Benihana.

By Tiago Monteiro

A restaurant where every table is the chef’s table and you’re right in on the action.

It’s dinner as performance art, and this teppanyaki-style Japanese franchise is at the top of its game. Settle around the grill and get to know your fellow diners, then watch in awe as the chef showcases his culinary and ninja skills by chopping, slicing, dicing and grilling your selected morsels in an action-packed sequence. It’s always a fun experience at Benihana, and the food’s delicious too.
