Benihana Covent Garden is a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant at 31 Maiden Lane in central London. The experience is designed around live cooking, with guests seated around hot steel grills where their chef prepares the meal directly in front of the table.
The performance is part of the appeal, combining precise knife work, dramatic grill techniques and conversation with the chef. Hibachi steak, chicken, salmon and prawns are central choices, while sushi and other Japanese dishes extend the menu beyond the grill.
The restaurant has two main dining levels with nineteen teppanyaki tables in total, each seating eight guests. A lounge with a large video installation provides space for cocktails, wine or a non-alcoholic drink before the main dining experience begins.
Two private dining rooms and menus designed for groups make Benihana particularly well suited to birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations. Lunch and dinner service also allow smaller parties to enjoy the same combination of Japanese food, shared tables and culinary theatre.
Address: 31 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7JS, England
