Benihana Snapshot
Creating Great Guest Memories!
Japanese-born Rocky H. Aoki founded Benihana in 1964, with the opening of it first restaurant in Manhattan's Upper West Side at 61 West 56th St. This restaurant soon became famous with its theatrical chefs and traditional Japanese architecture and structural engineering.
Benihana is successful because of the close relationships developed over the years with our guests, investors, and employees. The Benihana concept began as a family business on the streets of New York in 1964 and has grown to every corner of the world by adopting and living by a strong code of conduct and ethics.
In late 1999, Benihana purchased a majority share in Haru, an upscale, New York sushi concept, that had already proven itself at four locations.
In 2002, Benihana acquired RA Sushi restaurants. The experience is subtly sexy and energetic with a hip ambiance and a young, playful staff. Today, there are 20 locations spanning from CA to FL.
