Have you ever wanted to experience what it’s like to sit amongst your own personal chef that entertains you with Japanese teppanyaki-style cooking tricks on a hibachi table?! At Benihana Japanese Steakhouse, you can!

With a menu comprised of many traditional favourites like steak, chicken, seafood, and fresh vegetables, and of course traditional desserts like green tea ice cream and mango sorbet, Benihana’s is more than a restaurant but an experience!
