Give the gift of Japanese cuisine and a show all wrapped into one with a Benihana gift card. At Benihana, highly trained chefs slice, chop and cook a variety of meats, seafood and fresh vegetables right at your table, which doubles as a Japanese hibachi grill. The cooking style, known as teppenyaki, uses raw and fresh ingredients that are prepared on a large flat-top grill at the center of each table. At Benihana, the meal preparation is turned into an entertainment event as chefs show off their knife skills, perform tricks, and even add sound effects to match their actions as they work.

• The menu at Benihana is divided into two parts: teppenyaki grilled lunches and dinners, and more traditionally-served fare, which is available either at the hibachi tables (where it is delivered by waitstaff rather than prepared by the tableside chefs) or at the restaurant's sushi bar. Teppenyaki meals are available only at the hibachi grills. http://www.benihana.com/menu

• Samples from the Benihana teppenyaki menu include hibachi tuna steak, twin lobster tails, hibachi colossal shrimp, hibachi scallops, filet mignon, hibachi steak, hibachi lemon chicken, spicy tofu steak, Benihana yakisoba dinner (with noodles), garden delight and much more.http://www.benihana.com/menu/teppanyaki From the sushi bar, diners can choose from a fresh selection of hand rolls, special rolls, nigiri, sashimi and other assorted items.

Gift cards for Benihana restaurants can be purchased in two ways. First, you may visit any Benihana location and purchase gift cards in person. If you prefer to stay in the comfort of your home, you may also order your gift cards from the company website. To do this, go to the home page and click on Gift Cards in the upper righthand portion of the page. This will take you to an ordering screen, where you can request gift cards in any amount between 20-100 dollars, in five dollar increments.
