Benihana in Concord, Calif., is one of nearly 70 Benihana restaurants located throughout the United States. Benihana s Asian restaurants include 55 Benihana teppanyaki restaurants, six Haru sushi restaurants, eight Ra Sushi Bar Restaurants and one Doraku restaurant. Benihana restaurants are traditional Japanese-style hibachi steakhouses serving entrees including prime sirloin, chicken and fresh seafood, all according to a 1,000 year-old Japanese recipe. Blending exotic Japanese dishes with a chef s performance was a radical idea at its inception, but became a success at Benihana. Debuting in New York in 1964, Benihana boasts more than 100,000,000 meals served at its restaurants.
