Have you ever waited all day for a meal just because you knew it'd taste better if you were REALLY hungry? Benihana is like the ultimate satisfaction once you get it eat. The experience starts when you walk in the door. When you visit the steakhouse part of it, you're seated with other random guests if you are in a smaller party. Sometimes you mingle, sometimes you don't. The Japanese cooks prepare your dinner right there on the grill in front of your table. They do tricks with the meal and show off with amazing skills using the utensils. It's a lot cooler than it sounds! They're great for birthdays, dinner parties, special occassions, or "just because." You get a ton of food and it's like constant eating. And a hint: order the chicken fried rice! You won't regret it! It's pricier than the average restaurant, but this is one place I wouldn't mind saving up for at all.
