Welcome to Benihana, home of the original hibachi experience.

You’ll find us at 9707 Westheimer Road in the Westchase District, right where Westheimer runs east to the Galleria and west to the Energy Corridor. Easy on and off at Beltway 8. Whether you’re coming in for a business lunch, a night out after work, or a proper family dinner with the kids watching the chef in action, we’ve been the hibachi spot west Houston has kept coming back to for decades.

Ask your server about our latest additions: $3, $6, $9 Happy Hour, Taste of Benihana, and Wagyu of the World. There’s always a seasonal special or two on 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.

On the grill right now:

  • Teppanyaki Hibachi
  • Wagyu of the World
