    My family had a pleasant, memorable experience at Benihana last night! We’ve had dinner here multiple times, but last night was one of our favorites! Our chef, Zane, perfectly cooked our food at a good pace and kept us entertained with his hilarious jokes and impressive tricks. We hope to get him as our chef again the next time we dine here!

    Fun and delicious! Love the no shoe/floor seating, glass partitions which give you and your party a private feel, but most of all the charcoal yakitori. Favs for us are the pork belly, corn, wagyu beef, and the bacon wrapped mochi. Staff was attentive and delightful. Open until 2am so perfect for those late night munchies.

    Our favorite sushi restaurant in the Bay Area—You don’t even have to ask if they have real crab because that’s all they have! They also have Hamachi cheeks, lobster, and O Toro. We also love the hamachi crudo appetizer. The staff are super friendly and efficient.
