Welcome to Benihana, home of the original hibachi experience.

You’ll find us on West 56th Street in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the same street where Rocky Aoki opened the very first Benihana back in 1964. Take the MTA’s F line to the 57th Street station and you’re a block away.

Whether you’re catching dinner before a show, taking a break from shopping on Fifth, treating the team after work, or out with the family for the original hibachi experience, we’ve been the hibachi spot New York has kept coming back to for years.

Features:

  • Private Dining Rooms
  • Sushi Bar
  • Full Bar
  • Wheelchair Accessible

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 way home.

If you’re after hibachi in NYC, 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 Midtown lunch break, a quick team lunch, or a bite before a matinee.

Available Monday through Friday until 3pm.
