About Benihana

Benihana offers a mixed dining experience that is enjoyable for celebrations and family dinners. Chefs like Dennis and Irving create a fun and engaging atmosphere, making meals memorable. Customers have recently praised chefs for being excellent hosts, making them feel welcomed and entertained, and providing a wonderful show. The wait staff is often described as pleasant and efficient, contributing to a positive experience. The restaurant is clean and family-friendly, making it a great place to eat Hibachi in Anchorage. The food is well-seasoned, with dishes like miso soup, which has been noted as warm and delightful, and scallops cooked perfectly. Diners have enjoyed flavorful seafood dinners and tasty fried rice, although some have mentioned that the amount of meat could be improved. Drinks are also enjoyed by guests. An added bonus is the opportunity to take pictures with a framed photo at the end of the meal, which many cherish. However, the restaurant can become crowded, leading to noise levels that may make conversation difficult and cause discomfort for some guests. Overcrowding affects the space needed for chefs to perform safely, and some guests have struggled to access their belongings due to limited space. Food quality has been inconsistent; some dishes like calamari and salads have been poorly prepared. The service can feel rushed at times, with checks arriving soon after the meal ends, leaving little time to enjoy the experience. Despite these issues, many visitors still find Benihana a good place for larger groups and enjoy the food, service, and lively atmosphere when everything runs smoothly. Parking is available in a large lot, but it can be difficult to find a spot during busy times.
