What is worth choosing?

For a quintessential Benihana experience, you can't go wrong with their classic hibachi entrees. The Hibachi Steak or Hibachi Chicken are excellent first choices, as they perfectly showcase the chef's skills and the delicious flavor of the food. If you're feeling more adventurous, consider a combination like the Land 'N Sea (tenderloin and scallops) or the Benihana Trio (filet mignon, chicken, and colossal shrimp) to sample a variety of their offerings.

For a great value, especially during the week, be sure to ask about the lunch specials. As noted by a customer review, these deals offer an "amazing" value, often including your choice of entree, soup, salad, and hibachi fried rice for a price that's hard to beat in Midtown. Another highly recommended choice is the Hibachi Fried Rice. The chef's preparation of this simple dish is a highlight of the meal and a fan favorite. Beyond the grill, the sushi menu offers a great way to start your meal with fresh and high-quality options like the Spicy Tuna Roll or the Dragon Roll.

Ultimately, what is most worth choosing is the experience itself. Benihana is not just about the food, but the lively, theatrical, and communal dining atmosphere that makes every visit a fun adventure.

This was a wonderful experience and adventure for our family. My 7 year old loved the show of the chef making the food, telling jokes, and having fun. The service was amazing and the food was stellar. The restaurant was a great environment with a wonderful location.

INCREDIBLE LUNCH SPECIALS!!! $15.95INCREDIBLE LUNCH SPECIALS!!! $19.95I know shrimp and chicken are an option for $15.95And two beef options for $19.95Both include soup or salad, fried rice, veggies and dipping sauces.Everyone at the table must order from this special menu and there is a 45 minutes time limit so you can get back to work. Drinks separate.It's really an amazing deal for a full service lunch in midtown. I mean really amazing! A to go sandwich costs more than $15.95 these days.Probably best to make reservation especially with a few in your group.
