About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Romantic
A Japanese Dream. An International Success Story. The story of Benihana had its roots in Japan when Yunosuke Aoki, a samurai descendant and a popular Japanese entertainer together with his wife Katsu, opened a small coffee shop in Tokyo. A red safflower found in the neighbourhood streets gave the Aoki’s the inspiration for the restaurant’s name; ‘Benihana – or ‘red flower’ in Japanese.

    The restaurant went out of business. It closed its doors to business and cancelled my reservation before I got to try it out. So I never got to experience any part of what was on offer.

    Although the food was good (not amazing). The service was extremely poor and disorganised. The order we made was messed up entirely (and not particularly difficult). There were three of us and we ordered 3 set lunch menus and an additional 2 starters. One of my friends main came before any of the other food and he finished it by the time the other two of us were finishing our starters. His starter didn’t come at all despite 2 people clarifying and apologising that it was just coming. My friend and I’s Main course didn’t come at all. We ended up leaving after 45 minutes of waiting for it. £5 each was taken off the bill (a total of £10) . We were told the mains are as on its way a good 2-3 times.. My friend asked 3 different people for cutlery 4 times with it only coming in the last 15minutes of us leaving. One of the chefs had a full blown argument with a waitress in front of us. It was awkward. We felt very uncomfortable. There was a lot of free staff standing around chatting to each other or standing around idle but no one actually came to serve us or help us and it was almost as though they were avoiding eye contact. This is the second time I came and both times has been awful service. Not rude but just highly incompetent. It’s a shame because the place has a lot of potential, unfortunately it’s just not worth the faff. I would avoid and go somewhere else.

    Loved our experience here! had the prawn starter which was amazing could get enough of the sauce that comes with it. we also ordered crab sushi which was lovely. our mains were stake and lobster for myself and my partner went for the wagyu beef scallops and lobster all cocked to perfection. the chef Katie was fantastic maybe just need to be a bit more confident as she was a little quieter than other chefs around us! but this could be due to children being on those tables. there is a 12.5% service charge but i would say that is reasonable as i assume this would go to the chef its dinner and a show.

    First time in UK Benihana restaurant and as I was introducing my family to this experience I was hopefull that they would not be disappointed. I have been in several restaurants in USA, the first was in downtown Houston in 1979 and what an experience. Benihanas in Glasgow was very entertaining and great food. As this was my family’s first teppanyci experience they all enjoyed a great night out. Cost was on the expensive side and if I may say when it came to sea food or steaks, content could have been a bit larger instead of lots of veg, rice and noodles. Chef May was a pleasure to have cooking our meal. Hopefully my family will return for a good entertaining meal, hopefully a bit cheaper and more meat. Regards Hugh Simm.
