Welcome to Benihana, home of the original hibachi experience.

You will find us on West Temple in downtown Salt Lake City, directly across from the Salt Palace Convention Center. We are the kind of place where dinner is also a show. Your chef cooks right at your table, with the knife work, the onion volcano and the showmanship Benihana has been famous for since 1964.

Bring the family, gather a group, or make a proper night of it. Whether you are in town for a convention, here to ski, or out in downtown SLC, we are the hibachi spot Salt Lake City keeps coming back to.

What We're Pouring

The grill gets the attention, but the bar holds its own.

Our famous, award-winning signature hot sake, poured the way it should be. Benihana Punch, the house favorite. And Rocky’s Margarita: Altos Plata, yuzu and Grand Marnier, in Traditional, Mango, Passion Fruit or Strawberry.

Must be 21 or older. Availability may vary.

In the heart of downtown Salt Lake City

We are on West Temple in downtown SLC, directly across from the Salt Palace Convention Center and tucked behind the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre. We are within easy walking distance of Temple Square and the Salt Lake Temple, and close to City Creek Center and the rest of downtown.

We are only about 15 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, and a natural stop on the way to or from the ski resorts. That makes us popular year round with tourists, convention goers and skiers alike.

Validated parking is available in the parking structure on West Temple at 200 South.

Open daily for lunch and dinner.

Our professionally trained hibachi chefs know how to light up the grill - and the onion volcano - better than anyone.

Got something to celebrate? We're good at that.

Birthdays are a big one here. So are anniversaries, graduations and team dinners. Benihana Salt Lake City seats groups at communal teppan tables, where the chef pulls the whole table into the fun.

Get in touch and we will take care of the rest.
