Teppanyaki style food. If you are into that sort of a thing. Very entertaining chefs make the good at your table. Some so-so sushi, too, to start with. Very flavorful and a good experience to go with friends and hang out and have a good time. more

Love it!

If you have never been to a Benihana's you must! We have been to the San Diego one a few times while we visit we always make reservations. It is fun, the food is absolutely amazing, and the setting is great, not too bright not too dark, a wonderful family place, or date place! more
