Benihana Coupons

The first Benihana opened in 1964. The thought of having a chef prepare your meal right at your table was unheard of. Now top that with a great chef performance delivering a quality Japanese meal to you right before your eyes. In 1964 Benihana was only serving one or two guests a day. The Aoki family members worked at other restaurants just to pay the bills. Six months after the restaurant opened an energetic restaurant critic Clementine Paddleford wrote a review in the New York Herald-Tribune and reversed the trend for good. The New Yorkers started flocking to the four-table Benihana and owner Rocky Aoki suddenly found himself in the position of having to turn guests away.

Benihana restaurants feature the Japanese cooking method known as "teppanyaki." They offer everything from mouth-watering steak, tender chicken, succulent seafood and garden-fresh vegetables to a variety of sushi and other Japanese favorites, your meal is prepared fresh and served by a performing chef, right before your eyes. One of the coolest moves is when they cut the tail off the piece of shrimp and flip it into the air and right into their shirt pocket.
