Benihana's performing chef<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’d also like to wish a happy 45th anniversary to Benihana. First introduced in 1964, Benihana has been one of America’s favorite Japanese restaurants–perfecting the art of “eatertainment” as chefs prepare your meal right in front of your eyes. To celebrate, Benihana is gifting its patrons with a $45 Dinner for Two Anniversary Special (starting today and continuing throughout the year). Diners can expect to taste Benihana’s tender steaks, shrimp, chicken, soup, salad, hibachi vegetables, rice and green tea–and an eye-popping performance by the chefs to boot. Plus, guests can sample cocktails like the Hot Sake Infusion, a mix of hot sake and your choice of apple, strawberry, lychee, passion fruit or raspberry liqueur.<\/p>\n
