                    Group of people having fun at Benihana

Welcome to Benihana, home of the original hibachi experience.

You’ll find us in downtown Milwaukee on N. Plankinton Ave, just off the Riverwalk and steps from the Third Ward, Westown and the Deer District. Here, your meal isn’t just cooked, it’s choreographed. Your personal chef performs the ancient art of teppanyaki right at your table, slicing and dicing your meal before your eyes.

Whether you’re coming in before a game at Fiserv Forum, bringing the family in on a Friday night, treating the team after work, or making a proper night of it downtown, we’ve been the hibachi spot Milwaukee has kept coming back to for years.

Features:

  • Valet Parking during dinner, every day including holidays
  • Communal Hibachi Tables
  • Sushi Bar
  • Wheelchair Accessible

Fresh From the Grill

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

If you’re after hibachi in Milwaukee, you’ve found it.

On the grill right now:

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

Stopping in for lunch? Our weekday lunch runs Monday through Friday, 11:30am to 2pm, with hibachi favorites cooked at your table. A good break from the office, a team lunch downtown, or a bite before heading out.
