Benihana

Benihana is great. Great food and ambiance. I highly recommend.

Benihana is like no other place for sushi in friendship heights. They serve everything right before your table. The servers are really skilled. It's great for birthdays especially!

It's been awhile since i had been to a Benihana, but now I remember why I used to love to go. We had our holiday dinner here. The bartender was great - friendly and quick to get our drinks. Our server was funny and the hibachi grillers were so entertaining. We also ordered sushi - that was great. We did the $30 dinner that included soup, salad, appetizer, entree, dessert and hot tea.

The sushi bar section at Benihana (Bethesda) is quite small. The rumor is that they plan on moving to a larger space Fall 2003. However, for $20 per person, you can order as much sushi as you like for as long as you're hungry. Unlike the traditional "sushi buffet" at most other restaurants, which offers a limited number of rolls that you must stand in line to acquire, Behihana lets you place as many individual orders as you prefer and keeps the food coming. The chefs are very professional and the sushi is a world apart from the typical Japanese steakhouse. More fish and more imagination. We have been customers for a year and have come to crave this fine dining experience.
