Where to Eat:

Benihana is a restaurant that cooks Japanese cuisine using teppanyaki-style cooking. This style originated after WWII where food is cooked on a propane heated, flat iron griddle. At the restaurant, diners sit in a communal table that surrounds the teppanyaki grill. Skilled chefs cook on these grills in front of guests and make it a fun and theatrical experience. Benihana started out as a family business with its first restaurant in New York. Since then, this iconic restaurant has opened locations in several states within the U.S., in the Caribbean islands, and in South and Central America.
