Nice Hibachi Spot in the City. The chefs were great and entertaining. It was a great first experience with Hibachi. Would defintely go back if I was in the city and in the mood for Hibachi. This place is great for groups.

Knife-wielding chefs put on a show at this communal Japanese grill.. In Short
Benihana started out as a tiny four-table restaurant in New York City's theater district before becoming an international chain. Diners sit around large tables where chefs ostentatiously chop, slice, stir-fry and grill. Entree options are simple--shrimp, chicken, steak and scallops--and preparation is uniform. Every entree comes with a similar stock of sides: rice, onion soup, shrimp appetizer, iceberg lettuce drizzled with dressing, sauteed vegetables and green tea.

Great if you get a good chef and your primary goal is entertaining children. You don't go to Benihana bacuase you love Japanese food. You don't go to Benihana because you are getting together with a group of friends and you want to go somewhere for tasty bites and a good time. You go to Benihana because you have a group of under 10 year olds and you want to entertain them in a place that has a little more substance than Chuckee Cheese or the Olive Garden. I know that sounds mean and I probably shouldn't be that harsh because the fact is my family and I enjoyed the time we had with our friends there this past Friday. But that was in spite of the fact that the service was shoddy, the chef was boring and the food was at best mediocre. The kids didn't notice though and they could be as loud as they wanted and in the end, I guess that's why these guys are in business.
