    I hadn’t been to Benihana in literally 20 years, so I was pleasantly surprised that despite being such an “Americanized” version of Japanese food, it was well-prepared and the quality good. Cutting edge, nope, but delicious. The lunch specials were a bargain: less than $25 for soup, tea, fried rice, sautéed vegetables and an entree - my spicy grilled chicken was tasty indeed, and my companions steaks were grilled to perfection. And it was fun, the chefs truly put on a show - “Jazz” was our chef, and he was not only funny and affable, he did a phenomenal magic trick, that despite our proximity to him, no one could figure out just how he did it - amazing. Fun ambiance, good food, and all at a reasonable price is Benihana.

    We live Fush & Bird! In all of the East Bay it is probably the most authentic Japanese food that one can find. The sashimi is very fresh. The temporary light and the tofu is phenomenal. I always look forward to returning to this wonderful restaurant!

    We ate at Akemi two nights in a row. That says it all. Counter seating was tons of fun. Watching the masters at work was best theater in Berkeley. Food was simply delicious. And, we will return!
