Since 1964, Benihana has been renowned for hibachi table-style service of Japanese cuisine that includes steak, chicken, fish, and fresh vegetables. The simplicity of its Hibachi chicken, where the chicken breast was sliced into tender bite-sized pieces perfectly satisfies cravings in my opinion.

FAQs about the Benihana Menu

What menu items have been discontinued at Benihana?

People have been disappointed with the sudden discontinuation of Benihana’s “Lunch Duet” during weekends. The reason for this change has been not disclosed publicly, but I would speculate that the company didn’t need the discounts to drive business to their restaurants on Saturday and Sunday. Of course, that is only a guess. If you look on the bright side, you can still take advantage of these lower cost meals on weekdays.

Here are some details you need to know about this lunch offer. In this combo, you are to pick two out of the four available selections.

Lunch Duet Selection:

1. Beef Juliene
2. Chicken
3. Scallops
4. Shrimp

Beef Julienne and Scallops is one a fan favorite on the Lunch duets menu. 

Benihana provides detailed nutritional information about their menu items online.

Benihana is a perfect place for group dining and family dinner. From its exotic ambiance to high-quality food this place deserves 5-stars in my book. 

A brief history of Benihana.

The restaurant’s name, “Benihana,” which translates to “red flower” in Japanese. The name was inspired by a red safflower in the streets of Tokyo. In 1964, Benihana originally opened its doors in New York and gained its popularity after the legendary food critic Clementine Paddleford gave the establishment a glowing review.

The restaurant gradually expanded to 77 locations in the United States alone and its continuing success attracted competitive investors around the world allowing it to extend its service to more than 100 franchises worldwide.
