Benihana

First time experience in historic Benihana with significant Hibachi style cooking. Food are cooked in front of you and fresh! The chef 👨‍🍳 is very entertaining and shows tricks as well as engaged with guests specially with kids. Loved the hot soup at the beginning and green tea ice cream after food.

Came here with wife for new job celebration. We were the first ones to arrive at lunch, empty seating. Noticed the seats were dirty and can see sticky stains -1. Opening up the menu to more sticky wet pages stuck together -1. I've grown up in the bay area since the 90's and have been to many BenihanaS; according to wife, this is one of the oldest locations with more updated furniture. Our waitress was young but thoughtful and attentive +1. She recommended the Exotic Mojito, great choice. Chef was charming, energetic and playful +1. We got extra food since the other party at our table declined a few items. The view of the serenely beautiful bay was priceless, watching planes lining up for take off while seabirds flew by. Calamari was top notch. Overall a good experience as usual, will bring family/friends back for sure!

Benihana is always a treat, no matter what city or state you're in. The branding automatically signifies Hibachi style cooking. All of the chefs are very entertaining and they enjoy engaging with the guests. The food is freshly prepared and always hot. And they serve the BEST Sherbet after dinner.

This place has heritage and history. Been in bay for a long time. Lot of parking available. You probably better off going with a group so you can have a table to yourself. The chef tricks are amazing and are very popular especially with kids. Sushi was very tasty. The view was amazing and the windows overlook the bay shores and the sfo airport. Staff is very friendly. The only downside is this place is very expensive. So be prepared to look at an expensive menu. Food quality was amazing but 5 stars for ambience and views.

Me and my girlfriend went here as we were craving hibachi. Overall very good experience. I’ve been to two other hibachis one in Phoenix Arizona and one in Syracuse NY. So far this was the best one. The guy that did our hibachi was hilarious and drew a chicken from one of the eggs. Highly recommend! 👍🏻
