Review

Founded by a samurai descendant and a popular Japanese entertainer, Benihana opened its first restaurant in New York in 1964, and has since become a household name for theatrical teppanyaki. Benihana at the Riverside Plaza - the original branch in Thailand - brings its world-famous counter-top spectacles, premium meats, and signature red and black decor (a tribute to its name, meaning 'red flower').

The menu offers multiple set options, each including an option of meat or seafood along with a soup, appetiser, salad, hibachi vegetables, and steamed rice. For best beef cuts, choose from teppanyaki beef sets which feature premium options from Japanese Kobe wine rib eye to signature miyazaki wagyu striploin. These are cooked to buttery, perfection with sauces and condiments to accompany. Should you wish to try a bit of everything, Rocky's como teppanyaki sets offer you several different combinations of beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. The chef's recommended koji koji set includes a combination of kurobuta pork, Hokkaido scallops, and salmon. The chefs deliver a slick performance as they chop, flip, and grill these meats in zesty and indulgent lemon butter. Want a turn at the chef's table? You can always ask. There are abundant cocktail and mocktail options, along with a sufficient wine list.
