Welcome to Benihana, home of the original hibachi experience.

You’ll find us on Camino Del Rio South in Mission Valley, just off Interstate 8 in the heart of San Diego. Dinner here happens right at your table. Your personal chef grills your meal in front of you, slicing, dicing and sending the flames up, with the knife work and tableside showmanship that turns a meal into a night out.

Come with the family, gather the group, or make a real night of it. From the sizzle of the grill to fresh sushi straight from the bar, we’ve been the hibachi spot San Diego keeps coming back to.

  • Sushi Bar
  • Full Bar

Fresh From the Grill

This is where the magic happens. Filet mignon, colossal shrimp, Hokkaido scallops and chicken, all grilled on the teppanyaki right before your eyes. The flames leap, the knives fly, and the whole table leans in.

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

On the grill right now:

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

What We're Pouring

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

There’s our famous, award-winning signature hot sake, poured the way it should be. The house-favorite Benihana Punch. And Rocky’s Margarita, made with 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 Mission Valley

We’re right on Camino Del Rio South in Mission Valley, just off Interstate 8 and in the center of San Diego. That puts us minutes from Hotel Circle, Fashion Valley and Westfield Mission Valley, with valet parking.

Coming from Downtown, Old Town, Hillcrest or North Park? You’re only minutes away, and just about ten from the airport.

However you find us, we’re an easy and memorable stop for hibachi and sushi done right.

Wheelchair accessible. 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. We’ll seat your group around the teppan table, where the chef pulls everyone into the fun, and we’ve got private and semi-private dining rooms for when the party grows.

Get in touch and we’ll take care of the rest.
