Benihana Restaurant Review: It was---and still is---a totally unintimidating initiation for diners of all ages and sophistication levels, thanks to the fun formula of dinner that’s a show. A limited menu of accessible eats (steak, chicken and seafood, stir-fried teppanyaki-style on a steel griddle built into diners’ own tables) is cooked by knife-wielding showmen who slice ‘n’ dice, juggle salt-and-pepper shakers, flip shrimp into their hats, and otherwise play with their food. No worrisome choices necessary, either, since meals are complete; entrées include onion soup, salad with ginger vinaigrette, shrimp appetizer, hibachi veggies and green tea. In an attempt to appeal to younger diners, there is an à la carte sushi menu, too, featuring reliably fresh (though non-local) fish. But it’s the time-tested formula of non-adventuresome but tasty teppanyaki meals, prepared with circus-like flair, that continues to draw and dazzle diners. At this location, a Biscayne Bay view adds to the attraction. Other locations. |
