardly the truth but easterner's think that way.

y0 JDM tight, aight.
