Whether you’re in for business, out with the family, or making a night of it with the kids watching the chef in action, we’ve been the hibachi spot Orange County has kept coming back to for years.

Fresh From the Grill

Our chefs cook right in front of you. Filet mignon, colossal shrimp, Hokkaido scallops, all grilled on the teppanyaki with the kind of showmanship you’ll still be talking about on the drive home.

If you’re after teppanyaki in Newport Beach, you’ve found it.

On the grill right now:

  • Teppanyaki Hibachi
  • Wagyu of the World
  • Sushi & Sashimi

Need lunch? Benihana’s Power Lunch is a full 3-course hibachi meal from just $15.95, served in 45 minutes or less, guaranteed. Or your meal is on us.

Great for a business lunch off Birch Street, a quick bite before a flight, or a team get-together.

Available Monday through Friday until 3pm.
