Benihana operates a leading chain of 86
Japanese restaurants which include 60 Benihana teppanyaki restaurants,
nine Haru sushi restaurants, 17 RA Sushi Bar Restaurants.
Under development at present are seventeen
restaurants - eight Benihana teppanyaki restaurants and nine
RA Sushi restaurants. In addition, 18 franchised Benihana teppanyaki
restaurants are operating in the U.S., Latin America and the
Caribbean.
Benihana restaurants are traditional Japanese-style
hibachi steakhouses - called "teppanyaki." At Benihana,
your meal is prepared and served by a performing chef, right
at your table. The chef slices and cooks the meal in a spectacular
way. Diners can choose from a variety of fresh sushi and other
Japanese favorites.
The menus are simple and distinctive; the
teppanyaki menu consists of top sirloin, tender poultry, seafood
and vegetarian entrees. Steak is the most popular item at Benihana
and part of 46.2% of all orders.
The company acquired RA Sushi in 2003 with
four units in Arizona. These Japanese-themed sushi restaurants
now have nine locations and more under development in California,
Florida, Illinois, Nevada and Texas.
In fiscal 2007, revenues at the company
were $271.1 million and net income was $14.5 million.
Rocky Aoki opened the first Benihana restaurant
in New York in 1964 with just four tables.
