Tasty teppanyaki, sushi bar is also good. Have not been there recently, don't know if they've update the menu, people now days seem to favor the Nobu and Zuma style of Japanese.... More

“Teppenyaki cooking!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2012

This is an experience, it's show cooking in front of you and the experience is similar to Mongolian cooking in most buffet places. The prices are not cheap either and the experience is average. If you want to try something different , May be this is the place for you! More

Dear Shehan2000, Thank you for your recent review of Benihana. Benihana chefs are still chopping, slicing and doing their acrobatic show. Glad that you enjoyed the experience. regards, Graeme Ure Executive Asst Manager I/C F&b Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi More

The kids wanted to go for Tepaniaki and they mentioned Benihana as we had one in the US. We called and made a reservation. The hostess was pleasant. Food was good, but Arnold (The Chef) was genuine and you felt he loved his job! The kids had fun and felt part of the action, the sake was good, the sushi... More

The filipina chef at the table was sporting and did a good job entertaining my guest and me ... while serving up great seafood dishes ... a real cool place to host b-day dinner parties for staff and friends. More

“Best Japanese food in town.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

This place does all the usual Japanese favourites, all to a very high standard. It has a lively and friendly atmosphere, and the teppanyaki chefs put on a great show. Not cheap, but generally worth the effort, and conveniently located next to the excellent German bar at the Beach Rotana Hotel. More

“Go to another Benihana”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

Compared to the 2 I've been to in London this was pretty disappointing. No atmosphere and due to the quiet/small space you could hear the same spiel given by each chef - it's fun when it's being done for you but takes away from it when you hear the other chefs doing the same jokes. More

I made the online reservation one week ago and went there for having a nice dinner with my son. The atmosphere completely for touristic purpose, service was bad the taste of foods and quality was very low. The restaurant is also dirtiest one I have eaten before in China' Amsterdam. Manchester. Only cooker's short show ws a bit different experience... More
