Benihana is located on Burnet road near the intersection of Mopac and Hwy 183. They offer two distinct dining environments, the sushi bar and the table-side chef service. If you’re a fan of sushi, Benihana will not let you down as they have one of the best sushi chefs in town. If you’re a fan of dining adventures, we recommend sitting with one of their chefs who will cook your food right in front of your eyes. They really put on a show with food and knives flying around. One of the more interesting shows is building a tower of onion rings that they fill with oil and then light on fire. It looks like a volcano spurting flames. A chef doubling as table-side entertainment makes for a really good time, especially for groups.

This lends itself to attracting a sexy, urban crowd with what can only be explained as the meeting place for “girls night out”. It probably has to do with the label Maiko “Sushi Lounge”, which is very befitting as they have live DJs on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday nights spinning up a great energy. Sunday and Monday nights they offer all night happy hour prices in the sushi bar and lounge area. Tuesday night is ladies night where they have great deals on a special "ladies" menu.

They offer outdoor seating for those trying to looking to enjoy nice weather. The indoors is decorated with a little local flair. One of the highlights is that they’re known for making some seriously top shelf margaritas that go way beyond than just wetting the lips. The entrees are well prepared with some tacos al carbon that reminds me of something I’ve only tasted in interior Mexico. I like that they spend a little more time on the quality of their entrees than most area Tex-Mexican restaurants that simply over stuff every tortilla with too much of the wrong flavor.
