Step into Benihana, a teppanyaki haven located in downtown Salt Lake City. This vibrant Asian steakhouse offers a unique dining experience where talented chefs prepare delicious dishes right before your eyes in a lively atmosphere.

Reviews

Went to Benihana for lunch and we enjoyed our experience.
However, I definitely understand the concerns of other reviewers.
My husband and I walked there since it’s only a block away from his office but there’s definitely a lack of parking signs for it.
It’s also hidden so you really need to pay attention. The outside of the building is beautiful but the inside is outdated.
I understand it’s an old building but some interior updates would do wonders! Since we arrived right at 11am when they opened, we were the only diners the whole time.
It was great! Our cook was entertaining and my filet mignon was cooked perfectly! We enjoyed the sushi platter and spicy chicken gyoza and chicken rice as well.
I didn’t get a picture of our entrees because I was enjoying it too much.
Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves.
I’ve been to many “hibachi” style establishments all over the nation and this is one of the better ones.
It’s also more pricey than any we’ve gone to before but I don’t mind as long as the food is good. Our server was a kind older woman who provided us with the best service! We would come back just for her!

Owner response

Longtravelers, we appreciate you dining with Benihana, thank you for the kind words!

This place is the Absolutely BEST! 💯 I Love this place so much! This place was the best for me and my friends, but they had lots of different groups there including, Boyz night out, girls night out, and families with kids! It turned out to be perfect for everyone! They coolest part is that they literally cook the food infront of you! It's like a 6 course meal with a show! The food and the chef are the show! He is literally putting on a show while cooking! Just check out my videos! Plus, the food is really REALLY good! Like so TASTY! My recommendation is to come here and come here early because the wait is a long time, so make sure you have a reservation!

Hello Casey, We appreciate your positive feedback about your experience.
We take pride in serving our customers and hope to see you again soon!

Service was great.
Food was ok, it felt overpriced for the quality.
Make reservations, specially on the weekends it can get very busy.
