Benihana is a Florida-based American company that owns franchises and Japanese restaurants in various parts of the world, including the Benihana Teppanyaki brand and sushi restaurants RA and Haru.
Explained in Japanese, Benihana means saffron, which is mainly used as a dietary supplement and also as an edible oil. However, most people associate this name with the popular teppanyaki restaurant founded by famous athlete and entrepreneur Rocky Aoki.
It is said that his father suggested the name of the restaurant. But there is something interesting about these restaurants - restaurants in America are known as "Benihana in Tokyo" while restaurants in Tokyo are known as "Benihana in New York" which is where Rocky started his career.
If you want to indulge your taste buds with a delicious Japanese flavor, Benihana is the place to be. This restaurant can give you an amazing taste of Asian food that you have never tasted.
