Benihana Announces Anniversary/Recession Special
The year 1964 created a lasting impact upon America: the Ford Mustang was introduced, Beatlemania reached the States and the first Benihana restaurant introduced the nation to Japanese cuisine. To commemorate 45 years as the world’s Japanese restaurant leader, Benihana treats guests to a $45 Dinner for Two Anniversary Special beginning January 5 and continuing throughout 2009. Customers will receive the Chicken, Shrimp and Beef Julienne combination entrée for two, each served with Japanese onion soup, Benihana salad, shrimp appetizer, hibachi vegetables, steamed rice, Japanese green tea and ice cream, all for just $45 plus tax. The website says the special is only available at participating locations. We’ll let you know if it’s on at the Benihana on 56th b/t 5th and 6th. If they say it’s not, as you’re probably starting to realize by now, we’ll try to change that for you.


Just spoke with Benihana rep and the $45 deal is good at the 56th St location. Unfortuantely, they won’t pay for the dry cleaning to get that hibachi smell out of your clothes, but we tried.
