First time user, live in paradise point and hard to find home delivery to here. Food was delivered in under an hour and was excellent. Food was piping hot, which is sometimes rare with home delivery. Will definitely use again.

I'm from Sydney and been to Showchef Teppanyaki and Kobe Jones Teppanyaki. After I went to Benihana, I can say with hand on heart that Benihana is the best teppanyaki that I've been to in Australia.

Really can't work out why the place was quiet. The food was amazing and authentic.

My not so hungry buddy and I used a pre paid discount coupon costing only $27 for the 2 of us for a pleasant and fresh 4 course lunch.

The location is small cafe in arcade type, with a few tables also out side the shop in the arcade. Ambience inside is very casual and relaxed cafe style, no table cloths and, simple table accomplements.

The interior is decorated with the usual japanese bits and pieces to set the mood. The young waiter in traditional but casual costume greeted us in a charming manner, and as we had brought our own cold beers, offered us chilled glasses from the frig, and placed our other beers in the frig to stay cold.

The set meal started arriving via same waiter promptly, starting with a chilled and fresh green salad with an unusual dressing I could not identify. Next was a small entree of soup with large pieces of Tofu, very tasty.

The main course arrived next with a bowl of plain Rice each, a Miso soup each and a large plate of their speciality Teriyaki chicken in chunks to be shared, it was moist and tasty, but not in the BBq style I was expecting of Yakitori but still was plentiful moist and pleasantly garnished. I have had tastier Miso.
Tea and dessert were offered but we passed on those, as what we had already was very filling.

Chilled Local and Japanese Beer $5/$8, also saki etc are available for sale.
Overall, good value, fresh tasting food, very casual a place, and as I noticed the waiter later handling a stringed musical instrument, perhaps, a live performance on occasion.

The sushi here is fresh and there is so much variety. We regularly eat sushi with the family and I must say it did not disappoint. There were so many dishes to pick from and every serving was delicious. The restaurant is clean and the waiters are happy to be there and very attentive. It must be a local favourite judging by the amount of people eating there and the line up. I highly recommend it.
