    According to owners:
    Tucked in a quiet corner of the Fairmont Royal York is Benihana, a restaurant blending traditional Japanese cuisine with the exciting theatrics of Teppan cooking. Founded by Japanese-born entrepreneur Rocky Aoki in 1964, Benihana Restaurants spread across Europe, Asia, Australia and South America before coming to Toronto.

    Teppan cooking is Benihana’s specialty, here highly skilled chefs present and prepare all entrĂ©es at a ‘hibachi’ table (a flat 4’ X 3’ grill), around which up to seven guests are seated. Enjoy the excitement of a fast-paced performance of chopping and juggling, as chefs prepare a show of fresh shrimp, lobster or Kobe beef. Alternatively, those looking for a more exotic meal, take a spot at the sushi bar to watch talented, traditionally trained chefs create elegant treats from the sushi and sashimi menus.

    Dine on the freshest beef, seafood and produce all accompanied by a broad selection of Japanese beer and sake. All teppanyaki entrées are served with Japanese onion soup, Benihana salad with house dressing, grilled shrimp appetizers, hibachi vegetables, rice and green tea. Benihana provides a unique twist on Japanese that makes it apopular place to celebrate any special occasion in a fun and communal atmosphere.
